Attack on Titan and Oreimo were honestly tied for me, but I had to choose one. They’re two completely different shows and fulfill different parts of my anime nutritional needs. That said, Titan had the bigger WTF factor by introducing the Titan Killing Titan (it’s probably Eren, guys). Still, Kyosuke in Oriemo was hilarious, what with his very realistic concerns as a new boyfriend. When is the best time to touch a girl’s boobs? I don’t know, Kyosuke. Just don’t get arrested on molestation charges for being too eager…

Last week’s results about the Anime Power Rankings

 

Railgun S continues to push Misaka’s backstory related to all the clones, but this week was extra special with Accelerator returning to screw things up for Misaka’s clones! Which means you know who is probab;y going to also appear very soon to punch people in the face after giving a speech about how killing people is bad bro so you should stop at once or something like that…

Foshizzel (Metanorn)

The 5th episode of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun jumps to the top of the Anime Power Rankings this week behind a glorious episode full of what makes the franchise great. We had Misaka faces, world building, and (most importantly) Accelerator. The fact that the show is springing forth into the Sisters arc is an acceptable trade-off to the lack of Kuroko.

You know what? Attack on Titan has a really odd pace. From one action-centric episode we go to one with a flashback, completely leaving behind the awesome feeling. Heck, whatever happened with the Titans this week? Did they go on a vacation or something?

Friday Anime Podcast 34: My Hentai Prince SNAFU

Posted by Aeroblip under Anime, Podcast
[4] Comments

This week, we are joined by lvlin(Metanorn) and kaidian kenyaboi (Nihon Review)

We dive deep into two overlooked, under-appreciated shows this season. We first discuss the cute, romantic-comedy from J.C. Staff Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko and debate about the current direction of the show. In addition, we constantly praise my favorite of the season: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru by Brains Base.
Of course, we give our thoughts on a bunch of other shows in this stacked season we call Spring 2013.

AIURA: The Charm of the 5 Minute Anime

Posted by kevo' under Anime
[4] Comments

AIURA is my favorite show to watch this season. It’s not the funniest, nor the most engaging, nor the show I look forward to the most; I just have a really good time when the episode is going.

You see, reader, AIURA is 5 minutes long. The opening and ending are a minute each, giving each episode exactly three minutes of content? What can you accomplish in 180 seconds? Not much, but AIURA neatly fits a small round peg into a small round hole. The 4koma format really fits the slice of life genre well, and the structure translates well into the anime. Each episode is little more than two or three scenes total. There are no punchlines; AIURA merely exists, and ends before you really get a chance to take it all in. (more…)

Up to 5% of European Union Beef Products Contains Ground MISAKA Meat

Posted by Anime Headlines under Anime, Extra! Extra!
[3] Comments

In addition to regular editorial content, we at Desu ex Machina also strive to bring our readers them most up-to-date and quality news stories from around the world of anime. Please check back weekly for the latest news in our special segment: Extra! Extra!. 


LONDON — Two months after tainted hamburger meat was discovered by Food Safety Authority of Ireland, Europe-wide tests of beef products have found that nearly 5% of samples contained MISAKA DNA. This DNA originates from Tokiwadai Middle School student Misaka Mikoto, whose genetic code was used for the Radio Noise Project. Scientists have found 200 positive samples in approximately 5,000 tested.

The findings shed light into the complex and often convoluted supply chains involved in European meat distribution. The MISAKA meat originates from Higuchi Pharmacology in Academy City, Japan as part of the Level 6 Shift project. The corpses were sent to a disposal facility in western Tokyo, which shipped the meat to a rendering plant in Romania. At various points, the meat moves through warehouses in Germany, Greece, Slovenia, and Italy, owned by different firms and processing plants. In positive samples, “beef” hamburger patties ranged from 2% to 100% MISAKA meat. (more…)

Last week’s results about the Anime Power Rankings

Basically the opposite of last week’s shitfest. Wow. Attack on Titan brought the intensity this week with the battle against the Titans and lots of ridiculous sequences of soldiers swinging around. More of this, please. Maou-sama was lots of fun, with an entertaining battle and self-awareness that’s amusing but not smug. Valvrave is fucking ridiculous, as usual. Dokidoki! Precure has Alice unleashing her martial arts skills again. Aku no Hana has Nakamura making Kasuga’s life miserable.

Truly a wonderful week for anime.

Shinmaru (The Cart Driver)

After Chihayafuru came out of its recap episode, the show returns seamlessly to its former glory, topping out to 4th place in this week’s Anime Power Rankings. I was really impressed with Hataraku Maou-sama! this week. I have some doubts if the show should be going this direction, but I enjoyed the Scary Movie-esque satire of fantasy action anime that Hataraku Maou-sama! relies on to keep the show watchable. As long as we get more of Chiho’s succulent loli curves and Emi’s delish legs, this show will do just fine. (more…)

Last week’s results about the Anime Power Rankings

Yuyushiki is unquestionably this season’s best show. I completely doubt the taste of anyone who thinks otherwise. Anyone who says Titan or Gargantia is really suppressing their real desire to vote for Yuyushiki. It’s okay people, you can vote for it safely. Don’t be afraid of voting how you really feel.

Emperor J (Lower Mid-Table)

Yuyushiki makes it’s first appearance on the APR top 5 this week. It’s interesting to see a show like Yuyushiki make it’s way into the APR, even if it just barely makes it to the number five spot. If the show is able to make another appearance in the APR top 5 then I may be inclined to pick the show back up even though I couldn’t bring myself to finish the first episode. Something about the character design and the bland humor of episode 1 turned me off of the show. But apparently there is some quality to Yuyushiki if it’s able to land a spot at number 5. Maybe I was too quick to judge. (more…)

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai 2 — Episode 4

I bet the rest of you are just KILLING THE INDUSTRY by STEALING

Pop quiz: this episode of Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai 2 was good because

a) No Kuroneko

b) All of the above

 

Kuroneko fans’ faces when they realize their character is trash

Kyousuke summed up the key point of this episode well: it’s refreshing to see Kirino acting like a big sister. She does it the way she’s used to doing it: by getting assmad at every situation that Kyousuke has the bad luck of getting into. I think the reason I like Kirino and Ayase is because I find it hilarious when they raise their voices and get mad. It’s almost comical. (more…)
