Merry Kurushimimasu: Trends and Moments That Made Me Suffer in 2009

(NOTE: Meant to get this published while I was out of town last week, but site issues kept me from accessing the draft to publish it. But it’s still technically the holidays, and it’s in before the year is over, at least going by US EST) In accordance with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei vol. 4, this [...]

Minami-ke Okaeri 11: The Joke So Nice, They Used It Twice

Yes, they really were BOTH laughing in that daydream.  Just like a certain stripping senior… Once again, as seems to be par for the course, Minami-ke Okaeri manages to lurch along from amusing to ho-hum all within the same episode.  The twist this time is that we get an episode that focuses more on Riko [...]

Opportunity… It only knocks once. Well now that I can type more comfortably with this new ergonomic keyboard I can go full tilt in praise of this episode, the beach episode was fairly well done especially since Haruka did look most dashing as she was better animated this time around.

Don’t worry your best friend will be there shortly… It’s certainly shaping up to be quite the year for Touma, for the past four eps it seems that Touma has applied for adoption by Haruka. Given the quality of her brothers I cannot say I blame her, with an oppressor like Natsuki who is by [...]
