The dark world of Boogiepop Doesn’t Laugh revealed in the trailer
Boogiepop Doesn’t Laugh is a new TV anime adaptation of the light novel series by Kouhei Kadono. In particular, it’s based on the first book which means it is set before Boogiepop Phantom. I suspect this is more of a reboot, from an earlier time than a prequel for Boogiepop Phantom. Shingo Natsume will direct […]
A review of Blue Exorcist: Season 2 – Kyoto Saga

Multiple Misaka: A Certain Scientific Railgun S review
I really enjoyed the first season of A Certain Scientific Railgun and subsequently was looking forward to the sequel. Somehow, though, I started to wonder whether A Certain Scientific Railgun S was more a reboot than a sequel. It’s not, but it does weave into the story arc of A Certain Magical Index. That’s the […]
Wizards vs Nuns: A review of A Certain Magical Index II
The subtitle for my review of A Certain Magical Index was easy to come up with: Wizards vs Science. It’s just as easy for the sequel. In this story Kamijo and Index find themselves up against all sort of foes but especially churches and their penguin-esq army of nuns. Yes, nuns. If this doesn’t make […]
