I am reading the RightStuf catalog, printed on paper.
The bad thing about it, there's no telling what's worth watching, so consumers have to go to the Internet anyway.

Ranting about Stellvia
This post spoils heavily.
But first, here's a tidbit from the review @Wolf Hurricane that prompted the present post:
In all of this, I would say the only real drawback is the male lead, Kouta Otoyama, who is honestly pretty boring - Shima and the others totally steal the show, although …

I have discovered yet another Lelangir's blog (is this some kind of a game he's playing with us?) (via saturnine on IRC). This one has a collection of reactions to Ami:

Speaking of tins, small ammo boxes are an awkward fit. I'm thinking about trying the next size …

A couple of notable bloggers were working through Haibane Renmei recently. Sixten is done and Chris Fritz is past ep.6. Chris in particular was good about documenting the story of discovery that we take together with Rakka. Now that's the episodic blogging!
Sixten's "Free Bird" feels strange. Obviously everyone …
