Reading the synopsis...
Hmmmmmm.....this feels strangely similar to Seakano: how to raise a boring heroine. Maybe it's just me... |

Who writes these things anyway? She likes black clothes, so...she wears black clothes. Good for her, I guess? And one might be a sagacious beauty but beauty itself is not wise or shrewd. As for "based on the logic of selling well," I have no idea what that even means. |

Well, the blurbs on this one (and I'm guessing all of these Spotlights) look like they were pretty literally translated from Japanese.
Another miss for me (Norn9 being the first), but maybe others will find this sort of show to their liking. |

I'm very hyped for this anime. Saekano is one of my favourite anime last year so its my cup of tea. Tanaka Romeo never disappoints.

Whoever is writing this seriously needs to do a proper translation rather than a literal translation of the Japanese text.

Did I step in a time-warp? I can't recall the last time I heard a character described as "groovy". Is he also "shagadelic"?
Teruha "has touched computers from long ago". Has she undergone treatment and apologized to her victims? Or does this mean she only likes to fondle old machines. Is it safe for me to watch this on a laptop? And it is good to know Yuka is live, it would be difficult for her to relate to the rest of the case if she was on tape-delay. Yes, I had to come to work today and I am bored. I for one hope they keep these kind of translations as they are very amusing and all the information you need is actually there once you learn how to read them. |

I had to go back and re-read to see what you were talking about. I think they meant she's lively and hyperactive, but when I first read that "she moves around a lot," I thought she changed residences frequently. And I forgot to mention "groovy," which made me blink. You're right, they are kind of entertaining, as long as they're at least decipherable enough to know what they were trying to say. Which they often aren't. |

Answerman - Why Is Incest Such A Common Topic In Anime?
anime
"Why does incest come up so often as a story element in anime and manga?" you may have asked yourself at some point. You're not alone!
― John asks: In a recent episode of Hand Shakers a character revealed that had romantic feelings for their biological sibling. This is nothing new with series like OreImo, Boku wa Imoto ni Koi o Suru, and the classic Koi Kaze to name a few. Which got me to wonder abo...
Understanding Sword Art Online
novels
The easiest way to comprehend the hugely popular Sword Art Online series - from its soaring highs to its widely-criticized lows - is by understanding the series' author, Reki Kawahara.
― Love it or hate it, Sword Art Online is arguably the most important light novel franchise of this decade. Over 19 million copies have been sold worldwide as of 2016, 6.5 million of those in translation, making it one...
Wolf's Rain BD+DVD
anime
After well over a decade out of the limelight, does this notoriously ambitious fantasy classic still have some bite in it? Jacob Chapman weighs in on this critical darling from 2003.
― As Wolf's Rain finally arrives on Blu-ray at the respectable age of 14 (surviving a decade in anime fan memory is no small feat!), the series may stand out for a reputation that can only be called "emotionally paradoxi...
Rurouni Kenshin Part III: The Legend Ends BD+DVD
live-action
The final Kenshin film finds success in its terrific action, even if the trilogy is starting to look a little long in the tooth.
― Film trilogies are a tricky thing. It's relatively easy to make a single film with a coherent story - when a single work both introduces and concludes all of a story's narrative variables, you can create a sense of tight congruity throughout. But when a story is split acr...
Vice & Luna - 2/28/2017

Answerman - Is Subway Groping Really A Big Deal In Japan?
Sexual assault on subway cars is depicted in anime quite often (most recently in Scum's Wish) but how big a problem is it really in Japan? Justin explains.
― Strongman Lin asks: In a fair number of anime (e.g. Scum's Wish, Ore Monogatari), female characters get molested by creepers on the subway. Is this really such a prevalent problem in Japan? And if it is, in the instances of it that I've seen in...
Shelf Life - Mobile Suit Gundam F91
anime
This little-known Gundam movie has long been last to the sands of time, now available on Blu-ray for the first time. But is it any good? Gabriella Ekens finds out, plus all this week's new releases!
― I finally got started on my "watch popular anime that I skipped the first time around" New Year's resolution this week. Since the second season of Konosuba is airing now, it seemed like as good a time ...
GANTZ:O
anime
There may not be much to the story, but the sharp CG more than makes the experience in this Gantz splatterfest. Theron Martin digs deeper.
― The Gantz franchise has gone through three iterations over the past 17 years: manga, anime series, and a pair of live-action movies. Now its fourth version comes in a 3D CG movie from 2016, which has recently become available on Netflix. But this isn't any garde...
My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World Novel 1
novels
This wide-ranging parody of chuunibyou tropes pushes the envelope in some eyebrow-raising ways, but it's still bound to offer otaku fans a fun read.
― Whether you have a weird sibling or are the weird sibling, families often have dynamics that can feel odd to an outside perspective. In the case of Yuichi Sakaki's family in My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World, his older sister Mutsuko suffers from ...
