Senjougahara and Kanbaru

This was an incredibly hot scene… even if you knew the context behind it.

Haruhi strikes a pose

Sometimes I wonder why Haruhi chose the people she chose as her "friends." As far as her directorial debut goes, I have some empathy for her. Her lead actress can barely get dressed on her own, her main villain is about as emotive as a coffee table, her do-everything camera man is a grumpy naysayer [...]

Horo overhears a conversation

A strange thought occurred to me as Horo talked about listening to the various groups of arguing merchants – does Horo have two sets of working ears? She has the clearly visible and moeblob okami ears, and every indication is that they’re not just decorative. But what about Horo’s human ears? Do they work too? [...]

loli Mii-chan

I think I’ve mentioned before, but the hardest part about writing these Sora no Manimani posts is keeping the screenshots to a minimum. I usually try to restrain myself, but I decided to go buck wild for this one.

Kinzo Ushiromiya

As they, it’s not a murder mystery party until you have a bunch of demon goat butlers wielding d-swords. Also, what the heck is "Week Square"? Don’t studios have someone proofread their stuff before it airs? DEEN’s not the first and won’t be the last. In fact, I think I saw a blatant misspelling in [...]

Saku's mama is disappointed

I wrote this post once, but then the last half disappeared, so the last half is probably going to seem lazy. After a short lull in the Mii-chan x Saku x Hime love triangle, it’s back in full force this episode. And now that damn Fumin is giving her best shot to turn it into [...]

Taniguchi talks to Kyon

Is it "The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya" or "The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya"? Sort of a silly question, but little nitpicky things like this tend to bug me. I’m going to go with "The Sigh…" since that was the original novel title.

Lawrence petting Horo

After a long break, Horo is back in full force, taking over every scene with moe moe kyun and rapier wit. Hanging with witty people naturally makes you wittier. So there’s no doubt that smooth talking Lawrence owes his new slick style to hanging with Horo.

ponyo

I don’t usually do full out reviews, because I don’t think I’m particularly good at writing them, but I wanted to say something about Ponyo, so what the hell. I didn’t actually watch the Disney dub, but watched a fansub version instead. All the talk about the Disney release reminded me that this movie’s been [...]

Haruhi prepares to spill tea on Kyon
