Dai-Guard
In 2017, Japan finds itself under attack from a Heterodyne; a mysterious monster so powerful that only the most dangerous and destructive of explosives is able to stop it. Fearing that the beast is the first of many such monsters, the army channels its resources into building an effective countermeasure- a giant robot named Dai-Guard.
Flash forward twelve years, however, and Dai-Guard’s fate has not exactly been the one its creators envisioned. When the Heterodyne never returned, the robot ended up in the care of 21st Century’s Public Relations Division, and has since become little more than a marketing gimmick. All that changes, however, when the Heterodyne finally make a repeat appearance, forcing the three young officers who were trained to pilot Dai-Guard to jump in and start fight back. Unfortunately, saving the world just isn’t as easy as it looks, especially when you have to deal with damage forms, expense accounts and a thrifty board of directors.

Le Chevalier d’Eon parody episode 13
On the boat to England, d’Eon sits in his cabin, contemplating his sword. Durand enters.
Durand: What’s done is done- there’s no point regretting the people you’ve slept with after the fact.
D’Eon: I know that, but still…so many of the people I have had HARD GAY with have died. All I am left with is my bloodstained ‘sword’. Continue Reading »

Kanon Harem Diaries Part 16
Yuuichi
I think I have exhausted all the possibilities that Mai and Sayuri have to offer me; our late night encounters were fun, but really, how long can a man go without sleep? I must now turn my attention to a quieter and more easy to please woman; perhaps Shiori, since she may be dying soon, I must get all the use I can out of her before she passes away.

Tuesday Rumble: January 23rd
Spoiler alert: mild spoilers for Death Note vol. 8 and beyond, major spoiler for Higurashi seventh arc (beyond the anime).
Although I firmly hope that I can find time for it, there may not be a Tuesday Rumble next week, since on the 30th I should be travelling over a hundred miles from home for an interview (if only my laptop had a working battery so I could use it on the way).
Death Note A-K
First there was L, then we discovered that L had been training two potential successors- Mello (M) and Near (N). As some might have wondered, however, did anything come before L, or did the dynasty randomly start in the middle of the alphabet? Continue Reading »
