Where’s Gregory House when you need him, dammit? Seriously, what Another makes me want to do is get out the big white board and do a differential – except you need someone as smart as he is for that to really work. But I still think a “House” approach might […] Read more
A little something to get you in the mood for season 2. Read more
There’s really not all that much to say about chapter 21, except that it was pretty much over the top kawaii overload for 47 pages. The two brothers drafted into being the future husbands on the twins from hell, Layla and Leyli, actually have names – Sahman and Farsahmi. Sahm […] Read more
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 21 The dynamic of AGE is definitely more interesting in this second round, with the added elements of the father-son relationship and the enemy now having names and faces – not to mention the hints that Romary (who should be Asemu’s future girl by the […] Read more
Well, I guess those rumors that Madhouse would be toning down that side of Hisoka’s personality can be put to rest… It’s great to have H x H back after a hiatus week – it’s so unlike anything else in my blogging rotation that I really missed having it around. […] Read more

As much as I love Otoyomegatari, I think it represents one of the real problems of a monthly manga. I enjoy the new characters Mori Kaoru continues to introduce to this story, and Laila and Leyli are certainly a hoot. But when we get to see these characters so rarely, […] Read more
Only one more ep till Haruka. Only one more ep till Haruka… I’ll be brief – I tried, but Sae-chan isn’t for me. I don’t like Konno Hirmoi’s baby doll performance, I don’t like Nakato Jouji’s fairy tale narration, and I don’t like Junichi when he’s with her. Plus, I […] Read more
