| 8:13pm | Otona Joshi no Anime Time & the state of women in Japan | | | | I am a 24 years old woman and, as the years pass by, I find more and more myself wanting grown-up protagonists with whom I can relate easier. Josei, a demographic targeted at women is relatively small, especially when we talk about anime. So it’s always more than welcome when a series appears... | | |
| 9:18pm | Aku no Hana Ep. 1-7: Deviancy and repression | | | | Eat. Sleep. Reproduce. Eat. Sleep. Reproduce. Eat. Sleep. Reproduce. Eat. Sleep. Reproduce.

| 6:02pm | Kirino, Kyousuke, Kuroneko – the culmination at OreImo 2 ep 7 | | | | It’s been a quality spring season despite a somewhat rocky start, and there’s been a lot to think and talk about. Way too much in fact. Even talking generally about singular shows – like about OreImo 2 – seems like such an impossibly colossal task for a single post at this point... | | |

| 7:46am | Composer of the Month – Jun Maeda | | | | Overview: When you think of Jun Maeda, sob stories that stir one’s heart (critics will label them melodramatic tripe) set in a world where at least some of the cast are dead are what often come to mind. Fair or not, Maeda’s reputation is built on these scenarios which he’s written as part of... | | |
| 8:28pm | Flowers of Evil 6 – Wetter than an Otter’s Pocket | | | | Regardless of whether it’s even close to what Nakamura says, I laughed at that phrasing in the gg version of this episode. I could totally buy Nakamura as a worldly traveler collecting phrases about people boning. I had the funniest cringe on my face through the entire first half of this episode,... | | |

| 10:31pm | Bookmarked: Maya’s Funeral Procession | | | | I really enjoy classic manga. They are often reflections of the time they come from, and go unappreciated because time moves on – things that were awesome and new and interesting are used time and again until we’re dulled to how they came to be in the first place. This week I read a short... | | |
