Gate...

Image
Recently, I watched Gate ... On August 20XX, a gate suddenly appears in Tokyo's Ginza district, unleashing a portal where monsters, medieval knights and other fantasy beings come from another world and wreak havoc on Tokyo. The Japanese Defense Force take action against these monsters and push them back into the Gate. Third Reconnaissance Team is dispatched to the Special Region lead by officer (and otaku) Youji Itami. On their travels, they are joined by a beautiful elf girl who is a survivor from the dragon's rampage and guide the group across the dangerous new world.

Gleipnir...

Image
There was something about the animal mascot-like thing in Gleipnir , that said watch me, so I did... Shuichi is an ordinary student with the unusual power to transform into a monstrous dog with a revolver and a zipper down his back. Unsure of where his power came from or whom to trust, he'll risk it all to save a beautiful classmate named Clair.

Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle...

Image
I took the opportunity to watch Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle aka Maoujou de Oyasumi ... The Demon Lord Tasogare's castle is a dark and frightening place, filled to the brim with various monsters. Any soul unfortunate enough to be imprisoned here is sure to be terrified by the horrors within. However, the human princess Aurora Suya Rhys (Syalis) Kaymin is a different case. Rather indifferent to her situation, Syalis worries about one thing and one thing only -- sleep. Ever since the demon lord kidnapped her from her kingdom, she has not had a single good night's rest. To alleviate her dozen dozing issues, the princess makes do with what she can find in the castle. Whether it be the fur of fluffy demonic teddy bears or the silky, blanket-like bodies of ghost shrouds, everything is but a means to ensure a peaceful slumber. With so many potential materials to craft items that can help her sleep at her disposal, nothing will stop the sleepy princess -- not even death.

Special 7: Special Crime Investigation Unit...

Image
Special 7: Special Crime Investigation Unit looked like something I might enjoy... The world is filled with elves, dwarves, vampires, homunculi, and humans. It’s a time of peace until Nine stirs up chaos. To stop them, the police have created Special 7, and Seiji is a new recruit with ties to Nine's previous airport attack.

Angel's Egg...

Image
Not long ago, I had the opportunity to watch Angel's Egg aka Tenshi no Tamago ... A mysterious young girl wanders a desolate, otherworldly landscape, carrying a large egg. The young girl is the sole protector of a very precious, large egg. Her lair is near a large, abandoned, decaying gothic city inhabited by restless shadows. A mysterious young man arrives one day, and eventually wins her trust.

Monster Musume: Everyday Life With Monster Girls...

Image
I watched Monster Musume: Everyday Life With Monster Girls aka Monster Musume no Oishasan ... No one expected the government to suddenly acknowledge the existence of demi-human species like harpies and centaurs, but when a careless Integration Agent shows up on Kimihito Kurusu's doorstep with an attractive Lamia in tow, he suddenly finds himself designated as a Host Family. This might not be so bad, except that while Miia's top half is all girl and quickly develops a crush on her new human host, her snakelike bottom half makes that crush literal with a tendency to squeeze the life out of him! Plus, there's also the little problem that it's illegal for humans and non-humans to have THOSE kinds of relationships. With woman-in-black Agent Smith always sniffing about for improprieties, things only get more hectic in the Kurusu household when bird-brained Papi the harpy and master-seeking centaur Centorea need places to roost and stable. As the house gets crowded with ev...

Akudama Drive...

Image
I waded into the stream once again to see  Akudama Drive ... Many years ago, a Great Civil War ravaged Japan, leaving the country fragmented between two regions: Kansai and Kanto. In Kansai, a group of six Akudama carry out missions given to them by a mysterious black cat, while evading the police. But a dangerous journey is about to unfold when a civilian girl becomes twisted into the Akudama's way of life and witnesses their criminal drives.

My Experience With The New Blogger Backend...

Image
Last year, Blogger began rolling out a new interface for maintaining blogs on the Blogger platform. The new interface has a clean and supposedly phone-friendly design featuring more white space and larger buttons for fat-fingered usage. However, under the hood, there were some rather surprising changes. The Blogger team made a formal announcement of the change on the Blogger Buzz blog: We'll be moving everyone to the new interface over the coming months. Starting in late June, many Blogger creators will see the new interface become their default, though they can revert to the old interface by clicking Revert to legacy Blogger in the left-hand navigation. By late July, creators will no longer be able to revert to the legacy Blogger interface.

Violet Evergarden...

Image
It took a while, but, I finally watched Violet Evergarden ... TV Series Violet Evergarden was raised to be a weapon for a war that has ended. Now she's learning how to heal her mind and body. Working as an Auto Memory Doll, she writes people's thoughts and feelings into letters -- and in doing so, learns about her own feelings. Movie Violet Evergarden: Eternity And The Auto Memory Doll Violet Evergarden is an Auto Memory Doll who writes people's thoughts into letters. But her latest job is to tutor Isabella York into becoming a proper lady. However, Isabella feels trapped and wrestles with grief. How long does it take to truly heal?

ID: Invaded...

Image
I ventured out into the stream once again to have a look at ID: Invaded ... The Mizuhanome System is a highly advanced development that allows people to enter one of the most intriguing places in existence -- the human mind. Through the use of so-called -- cognition particles -- left behind at a crime scene by the perpetrator, detectives from the specialized police squad Kura can manifest a criminal's unconscious mind as a bizarre stream of thoughts in a virtual world. Their task is to explore this psychological plane, called an -- id well -- to reveal the identity of the culprit. Not just anyone can enter the id wells; the prerequisite is that you must have killed someone yourself. Such is the case for former detective Akihito Narihisago, who is known as Sakaido inside the id wells. Once a respected member of the police, tragedy struck, and he soon found himself on the other side of the law. Nevertheless, Narihisago continues to assist Kura in confinement. While his prodigiou...
