My-Otome, Finished
Finally got around to finishing My-Otome. I loved it. Pretty cheesy, definitely ridiculous, nudge-nudge-wink-wink, some fighting…
Portraits from Memory: Boogiepop Phantom
I’ve been wanting to write something smart about Boogiepop Phantom for years now, but I’ve come to realize that, no, I really don’t want to. Every six months or so it goes into the dvd player and I sit and take it all in. It has to have been at least ten times through already. [...]
I Had No Idea Kanon Was this Funny
I avoided reading anything on Kanon when it was airing. Pretty much, I thought Kanon would be a solid tear-jerker like Air, something that had a light hearted bit thrown in here and there to provide contrast, but really just wanted to make your eyes water. So far after eight episodes, Kanon has had me [...]

Air TV vol 3

Mushi-Shi, Inside the Cage
The episode that stuck with me the most on Mushi-Shi volume 3 is episode 14, Inside the Cage. While traveling through a bamboo forest, Ginko meets a man who can’t seem to leave the forest no matter how far he walks and what direction he goes. The man longs to return to his village after [...]
