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

Shaky times

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 […]

Recently I’ve been wondering how to structure our series of shoujo essays, but then luck struck and Tokyopop released a book with a deep-seeded girl background: the action title Togainu no Chi. The Mini Review gets to explain a little bit about girl media in Japan that hasn’t made it over here, while simultaneously revealing […]

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 […]

A day in the life.

Several weeks ago, in a living room:
Bad Jew: So, are you ever going to update the f*cking website?
Lianne: I don’t see you doing it.
NotHayama: *snores in easy chair*
Lianne: …I think I’m going to jump on her knees-first.
Bad Jew: You could be spending that time updating the website.
Lianne: Is there an echo in this room? MAYBE […]

In honor of Tuesday’s sure-to-be-terrifying election, we have a special review from Bad Jew: a combo of two political manga, Eagle and First President of Japan. The manga are old, but so is the concept of politics making for good entertainment. Didn’t the Romans start that? Something about feeding political opponents to the lions or […]

But what would YOU do?

Recently our site has been having a problem with trolling comments. In a way, it’s a good thing: trolls mean that someone is actually reading our stuff! Always a nice to hear.
The admins have been discussing how best to deal with this. I (badjew) am in favor of us just deleting the worst of the […]

Mixed messages

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 […]
