I’ll admit that I wasn’t a huge fan of the original DTB, but I do think it had an interesting concept, and I have to say I was a bit let down by the second season. I think Gemini of the Meteor is a perfect example of what I’ll call a “People Pleaser, Movie [...]

One of my all-time personal favorites, Ookiku Furikabutte (Oofuri) or for the American release, Big Windup! has been green-lit for a second season. The second season, based on the Kodansha Award-winning manga by Asa Higuchi, should be airing in Spring of 2010, according to the wrap-around jackets on the latest tankouban of the manga.
The first [...]
So I totally got behind on this. Real life is a bitch. Seems that, just as I (and you, for that matter) have to deal with the cruel bitch mother that is real life, so does Araragi. Well, if you count curses and cute girls as real life. The aforementioned (very ‘afore’ because I’m so [...]

We start with Araragi and Kanbaru on a date. A date they’re doing for Ooshino, to put a single oofuda on a shrine temple. A shrine temple for a snake god. Where snakes are being sacrificed.
Yeah, sexy first date. Good thing Senjougahara approved of it beforehand (with many a warning for Araragi including death by [...]
We continue on with Kanbaru’s Rainy Devil problem, gaining a bit of background into how the “shit went down”. Basically, Kanbaru got the “monkey’s paw” from her mom. Helluva Christmas present. She used it to wish to be a fast runner, but upon seeing the consequences (fives classmates getting attacked), she decided not to ever [...]

So, thankfully, we start off right where the last episode left off…for once. With a cliffhanger like that, there’d be murder if they made people wait around. Anyways, recap: Araragi was last seen on a railroad track, beat to all hell and back by a hooded figure with one nasty-ass left hook.
So! As said before, [...]
So, I’m glad to say things picked up a bit, or just got back on track in this episode. For instance, we finally discover just what the heck is up with out little Hichikuji snail…cow…. We also find out a couple revealing things about the other characters- namely that everyone has family issues sometimes (I [...]

After last episode, even though a hint of plot showed at the very (and I mean very) end, I was wondering exactly what would happen with this episode. Turns out it’s a good time for all- getting lost with lost girls, more child abuse, and snide comments abound.
The little lost lamb…..or, snail, as she would [...]
Ok, this is a bit late in coming, but I just watched the third episode, and, while I wasn’t let down per se, I was definitely underwhelmed.
The episode continues with Araragi and Senjogahara (it’d be a waste of perfectly good fanservice to get rid of her, and thus I will for now on refer to [...]
