read moreHere is something that I did not see and understand until the last (aired) episode of Bakemonogatari smacked me in the nose with it: Bakemonogatari is really a love story. A romance, like Toradora.
And like Toradora, I think that it …
I received a tip from DiGikerot that Funimation acquired licenses to Sekirei and Birdy, as announced at their panel at AnimeUSA. There goes my "Funi only licenses shit" mantra. I realize that with the dominant position Funi enjoys, it was only a matter of time before they grabbed something decent …
read moreThe post focuses on the evocative backgrounds, but also mentions the characters. IMHO, the best thing about Oh Edo Rocket is the portrayal of the life in the long houses in general, and not specifically anime backgrounds or other technical components.

The sheet music is calling for me. My mother made me to play piano when I was little, and I hated it so much. So, maybe a guitar?
I think K-ON would probably be not half as good if topic were different. I'm not knocking GA:GADC here, but it …
read moreDo people in Real Life actually play that Pocky game? [...] For some reason Spin The Bottle is popular in fanfics, but I don't think I've seen an occasion in an anime itself.
I cannot vouch for Japanese, but American teens play all sorts of innuendo themed party …
