| 12:00am | Yuri Anime: Simoun | | | | Only about 6 months after the anime actually ended, I am *finally* getting around to doing an end-of-season review for the series that won my "Best Yuri of 2006" award, Simoun. Don't want to rush these things, y'know.The main reason I never got around to reviewing Simoun was that the fansubbers | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Aria , Volume 9 | | | | Aria is one of those series that, despite logic and the evidence of our eyes, there's a general sense of "yuri" about it. Of course the fact that the main characters are all women helps, and the fact that yuri fans often wear finely honed yuri goggles set on high adds something to the mix. The | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Aria, Volume 10 | | | | The days pass pleasantly in Neo-Venezia. There's always a lot to learn for Akari and the other gondoliers-in-training. In Aria, Volume 10, we get a little taste of past and present with, perhaps, a glimpse into the future; the whole volume feels as if we're being led by the hand around the city | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Aria, Volumes 1,2 and 3 | | | | Today is a first for Okazu. Never before have I reviewed a manga from the translated English version that I haven't read in the original Japanese at least once. What is this world coming to?I'd been meaning to get around to Aria for a long time. I'd run into the title a few times on some of the | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Battle Binder Plus | | | | The second half of Yuri Hime "S" is as variable as the first. What was good was really pretty good, and what was bad was exhaustingly tedious."Interface" by Kurogane Kenn (Shoujo Sect) was unexpected in every conceivable way. The story begins with a girl walking in on another girl drawing a stick figure... | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Haru Natsu Aki Fuyu | | | | ShunKaShuuTou, (written with the characters for Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter) is collection of stories by Zaou Taishi and Eiki Eiki that ran in Yuri Hime and Yuri Shimai magazines. I got the deluxe version with Drama CD, a review of which will be a separate entry, because I said so.It reads oddly, | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Mini-Drama CD: Haru Natsu Aki Fuyu | | | | As I mentioned in my review of the ShunKaShuuTou manga, the deluxe set comes with a Drama CD. Even the cover art is deluxe - I've scanned in the back cover of the Drama CD so you can see Haruka and Akiho in their version of Zaou-esque GothLoli. (And, btw, should you not be as enamored as I am of | | |
| 12:00am | Yuricon News: Big Update at Yuricon! | | | | Lots of new stuff on the Yuricon Website!Yuri Studios: Seven new yuri-themed AMVs - the runner up entries from the Anime Music Video Contest are now available for download from Yuri Studios. Winning entries coming soon! New Events on the Yuricon Event Page: More yuri panel listings from around the | | |
| 12:00am | The end is near | | | | No matter what I do I don't have same passion towards anime as before. There is so much more interesting things in real life that this soon dead hobby only drags me down. I dropped several shows, finished Futago Hime and Hataraki Man leaving only two for me. Three more episodes before Aria ends and... | | |
| 12:00am | Otogi-Jushi Akazukin 17 - Alicia?!? | | | | Yeah, I'm totally concentrating on important aspects of this show I was watching this episode with "nice average stuff that doesn't need full attention"-attitude and then I notice something strangely familiar, I could swear I heard same VA (Sayaka Ohara) as Alicia has in Aria. Though maybe it just... | | |
| 12:00am | Aria The Natural 15 - Akira the mood breaker | | | | Akari and Akatsuki finally had a chance be lovey-dovey at the excuse of food and then that stupid Akira ruin the mood. Akatsuki, you hesitate too much, just admit you like Akari (No, I definitely don't read the scene too much). We see a little story from Akatsuki's past, that scene in the swing was... | | |
| 12:00am | Aria The Natural dvd special 1 | | | | So it feels like this to watch good anime, I almost forgot that feeling. I'm not sure if I have seen this before, but nevertheless it was on usual Aria-level and that means I have to blog about it. The length is only little over 5 minutes where Akari tells her story about wonderful friends, undines and... | | |
