1. Choux on Toradora 24

    Heavy spoilers to follow, I'm not even kidding.

    Toradora 24 makes a sudden turn as if specifically to address my previous objections. From petty and irrelevant things became significant and meaningful, when goings-on came to a head. I may write about it more when the series ends.

    Now I wish …

  2. Druaga:Sword 11

    Neeba was out of arrows just one episode ago and now he shoots Henaro (from a bow that he discarded god knows where). GONZO have completely lost their marbles. Just go bankrupt already and stop this embarrassement.

    UPDATE: Chris e-mails to point out that a) Neeba possibly only spent special …

  3. Hashi-hime on Spring 2009

    Published: Sat 21 March 2009

    In anime.

    Translations: en

    48 series. Quite a few catch the eye. The K-ON may be another Manabi (from Kyoto-Ani instead of UFOtable), Queen's Blade (another Sekirei, possibly), Natsu no Arashi may be something like a swapped Kurau, and more. In any other time I would be quite excited about such a full season …

  4. How Avatar perceives F/SN

    This is what a professional sees when watching DVDs:

    Went back to watch some Fate/Stay Night out of the box I'd picked up a while back, and... I'm kind of disappointed. Not in the show (seen it already), but in the subtitling job, or the authoring job, or both …

  5. Zyl on Toradora 19

    Regarding Minori's serendipitous arrival (heavy spoilers), I thought it was a coincidence too. I am not diligent with notes anymore, but a piece of paper in my recycling box contains: "19 0:18" (obviously incorrect offset), "Oh shit, it's Minorin taking her sweet time getting to the party" (meaning that …

  6. Choux on Toradora 16

    When I blogged Toradora 16, I managed to ignore what was presumably the main part. Here's how Calamitous Intent reports the impression:

    I can’t believe it, I actually had to pause the episode, run out of the room, and get tissues. The only other anime that actually got me …

  7. Yamcha on Toradora

    Wolf Hurricahe delivers another look, possibly contrarian:

    Drama has taken over the show recently, putting Toradora into a very uninteresting emo mode. The cast just isn’t dynamic or interesting enough to pull off convincing drama, which had made each recent episode a 24 minute grind to get through. To …

  8. 108

    I was wondering why there are 108 Sekirei(s). I asked Ana-sempai, and she said it had something to do with a Buddhist belief; there are 108 sins or other.

    Sekirei is not the only place where 108 pops up. For example, Yurie Hitotsubashi ranks 108 during her temporary transfer …

  9. Jaalin's riddle

    In his post on Nyoron Churuya-san 04, Jaalin riddles us with a screencap and tooltip "if you don't already recognize her, the voice will surely do it".

    The only thing that comes to mind is the snowbug from Aria, but, as far as I remember, it does not speak.

    I'm …
