This episode highlighted some elements of Ranma ½ that are not my favorites. And which are going to be more prominent going forward, to be honest. I like Shampoo – she’s funny, and Sakuma Rei was an is a very good comic actress. But I don’t love her as much as most fans seem to, …
Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite (Orb: On the Movements of the Earth) – 12
As always, I think it’s important to draw a distinction about just what Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite is and is not. Certainly there was a moment here when I felt a degree of realism was falling away. Yet it was also that moment that serves as one of the dramatic highlights of anime …
Ooi! Tonbo 2nd Season – 11

Jiji is a first-class oddball to say the least, and thus he fits right in. But we haven’t even seen the half …
