Kotona Elegance
Almost every day, I would suggest to Kotona that she wear a lab coat. I hear the screams out there reacting to the foolishness of the idea of covering up such a sweet body, but there’s something mysterious about Kotona and the lab coat plays to that — there’s a story behind her eyes. Of [...]
Aquarion, LOL
I can see why Funimation chose Aquarion to test the season box-set release instead of releasing it the traditional one volume at a time. Aquarion has names behind it that anime fans in the US recognize like Shoji Kawamori and Yoko Kanno, so Funimation can market the show. Who doesn’t like Yoko Kanno? Though after [...]
Pretty Slayer Akatsuki Mishiro

Auu, Makoto Sawatari
Makoto Sawatari is kind of annoying, but I like her. I’m still only four or five episodes into Kanon (2006), so I don’t really know the story that she can’t remember. Too bad ADV had a hiccup which has messed up the distribution and delivery dates for a little bit, but should be back on [...]
Kino Is a Traveler
Kino is a traveler. Shouldn’t we all be? Maybe not literally. No one I know takes time to learn about the place where they live. Like when I lived in Philadelphia, as far as I can tell, 99% of the people who live there never visited the Liberty Bell until family from out of town [...]
