Ozuma – 01

「砂のクジラ」 (Suna no Kujira)
“A Whale of Sand”

It’s been a long wait, but Spring’s finally here, as well as the new anime season. And so, to start things off, we have the Sci-Fi series, “Ozuma.” The first episode comes out a bit generic and has some cliches, but there’s definitely some potential here.

**The Season Preview should be out around the end of the week.

Shakugan no Shana III (Final) – 23

「神の夢」 (Kami no Yume)
“A God’s Dream”

After two whole seasons of twists and turns that have consistently lead to a direction that one may not have originally expected, this pre-finale episode in some strange fashion managed to wrap up almost every loose end in one go — something that I would have to chalk up to some good writing and a well disguised deus ex machina.

Ano Natsu de Matteru – 11

「行かないで、先輩。」 (Ikanaide, Senpai.)
“Don’t Leave, Senpai.”

No matter how much it hurts, no matter how much it lessens the chance of them being with their beloved, these six friends always do what is best for one another. If nothing else, I think that’s why this show is amazing. Friendship, through thick and thin, no matter how weak or hopeless each of them are alone. A beautiful love story. A beautiful friendship story.
