Manga Review: Tomoyo After: Dear Shining Memories

By jiff | Published: August 23, 2008

This has been a slow summer for me anime-wise, with not much new that has kept my attention. So, I’ve been using this chance to catch up on some of my backlog, marathoning older shows and reading lots of manga. If you read our fall preview, you may have noticed that I have recently [...]

World Destruction Ep 7: ROFL to the randomness and dumbass fake WDC members.

By Reverse Vampire | Published: August 22, 2008

Watching this episode makes me wanna puke, and as you can see, I don’t even see what the story was about. ROFL to the randomness in the episode and Morte being unaware about her ripping skirt (And beat up poor Kirie and Toppi.) Must hate her this episode; Kirie and Toppi are just trying to [...]

Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode(s) 6 & 7 – Blurring the lines

By Maipeisu | Published: August 22, 2008

Yes, thank you!!!! Thank for not sucking (rofl)!!!! After watching episodes four and five, I was almost certain that episode six would crystallize my tentative decision to sweep Nastume Yuujin-chou into THAT’s ‘Dropped’ section and close the lid. Anxiously certain. Freedom was so close, I could almost taste it. I probably would have done so much [...]

[LWC 61] Visual Study in Feminine Finger Positions

By lelangir | Published: August 21, 2008

↩[LWC 60] Something about this quintessential fingering in anime has somewhat “pestered me”. It’s an extremely common device to indicate femininity, perhaps mindlessly abused? – but, more specifically, to help signify distinct types of femininity that anime is nearly contingent upon. Its nuanced function depends on the character at hand (no pun intended), so its effect [...]

Nogizaka Haruka, Episode 6

By Calawain | Published: August 19, 2008

What happens in Comiket, stays in Comiket It’s the Comiket episode! It comes complete with porn, yaoi porn, cosplay, rabid otakus, and massive lines. But because it’s this show, we also get the maids and imoutou of the year tagging along, with a healthy serving of hugging and blushing for dessert.

T.H.A.T Fall 2008 Anime Preview

By Impz | Published: August 18, 2008

You know that this will be a great season when I do not even know whether I will be blogging EF. Since poor Calawain wrote the previous summer season, it might seem reasonable that he has the invaluable experience to continue on this feature of T.H.A.T. Nonetheless, to relieve him of his pain and his troubles, [...]
