Why did Kaede (Sakura) lose consciousness? Quoting Damien, fuushigi mystery. I suspect we just don't have enough material in the anime yet to form a good guess. {Update: Sage says she just fainted. On rewatch I concur, and think it was probably the shock from the hair and subsequently Natsuru …
SDB on Index
Actually the article at Chizumatic is more about Railgun than Index. In any case, spoilers are morbidly fascinating: tens of thousand murdered etc. Outside of spoilers:
Railgun's situation really is amazing. No wonder she's got a tortured soul.
Clearly an anime for fans of Nanoha. I'm quite happy I dropped …

I'm back from a club meeting, which would not be all that remarkable if Saturnine didn't share a whiny post on the topic, written by a guy with nickname suspiciously similar to his own.
I paid my $5 duties and received new and shiny membership card for the term, which …

The benevolent dictator of Meenuvia is also an anime fan, but unlike our own overlord Maestro, he finds time to blog about it (albeit infrequently).

Moogy on the 2009 Autumn halfway
Our master troller and famous editor of game translations continues to apply expletives better than Cunningham ever done. Agree or disagree, it's worth a smirk at least — when reading the whole thing. But I'm going to ruin the fun and rip quotes.

Moe Check on Kampfer 06
Damien Kellis hits bulls-eye with this question:
Why are most of the customers in the Maid-ish Cafe female? Fushigi mystery.
On second thought, Kampfer is so full of manifest impossibilities, that this one should count as something very minor.
Thanks to the opening and ending animations, the identity of this …
read moreThe master technique to watch Kimi ni Todoke
Starting with ep.2, every episode ends in a cliffhanger of sorts, which is extremely irritating for a supposed iyashikei. So, my answer is not to watch the last 2 minutes, but instead suspend the video. I resume it when next week's episode becomes available, thus negating the cliffie. Take …
read moreEnglish-only anime
DiGiKerot produced a long addendum for today's Unfunny, from which I understood one thing: someone is trying to sell a dub-only anime release in America, on BD no less. We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. And it's not all that unprecendented: dubbed anime was broadcast on …

I pirated the recently published album of Kampfer's ED remix, in secret, since I only do it for sampling purposes... It's not like I'm a fan enough to buy R2s. Oh wait, who am I kidding? Anyhow, a post at Transientem made me leave the closet because of the …

Received an odd present in the mail today: a poster of the notorious trap and his aunt {update: cousin actually}.
Apparently it's a centerfold from "Dengeki Maoh" vol 11 (November 2009).
