西又葵です。
As a somewhat rabid fan of the illustrator Nishimata Aoi, I follow her blog quite regularly. I should note that when I say “follow”, I mean “look at the pictures.” I do have some Japanese under my belt, but not enough to casually look down at some text and...
Jigoku Shoujo Mistuganae 16
The sixteenth installment of the third Jigoku Shoujo series was more or less about sending pedophiles to hell. What made this episode stand out was its interesting structure, as well as a distinct lack of the show’s terribly corny damning-to-hell sequences. However, the key thing that made this episode...

Doutei’s sub of Kodomo no Jikan: Kuro-chan and Shiro-chan is really good
For what it’s worth, I’m going to give a little shout-out to Kokujin for putting out a more or less exceptional sub of the latest entry into the Kodomo No Jikan anime arsenal: Kuro-chan and Shiro-chan. It’s completely soft-subbed, has a nice re-write that reads like conversational English, and...
