The Power of Mochi
I for one have never tried mochi, but after watching a bit of KyoAni’s latest I’m more curious then ever. Of course it certainly helps that there’s a dash of slice of life and a pinch of romance, but the main course … Continue reading
Potential Show Candidate #3: Robotics;Notes
Steins;Gate from a few seasons ago was quite the surprise to say the least. I went into it with no more than a mild interest but by episode 12 my mind had been blown open and by episode 19 my … Continue reading
Potential Show Candidate #2 – Zetsuen no Tempest
Zetsuen no Tempest is one of those shows where the preview does everything right. It’s got the classical music that catches your ears with its dazzling strings and some badass artistic previews. It got me so bad that I actually … Continue reading
