| 7:15am | Hatsukoi Limited 5-6 | | | | I agree completely with Kabitzin that Episode 5 was the least enjoyable so far. Mainly because I had precious little sympathy for Meguru. It’s just such a crying shame to waste her Olympic-level potential like that. And because I was kinda stumped by the contradiction between (P1) Meguru likes... |
| 6:57am | Saki 7 | | | | Takei Hisa’s ‘Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen’ moment. There were some interesting contrasts in each half of the episode. In the first half, attention was lavished on Nodoka wiping out her opponents while we didn’t even see Saki steamroll hers. But I suppose that... |
| 8:56am | life lessons 1-3 from ristorante casetta dell’orso | | | | 1. I may be unhappy but there’s no need to act like the people addressed by the following lyrics from U2’s One: You act like you never had love And you want me to go without 2. Though having a screwed up life is great justification for acting like an arsehole, the latter doesn’t... |
| 6:27am | Hayate no Gotoku!! 7 | | | | MEIDO for THREESOME. About the beauty of THREESOMES. Perfect for a pre-THREESOME meal. Is that anticipation of THREESOME or are you just happy about my childish taste in curry? Swinging THREESOME lovin’ newlywed couple. Notice how love x love x love comes in THREESOMES. Something was... | | |
| 4:05pm | To Heart 2 ad plus 1 | | | | Sigh, needed more Tama-nee and less robot meido make curry. For episode summary, see the very comprehensive one at The State of Happiness. Surprisingly Ilfa has become quite reliable - that’s the power of having to be Oneechan to Silfa and Milfa. And Sasara did a good job on the charm of Tama-nee... | | |

| 8:10am | Mahou Senki Lyrical Nanoha Force 00 | | | | From just a brief glance through the raw manga scan, it seems that *shokku* the main chara of Lyrical Nanoha 4th series’ is a boy. Even the artist, Higa Yukari-sensei, was initially doubtful about this. Leaving aside how sidelining Yuuno in A’s contributed to that sequel’s enjoyment... | | |
| 2:42pm | K-ON 7 | | | | The yuri is strong in this one was what I initially thought re: Mugi’s fascination with "girls bonding". I said, over at Dav’s, that I didn’t find her very slashable with any of the other girls and perhaps another chara would be more suitable. But the more I think about... |
| 1:02am | Embracing Google Search’s tentacles | | | | Broken search (my fault) was one of the reasons why the theme was switched from K2 to Vigilance. While things worked better in the new theme, one of my dissatisfactions with the native WP search was how it returned the same number of search results as the maximum number of posts on the main page (add:... |
| 7:21am | Shuri arc stabilizes Asura Cryin’ | | | | I was very much relieved to read that Aroduc approved, overall, of the past three episodes of Asura Cryin’ : Ep 4 - As surreal as much of this episode was, this show is actually turning out so much better than the first two episodes indicated. Ep 5 - Not as good as the last couple, but still... |
| 8:19am | Hayate no Gotoku!! 6 | | | | Hina rescues sad girly boy in snow. Seems that Hayate has some serious blocks (and the usual bad timing) to prevent Hina from decisively triggering his flag. But the potential is shown to be there in a way that we only saw briefly wrt Maria-san right at the beginning of the series. Haha, I loved... | | |
| 8:16am | Saki 6 | | | | Steven Den Beste opines: As to the yuri, it’s all a tease. And it’s been declining. There wasn’t any of it in ep 6, for example. Well, one just has adjust one’s yuri goggle power settings and you’ll be able to detect the yuri power stronger than ever. For example, in the... |
| 7:46am | K-ON 6 | | | | Wherein Stripey makes a guest appearance. This reminds me of the time when he showed me this Ayane versus Kasumi clip from DOA which ended up with the latter sitting on a branch watching the sunset and a leaf falls somewhere strategic. Whereupon this happened: Zyl: I wish I was the leaf. Stripey: I... |
| 6:48am | Saki 5 | | | | Would you rather be the fan or the penguin? Nodoka witnesses the firepower of these full armed and operational blushing shoulders. There’s no need to peek. Nodoka *is* your waifu after all, Saki-chan. Still it was really cute. LOL For my eyes only! There is no place for the male gaze here.... |
| 1:35pm | Hayate no Gotoku!! 5 | | | | No Hinagiku in this week’s episode so just a few brief comments:LOL at Maria-san’s apple pie trick. All the more LOL since Tanaka Rie’s other role in Hatsukoi Limited was at the receiving end of something similar. The advice of Oneesans is delicious indeed.Saku is so spot-on as to... | | |
