Haganai NEXT Episode 2

Rika catches Kodaka’s attention by taking off her glasses and letting her hair down, only to lose it again by introducing to the club to some BL anime. Later on Kodaka encounters Maria’s older sister Kate, although it seems she’s not quite as old as she looks.

Tamako Market Episode 2

Valentine’s day is approaching and the Bunny Mountain Shopping District (yes, they apparently live on Bunny Mountain) brainstorms ideas for the occasion. Tamako herself seems to have a few admirers but who will she give her chocolate to?

First Impressions: Good Job Club

A loli tsundere, a quiet genius, a tea serving yandere, and a domesticated cat girl are in a club with a brow beaten, average guy. As the Good Job Club (I’m assuming it’s called that from the title of the series), they… I don’t know what they’re supposed to do actually, they never explain that either.

First Impressions: Tamako Market

Tamako already leads a busy life attending high school, spending time with her friends in the baton club, and helping out at her family’s mochi shop, but her life may get even more hectic after finding an incredibly peculiar talking bird.

Winter 2013 Anime Short Roundabout ROUND 2

Alright everyone, once again for the sake of JOURNALISM, we’re back for another round of this season’s anime shorts. Our coverage (and my suffering) continues with Line Offline Salaryman, Ishida & Asakura, gdgd Fairies and Senyu. Are any of these quick hits of anime worth your troubles or is your handful of minutes better spent elsewhere? HMM I WONDER HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO?

OP/ED Op-Eds: Shiroi Kokoro [Oreimo]

Love or hate the series, one cool thing Oreimo had going for it was a new ending song for every episode. Each of the female cast members gets their chance to step up to the mic, but even with more popular actresses like Ayana Taketatsu and Kana Hanazawa in the mix it’s Saori Hayami’s “Shiroi Kokoro” that stands out as the best.

Ixion Saga DT Episode 13

To no one’s surprise, Kon and Ecarlate are still alive and regroup with Sainglain and Mariandale. In the nearest city, they encounter a strange girl who may be Kon’s most dangerous adversary yet.

Nekomonogatari Black First & Final Impressions

Nekomonogatari Black tells the story of the fated Golden Week shortly before the events of Bakemonogatari. Araragi tries to sort out his feelings for Hanekawa, the girl who helped him survive his own bizarre and dangerous Spring Break. But Hanekawa has troubles of her own, even before her body is possessed by a mischievous cat spirit.

Winter 2013 Anime Short Roundabout Hullabaloo

Seems like a growing trend the past couple of seasons for studios to crank out quick, cheap, 5 minute or less anime shorts in an effort to… uhhhh well…. honestly I’m not sure what these things are for, but there’s quite a few of them this season and they often get the same big announcement (and streaming license) as any other full length title. So in the name of JOURNALISM, let us venture forth and see if any of the Winter season’s shorts are worth even the minuscule amounts of time they demand.

Not convinced that Kon and Ecarlate are actually dead, Gustav and KT tail Sainglain and Mariandale to be certain. Unsurprisingly, Gustav’s vices hinder his ability to do the job.
