Ookamikakushi




Ookamikakushi also finished this week. Ookamikakushi is a mystery show in which a high school boy transfers to a small, developing town in the Japanese countryside, but there's something going on that he doesn't know about, and people start disappearing.

I know that sounds a hell of a lot like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, but it really isn't very similar. I just can't say much more about the plot without spoilers.

While not as good as Sora no Woto or Durarara, Ookamikakushi was pretty enjoyable to watch. Like Sora no Woto, it is 12 episodes long, but the last episode is a kind of filler/OVA style one that really doesn't have much to do with the plot.

Sora no Woto


So I finally watched the last episode of Sora no Woto. If you haven't been watching it or keeping up on that kind of thing, Sora no Woto is somewhat of a slice of life anime about a small group of soldiers in a sort of distant future post-apocalyptic world, after humanity has rebuilt, to a degree. It takes place in what seems to be part of Europe, Spain, judging from the scenery. Music is a major theme, specifically the tune of "Amazing Grace".

Anyways, Sora no Woto is one of the best shows this season, with episodes that range everywhere from moeblob to war. I would highly recommend you watch this show, even if you don't normally watch anime.

Starting my blog

So I finally went ahead and made a blog. Not sure what anyone expects to see here really. I plan on ranting about whatever strikes my fancy, as well as reviewing a couple new anime each season, initially with first impressions then whenever my opinion changes, etc.

I may or may not decide to place ads on the page, if only because it would get me money, and I like money. I suppose it depends how many people actually start reading this.

Anyways, hope you enjoy my ranting about whatever random crap I can come up with.

Title is kinda a work in progress.
