Maoyuu Maou Yuusha: AKA everything has breasts in Japan
shamelessly ripped from myanimelist.net
Having read part of the manga, Spice and Wolf Season III has been my favourite show of the new season thus far. Maoyuu Maou Yuusha sees the return of the much-beloved duo of protagonists voiced by Ami Koshimizu and Jun Fukuyama, yet the departure from the world portrayed in manga and novels to screen has been rather surprising thus far.

Reviewing and discussing on the more interesting horror manga I’ve read recently, “Zekkyou Gakkyuu”, or “Screaming Lessons” by Ishikawa Kei. More within.
Movie: おおかみこどもの雨と雪 – The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki
おおかみこどもの雨と雪 (Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki or The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki) is a movie by Hosoda Mamoru (Girl who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars), released July 21st in Japan this year.

Summer 2012 First Impressions – Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!
This pretty much sums it up. I don’t normally make fun of shows like this, but Kono Naka was just practically begging for it. Watch if you like boobs and incest.
Summer 2012 First Impressions – Binbougami Ga!
Quite honestly, I didn’t know what to expect of Binbougami Ga! Having seen the first episode, I can now say that Binbougami will probably be that one “weird but funny” show of the season. Yes, you could argue that Jinrui is also weird and funny, but that isn’t the point of that show. Binbougami on the other hand, is pure comedy.

Summer 2012 First Impressions – Humanity has Declined
Humanity has declined is a surrealist-slash-macabre social commentary that utilizes the advantages of satire and black humor to get its cynicism across to the audience in a backdrop of a post-apocalyptic pastel-colored dreamland.
Aquarion EVOL – Timeless Love and Destiny
I just marathoned Aquarion EVOL, so you know what that means… tl;dr time! In this week’s tl;dr post, we’ll take a look at the concept of destiny/fate, as well as the central theme of Aquarion; love that transcends time and space. Moreso than with my previous tl;drs, this post will contain my own thoughts and opinions as opposed to solid facts, so take what you are about to read with a grain of salt.
Warning: Images may contain spoilers.
