My Otome DVD vol. 1
Over the years anime studios have come up with scores of variations on the cutie weapon. My-Otome continues the tradition of girlie armaments with an earnestness that has me wanting to tell Sunrise and Bandai, please make more. I love this franchise. It feels like it does exactly what it meant to do, and that’s [...]
Con Highlights and Loot
Not another Otakon 2007 post! Last Otakon post, promise. For all the things at the con that could have been run better, I still had a good time and was glad I made the trip. Most of the panels were amusing or interesting in some way and blowing lots of money on useless stuff in [...]

Rosanna’s Mystery Pantsu…Solved
When I posted the shoot for that Rosanna figure, everyone kind of had fun speculating just how her pantsu stayed on. Theories ranged from the perverse to the hilarious. Well, there’s actually a real world product. It seems a UK lingerie company sells something called the C-string, an undergarment without anything on the sides — [...]
