Bakemonogatari aside, the Studio Shaft has published few other very good series. This time I’m going to review Dance in the Vampire Bund and Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica).

Zettai Karen Children Review
This time I’m giving you my opinion on Zettai Karen Children. I’ll first review the Anime and continue with the manga (which continues the story). Due to the good sales of the OVA and the manga, a second season is expected to air sometime 2011/12, I’m looking forward to it.
Physics in Anime
Well while watching some animes, you might get confronted with certain physical theories. As examples: To Aru majutsu no Index series, Noein, Zegapain, Uchuu no Stellvia, Crest of the Stars and Planetes. There are many more animes, but those are the ones I remember.
A thought about Easter
Well, with the German Easter holidays approaching, I started to wonder why there never was an Easter special in the animes I saw (at least I don’t remember). There is a focus on every little day that I barely heard about (e.g. St. Whites day, St. Patricks Day) but I saw an anime covering Easter? Why could that be?
Red Garden Review
Recently, while thinking what anime I should watch next, I stumbled upon Red Garden. The anime revolves around 4 (5) girls, of different cliques in a New York private high school that only had minor contact with each other and one fical point: Lise, who died at the beginning by commiting suicide. These girls all encountered the same thing the day before: death. They all were given new bodies, borrowed lives, to fight monster at night. The clue is: Lise was abducted the same night and then found dead. The story itself resolves of the different troubles that arise from their despair. It all connects seamlessly to the grande finale.
A life without censorship
All of you know what censorship is. I’m not talking about the Hentai censorship, in particular, I mean Censorship in the greater picture, to either protect audiences or victims. Depending on where you live, you might think it’s unfair, or even believe that your media is not censored at all.
Bakemonogatari Review
This time, I will review one of my favourite animes: Bakemonogatari. The story revolves around Araragi, who was a Vampire. He attracts many oddities (things that are not how they should be), and due to his personality tries to help. Although I believe it to be one of the best animes I’ve ever seen, many people in my surroundings either dropped it or simply disliked it, due to the focus on dialogue, the expressionistic artwork and the focus on character development.
Pumpkin Scissors Review
Pumpkin Scissors starts off in a war torn pile of ruins, where an armistice between the empire and the republic is announced. Five days earlier the same happens at the graduation ceremony at an officer academy. The Pumpkin scissors is a military division of the information department that works on removing the aftermath of the war, meaning: rebuilding tunnels, do charity work and hunt down and observe rebels.
