My Love For You is Like a Truck

If you want to know more, you’ll have to read the manga!

Berserk is yet another one of those series that I’ve come to appreciate more upon later viewings.  Just as with Dirty Pair and Deep Space Nine, the first time I watched it, I just couldn’t really get into it all that much.  I suppose I could blame the obsessive yaoi fans ruining it for me, but really I’d say it had more to do with me not enjoying hack-n-slash all that much.  On repeat viewing, though, I’ve come to appreciate this show for the over-the-top action, and its story about love, loyalty, betrayal, and rape.  Also there’s plenty of joke fodder if you’re into giving anime the MST3K treatment like my friends and I are.

Anime clichés get smacked by reality in Daily Lives of High School Boys

High school girls in Japan live the life. Before them stretches a vast array of possibilities: They could be magical girls saving the world from evil, having other-worldly adventures surrounded by the most beautiful men in the universe, or even just starting a band and having a great time with their friends.

Their official team name is Lovely Angels, but as the title informs us, they’re better known by another name, much to their annoyance. This is essentially a buddy cop show, except this one is set in the 22nd century, with humanity having colonized much of the galaxy.

TREE-t yourself to some WTF

I’ve watched Dead Leaves 4.67 times, and you know what, I still don’t know what the hell’s going on. Allegedly, the plot revolves around the main characters, Pandy, who has a large red panda-like marking over right eye, and Retro who has a CRT television for a head, whose quest in the 52 minutes of this in-yo-face wild ride of an animu is to find out who they are after mysteriously waking up naked in the outskirts of the city. In order to do this, they have to explode quite a lot of things, get arrested and then find the answers to their questions on their moon prison.
