Omo wrote that Wandaba "was like shock therapy: you hurt so bad that you come to like it out of psychological desperation" and "was the nightmare that spawned nightmares of Akira Kogami." Yet apparently it was re-released. Currently RACS sells both the old thinpack (limited to the stock on hand …

No matter how wrong previews get (I had high hopes for Hyakko one time, and dismissed Sekirei as a boob show on the other), they can always be made fun. Sadly, they not always are. But JP/Hinano's one is. BTW, I could not stand School Rumble either.
read moreWAH on Toradora and H+C
He says that one cannot compare Toradora and Honey and Clover, because... wait for it... they target different demographics.

I've never heard about CED until mentioned on Let's Anime. My first anime arrived on 16mm celluloid (24mm, and later 35mm in public). But D.Merryl clearly had my number with CED. Mechanically recorded video? In 1972? My father has built our first TV in 1975 (black and white, of …

After I have given up on ever seeing the Yasutaka Tsutsui's story, J.Greely sent me a pointer to a seller at Amazon, who's got it. There must be some lesson in it.
Strangely, it's easier to read than Joshikosei, Liftoff!, it being light novel and all. Go firgure.

Steven brings up his puzzlement regarding the way Strike Witches can be continued. Regarding that... I made this point in his comments before, but does anyone remember J2? It has a category at Ani-nouto, you know. J2 teaches us that an excuse is entirely unnecessary to create a superior sequel …
