Breaking news – Chihaya actually has a Dad. And with that revelation comes the news – not so coincidentally – that someone in her family actually knows she exists. For my money Chihayafuru and Fate/Zero have been the most consistent new series of the Fall, by far. While it’s an […] Read more

Here I was thinking this was the finale of the first season of KtB, but they’re sneaking an extra ep in next week. As this is indeed finale week for Tamayura and Majikoi, Kimi to Boku gets its very own post – as there’s no dance partners for a digest… […] Read more
If poor Ika-chan were human, she’d probably have realized that no matter how nice Chizuru was being, it’s always time to run screaming when the closed-eyes character decides to open them… Three solid winners this week, though the first one had a bit much Sanae for my tastes. That was […] Read more
This episode of Mirai Nikki was a bit of a roller-coaster, quality-wise, but it was so exhilaratingly paced that I can overlook some of the deficiencies in deference to the sheer entertainment value. I’ll get the gripes out of the way first, and I do have a couple. The first […] Read more

Shounen Jump is finally asking the readers which “fictional” manga they’d like to see adapted. Could this be something more than an academic interest? Hmm… Though I suspect it has no chance, I voted for “Hideout Door”… Edit: The results are in. Hint: I was among the 2.8%… Read more
What Winter Series Are You Most Looking Forward To? No huge surprises here, as Another takes first place with Nisemonogatari second and Natsume 4 third. If anything I didn’t expect to see Mouretsu Pirates in last place. My pick for sleeper from this batch is Ano Natsu. Read more
It’s the “We Spent Too Much on All Those CGI Battle Scenes and the Creditors Are Still Out There” episode of “Fam” this week, so I’m not going to bore you with a long post. The only new footage is of Gisey writing a letter to her Dad – […] Read more
Hmmm… I gather from the buzz on the interwebs that Nurarihyon has decided to go with a manga “ending” for the season, rather than come up with a more conclusive anime-original ending. Of course we still have another episode to go next week, but it looks as if DEEN has […] Read more
