1. Sixten enters the Toradora bandwagon

    He had a seat reserved, apparently. I would not say that Sixten gloats, but let's just say — he quotes his own prediction:

    [] it might be Index or it might be Toradora, but I have a feeling that a new J.C.Staff classic will emerge this fall. It’s not …

  2. OGT on Toradora

    There's an editorial up at the other blog with bakuhatsu in the title, which lays down the now conventional vision for Toradora (with spoilers): Ryujii is awesome, Taiga is not annoying, and the two are designed and/or destined to be together. But I just have to ask, where is …

  3. Toradora 07

    Now that I've seen it, I looked through the usual episodic posts on 07 by the three BRW musketeers (Kuro, Aroduc, and Totali), and also Omni and oddly circumspect Hanners. It's pretty much what you'd expect... Kuro is lazy "blogging smart" and brief, Aroduc works hard on his grumpy jokes …

  4. Field guide for Sumire and Ami

    Although Evirus mentioned it off-hand, the problem was quite serious for me: at first glance, Ami and Sumire look exactly the same. All the usual clues, such as the shape of the eye, eyebrows, general hair style, and eye color, look the same. Still, it's easy to tell them apart …

  5. Haibane Lifestyle Diary

    The discussion in The Pink Sylphide's comments reminded me to buy 灰羽せいかつ日誌 (haibane seikatsu nisshi), and it arrived a few minutes back.

    It's the Japanese magic of used books in excellent condition.

    QUICK UPDATE: Regarding the p.34, I think that the bra …

  6. Kaedrin on Hellsing

    I've already given up on Mark to produce another anime review, but what do you know, he's seen Hellsing. The executive summary is: "Overall, I enjoyed the series. Though I would have preferred a little more depth, they made up for it with lots of neat battle sequences and a …

  7. Evirus calls for Sheryl

    Oh Evirus, you card, I laughed today:

    I remember Sharon Apple being cold, distant, and artificial. (Well, yeah.)

    Good one!

    Also:

    Ranka’s popularity? Bah. I blame hippie moe politics. Final tally: Sheryl > Clan Clang > Clan Clang > Grace > Nanase > Ranka. And I’m not just saying that because of Sheryl …

  8. Jonathan Tappan on Marimite S1

    Well, he said it:

    Maria Watches Over Us strikes me as social satire. We have here a story about privileged young ladies who spend their time worrying themselves sick over problems that could not be more inconsequential. Furthermore they all act sort of gay. []

    So true. Although, as for the …

  9. Toradora 02-05

    The unexpected ascent of Toradora is not very easy to explain... After using the cute trick of having uninvolved leads, the remainder was somewhat formulaic. That is, until Ami was trotted on the scene five episodes down. I have no idea where the creators are going to take the show …
