My feelings of Moe towards the K-On! girls started taking on a more eros nature, but what was interesting about...

First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ...

Man, it’s hard to believe I’m already in to my 9th year of being an otaku as well as my 4th year of blogging. Time sure flies.

I can still dramatize Minami-ke.The third round has been a rough mix of incredible blowouts and intense battles; we’ve seen all four Clannad girls annihilate the competition in varying amounts.

Going into it, it seemed very similar to Sky Girls which I wasn’t a giant fan of mainly because it took them forever to do nothing. Still, I gave this a shot and found it to be much more interesting then I thought. It wasn’t just destroying...
