Toradora, Episode 14- Touching Taiga, Touching Me

By Calawain | Published: January 10, 2009

After a week off Toradora is back! All around a pretty good episode with some comedy but mostly a large amount of character development as we do a post-op on the culture festival. I’m a day or two late…but who cares right? I had to get this entry in before the football [...]

The Team Concept, and You are a Pirate [now with lelangir's brief, appended thoughts]

Impz first winter impressions – Sora wa Kakeru Shoujo, Sunrise original!

By Impz | Published: January 8, 2009

Main reason why I hate Sunrise: Unneeded fanservice for the sake of mere fanservice.
