I’ll be honest. If it weren’t for the fact that this is a Blood series, and Production I.G., and Mizushima-sensei, and the reader’s #1 choice in the Summer poll on this site, I think there’s a pretty good chance I’d drop if after the second episode. Frankly, there just isn’t […] Read more
Simplicity is certainly the watchword of the day with this series after two episodes. But sometimes simplicity is a very underrated quality, in anime as elsewhere. I think it would take a fairly hard heart not to feel some sort of emotional connection to what takes place in Usagi Drop […] Read more

Natsume and his boss aloha shirt are over in my blog post over at RC – check it out if this show is on your list (and really, if it isn’t it should be!) Read more
Ganbare, Yune – don’t lose to cheese! I’m completely smitten with this adaptation after two episodes, but I could totally see where not everyone would feel the same way.
