For now at least, Space Brothers is all the way back, and it’s great to see. Episodes like this one are a reminder of why Uchuu Kyoudai has been one of the better anime of the last couple of years, and why Nanba Mutta has been one of the very […] Read more
What a fine bloody mess this is turning out to be. It’s a shame none of the central cast of WA2 has heard that old adage about ripping off the band-aid, because the longer this whole confrontation is deferred the worse the pain is going to be. I’ll give Kazusa […] Read more
They grow up so fast, don’t they? There may in fact be another significance to the name of this series and the titular gang at the heart of it, and while I certainly was suspicious of the significance of a a certain vehicle that’s cropped up as a motif a […] Read more
Rita was the first patron to commission a work, so Rita – here’s your haiku. Thanks again for your support. Rita requested any sports anime/manga as the theme, so I went global… “It’s All About the Pairings” Sports fans do exist, But if it’s sales you want Aim for fujoshi Read more

To sum up my feelings about Samumenco, I can do no better than the words of Crazy-Eyez Killa. OK, so if that was bad coke or some kind of dream sequence happening at the end of last week’s episode, this week gave no indication of it. If anything the weirdness […] Read more
Thursdays this season are one big challenge for me to put my money where my mouth is. A couple podcasts back the Random Curiosity gang and I played a round-table game I’d suggested, about what the one element was that tied all our favorite series together. It was an interesting […] Read more
