I think anyone who dropped Ookami Kakushi because it had a few seconds of yaoi in the last episode will come to regret it. Obviously, it was just a plot device and this show has designs well beyond that.
January 2010
When I started to watch weekly shows, there was something I was told to keep in mind; that you watch the first episode to decide if the show’s bad, the second episode to decide if it’s good, and the third to decide if you really want to watch it. After three episodes of Baka to [...]
Even though Nodame Cantabile doesn’t crack my top 5, if I could marry a show, this would be the show I marry. Why?

It’s late January so you know what season it is… yaoi season! (No that didn’t make any sense. I got nothing. That’s what happens when you get Leno’s writers writing for you.)

Finally, finally, Nodame’s back. And even though it’s a little bittersweet knowing that this is the final season, I’ve been anticipating this show like nobody else’s business.
