| 9:00am | Simoun | | | | In the country of Simulacrum, gender is not something you are born with- instead you must choose it by visiting the Spring in your seventeenth year. For those who have not yet chosen, however, a sacred duty awaits- the chance to become a sibylla and ‘pray to the sky’ within the vehicle known as... | | |
| 2:16am | Misunderstood | | | | Humans are social creatures. Those who are watching Shigofumi get a good examples of this in the school bully episode. But what’s just as important to the courage to confess or the strength to overcome rejectionis the ability to say what you want to say. It’s saying what you want to say.... | | |

| 7:10pm | Begins Simoun | | | | I didn’t know much about Simoun before putting it in my queue other than it was mystical sci-fantasy, had some yuri affection, and pretty character designs. While Simoun has set things up in a way for some convenient yuri action, it looks like the show has a lot more going for it than some good... | | |
| 1:30am | True Tears 07 | | | | Came out an hour ago. Finished it half an hour ago. (Spoilers this time. Sowwy, but you need to watch it guys!) Then rewatched it for screenies. Wow. It’s been a while since you got a screenie post, eh? Screenshot heavy post. Beware. Jaa, hajimerumasuyo! Ikku de kansu! Hungaa (Insert tsundere... | | |
| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |
| 4:14pm | Yuri Manga: Yuri Hime, Volume 11 Part 2 | | | | Time for Part 2 of Yuri Hime Volume 11. Yay! Wielded with force, this book is big enough to leave a mark. :-)Miura Shion's essay on Yuri manga covers a few titles by Fujita Takumi, Goshuujin-sama ni Amai Ringo no Okashi and Yuki no Jou-ou. My thanks to Erin from Lililicious, who assisted me with deciphering... | | |

The good news is - this book is *huge*!Yuri Hime Volume 11 is about 460 someodd pages of Yuri goodness, plus an extra mini publication, Petite Yyuri Hime as an omake. There's new stories, and... | | |

| 3:19am | Don’t you DARE touch my tako wiener, Hiromi. | | | | That is not your tako weiner. That is my tako weiner. Touch it and I kill you. So true tears continues to impress. I’m not necessarily a “fan” of galge adaptations in general, love of ef - a tale of memories aside, but true tears is a weird galge adaptation: for one, I don’t... | | |
| 10:33pm | Legitimate Lamentations: It’s all about the subtext |  | | | Relax, kuro, we understand j00. In case you have difficulty in deciphering the gist of this post due to my verbosity, here’s Cliff Notes for you: It’s like casting pearls before swine. Which is my passive-aggressive, catty and unnecessarily confrontational way of saying either “What... | | |

| 12:32am | True Tears: A Closer Look | | | | The more I watch, the more I fall in love with True Tears. Perhaps the most engaging thing about the show at this point is the tacit suggestion that there’s “more than meets the eye,” as far as Isurugi Noe’s obsession with collecting tears is concerned. Is there a supernatural... | | |
| 7:57am | January Summary | | | | We’ve now passed one third of the Winter-season. I must say that it’s been one of the best winter-seasons we’ve had in years. There are so many potentially awesome series, and there have been hardly any disappointments so far. #31 (new) - H20 ~ Footprints in the Sand - (5/10) - I find it strange... | | |
