The New Game is a CGDCT, no more, no less. Only now the action is set not in a school club, but in a workplace. To keep the desired effect running, the show plays with the infantilism a bit, even up to office workers discussing if this or that coworker …

Today being Friday, I went to read the ch.155 and found it blocked from accesss through a website. Yep, it's time for pay our dues. Whiteout Scans have already posted a statement. The scanlators appear to be interested in continuing, but what am I to do if I want …
read moreInterviews With Monster Girls is actually
Demi-chan wa Kataritai anime? Why, I would've never guessed. From the headlines, I thought it was some kind of knock-off for Everyday Life With Monster Girls. The English title was apparently invented in the bowels of Kodansha.

Usagi Drop ends
Let's stick to basics in this one.

This recalls very much in my mind Yano's observation about …

The Behind of the Nihon Review posted a usual season summary, where a couple of grafs caught my eye. In particuar, the second opinion by a staff blogger Reckoner:

In other news, Twitter killed animeblogging and then suicided. GAB is far too politicized. I suppose I'll keep the GNU/Smug.loli thing going for now. It's not like I have many years left to play with it. At least that one provides an RSS feed.

With a heavy heart I am here to report that the word has come in, by way of Steven's brother and Brickmuppet. The final update to Chizumatic was on October 14.
Named after a character in Mahoromatic, Chizumatic was one of the oldest anime blogs. Its domain predated Ani-nouto by …
