Farewell!
I have found myself changing a lot over the past year(s), and it has really affected my love of anime and manga. While I don’t dislike anime, my tastes are different and I no longer watch it often at all. … Continue reading
Del Power X Bakuhatsu Miracle Genki
Del Power X is a relatively old OVA from 1986. It’s comedy about mecha wrestling. There’s only one episode in existence. A reference to episode 2 makes me believe that the creators had planned to make more, but it was … Continue reading
Dream Dimension Hunter Fandora – Episode 1 Summary
This Fandora thing is old (1985), and I’m drawn to old anime. I knew nothing about it, aside from that the picture on ANN is sort of neat. It also has “dream†in the title. Since it’s only 3 episodes … Continue reading

Natsu no Himei is by far my favorite story of the volume. It’s also the shortest and a straight up horror story, which allows the plot to seem much less contrived than that of the first two. The summary behind … Continue reading
Circus Wonder – Akuma ni Please
It’s been a while since I posted an entry on Circus Wonder, but now I’ve finally gotten around to the second story in the volume. (It’s Spring Break, by the way, so I can actually take a few days off … Continue reading
Quick Review – Mononoke
I liked Black Sheep’s translation of Mononoke better, but the files were so big that my poor laptop really had to struggle (it’s not that old) and the video would lag sometimes (of course having Azureus open as well probably … Continue reading
