nobahn's Anime

• Psychological depth.
• I always admire internal monologues.

• Animation has not aged well.
• How does the detective not notice the flying bat???!!!
• Maybe it's just me, but a detective just would not act that way. Also, what's with the miniskirt?

• CON: Zwei improbably survives being shot.
• PRO: Deaths prior to ep.#20 are compelling.
• CON: Episode #20 ("Homeland") is just so implausible.
  I have three episodes left and all of the episodes from episode #20 break the required suspension of disbelief. The final three will have to somehow knock it out of the ballpark, and right now I'm doubtful that they can.....
• PRO: KOKIA OP & ED (and the OST as well.....)
  It's a bad sign when (3 episodes away from finishing) the OST & KOKIA's OP/ED are the highlights of the series.....
• CON: The series is a goddamned commercial for the source material! (In this case a visual novel.)

Also, check out the ED & OST!

Ep.#5 ("Is It True That You're a Big Sister?") is remarkably humorous. So is ep.#7 ("Is It True About the Boy at the Pool?")! And ep.#8 ("Is It True You Have Horrible Bed-head?"). And ep.#11 ("Is It True That Butts Are Culture?").

What, you made it to the end of this and thought you earned reprieve? Remember the start of this, where I likened Sailor Moon to a personal moralistic figure that greatly informed my identity? I guess we have to talk about that a little to put this into perspective. Long-time readers (and haters) probably know me best for writing a piece about Vic Mignogna, which was later entered into court evidence during his failed lawsuit a few years back. While that report was an arduous task, it isn't the only one I've written. I actually spent a large amount of time immediately after it looking into an alleged rape by voice actor Todd Haberkorn.

To describe it shortly, an alleged victim made public allegations of a sexual assault at Anime Central that happened nearly a decade ago. They did not name their alleged assailant. However, Todd Haberkorn outed himself as the alleged perpetrator on Facebook, denied the allegations claiming both parties were drunk, and posited that the alleged victim was lying because they contacted him afterwards looking for a romantic relationship. By the end of my process of preparing the article, I'd spoken to everyone who was at the table with Haberkorn and the alleged victim that night, knew the name of the bartender that likely overserved the green room attendees, and tracked down copies of programming guides to know who was in charge of the party at ACEN that year. In the meantime, Haberkorn had removed his posts, lawyered up with the same guy that represented Mignogna, and sent out the usual cease and desist letters. The alleged victim backed out and the story died. It happens, but not before I received one of the most insulting e-mails in my entire professional career.

But there's an inconsistency in the internal story structure.....
