Fantastic, fantastic episode. Honestly, the direction, the music, the tension, the artwork, everything about this episode was done perfectly. I still don’t dig the everyone can see Menma development, but I forgot all about it while watching Ano Hana this week. Honestly, I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that this was one of [...]

So, I’m filling in for Sabishii this week, because he has some aspirations to be a good student or something. Somebody needs to get their priority straight. School and good grades gets you nothing. All anime, all the time though? That’s how you become the Virgin King.

Hanasaku Iroha 10

I apologize for my absence from blogging Hanasaku Iroha. I’d been busy with preparing for a con. But I’m back to continue the blogging of Hanasaku Iroha. Through episode 6-9, the show in my opinion has been getting better. Well, episode 6 was kinda a bust, though a bust with cool outfits, but after that [...]
