Azure Flame Reloaded

Hijikata has his photograph taken.

(Hijikata: By placing a personals ad, I might actually find a man who is interested in good old HARD GAY.)

Hijikata: Hey, Tetsunosuke, wouldn’t you like your photo taken too?

Tetsunosuke: Sir, placing an ad is just too embarrassing.

Hijikata: Hmm, well I suppose you don’t need a new partner anyway, since you already have me.

Hijikata goes inside to see Akidzuki. Continue Reading »

When Nadie and Ellis run into the character of the week, a lack of other options force them to contemplate BI with him- but after BI, Ellis begins to consider taking the next step and going all the way to STRAIGHT. Can Nadie be convinced to try this radical type of Pleasure?

“Is it me, or did they use this footage last episode?” Continue Reading »

Hello and welcome to another edition of Sunday News Bites. This week, we are joined in the newsroom by Romeo X Juliet’s Tybalt, who kindly took a break from riding his HORSE to offer insights on this week’s breaking and not-so-breaking stories.

Do you hack .hack?
.hack fans should be pleased to learn that Tokyopop has picked up three of the four new manga series- GU+ (a companion to the GU games), GnU (a tale of minor characters in The World:r2) and 4Koma. Whilst GU+ was reasonably enjoyable and 4Koma ranged between the dire and the amusing, I haven’t read enough of GnU to form a proper opinion on it, although overall these three series don’t stand out enough for me to want to buy them. I may have once been a .hack fangirl, but with the coming of the second generation material, I’m more wary of buying every piece of merchandise with the .hack name on it. Continue Reading »

On a British ship, Parkes berates the chess piece team.

Parkes: Your BI is awful- simply awful! And as for you, Kanna- I should have never let you handle my Liang! I’m thoroughly disappointed in all of you!

On deck, Kanna contemplates his watch, whilst Queen gets drunk.

(Kanna: How dare Parkes say such things about me? My Liang is far more Zhuge than his!) Continue Reading »

Day 16
Winter continues to be dull, and so I shall spice up today with Anton’s guide to making money. The key to big profits can be summarised with three procedures- pineapples in the summer, sweet potatoes in the autumn, and mining all year round. Once your farm is established, however, money effectively generates itself, with hothouse pineapples and cheese proving to be massive earners. Your early days will be spent in poverty, but give it a year or so and the cash will truly be rolling in.

Hijikata has brought Akidzuki back to Ezo.

Hijikata: Akidzuki, I must thank you for giving me some good old HARD GAY, but I’m not sure if bringing you here was the right idea. This is a land of BI and Ezos, neither of which are to your tastes.

Akidzuki: Don’t worry about me- there’s always Hyper Self Pleasure to fall back on. Just promise me that you won’t try to make me have BI with you. Continue Reading »

It’s a week of improvement in the anime world, as the good series remain good, and the poor ones struggle all the way up to mediocre. Can this upward trend continue, or will it all go downhill again soon? Either way, some new series should be joining us soon when the summer season gets underway.

Oh, and Dennou Coil needs more love- if you aren’t already watching it, start now or face the wrath of obese felines.

Reviewed this week: Darker than Black 9-10, Dennou Coil 5, Cazador 11, Love GetChu 8, MariMite OVA 4, Nodame 20, RxJ 10-11, SaiMono II 11, Seirei 10-11

…and in manga: Akagi 1-3, Chokotto Sister 40-1, Tsubasa 157

A few weeks ago, I finally got around to finishing Samurai 7. It took me about eighteen months to watch the series from start to finish (an indication of quality in itself), and having written reviews for the first five volumes elsewhere, I actually had no intention of blogging it- at least until I reached the somewhat nonsensical ending and realised that something just had to be said.

As Akidzuki rides back into the plot on the Stonewall- a ship designed to withstand Enomoto’s BI and Evil Stare- we go back to three months previously, where Shiranui, Zagashira and Kakashi are wandering around Ezo.

Shiranui: There are so many men with Ezos around here- no wonder Tayu has been keeping Soutetsu to herself.

Zagashira: I hate to say this, but we may have to accept that we are no longer relevant to the plot.

(Kakashi: No way! When’s my arc, then?)

Kobako and Benimaru show Kakashi what they have picked up.

Kakashi: These are rifle bullets- someone had either HARD GAY or BI around here. Continue Reading »

In the freezing snow, Hijikata tries to warm himself up with BI, whilst Enomoto practises Evil Stare.

(Enomoto: Not yet, Hijikata- save your Pleasure for me.)

In a small fishing village, Akidzuki is taken in by the family of the DOG.

Meg: Mum! A main character has washed up on our doorstep- that means we’re going to get screen time!

(Akidzuki: What’s happened? Why am I here with these minor characters?) Continue Reading »
