Sleep Is For the Weak

I’m afraid NotHayama and I aren’t big fans of most of the high-profile josei titles these days, so we’ve decided it’s time to explain why. Part one of this rather angry little series is my rant on Honey and Clover. NotHayama is working on her piece on Nana (not a josei, but close), and I’ll […]

Slim pickings this week, but I have a Mini Review of Pearl Pink and an update to the Mini Review of Let Dai for you. I also updated the out-of-date Reviews and Mini Reviews archive lists. Against all reason, I’m back in school this semester, so the hellish existence known as “grad student” has sucked […]

I’m having a busy week, so right now I offer you two things: a mini review of the Gin Tama manga by NotHayama, and the promise that I’ll try and update again before next Tuesday. I need to update the review and mini review list archives at the very least. But if I can’t find […]

I guess I’ll do a review or essay or something on Death Note now; I’ve practically written one in the comments section of last post already, but that’s lame - I need something more organized. Time to replace my mouth with money, or however the expression goes.
I’ve also read a lot more of Let Dai […]

Wow…our readership is growing, as are the number of people who think I’m metaphorically loud-mouthed. That’s okay. I’m literally pretty loud-mouthed, too.
I’m a bit late, but there’s an actual, honest-to-God new full review from our contributor Orange Skirt up now. It’s for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, the fabulously weird (and surprisingly entertaining) live-action version of […]

I woke up at dawn and couldn’t fall back asleep, so I got up and wrote a very long Mini Review for Suppli. I can’t…I can’t shut up when it comes to talking about female characters in media. I just can’t. Forgive me.
I’ll be back on Tuesday, because now I plan to go back to […]

Back by popular (?) demand, we now have more anime/manga awards. It’s still in the old format, so any comments people want to leave will have to go with this post. They’re a little dirtier than usual this time…sorry, that’s probably just because we’re all old enough to read/watch trashy stuff out of Japan these […]

My cold is now a flu, and instead of stuffed-up I am now vomity. I spend half of my day in a drugged-up daze. I’m not sure when I can update next, but I hope it to be sometime this week. I’ll do my best.

The Cold From Hell knocked me flat for an unexpectedly long time, as it did to NotHayama, who was the one to give it to me. *shakes fist* I still apologize for being a week late. Here are three Mini Reviews that, if you print them out, can be used to dry your tears: Baku […]

Here are two more Mini Reviews for ya: the Eyeshield 21 manga (for a little shounen love) and the Jyu Ou Sei anime, since we barely review anime in this place anymore. I also updated the archive Reviews and Mini Reviews pages, and answered some comments.
I’ve got Volume 20 of Fruits Basket to rewrite for […]
