This appears to be a critical time for AoEx. The series is doing very well in terms of ratings and BD/DVD sales, and the manga is selling well in the US. Yet the manga is nowhere near far enough along to support a second season of the anime. So which […] Read more
Click on Yune! Just a quick note to those of you have that might have hesitated to click on the screencaps and image links: after much digging I found a hack to offer popup (“popout”) images instead of having the images open a new tab or redirect in the same […] Read more
