Aragaki Ayase. My new favorite character. From this anime series that I only occasionally watch every now and then. Yeah, I only watched, like what, five episodes? (Out of five episodes.)

Straight out of a page from How to Make Female Friends 101, Kirino comes to realize just how poor a judge of character she truly is. Like a grade schooler accepts candy from strangers, Kirino essentially surrounded herself with the wrong type of people to preserve her self-image rather than give thought to her well-being. It’s only after an accidental confrontation with her attention-starved “best friend” that she began to have second thought about this dank dichotic friendship that pits her true self against a menagerie of lies.

Needless to say, we already know she’ll try to discombobulate matters by trying to preserve the way things are; instead of giving up her double life and openly pursuing little sisters as only true otakus can dream about. And that is why Kirino is seemingly unhappy outside of her room playing erotic games.

This anime is really bad. more…

Capitalizing Romaji is retarded.

So the latest delusion to worm its way into the pants of otaku worldwide seems to be this anime called ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai. Like most anime as of late, oreimo (as I will deem to label) is based on a series of light novels about a “normal” Japanese boy who has a smart, pretty and popular younger sister. But she has a deviant little secret that threatens to break the very foundation to their wholesome family life. No, she’s not in love with her brother… unfortunately. But don’t worry, because Kyousuke has a grand plan to fix this little problem; because you see, Kirino, our heroine, is obsessed with anime and erotic games featuring little sisters. more…

So I finally started reading a manga called Ressentiment per my friend’s suggestion and I found myself hating real females again. I hate frustrating series like that. I can’t remember the last time I felt this burning utter hatred for the third dimension.

Then I finished up Kaichou wa Maid-sama to reaffirm why anime girls are superior. Only to find out that Misaki chose the WRONG MAN. Is there no salvation in this cruel world!?

I just remembered that manglobe is also animating the only other series I keep up with: Kami Nomizo Shiru Sekai.

Now, unlike SoreMachi, KamiNomi is pretty damn popular, so I’m assuming this series needs no introduction. On the other hand, if you’ve been living under a rock, you can always ask questions on the thread that someone (cough*me*) made. Be careful, I don’t hide spoilers.

I really have nothing to say about it… except that I hope manglobe doesn’t screw this up.

I’m a bit behind the times; no thanks to StarCraft II. Goddamn, I feel ashamed.

In any case, I just found out that Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, or SoreMachi for short, is getting animated. By manglobe of all people. That almost sounds like a bad thing, since the only anime I liked from them is… well, I can’t remember liking anything from them.

Cafe Seaside’s site doesn’t seem to have anything right now, except three guys comparing waist sizes. To be honest, I didn’t even think SoreMachi was all that popular. After all, aside from me I don’t know anyone who reads it. But geez, now it’s even featured on the front page of TBS’s Anime FESTA! So the discontinued project that I never got around to continuing will hopefully get picked up by a far better (and more active) translator…

I’d suggest buying the manga, if only just to enlarge your penis length.
