Sleep Is For the Weak

I liked Bad Jew’s last update. It was very…real. And by “real” I mean it existed, which was exciting for this place and its awful, awful updating schedule of once every when-we-get-off-our-asses (aka four months).
But you’ll like this update better, because it has STUFF. A mini review of Kami no Shizuku by Bad Jew and […]

In honor of the release of a big ol’ Nana anime boxset in the West, we updated our Nana not-that-Mini Review, since NotHayama left it somewhat open-ended last time and our contributor Orange Skirt wanted to add her opinion (and cover the non-manga versions of the franchise). The review is now significantly more robust, although […]

First, on the update front: I posted a Mini Review of Kuroshitsuji/The Black Butler anime, since I watched pretty much the entire series on Saturday during my exhaustion-spurred protest against Getting Off the Couch. I also updated the Reviews and Mini Reviews archives because that was super overdue.
Second, come to the Toronto Comic Arts Festival […]

What’s this? Did I spend weeks writing a full review of a series nobody will probably ever read? Why, yes! Yes, I did!
And I have two things I’d like to comment on:
1.) OMG
and
2.) WTF

I wrote and posted a Mini Review for the Earl and the Fairy anime about a week ago, but then never did this post to mention that. Genius = me.
Most everyone has already talked about the new license announcements by now, and how Yen Press is going to make a million billion dollars on Yotsuba […]

Bad Jew’s resolution for 2009 is to write more for the site, so his first Mini Review is of solanin, the manga every critic loves with the fire of a thousand hot Latin suns. It’s got indie appeal, is about 20-somethings who don’t know what to do with their lives, and features a not-very-good amateur […]

It’s Geek Current Events time!
1.) I still haven’t been laid off from Tokyopop, huzzah. I even got a new series from them, one with VAMPIRES IN IT. Mweh heh heh.
2.) Speaking of vampires, for any of you who heard the scream of a thousand fangirls this week, that’s because there was a climactic kiss in […]

Oh man oh man…so much good starts in October. I mean, seriously. And who wanted more of this, this, and this? And look what we get in November! Yesssssss.
Also, Bad Jew did a Mini Review of Mixed Vegetables. Exciting!
We should be back next week, since I’ve discovered I can now do these updates at work […]

Let me be PERFECTLY clear about something. My use of the word “lolz” in last post was intended to be snarky and topical, since “lol” and “lolz” are often associated with the Internet’s obsession with kitties. It was brought to my attention that some might interpret my use of the word as an acceptance of […]

Real life sucks. That is all.
I’m going to update a few times this week, since we, um, FELL BEHIND QUITE A BIT. Viz sent us a number of review copies of stuff right before our blogging blackout, so we’re currently making our way through those. Here’s the first of those reviews: Matsuri Hino’s one-shot pirate […]
