Time of Eve was a show that I found by accident. I was searching for something else and then I saw the cover image at the bottom of the page as something that might interest me. I added it to my list and since it was short, I jumped it past the rest of my… Continue reading Time of Eve (Ivu no Jikan)
Kill Me Baby (Kiru Mī Beibē)
Kill Me Baby was a 4 panel manga that gained a little popularity and began serialization in 2009, with the anime adaptation in 2012. It was really a random pick for me. I saw the name and though either it would be funny or have a lot of fighting. I didn’t know anything about it… Continue reading Kill Me Baby (Kiru Mī Beibē)
My First Oni Press Rejection Letter
So Oni Press rejected my pitch for Astra Etherium: Adventures of a Space Bounty Hunter in Space. What to do… It’s already in the format Dark Horse wants, I just need to change a few words for captions and stuff like that. Maybe Dark Horse or someone else is a better fit anyway. Still waiting… Continue reading My First Oni Press Rejection Letter
Etotama
Etotama was on the list of spring anime so I checked it out. I checked all the spring stuff as a way of reporting back to others on what I thought and this was one of them. Etotama is a quest of Nya-tan to regain her memory and become part of the Chinese zodiac. One… Continue reading Etotama
Corpse Party: Tortured Souls -The Curse of Tortured Souls (Kōpusu Pātī Tortured Souls: Bōgyaku Sareta Tamashii no Jukyō)
Corpse Party is a show I plucked off Twitter. Someone said it was their anime of the day and with a name like that, you know I had to check it out. This show has a moe factor at first, the art makes it look like that’s what it’s going to be but that changes… Continue reading Corpse Party: Tortured Souls -The Curse of Tortured Souls (Kōpusu Pātī Tortured Souls: Bōgyaku Sareta Tamashii no Jukyō)
Ninja Nonsense: The Legend of Shinobu (Ninin ga Shinobuden?, 2×2 = Shinobuden)
Ninja Nonsense doesn’t sound like the name of a serious anime does it. Well it’s not, Ninja Nonsense is anything but serious. I saw the name and just had to see what it was about. The show revolves around a female “ninja” named Shinobu. She is sent on a quest to steal a girl’s panties… Continue reading Ninja Nonsense: The Legend of Shinobu (Ninin ga Shinobuden?, 2×2 = Shinobuden)
Hyouka
I found Hyouka while I was looking for more mystery shows. I went in with no expectations so didn’t have any thoughts on it before watching. One day Hotako was urged by his sister to join the Classic Literature Club to keep it from being dissolved. He was joined by Eru Chitanda who just happened to… Continue reading Hyouka

Ai, Mai and Mii end up in some weird situations including some that include their senpai Ponoka. 312-75 dumps There’s aliens, Mi ends up… Continue reading Ai Mai Mi and Ai Mai Mi: Mousou Catastrophe
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gaiden Nekogoroshi-hen (The Cat Killing Chapter)
Before you run away in horror, there are no cats getting killed. You know the old saying “curiosity killed the cat”? It’s about killing curiosity not cats. The name of it is probably why this episode never came to the US. This has the main characters playing cards as usual but the penalty game gets… Continue reading Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gaiden Nekogoroshi-hen (The Cat Killing Chapter)
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei (When They Cry Gratitude)

A new event sends Rika… Continue reading Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei (When They Cry Gratitude)
