| 7:46am | Hatsukoi Limited 3-4 | | | | Putting together Kurogane’s celebration of Kei’s Shizuka Itou-fuelled tsundere and omo’s observation about Kusuda and Kei’s "theme of unity through aesthetics", Kappa-face’s mobile phone wallpaper also shows us that he is also dishonest about his protestations... | | |
| 8:26am | Morinaga Milk’s Girl Friends Vol.1 and 2 | | | | I’m not entirely sure why I suddenly decided that I had to have these two tankubon. But when I did, Amazon.jp (even Marketplace) was out of stock, Kinokuniya Singapore refused to accept my order - something about ‘due to the content’ and the vigilant eyes of the Customs officers of... | | |
| 3:24pm | K-ON 5 | | | | My yuri radar powers are indeed weak; I just took Mugi’s words at face value after Yui caught her spying on her conversation and first aid session with Sawako-sensei. Dav came to the rescue by imparting her manga knowledge: ‘Mugi thought they were having some sort of H conversation…’... |
| 10:30am | Alter Nagato Yuki Uniform Ver. | | | | “This looks like one of the back corridors of the old building,” she thought. She was certain that she had managed to return to normal space; the fading light was from the evening sun of the real world. It was going to get dark soon. Where was her opponent? Footsteps. And a greeting:... |
| 7:10am | Saki 4 | | | | This week’s episode takes Saki down a peg. Hisa gets a pro to secretly ambush our title chara and gf Nodoka. I’m pleased that Saki’s aura of invincibility has been broken; that re-introduces dramatic tension into the games. Yet, at the same time, I am incredulous that there are going... | | |
| 8:46am | The divine comedy of Hatsukoi Limited | | | | In accordance with the Shizu-sama Doctrine, I was going to check out Hatsukoi Limited anyway. But I kept putting it off for various reasons. High school romance hijinks are not exactly my cup of tea. My answer to the opening question in the opening moments of the series was a grumpy ぜんぜん!... | | |
| 7:03am | Hayate no Gotoku!! 4 | | | | And so it begins. LOL at how deftly Miki set Hina up so that there was no way she could refuse her chocolates. No mention, however, whether all the chocolate that Hina received as obligation or love chocolate. ;-) In a perfect Hina-centric aniverse, we’d get to see a sample of the girls presenting... | | |
| 3:11am | K-ON 4 | | | | Because you two are such a couple. Oh, look at how you play mind games with each other. Though it seems that only Mio likes to get physical. And if you think Ritsu was bad, just wait till Mio meets Captain Haddock. There it is again! :D (clue: third screencap above) Oh how I loved this type of... |
| 12:55am | from the ancient times STVY | | | | Sakura Wars TV Series 1 (Reviewed 2003-02-10, Updated 2003-11-23) Based on the console game, the TV series draws on the very first version (have lost count of the number of subsequent versions). This is set in an alternative 1920s setting where the Taisho era didn’t all go horribly wrong and Imperial... | | |
| 10:30am | from the ancient times IMO | | | | I! My! Me! Strawberry Eggs (Reviewed 2002-03-05 with revisions 2003-11-16) Mix of Tootsie and Great Teacher Onizuka i suppose. Guy can’t get a job at a girls’ school as the principal is anti-male. With the help of a rich, eccentric, techie ‘grandma’, he’s transformed into... | | |
| 7:00am | Queen’s Meido | | | | I was wowed by the above chara in the ED of the first episode of Queen’s Blade. Of all the meido uniforms, I still prefer the modern black and white French maid (miniskirt version) like the one worn by Saber in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. But when I did a bit of research into this chara, it seems that... |
| 12:49am | Saki 3 | | | | Speaking the language of yuri love through the game of mahjong! N> She’s saying: ‘I can’t wait to get my hands on your boing.’ S> I still have MOAR to say. N> Wha- ‘All your boing are belong to me’!? S> :D N> S-so humiliating! She’s telling... |
| 9:08am | Hirasawa Yui gathers no moss | | | | That Mio is the top favourite K-ON character isn’t a surprise at all. I have been a little surprised though at how much Yui is disliked: she ‘drove [Kabitzin] crazy, in a bad way’ and Mentar called her a ‘walking toothache.’ Ouch. I’m not going to rush to the defence... |
| 7:21am | Hayate no Gotoku!! 3 | | | | Which is why pre-emptive strikes aren’t always a good idea. The Heroine to the rescue! At this point, she’s probably not doing this because she likes Hayate but (1) guilty about cutting him off earlier and (2) Hina does have a bit of a Hero complex (i.e. she likes being the Hero LOL).... | | |
| 2:31am | Mentar misperceives Stripey’s Siscon | | | | Actually I was the one who was partly responsible for Stripey having not watched KimiAru. I did not recommend KimiAru to my blogging bro-in-arms, as a siscon show, because I did not think it would pass muster WRT the とある妹萌えのしまし ま狸(ソトリピ) fetishization process: Sister... | | |
