There’s no question we’re being trolled a bit on the whole Gauche/Noir thing at this point. Not only do we not have an answer but based on the events of this week, we’re no closer to one. It all depends on how you interpret what happened on screen. The funny […] Read more
Looks like we’ve hit the reset button. Gauche is Noir again – or so it appears – and Lag and Sylvette are missing him and crying. This is a development that was certainly flagged in the previous episode, both by Dr. Thunderland’s comments and by the disappearance of “Gauche” at […] Read more
That episode may have set a Letter Bee record for tears – and that’s saying something. Not just Lag but Sylvette were a veritable fountain this week. I don’t be begrudge it, though – it’s been a long time coming and it’s well-earned. But this ep didn’t let us off […] Read more
After a week off, Letter Bee returns with a new episode that marks something of a sea change for the series. For me, this was quite different than any other episode of either series so far. But for all that, it was still Tegami Bachi and absolutely terrific. For starters […] Read more
The little omakes attached to the DVD released for “Letter Bee” finally trickled onto the sub lists this week. As omakes go, these are pretty good so far. Animation-wise, they’ve decided to go with a sort of bright, Saturday-morning Mahou Shoujo look (and come to think of it, a Mahou […] Read more
Episode 13 serves as a sort of breather, as we take a break from the main storyline. It’s also great to see Aria as the sole focus of an episode, and we certainly see a new and different side to her (and I don’t just mean squeezing into her bee […] Read more
“Put some pantsu on!” Another week, another magical episode of Letter Bee. And finally, we have real development in the Gauche saga. For reasons I’ve already discussed, this may the hardest really outstanding series to blog. You just have to see it and it all makes sense without any help […] Read more
Connor succumbs to the timeless allure of the trap In some ways Letter Bee is a very difficult show to blog, and I suspect that the reasons may be the same as the ones explaining why it sees so little post traffic on discussion boards. In a sense, the show […] Read more
Lots of revelations in a very cute and funny 10th episode of Reverse: – Lag looks adorable (and convincing) in drag – Connor has a libido as well as an appetite – There are giant lizards in Amberground, they’re called “Miss Mascara” and they pull carts. I can see right […] Read more
What a truly wonderful episode to wrap up the Niche/Blue Notes Blues arc. It’s a mystery to me why this series doesn’t get more attention, on the English-language boards anyway. It’s really quite special and unique. What I’d thought was going to be a major step forward in the Gauche […] Read more
