Smile Precure 02: The Power of Friendship Burns Red Like The East!
The second Precure appears!
Hino Akane / Cure Sunny is the sporty character of Smile, and finally makes her debut! While playing volleyball together Miyuki sees that Akane and Yayoi would make good Precures, and tries to recruit them. However, Candy, through some sort of Precure-mascot-logic wouldn’t let her talk to others about being Precure even when they have no idea how to find Precures and ends up smashing her in the face and crashing her into walls.

Valentine’s Event! 6pm-8pm EST!
Love is in the air~<3
As I stated in the earlier post, let’s celebrate Valentine’s Day together instead of sulking alone! Though I’ve just been rejected and want to sulk in bed all day… I’ll hang around with you guys!
So! The event will be from 6pm-8pm EST, 3pm-5pm PST. We’ll just get on skype, talk, eat our chocolate, maybe share embarrassing stories :3 and for anime watching I was thinking we can watch parts of Itazura na Kiss and B Gata H Kei, so get the first 4 episodes or so for each of them (I doubt we’ll see all of that, but just get them anyways). If enough people are interested we can hop on Teamspeak and sing cheesy love songs in karaoke too ^^. Read the rest of this entry
Love is in the Air in Inu X Boku 4 (and Twitter)
Love is in the air~ It’s in the anime and it’s in twitter~ Everyone seems to either be developing a twitter crush or talking to others on twitter about crushes. And it seems our cute little Karuta-chan has a potential suitor that happens to be an annoying brat. That crush was what led them to set up a stupid competition to go around the Ayashikan to collect signatures of other inhabitants, and introduce us to a bunch of minor characters that we’ll all forget (except for the cute little chibi that turns into the big breasted maid, HNNNGHHHH). There’s barely anyone there, I don’t know why they felt they needed to make a HUGE ASS building. Read the rest of this entry
Smile Precure 01: Ultra HAPPY!
The hyped up latest series in the Pretty Cure franchise is finally here! Smile Precure is fairy-tale-themed, bright, bubbly and tastes like the rainbow. Like its name, it puts a Smile on my face! If you heard a lot about the Precure franchise (I certainly talk about it a lot) and never got the chance to get into it, now would be a good time to follow a series! Read the rest of this entry
Let’s Have A Valentine’s Internet Event!
UPDATE: FINAL DETAILS HERE !
Valentine’s Day is coming up in a few weeks! Why am I, someone who’s forever alone, talking about it? Because I’m proposing an internet event!
You don’t have to be forever alone or single to participate, you can join in even if you’re in a relationship (though I suspect many in this position will have other plans).
Instead of sulking with forever alone-ness, let’s gather on Skype or G+ or something and eat our store-bought chocolate together while watching a romantic comedy anime, perhaps maybe even valentines-specific episodes like B Gata H Kei ep5. I’m open to suggestions!
This will NOT be for sulking, it’s for being happy together! Read the rest of this entry
The Insincerity of Humans in Inu X Boku 3
I really hated the opening scene before the OP in this week’s episode. I hated what happened to Ririchiyo, I hated the family and I’m absolutely disgusted with her father. Which is to say, it’s a great scene for its ability to invoke emotions. The situation is pretty common, a girl in a rich family is overprotected for one reason or another and wishes to be treated normally. What really struck me (pun not intended) however, was the father saying that Ririchiyo was selfish for not seeing how advantaged she is, and not understanding her sister’s pain of constantly being compared to her. The short dialogue shows a lot, both for how the father cares more for the sister and his sheer ignorance of Ririchiyo as anything but a family trophy.
The maids of the Shirakiin household always treated Ririchiyo with fake respect and empty smiles, with absolutely no sincerity behind them. Considering that was the majority of contact Ririchiyo had with humans, it’s no surprise that she has a deep distrust in people. Even outside of the household, many of the people who interact with her only do so for her family’s fame and money.

AnoNatsu 3: Reaching Out and Clearing Misunderstandings
Oh the PAINNNNNN when that happens.
AnoNatsu wasn’t anything special for the first 2 episodes, but it was still pretty cute and heartwarming. The third episode, however, was a great romantic comedy in my eyes and I look forward to the upcoming episodes. What I found notable about this episode (aside from the great comedy and stalking tendencies of Lemon-senpai), was how fast the love polygon was established solidly (more than just a blush here and there) and how quickly Kaito and Ichika cleared up their misunderstanding. It doesn’t waste any time. Read the rest of this entry
