Azure Flame Reloaded

The time has come to decide who the most HARD GAY man in the land is, with the first battle of the first round taking place between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Cao Cao may have fewer men than his rival, but can he make up the difference in numbers with superior technique? The chapters [...]

As the season hauls itself to the midway point, the inevitable pruning time has come again (although sometimes it feels like I prune every week). The first few series to face the chop are YoakeNa, Negima and Ghost Hunt, none of which inspire me to waste any more of my life on them. Code Geass [...]

The following parody comes with an advisory warning: if the thought of a man dressed only in a thong in any way scares, traumatises or disgusts you, do not read on. Please direct all complaints about his appearance to the animators and original mangaka. Chouno’s father explains how he tried to train his eldest son [...]

Episode six turned out to be a particularly complex one to create; not only did Midori have to be transformed into a playable character, but every scene seemed to require some trick or another. Oddly enough, the section that required the most work was the seemingly simplistic ‘rocks falling in a cave’ event towards the [...]

Ace high school student Light Yagami and shinigami Ryuk have one thing in common- both are bored out of their minds by their current lifestyle. Desperate for a change of pace, Ryuk decides to stir up some entertainment by dropping his Death Note –a notebook that enables the user to kill someone by writing down [...]

Using the magic of television, the story has jumped ahead several years. Zagi’s people (Blanc Ring) attack Night Ring. Zagi confronts its Top, Jeso. Jeso: You won’t defeat me so easily! Zagi: Who are you kidding? I’m an OP character, whilst this is your first appearance. A messenger from Night Ring makes his way to [...]

Following on from what I was talking about last Friday, the KOS-MOS figure has arrived, and it is with some relief that I realise I like it enough to want to keep it (but if only I’d ordered it from United Publications and saved myself £14). Nonetheless, a new problem has arisen- just where am [...]

As the blue-white light causes the house to explode, pieces of wood fly everywhere. Mokkun: Guren form! Mokkun transforms into Guren in order to save Masahiro from that most dangerous of enemies- wood. Guren: This will be the most dangerous enemy yet. Masahiro: Yeah, I sense a lot of evil foreign demons.

These days, it’s rare for a series not to get subbed- even the likes of Haruka 8 and the twenty year old Ginga Nagareboshi Gin are slowly but surely being released. With that in mind, it seemed only logical to expect the Angelique TV series to be picked up by someone sooner or later, but [...]

Entry Seven It has taken a while, but at long last I have worked out the optimum schedule for maximising my time with the girls. In order that others may learn from my shining example, I have generously decided to include it here. Early morning: Get up, tease Makoto, walk to school with Nayuki if [...]
