Yakumo of Psychic Detective Yakumo can see dead people. It’s also trite, lazy and stupid. Some disjointed observations after the jump.

Aimless Moritaka Mashiro used to dream of being a mangaka but never since his uncle’s failure to achieve the same dream. Even so, Mashiro doodles from time to time, which catches the eye of Akito Takagi. One unbelievable event after another and Moritaka is not only committed to becoming a mangaka within approx. twenty short minutes of the first episode, but his love life depends on it.
Kuragehime & Iron Man
I… I liked the first episode. It was a light and breezy, sort-of-fun retread of nerddom. Hey, look how wacky it is when a bunch of nerds spend a lot of time together!
Just when I thought I was out…
…anime pulls me back in. Wait, no, it doesn’t. Here are several “synopses” for the following anime season.
The ‘Fractale System’ is on the brink of collapse. A boy named Kurain embarks on a journey to search for Furyune–a girl who disappeared, leaving behind only a pendant. Kurain will eventually learn the secrets of the ‘system.’
That is brilliant. It is absolutely stunning in its inability to tell me anything. It’s just a string of sentences.
lol check it out there’s a guy… a girl… and a pendant lol whatever watch if you want idc
10 years ago, Yumeji Hujuwara noticed he had a power to see multicolored auras surrounding a person’s body when he looks at them through his fingers. Every so often Yumeji has dreams about a war with cats. One day a girl falls on top of him.
Seriously?
Mahiro Yasaka is chased by aliens one night until Nyarlathotep saves him. “Nyariko” is a formless Cthulu deity who can take on the shape of anyone it wishes, but particularly the shape of a silver-haired girl.
hey guys check out my new anime where yog sothoth is an ordinary high school girl yuriko. she is a shy but typically normal girl except for one extraordinary ability: she can read other people’s kokoro. with her talking cat friend she solves mysteries with the power to drag the entire world into insanity and bring about the end times. one day a boy falls on her.
I’m out.
Amagami SS Ep. 2
I get a brief respite from exams and this is what I get: Junichi’s creepy pedo face.
So aw, it is Morishima’s arc after all. We are constantly told how popular and charming she is, but the anime never shows it. We never really understand everyone’s fascination with her (I actually think she’s kind of condescending and ditzy), especially Junichi’s. He doesn’t really know her, but gosh, she’s popular, pretty and it’s just “fun” when they hang out. Their brief moments together are so much fun actually that he had the guts to confess again. But when do they really hang out? When do they really get to know each other? All Junichi did this episode was run around like her lapdog as if that makes him boyfriend-worthy. Unsurprisingly, his goal is to just ingratiate himself upon Morishima to the point where she can’t ignore him anymore. It’s as if there’s some sort of affection gradient between them and if they spend enough time together, enough will leak out of him and into her.
The most interesting thing said all episode was a seemingly throwaway comment by Morishima: “I don’t think you have to be in a relationship to get along with others.” Can’t men and women just be friends? Judging by the developments of this episode, the anime’s position on this debate seems pretty obvious.
