Month: May 2010

I loved Arakawa Under The Bridge, but then I didn’t like it as much

If we lived in a perfect world, SHAFT and Shinbo Akiyuki would make shows that all centered around lolita characters in all manner of situations ranging from comedic to deadly serious. What they actually produce tends to be just as good, so I don’t make too much noise about...

Comic Update: CIA KGB FBIに共産党の陰謀よ

Original Post So yeah, here’s a comic after a month of inactivity due to me more or less finishing my last semester in college. I have one summer course after this, but honestly? I don’t even care anymore. I’d write more about this comic–this comic about PORN–if I hadn’t...

Anime IN THE RAW

Before I proceed any further, I would just like to make it clear that I am aware that this post is simply contributing to a large circlejerk in which all the participants are sad Japanophiles, and I would also like to make clear that my Japanese is still not...
