Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 1 Spring Part II

Day 16 My hard work yesterday came with a price when I was unable to wake up until 8am this morning. Fortunately, my mood soon lifted when I saw that the rain had cleared up, and after pottering about with the crops, I swiftly headed into town to spend my hard-earned gold. I had meant [...]

Weekly Round-Up: Better late than never edition

Apologies for the sudden and unannounced hiatus; I know many of you will have experienced unpleasant withdrawal symptoms due to a lack of your daily Azure Flame, but I must assure you that this period has been equally painful for me as well. Due to a recent bout of gale force winds, some local power [...]

Bee Train: All stills and not much else?

The camera pans over a beautifully rendered yet ultimately motionless background, a melancholy Yuki Kajiura tune plays in the background…what else could it be other than a Bee Train anime? Famous (or perhaps infamous) for their distinctive “minimal motion” style, Bee Train’s output may be small, but they have stuck around for almost a decade- [...]

Chevalier Alternative 18 Part II

“Everyone, let’s put our differences aside and cross swords for old times’ sake.”

Chevalier Alternative 18 Part I

Due to the sheer volume of images used in this parody, I have had to split it into two parts. Part II will appear tomorrow. Dashwood may have won the first round, but with the main characters now arrayed against him, can even the key item Book save him from the fate of a typical [...]

Tuesday Rumble: January 16th

Yesterday I just happened to be messing about in the WordPress admin section when I noticed this great post on how to annoy people using instant messaging. It’s rare that I find something so hilarious that I wish I had written it myself, but this just hit the spot- not least because I’ve been on [...]

Kanon Harem Diaries Part 15

Entry 15 Yuuichi Mai, I knew you loved me, but I never once imagined that your feelings for me were so strong that you had to create monsters to express your passion for my perfection.

Lament of the Lamb (Hitsuji no Uta)

“We aren’t wolves lurking among the lambs. We’re lambs with wolves’ fangs…with wolves’ hunger.” Kazuna Takashiro always thought he was a normal high school student- until the day the sight of his friend’s blood red paint awakened strange urges in him. Bizarre as these cravings are, they also awaken memories of his father’s old house [...]

Busou Renkin 14: Six minutes of recap and seventeen minutes of Pleasure

It’s a hard life being a Shounen Jump character; just when you want to get down to the action, you have to stand around recapping what happened in the last episode. Perhaps it’s just as well to give Kazuki a breather, however, for his next opponent may just be the most HARD GAY one yet… [...]

Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 1 Spring Part I

Day 1 Hello, my name is Anton, and I have just inherited my grandfather’s farm in Mineral Town. I didn’t actually ask for or even want this farm; however I once stayed with the old man during the summer, and it seems that makes me the most qualified to take over this run down old [...]
