Samurai Harem

Posted on January 5, 2014May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

The title of this anime pretty much explains the show. As anime goes, Samurai Harem is junk food. It isn’t very filling and actually doesn’t taste all that great, but I watched it anyway. Samurai Harem starts with Yoichi Karasuma being sent out of the mountains by his father to train at a dojo owned…

Kaze no Stigma

Posted on September 1, 2013May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

Mafias of magic users? Sounds like a war waiting to happen…only it wasn’t. Kaze no Stigma (Stigma of the Wind) is an alright anime. Kazuma Kannagi was a useless heir to the fire family considering he, well, couldn’t use fire magic.  He left the family be become a Contractor, a person who makes a contract…

Posted on June 8, 2013May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

Like many of Bones’ works, Blast of Tempest has an odd story but interesting characters. Blast of Tempest is set in our world with a twist. A select tribe of people known as the Kusaribe clan have access to magic through an entity called the Tree of Genesis. Enter Mahiro Fuwa and his friend Yoshino…

Burst Angel

Posted on May 26, 2013May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

Burst Angel is one of those anime’s that I fizzled out on more than halfway through. I considered pushing to the end, but the show just doesn’t appeal to me. The anime is set in the near future and follows a group of female miscreants as they fight against mutated human monsters that cause havok…
