Who needs a brain to watch anime anyway? (Rio review)

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Ubu Roi

Ok, I was really bored, since we’re between seasons, and all that. But still, I can’t do it. I just can’t finish watching the first episode of Rio – Rainbow Gate. It’s not only mindbogglingly stupid, it takes itself seriously. … Continue reading →

….But I’m Too Blind

Posted on November 6, 2010 by Ubu Roi

Well, so much for that guess. The Tsundere Princess has gone dere-dere. Well, a couple of notes: Hammer Girl, a.k.a: Naoe Kanatsugu, the Warrior of Love, a.k.a. the purple-haired, twin-tailed girl, rivals ditz-form Jubei for stupidity. She’s sent by Sen’s … Continue reading →
