1. Metanorn on Summer of 2012

    Finding the right link was not easy on the lead page, but we have a shortcut. It opens with some lighthearted humor:

    I’ll start with my obligatory remark asking why the studio is called Arms when their specialty is boobs.

    Odd hate of DD2 follows though. Those people sure …

  2. Stilts on Natsuiro Kiseki

    Writing under the RC banner, Stilts comes with the following finale summary:

    There was some delightful yuri shipping

    Ouch... Still, they said that about Azumanga, too.

    The storytelling was uneven, especially early on – we went from friends (who we hadn’t come to like yet) going at each other’s …

  6. Nobar on Kokoro Connect

    He gives it a trashing:

    As far as the looks go, Kokoro Connect is like Mexican KyoAni. The character designs reek of the K-ON!-school of animation, but the quality is anything but. Body proportions are botched, and fluidity is nowhere to be seen. The background art and music both …

  7. Sketchbook ends

    The last failed restart of Sketchbook was almost 4 years ago, but suddenly I finished it, thanks to the air travel. Its nature lends itself well to drone out the liberal propaganda being spewed by airport TVs. It is otherwise unbearable, even for an iyashikei, but luckily I had a …
