Begin Air
Air is an anime that I’ve been anticipating without actually knowing anything about it other than a picture of a girl by the sea with her hair caught in the wind. A deep blue sky, a sublime wind, and the feeling of loneliness. Is it enough?
Tuskino Azusagawa and Her Buns
All afternoon, the only thing I could think about was spreading sweet creamy butter all over Tsukino’s hot buns. I tried not to run to her house like a drooling idiot and used all my willpower to keep from howling as I opened the gate to let myself in the back way. Then as I [...]
