Chihayafuru continues to surprise me, and this week was no exception. Life is a learning process, and it definitely looks like this adaptation is going to have a stop, rather than an ending. I’m a bit conflicted about the direction the series has taken the last couple of weeks, and […] Read more
I think I saw Tadakuni’s face on a milk carton when I opened the fridge this morning. I was interested to see that in a recent Danshi Koukousei character poll in Japan, Tadakuni placed 2nd (Karasawa was first), prompting a discussion of “pity votes” and such things. I’m no expert […] 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
Genjuro, you naughty boy – not only do you have a secret girl on the side, but she has her own apartment… The angst level has been turned way down the last couple of weeks on Senshogear, but I can’t help but think it’s all just setting us up for […] Read more
