Shigofumi 10: Otaku Power!!!
In Japan, it is illegal for a full grown man to bring a loli walking around in public.
So much for posting every 3 episodes… Now I’m posting 3 times a day?? (Well it’s to make up for me disappearing for the next 4 days…)
It’s not been a good week for birds in anime…
But I couldn’t [...]

Yu(u)ki, Muon, Madobe Nite
I was about to edit my last post with “Oh noes, what have they done to Yuki’s character song???” after listening to the ‘new’ Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite here. But then I stumbled on the ‘full’ version of the gender-bended song… which thankfully sounds 10 times better than the first one *Phew*

March Madness Final 4: Kyoto GAINAX Kyoto Kyoto
.The March Madness Final Four include 3 series by Kyoto Animation – and Gurren Lagann. Possibly to prevent it being KyoAniVS KyoAni in the end, Jason decides to mix things up by having all four go against each other at once (vote for the 2 you like best!). So will it be Haruhi-Gurren Lagann? Haruhi-Fumoffu? [...]

Wouldn’t it be bothersome for [...]

Ookiku Furikabutte 26: Fanservice Extra???
The woes of the well-endowed women of baseball…
I managed to watch less than half of the chinese subs for this DVD only episode when it first came out (my combined Japanese and Chinese comprehension obviously being way below subpar). Seleria’s post on it gave the impression that the only thing worth watching in the episode [...]

March Madness: Elite 8 (Start!)
So yeah, Gurren Lagann, TSR, Haruhi and Mako-cakes all advance to the Elite 8. Not much in the way of surprises with all 4 creaming their competition (Goodbye Revy/Balalaika/Hansel & Gretel. With Black Lagoon out of the way, my own vested interests in this particular popularity contest has been severely reduced, but this far in [...]
