At least, they haven't had her pull out a magnifying glass.

Pimples piss me off!

Holy shmoly…I just finished Last Exile

No, this isn’t one of those, “and it was awesome” post. It is one of those, “I thought I finished it seven years ago” post. So, I’m sitting in my living room all cozy and whatnot due to the relinquishing of the ambient temperature during the season Winter, henceforth known as coldy-time. It being Sunday; [...]

Strike Witches 2 – Miyafuji badassery

I’ve always found it interesting that the heroines in anime are often strong, independent, and motivated. Whilst, the male heroes are often indecisive, reckless, and incompetent.

Liang is such an insane character it’s hard not to like her. This is anime, so it is completely possible that they will work in some sympathetic [...]

So, I got curious as to what it would look like, given that we are expecting this to occur soon. You’ll have to forgive me for getting a little impatient. Like every other Yuki fan on the planet, this was the only thing I absolutely wanted from the second season of Haruhi. Although, I’ll admit, [...]
