| 9:54pm | 114. Yamato Nadeshiko (Retro Drama Review) | | | | Nanako Matsushima 松嶋菜々子Today I watched a few romantic comedies from Korea and China. They made me think about the only J-drama series I watched over the summer (although if I had the time I would have watched Mr. Brain) --- Yamato Nadeshiko (lit. Japan Perfect Woman).

| 12:00am | Hatsukoi Limited is Where all the Males are Limited | | | | I’ve grown rather fond of Hatsukoi Limited. It feels every bit the generic junior/high school hijinks romance comedy with some dramatic elements. What sets it apart for me is the gorgeous character designs by J. C. Staff, that to me, is superior to their work on Toradora! Why is this a critical... | | |

I agreed with everything Kuri had to say on it, but was caught unawares by the comment left by a visitor: Is that a swastika on his arm? Lord, what some publishers are getting away... | | |
| 10:27pm | Minami-ke: Welcome Back #08 — Peanut Gallery | | | | Who are these people again? Impressions: A very tertiary character centered episode. Hell, Atsuko probably had the most screen time behind Kana, which is sort of sad in a way because she only had about 5 lines. Unfortunately, aside from the first part, most of the rest wasn’t terribly amusing.... | | |

| 3:52am | Hakushaku To Yousei ep 5 - Loli, Horsie and Jealousy |  | | | This episode reminds me of how much I like to dance and Impz’s definition of dancing, which is to hold my hand and watch me twirl like a top.
