With the Eva streak happily over, The Pink Sylphide turns towards Druaga, The Tower Of. The entry lacks screencaps, but it should be easy to fix...
The more lines Ahmey speaks, the better she’s revealed to be as a character. She’s the experienced one, even if she’s …read more
Even more awesome... to balance the badassery... this red headed Annie Oakley of a dark tomorrow seems level headed, smart and... shockingly... out and out pleasant!!
I don't know who Annie Oakley is, but I laughed.
UPDATE: Chizumatic provides the necessary information about Annie Oakley.
read moreFor an anime I'm supposedly dropping, I pay too much attention to Strike Witches. I'm not alone though. Whatever the fetish is, something caught a few imaginations in it. Check out the picture:
Google was unable to crack the "luftsieg", which I take a sign of being written in Gelman …
