I laughed, I really did, reading how DM misleads the reader with screencaps of Ayato in ambiguous positions. Although, perhaps he doesn't. Some said before that the whole story is about Ayato killing off members of his harem one by one. Now that's misleading.
RahXephon is like a work of …read more
And you thought only the election campaigns in America started eariler all the time. Metahorn opens the season of meaningless previews, with a twist: the paginated format permits to segregate a useful list of OVAs, usually ignored by previewers. New Negima, oh my. Also, does not "15 Bishoujo Hyouryuuki" sound …
read moreI clenched my teeth to complete the episode. Did I just say that animation in Tayutama was sketchy? Now I'm sorry about it. This is sketchy.
But a bigger issue is the stupidity of the protagonist. SDB mentioned recently somewhere (possibly in someone's else comments and in a different context …

read moreIs it all right to, in some sense, trick people into reading your book or watching your show? Is it simply a case that if you told most people that Saiunkoku was like, political shoujo, that it would turn most people away?
Apropos that, a few bloggers I …
read moreSo, the first thing I read in the morning is Beta-Waffle and today DiGi refers to Hinano excercising with our favourite punching bag (need Training with Hinano video).
I don't know what brought about the latest round. Scott was mostly keeping a low, unoffensive profile recently... Maybe I'm just desensitized …
read moreBeatiful art and animation, solid story.
Amusingly, the only seyuu I recognize is Eri Sendai, plaing the little tea-bussing girl: I know her for the main role in Rocket Girls.
I wanted something like 12k, only not cut into pieces. Moribito would be ideal, it if were available. So far …
