Spice and Wolf II: Futures Trading, Medieval Politics, and Inter-Species Courtship

Spice and Wolf II

Huh. I just realized that I never made a post on the first season of Spice and Wolf- and here I am jumping into a review of its second season. Ah well. Speed review of season one, people? Here goes:

Craft Lawrence, white-haired but no geezer, is a travelling merchant whose dream [...]

Natsu no Arashi: Quantum Physics for Amateurs

It looks nothing like this.

Natsu no Arashi (Summer Storm) first came to my attention while I was reading a copy of School Rumble. This little leaflet fell out, one of those small rectangular spreadable sheets of shiny, thin, brightly (Or darkly, depending on the material it covers) colored paper that just inexplicably make for [...]

Eden of the East

I don’t really know what I was expecting out of Eden of the East (Higashi no Eden). At any rate, I don’t remember any pertinent preconceptions I might have had regarding it. Perhaps I was worried that it wouldn’t be able to cover much ground, given it’s short run, a mere 11 episodes- too long [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: How Harry Lost his Lobster

Summer Fashion Trends… Not.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I haven’t read the book, but I’ve watched the movie. Before I begin let me just say that I am not a Potter maniac, never mind the fact that I lined up with a friend outside a bookstore for a few hours at 2 in [...]

Gundam 00: Gravure Idols, Rock Bands, and Scrap Metal

Tieria's Gravure Debut

“For this post, I will be conducting a dissertation on the art of cross-dressing without ending up looking like a certain idiotic former soldier-turned-butler. I shall begin with the basics of makeup…” Oh shut up, Tieria. He’s one of the main characters in the series I’ll be ‘reviewing’ today… I wonder where [...]

Nabari no Ou: Of friendship stronger than even Frodo and Sam’s

Nabari no Ou

Before I go on, a few words: It’s been about a month since my exams, but I still haven’t gotten around to moving to wordpress.org. When will it happen? I keep saying ’soon’, but nothing has happened yet. And I did say I wanted to move this holiday. Oh well.

Nabari no Ou. [...]

Chaos;Head: Delusion=Reality

I’ve been wondering whether to watch Chaos;Head for some time- it’s been languishing in my hard drive for some time now, but I just never got around to watching it. I even considered getting rid of it. Truth be told, I’m glad I didn’t. I just felt like I had to grant it a review, but since everyone else has probably done it, why bother? Then again… how about a guide through my thought processes as I watched it? Well then, read on if you’d like to see my neurons darting [...]

French greens taste excellent, but printed nonsense is still nonsense

Well well- I’ve just completed my research essay for my Common Law exam, and all that I have left to do is think up a title for it. Maybe I’ll call it “why the French find you amusing”. Although that would probably result in a big cursive zéro. Well, naming issues aside, I just watched Mr. [...]

Sisterly Love: A guide on the do’s and dont’s

Gropers better stay away from these two

Anime review time. Ga-Rei Zero is the 12 episode prequel to the manga of the same name (minus the ‘Zero’). Quite a lot of gore and violence in this one, so you might want to skip it if you have a standard issue gecko sized heart.

In episode one, [...]

How to respond to a “Nipaa~?” for Dummies

Little kid all grown up?

Just finished watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. Who cares if it came out centuries ago- I’m still gonna do a mini review, because I have absolutely nothing better to do (not really, I could be studying), and this will help relieve the boredom somewhat.

First thing I thought was- [...]
