Subtlety in Romance, Sweet Blue Flowers
I often ponder the appeal of yuri. Is it the forbidden, exotic allure of a pair of pining maidens, begging to be fetishized and capitalized upon by the industry? On some level, yes – but making that claim would be akin to claiming that all ro...
Nodame Cantabile Rewatch and my introduction to Japanese Live Action
A few months ago on Twitter, Moritheil of Anime Diet proposed one of those ever popular communal rewatches that always seem to make the experience more fun. A couple posts have already been done to get the ball rolling , but I was busy drowning in m...
War is better when it’s Moé – Gadget Trial
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume you haven’t heard of Gadget Trial. If you follow visual novel translation news then you can skip the next few lines, but in essence, it’s a surprisingly lengthy VN by the apparently well-know...
Artbook Review: Mutsumi Sasaki Art Works 1998-2005

It’s funny how often the greatest stories are about the simplest of things. Love, after all, is nothing new to the human race. It’s been around since the beginning the time, for as long as we’ve been able to think and feel; whether ...
The Truth Beneath The Surface: Clannad, Key, and the Romantic Fairy Tale
In the beginning, my Clannad pictures only involved Nagisa. Then, it was Nagisa and Tomoya. Now…well, you do the math. It was a year and a half ago that the Clannad anime began airing, introducing to English speaking fans the latest of Key̵...
Bitter Virgin: An Uninhibited Tale
It’s an interesting phenomenon when a fictional story makes you figuratively cringe with pain. No, not the kind of cringing that seems to so often occur while watching the likes of Akikan or hundredth filler episode of Naruto: I’m talking...
[Artbook] - Happy Soda vol 1
For those of you who may have missed the news, super rats of Happy Soda recently released a figure photography doujin, sold for only a week at lulu.com. I believe the final statistics were that 25 people ordered a copy, and as one of the 25 who happe...
