I’m beginning to think that honor has about the same currency in Fate/Zero as it does in Game of Thrones, and it will likely get you just about as far. There should certainly have been enough action to please any of the hardcore fans in this episode. It was pretty […] Read more
Inami hairclip meter this week: acorns, ship anchor, bunny (and one I didn’t recognize). Maya dialogue meter: zero again. Can we all chip in and send Kawase Akiko a check for rent money? This was easily the best episode of this season (just look at all the caps I took), […] Read more
What a pleasure it is to jump back inside the heartbreaking and beautiful world that is Hourou Musuko. It’s been better than six months since episodes 10 and 11 aired, and if you recall, 10 was a “compilation” of what was originally episodes 10 and 11. I’m still not sure […] Read more

The wait is finally over – Mashiro-Iro Symphony has turned into an adult VN adaptation at last. There’s a side of me that’s a bit sad to see anything conventional in this show, because cutting against the grain is so integral to it’s appeal. But we’re almost halfway through the […] Read more
Slice of life Tuesday Wednesday… Kimi to Boku – 06 This was definitely one of the more amusing eps of Kimi to Boku so far, maybe the best overall. It’s still ungodly slow, but the intermittent flare-ups of a welcome quirkiness to the humor were more evident this week. Starting […] Read more
