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 […]

I decided to try and explain/review Starry Sky. It’s really girly. Like, seriously. Most people probably couldn’t care less about it. It also took me months of research to untangle it, considering my Japanese is pretty crappy. More months wasted! That should be the official motto of our website.
Sleep is for the Weak: Proof of […]

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 […]

Or not so silently, in this case, since Bad Jew and I got back to our non-Canadian roots and wrote two mini reviews that basically accuse every person of being an idiot or a sexist asshole if s/he’s not on board. Yes, this is how we return from a many-week hiatus. Sleep is for the […]

The FUNimation release of Romeo x Juliet finally hit Western shores, like, this week, and guess what we have for it? A full review of the series by Orange Skirt. That’s right - an actual review that actually matches an actual release. Note that it took a recurring contributor sending me that review a month […]

Today we have something a little different on Sleep is for the Weak…something thoughtful, something almost academic. Bad Jew wrote an article on comics from North Korea. I was thinking of maybe just posting a review of some terrible yaoi or even just a picture of stick figures making obscene gestures at each other, but […]

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

The Internet and I…well, I figured I should tell you all that we broke up for a while. Some hurtful things were said on both sides, but we talked it over and decided that we had too long of a history to let a few bad weeks end things once and for all. We’re back […]

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 […]
