1. J.P.Hinano on Nogizaka 2

    An item from Autumn preview:

    [Hinano's thoughts:] Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 2 – Loved the first one, will watch this one for sure. Let’s just hope we don’t have cockblocking eels this time

  2. Google on Sankaku Complex

    Google selected the Sankaku Complex story to lead the report on the election results in Japan (see screenshot) -- in fact, to lead any blog reports period.

  3. Evirus on Taishou Yakyuu Musume

    About halfway through the season, he says that "Taisho Yakyuu Musume is the best new show airing during the Summer 2009 season" [Emphasis mine — Author]. I just knew it. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for this kind of thing... For example, I'm building a storage cloud in my study …

    Please stop using the permalink-free mechanism for sharing and throw the links somepleace which I can refer to give you a credit. Why should I give the Google juice that you deserve to Google itself?

    Today I appreciate the links to the key part of Naruto 64 (which I blogged …

  8. Honey and Clover S1

    Seen the first half of Honey and Clover at Hulu. The biggest impression is, Hulu sucks enormously. You can tell that it's made by incumbents. Firstly, what the heck is with only having the first half? It makes even less sense than posting the first half of Vandread. Secondly, pausing …
