We simply don’t find a lot of the same things funny as the Japanese do. Of course, I’m largely to blame for that, as are all of us. How much better can it possibly get? I’ve mentioned this before, but as much as I love anime, I feel that it doesn’t do much for me when it comes to comedy. I could see this show doing well had it been licensed, much like Champloo, it would benefit from having an english dub. It’s a shame this show doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. In fact, Michiko to Hatchin definitely has that Champloo vibe outlaws traveling together getting themselves into trouble. Samurai Champloo and House of Five Leaves are definitely their highlights. I’m always looking forward to the work Studio Manglobe puts out, despite their success rate for shows being only around 50%. While I think the correct categorization is somewhere in the middle, I think we can all agree that Michiko to Hatchin is damn good action packed entertainment. Michiko to HatchinĪniDB lists this show as seinen while MAL lists this show as josei. Also, gerwalk mode VF-25 has got to be the coolest looking thing ever. Despite Ichiro Itano not being on the production team, the battle scenes are still action packed and fast paced. Once again, the love triangle is present. Shoji Kawamori is once again, director and mecha designer. It has been described as a modern take on the original Macross story. Once you get past the uncomfortable CG animation, the show becomes quite enjoyable. Then we have Macross II, Macross 7, and Macross Zero, which in my opinion, greatly brought down the franchise during its later years.

SDF is still one of the favorite series of all time. A franchise, which throughout the years, has seen its fair share of glory as well as disappointment. Here we have the next installment in the Macross franchise. As great a show as any to introduce one to the mind of Masaaki Yuasa.
This is a show that I hope everyone checks out as it is short, sweet, and simply a great introspective look at the human condition. I’m speaking of such titles as Last Exile, Berserk, and now Kaiba as well. I simply adore shows that take the time to construct an intricate world that actually works within the context of the show. Perhaps the thing that Kaiba does best is world building. By the end of the show, I really cared about these odd looking characters way more than I cared about say the average moe girl. Personally, I found Kaiba VERY enjoyable.ĭespite the very stylistic and polarizing character designs, the show manages to really capture a wide variety of emotions. What it all boils down to is this: the difference between good and bad when it comes to these so-called “experimental works” is whether the viewer finds them enjoyable or not. While I can understand those claims to an extent, for me, it really comes down to enjoyment. Leading the pack is Masaaki Yuasa’s Kaiba, a show that is, by far, my favorite from the year 2008. It’s been criticized for its relative obscurity and its supposed pretentious imagery. Yet amidst the looming surge of decadence, several titles managed to stay true to the age old ethics of “doing things right.” Without further ado, I present The Best of the Year 2008. As such 2008 captured the waning moments of glory before the anime ship started to sink, simply unable to carry the burden caused by the moe stigma. The popular shows were no longer considered good, while a surge of productions geared solely towards niche audiences began to make their appearances more frequently. Following one of the better years of the decade, 2008 was a year of contrasting feelings.
