1. 2012 Spring Season

    As usual, the new season rolls in while I have a backlog from seasons past. I have some high hopes for Chihayafuru and Ano Natsu (also known under its fanon title "Onegai Summer"). Also queued are the Tatsuo Sato's pirate show and Lagrange. Not to mention that I am still …

  2. Kill Me Baby ends

    And so ends the only show I followed in-season. It was... bad.

    I cannot explain. Maybe it was the false hope of 04. Or I wanted something to which to switch off. I saved 11 links to Ano Natsu reviews. People cared about it. But this one is the opposite …

  3. Oh you, GoodSmile

    There's a Yozora figurine for preorder at J-List, and here's what Peter blurbs for it:

    From the hit anime I Have Few Friends (aka Haganai) comes this superb figure of beautiful but socially inept heroine Yozora Mikazuki. The sharp-tongued Yozora is presented in her classic "arms-folded" pose, a delightfully sadistic …

  4. Wait, Kyouju does what?

    Seen at A+V today, by A_Libellule:

    Through a convenient twist we follow Kisaragi, effectively the main character, on a visit to Oomichi’s home. Here we find the traditional background one would expect of such a character, and an explanation of why she is not her usual self …

  5. The Naturally Main Character

    DiGi threw off a remark:

    I’ve not recently watched anything specific in the way of anime where the main character has found themselves somewhat usurped in terms of position, though I’m sure such things exist.

    Do they? Haibane Renmei contains a masterful misdirection in this regard and I …

  7. Hearth Fish Mystery

    Here's a couple of screencaps, featuring a common element, an implement shaped like a fish:

    I'm wondering what it is and how it works. Curiously enough, there were about four sets with a hearth in Moribito, and not one had anything like that.

    UPDATE: Aroduc told me that it's called …

  8. 2DT on the new HoiHoi-san

    2DT was spreading rumors on Twitter that a new anime adaptation of Hoi-Hoi-san is in production, no reference. I do not see anything at ANN or Wikipedia.

    UPDATE: J. writes that "the details only seem to be available in a clip that requires a premium membership to Nicovideo."

  9. First pass of Haganai Portable

    Finished an introductory pass through Haganai P, received the default end ("sisters battle").

    Overal impression is mostly positive. Story is not terribly dramatic, at least on the path that I hit, but it's all right.

    The plot graph is branchy like hell. I dread restaring and taking it seriously. The …
