Sakamichi no Apollon – 09
「ラブ・ミー・オア・リーブ・ミー」 (Rabu mī oa rību mī)
“Love Me Or Leave Me”
If Tsuritama is Oscar Peterson – bright and brash and slightly out of control, bursting with creative flair, Sakamichi is Bill Evans. Not a note is wasted, and not an unnecessary one added.
Kuroko no Basuke – 09
「勝つために」
“To Win”
I suppose if nothing else, Kuroko no Basuke must stand as an inspirational tale about the endless rewards possible through hard work and practice.
Eureka Seven AO – 08
「(ワン・ネイション・アンダー・ア・グルーヴ/blue thunder」 (Wan Neishon Andā A Gurūvu)
“One Nation Under a Groove”
It’s ironic that Eureka Seven AO is the first series in almost two years to make me question whether I really wanted to be blogging at all.
Sakamichi no Apollon – 08
「ムード・インディゴ ジーズ・フーリッシュ・シングス」 (Mūdo indigo jīzu fūrisshu shingusu)
“Mood Indigo These Foolish Things”
And lo, with the simple question “Would you like a persimmon?” was the fujoshi movement born in Kyushu, 1967…
Another – 00 (OVA)
「アナザー OAD」
“Episode 00”
If the OVA of Another conjures up anything in my mind’s eye, it’s the realization of just how tragically the final two episodes of the TV series missed the mark.
Kuroko no Basuke – 08
「改めて思いました」 (Aratamete Omoimashita)
“Now That I Think About It”
One thing I feel confident of is that mangaka will never run out of esoteric explanations for the weird stuff that happens in sports manga.
Eureka Seven AO – 07
「ノー・ワン・イズ・イノセン/bye bye angel」 (Nō wan Izu inosento)
“No One Is Innocent”
Wherever The Truth is from, apparently they need more lolis.
Sakamichi no Apollon – 07
「ナウズ・ザ・タイム」 (Nauzu za taimu)
“Now’s The Time”
Well, that’s certainly going to give the fujoshi something to talk about…
Kuroko no Basuke – 07
「すごいもん見れるわよ」 (Sugoi Mon Mireru wayo)
“You’ll See Something Amazing”
