Nozomi Cover Art – Dirty Pair OAV Series

Following on from my earlier review of the Dirty Pair TV series, how did the later, flashier[1], OAV series stack up to my expectations?

And what were those expectations since, again, I don’t think I’d seen all of them before the Nozomi remastered release?

The World is Still Beautiful (2014) with minor spoilers

The World is Still Beautiful[1] is one change away from being awesome. It is definitely worth watching, but that one issue may shatter the suspension of disbelief for some viewers.

The Premise

Much of the world has been forcibly united by the Sun Kingdom. For the Dukedom of Rain the price of not being conquered is to provide the Sun King Livius with a wife.

Nike Remercier is the fourth princess of the Dukedom of Rain, holds the power to sing for rain, and is the one who loses the rock-paper-scissors match with her sisters.

Nobunagun (2014) and the risk of weak first episodes (some spoilers)

(And Sio really does grin like that in combat…)

First episodes are often key to whether I will continue watching an anime ^[1]. In the case of Nobunagun the first episode was just good enough to get me to the second episode.

Wow.

Barring a rapid decline, I will now be following Nobunagun to the end of the season.

Artemis over at Otaku Lounge ^[1] had some really nice things to say about me when she included me in her list of Liebster award nominees.

I’m taking this as a chance to shine a light on some blogs that need more attention.

Just before 2013 begins I thought I’d list, and snark, about the most popular posts on Pirates of the Burley Griffin in 2012. This is going to be limited to posts with at least 200 hits in 2012 ^[1].
