| 3:49am | Strike Witches STG Review |  | | | I want to review more doujin games (I have some OELVN reviews coming once I finish the games too) so here’s a quick review of a Strike Witches danmaku you may or may not have heard of before.

| 2:27am | Yoshika Miyafuji Sukumizu Gymnastics | | | | Strike Witches Yoshika and Michiko (who awaits a full role in the second season by the looks of things) pose interestingly in this image, which is remarkably restrained if we consider what the classic image of Yoshika’s aerial gymnastics comprises Full resolution here.

| 11:27am | Why the discrepancy for Mai-Hime? | | | | I generally appreciate manga more than anime due to my horrible experiences with anime spin-offs. Just the anime for Claymore alone almost drove me bonkers when Clare forgave Priscilla in that volcano scene that hasn’t happened in the manga. Everyone forgave each other and it was a happy ending.Be... | | |

| 9:14pm | Druaga ends |  | | | Kuro said it for me too: Well, all in all, a surprisingly engaging Gonzo series, just sadly ruined by another nonsense ending by Gonzo. I finally undestood the hate of GONZO swirling around the Internet. The problem is how they paint by numbers instead of actually painting, so to speak. Utu’s... | | |
