I’ve continued on with watching Hanasakeru Seishonen, and as one would expect from an anime adaptation of a Natsumi Itsuki series, it grows more more complex as the series progresses. The first four episodes seemed like an engaging and slightly quirky reverse harem scenario, with all the wealthy industrialists and leopard reincarnation talk going...
One of the unfinished series from Tokyopop that I’ll miss the most is Demon Sacred. It had a total commitment to shoujo insanity, and I’m sad that I won’t be able to see the end of this story about trans-dimensional unicorns, teen idol doppelganger demons, and reverse aging teens. Michelle pointed out to me...
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is Cross Game. I love the manga, and the anime looks like it did a great job translating Adachi’s character designs and blend of drama and baseball action into animated format. I’ve only watched the first couple episodes so far on the Viz anime site.
For this week’s Saturday Morning Cartoon, let’s enjoy the goggles, billowing coats, and steampunk airships of Last Exile:
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is one of my all time favorite anime: Read Or Die!
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is one of my all time favorite anime series, Vision of Escaflowne: I might have been introduced to anime first by Robotech, but Escaflowne was the show that reeled me back in to watching it again after a long absence. I caught one of the episodes when it ran on...

I recently finished watching this series for the first time since I saw the early Robotech episodes in 1985. I have very specific memories of going to my Grandma’s house after school and watching Robotech in her basement. I absolutely...
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is Story of Saiunkoku! So many pretty men! So much wind blowing flower petals!
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is the ending credits for the Paradise Kiss anime, because more anime shows need to show their characters shaking their heinys: I do love these whimsical credits and the shift in character design for the closing. Using a Franz Ferdinand song isn’t so bad either.
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is the opening sequence of Princess Jellyfish, a new anime that Funimation just started streaming. The characters are shown reenacting scenes from classic movies like Star Wars, Mary Poppins, James Bond, and The Graduate. Ordinarily I don’t automatically tend to go for stories about female otaku, but Princess Jellyfish is...
