| 3:31am | Clannad 20: My most Excellent summary and stupendous comments continue! | | | | I know what you must be thinking: “I’m already overloaded with blog posts about ep. 20 of Clannad. I mean, I got a long summary and screencaps at RC; then I got my fangirl rant (informed by knowledge of the game) from Hinano; then I got another summary from the ever-lovable Totali. And... | | |
| 9:08pm | MegaDaijoubu 2.1: Akiba Syndrome | | | | I’ve been wondering if there is an otaku equivalent to Stendhal Syndrome, which happens to some visitors to places like Florence, who are overcome with all of the art there, become dizzy and sometimes even pass out.

Her normally cute face displayed some unaccustomed anger. But her scowl was not what disturbed me the most. It was the sharp blade she held in her hand. I assumed she had borrowed it from... | | |
| 7:12am | Cosplayers and Civil War Reenactors: Kindred or not Related? | | | | Fans are an interesting breed of beings. I sometimes wonder if it matters what they are fans of.
