A Quick Look at Bokurano

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Leap250

I admit, I haven’t been much of a mecha fan nowadays. Back when I was younger though, a lot of mecha shows were dubbed by our local television. The likes of Voltes V, Daimos, and later on, a few Gundam shows, like Wing and Seed. I was a fan of the genre for some time. But that was then, and the only mecha that I have on my list besides those is Code Geass (yep, haven’t watched TTGL)

Which brings us to this Quick Look. After looking for some anime with a ‘psychological’ theme, I stumbled across this show, at first thinking it was just another mecha show. Apparently, it’s a mighty bit more psychological than it appears to be, to my surprise. Here’s Bokurano.

A Quick Look at Kurokami

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Leap250

Through the course of the relatively many titles that I have watched, there have been a lot of themes used in them. The likes of boy-meets-girl, the chosen one, teenage boy gaining uber powers, etc. These themes are what appeal to me on whether or not I should watch a series.

However, there is one such theme that is, well not exactly new, but is so intriguing, that you can’t help but be curious. The theme I’m talking about is, defying fate. A little deep, but rather simple.

So let’s see how this series tries to take that theme for a spin. Here’s a Quick Look at Kurokami.

A Quick Look at Bartender

After giving my insights on what I am watching currently, I felt that it’s that time again to share a series that I have watched since way back. Yep, it’s time for another Quick Look.

This series that I will be talking about is rather “unique” in the sense, and I doubt that this kind of theme has been done in the past (well, it’s either that, or I am still wet behind the ears when it comes to anime) A rather hidden gem beneath the sand, it was only by chance that I discovered this anime.

So take a peek, and see for yourself what I am talking about. Here is, Bartender.

A Quick Look at Spice and Wolf

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Leap250

Seeing that this is going to be my first ever post here, I was kind of wary to write something about the Summer season titles. I only picked up four shows from this season, and I don’t have enough background information about them, to make a decent commentary on their first episodes. That being said, I’m going to start off with a series that I know very well. It is one of my all-time favorite titles, and I have enjoyed it countless times in the past, as well as in the present. Some of you may already be familiar with it, some, may be not. So without further ado, here it is, Spice and Wolf.
