While the rest of our fellow anime enthusiasts peruse selections from upcoming fall shows, this sporadic-anime-watcher-cum-blogger focuses her energy on a single title. Yes, one. It’s sad, but true.

Skip Beat!, a Yoshiki Nakamura creation, centers on Kyoko Mogami, an average girl with average looks, timid personality, and low ambition. That [...]

Quiz time: How many characters in this image are still alive? How many will still be alive at the end of the show? How manye of them shouldn’t still be alive? (Perhaps more importantly, which one of these questions interests you more -_-”)
So I just realized (okay I’ve realized for a while now) that I’ve [...]

- Glasses Ranka
- Ai-kun
- Kathy X Ozama

Now that the discussions about the autumn anime season have started, I might as well note that for those who are wondering: I’m not planning to make a preview of the upcoming season.
It just feels like everyone and his dog is already doing one, so I don’t see what my attempts can add, since [...]

Anime News Network confirms a new FMA anime in the works, to be announced on the latest volume of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga.
All I have to say… if it’s based on the manga (which, by the by, is still ongoing. READ! READ!), then this is awesome news. If it’s a continuation of the original [...]

Episode six of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu finally rolled around, and things have gone awry in the world of Haruka and Yuuto. Apparently Haruka’s street clothes look exactly like a cosplay for a show that I think doesn’t exist, so people take pictures of her and actually threaten Yuuto for trying to help her [...]

Still alive, and back to sorting through the C74 haul. This isn’t really all that notable aside from the immensely bewildering directive when you begin the game to "Select Your Wife." They mean "Select Your Character," but it doesn’t matter because you have all the control and depth perception of a three-legged drunk oxen on ice… and there’s a [...]

Sayonara, Rolo. Yup. Rolo is dead. I didn’t think that he’d go out protecting Lelouch from both Britannia and the Black Knights though. While others might say he redeemed himself and other such sentences with the word “respect” in them, him being Shirley’s murderer is still fresh in my mind so…yeah…I [...]

I have been meaning to put this up for awhile. This volume is much darker in my opinion then the other three volumes and focuses on a few things such as:
The relationship between Suiseseki and Souseiseki.
Shinku’s lost arm and how Jun manages to mend it
The “evil” mailbox which is well know from the anime.
