Reviewing Anime
Not So Amazing, But Not Trash Either There was something fairly intriguing about the premise of Amazing Stranger (of Chou Kadou Girl 1/6) as an anime figure who still has full use of all of her weapons and skills from her story coming to life in the modern world could have been really interesting. Particularly … Continue reading Amazing Stranger Anime Review
The Perfectly Silly Conclusion To A Silly Story Amazing Stranger Episode 12 Okay, there was a point to showing us how the anime ended last week and they did actually use that to bring us a fairly interesting conclusion to the story of the moving figurines. It wasn’t amazing and like everything else in this … Continue reading Amazing Stranger Review Episode 12
Empty Revelations Amazing Stranger Episode 11 Oh look, we get to see how Nona’s anime ends. And… I’m not sure what we’re supposed to get out of this episode. We watch the episode where Nona meets the Nona from another dimension and the two play a bunch of games before they pretty much accept mutual … Continue reading Amazing Stranger Review Episode 11

They kept going with the plot set up last episode where Haruto was drawn into Bellnoa’s game and the two of them travel about before taking on a castle. Some fairly standard things happen (or … Continue reading Amazing Stranger Review Episodes 5 + 6
When sexy anime figures go to war? Episode 3 Okay, I’d be lying if I said this was a good episode. By itself it doesn’t do much with just two skits. The first being Bouida’s sister interviewing Nona and the second involving Bouida going out to Christmas dinner with an old friend and getting into … Continue reading Amazing Stranger Review Episodes 3 + 4

Then given how many minutes of the twelve minute episode here are devoted to him feeling up his ‘doll’ which … Continue reading Amazing Stranger Review Episodes 1 + 2
