Now that most of the series of the past Spring and Summer Season are about to end, it’s time to reflect on them again, and how they matched up to previous years. My general impression...

It’s shorter and less flashy than Sakura’s, but it’s still here anyway.Darker than black Comet of GeminiStudio Bones+lots of blood+some answers?=There’s no way in hell I’m going to skip this series. I wonder just how big of a role Hei is...

Congrats to Tomoyo, even with the low voter turnout. Though I’m a bit saddened by Shiki’s loss. Anyway I’m looking at the next set of matches, and I notice Yui there in what has to be an easy win for her, right? If not I’ll be at a complete...

Hurray for Hanyuu! What an impressive early show of support for her campaign. And Koromo managed to pull ahead of Izumi by just a measly two votes. (A major sigh of relief there.) Well believe it or not, K-ON is now 0-3 in this main tournament. Full results after... Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:05:45 GMT http://www.beta-waffle.com/blog/?p=1334 http://www.beta-waffle.com/blog/?p=1334 I like xxxHolic. I’ve been reading the manga since Del Rey started publishing their English print of the series all those years back.I also like Nisioisin. Minor translation niggles aside, I really liked Zaregoto (insert usual bitching about the second volumes non-release). I also really like Magical...

This series literally made me fall asleep on two separate occasions when I was trying to watch it. Just, face on the keyboard snooze. I don’t know if it’s something subliminal in the funky music or what, but it’s...

Not that they didn’t make pertinent observations:...

Aand I guess that this episode is the point where xxxHolic stops being xxxHolic, and starts becoming Tsubasa Chronicle’s back-up show (which I assume to have its next OVA announced soon...
