”What do we do with all this money, Issac?” |
You’d think with a premise like prohibition-era-mafia-meets immortal-alchemists-in-a-pulp-epic more people would’ve watched this show. Welcome to day 9, and by the end, you’ll be wanting a fedora.

Who |
Maybe it’s the season, or the unusual plethora of romance anime I’m watching this season (or the constant repetition of “The Last” by WongFu Productions), but I finally decided that this post would be all about the who, what, when, where, and whys of my anime history, represented by different anime that defined a particular point in time.

Memento Mori – “Remember you are mortal.” |
RC’s Twelve Days of Anime continues with Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo as I delve into one my favorite movies and its commentary on life.

It’s not tea but it has a loli with a hammer for some reason. |
Welcome all, to our very own Random Curiosity Twelve Days of Anime series of posts. As the guy who proposed, organised and hunted down the rest of the team to make sure these posts were finished on time, I have the dubious honour of introducing our very own twelve day lead up to Christmas!

「約束のチケット」 (Yakusoku no Chiketto)
“The Promised Ticket”
You can consider this an unpaid commercial for the best series almost none of you are watching.

「大いなる神の審判」 (Ooi Naru Kami no Shinpan)
“Grand Divine Judgement”
CØDE:BREAKER starts off with an episode that leaves me cautiously optimistic. Human BBQ anyone?

「-DT- Dimension Transfer」
I think it’s fairly safe to say that Ixion Saga DT isn’t trying to take itself particularly seriously.

「おにあい」 (Oniai)
“Well Matched”
This imouto romcom isn’t exactly innovative, but it is shameless and enjoyable. Consider it a light snack to enjoy between this season’s plot-heavy, meatier affairs.

「侵略者ディオ」 (Shinryaku-sha Dio)
“Dio the Destroyer”
What JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: The Animation lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in spades with its old school shounen charm and nostalgia. DIIIIIIOOOOOOOO!

「大切なもの見つけました。」 (Taisetsuna Mono Mitsukemashita.)
“We Found Something Important”
While to some, mecha may be synonymous with giant robots, that’s certainly not the case – Super Robots is just one of many subgenres that forms the much larger and more varied mecha genre. In Busou Shinki you won’t find any of those, that’s for sure. What you will find are loyal, extremely helpful, 15cm tall, intelligent, battle-ready gynoids!
