Clusters are named appropriately, for example Hartmann and Barkhorn are named "つよい", or "[the] strong". I would say that "えらい" above the leaders may be translated as ... http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/24/vision-of-pierrine/ Bugfox makes me laugh. Shinkurou Kurenai is an atypical sixteen-year-old. An orphan (his parents were killed by terrorists) he lives alone in a tiny, unkempt apartment. By day he attends high school. By night he has a part-time job as a “dispute mediator.” “Dispute mediation” seems to involve using his martial arts ... http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/24/jonathan-tappan-on-kure-nai/ I've seen it, but it didn't seem very interesting. Just go visit Chizumatic if you care about episodic blogging. http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/24/strike-witches-04-or-not/ Random episode selection method did not help Macross F, the story did not pull me in. The acclaimed meeting with Klein was a very small part of the episode. The art and animation made a big impression on me. I did not like all parts, but it sure looked like the ... http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/23/macross-frontier-05/ I think Hung's idea of considering blog posts as votes is basically solid, but he really needs a wider data field. Macross F may deserve the top spot, but 30 enties is not much. Ani-nouto alone has 33 for ef and 32 for Lucky Star. http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/23/im-in-ur-feed-corrupting-ur-data/ Kawaii Menace: It doesn’t help that the token meganekko is a snotty French twit. Don cracks me up. http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/23/don-on-strike-witches/ So, about the decision promised three days ago? I'm going to weasel out by suspending the show. But in reality, it's more like "suspending" Crescent Love. Even though I finished 9.5 episodes out of 13, I do not expect to return. Reasons are several, but the main ones are: Nanaka is ... http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/23/myselfyourself-gets-suspended/ The advent of the Strike Witches TV prompted bloggers to revisit the OVA. Some were less successful, others more so. TheBigN provides the most sensible explanation of the OVA in rational language, without appealing to the Harley Defense ("If you have to ask, you will never understand"): Looking back at ... http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/23/thebign-on-strike-witches-ova/ In an attempt to harmonize wildly disparate tastes, we watched Mushishi in dub. Most boring anime ever. [With apologies to J.P. Meyer.] http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/23/what-i-had-to-watch-this-week/ I'm off to Taos for a romantic retreat. The fate of Myself;Yourself will hang in the balance for three days. http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/07/20/blogging-break/
