as a side note tokyo esp and ga.rei zero are by the same author. more specifically, the magnas in which both animes are based off are by teh same mangak, tho ga-rei zero is a prequel to the actual manga and better than it.

So, anyone who has seen No-Rin have any opinions on it? I'm actually curious, to be honest. The premise sounds like it has potential to be a pretty nice character piece.

It's an average comedy, forgettable to the point that you don't remember anything about it after 2 weeks.

The show's okay, but the dub is a homerun with it's insult comedy, it's not afraid to curse and go the extra mile for a joke, I'm on episode eight and I've heard a few words i would not say in front of my mother, including but not limited to " A**Hole, Wh**re, Slut, and other what not."

Also i just heard the line "Miso Horny." and I laughed. Tai Ballard crushes it as the teacher.

Fine show but this might actually be one of the best dubs recent memory.

I would love to show my shelves but unfortunately I don't have any space so I have most of my anime, manga, video games, and live action movies and tv shows in several huge 40 gallon storage tubs in the garage. I have no place to put them and show them off. I'll send them into Shelf Life one of these days Very Happy

@FackuIkari and Snakebit1995

Thanks for the help! It sounds like I might have to give it an episode or two when I'm bored.


@XChampion

If I may ask an arguably practical question here, is the main character's posterior depicted in the top-right corner of the preview image?

^No, I'm seeing a wide view shot in it, and that's his left arm there, I presume.

Anyways, lately, these shelf life reviews seem to be 1 title each week, and not 2 or more than they used to, I hope more like that returns someday, also, nice shelves, titles, and signatures, lol. X3

Everything I know about Space Adventure Cobra, I learned from the infamous MST3K-style riff of the Sega CD game. It's nice to hear that the movie is just as ridiculous as the game.

I'd recommend episode 6, there a It was Me Dio joke as well as a Lon winded schtick about "Yogurt Bukake."
