Just noticed the 1st 2 eps of "Six Hearts Princess", which looks like a worthy addition to the magic girl genre.
Confusing info about it on the 'net, tho.

I have always greatly admired CS Lewis's defense of fairy tales and children's literature. I think, had he lived long enough to know of them, he'd have felt the same about magical girls. You don't have to give up little girl stuff when you become a big girl, Moeko. Never stop dreaming. My defence c...

Can't believe I'm still watching the hackneyed & apathetic "Kenja no Mago", but I get a kick out of hearing the hero's girlfriend's name "Sizilien". She ain't lean and has no sizzle, but reminds me of '80's Sizzlean bacon: https://www.brandedinthe80s.com/6466/and-i-aint-faking-ill-bring-home-the-tur...

I see Maiden Japan has come out with the original 1984 "Glass Mask" eps. There was a remake in 2005, complete but, IMHO, sadly inferior.

It's good to see old classics coming to the US.

I see Amazon has Battle Programmer Shirase for preorder. I never thought BPS would make it to the states. It came out in 2004 and consists of 15 short eps. It's a favorite of mine; very cute & sweet.

Pings hair looks like it's changing color, getting lighter, in real time, right in front of the fox girls. So the whole they don't notice she's a robot, or wouldn't believe it if they were told stuff may be over. It's cute in the comic. It would be dumbfounding in person. As for missing parts. Afte...

Ping has an amazing ability to change her body, so even if she is a "non-H" model, she may be able to manifest everything needed for physical love, if she is indeed missing some. If the missing parts are emotional, she has already exceeded her creator's design specs in that area. So; not an insurmou...

Well y'know, one of the defining charactistics of evil is treating people as things. In war, it manifests as dehumanizing the enemy. In that respect, Gero is mega-evil in that he is intent on creating as many 'daughters' ('cause that is what they would be called if biological) as possible and sellin...

Clearly, the doctor is an overachiever. Fanboys & girls are not that hard to please, given their obsession with 2D characters. Passed the Turing test, no prob.

Apparently we were also right that his only true interest in Junko is as a research subject. Since he's obviously led Junko on, and that in turn has led to Ping's present crisis, I think just being Junko's "type" and being interested in her (asking questions) would be enough to pique her interest. ...

... so dr. Gero might be tempted to see how "real" Ping's reactions are and he is uniquely qualified to succeed, having designed her. I have faith in Fred that he won't get that far, tho.

Patreon members have access to high resolution copies of each comic, and I think I remember in one of the Twitch streams him saying that they would be able to read it. Are there any of your that don't mind pulling them up and satisfying our burning curiosity? Sorry, Max zoom of the Highres download...

I would've liked to have known the text on Ashe's phone.... :' ) Is it just me, or does the old man give off a "Piro, only older" vibe? I could see Piro doing the exact same thing in an alternate universe. I need one of those detective-show ultra-magnification programs and a decent Japanese transla...

Kickstarter has a project by Nozomi going for a Bluray dub of "Emma A Victorian Romance", S1. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/160939828/lets-dub-emma-a-victorian-romance-anime-tv-series I ante'ed up tho subs & dvd's are usually fine with me unless there's so much action there's no time to read ...

Watched a couple of Chinese anime: "Creatures Family Days; Shiyan Pin Jiating; Jikkenhin Kazoku" was OK, but the end was strangely truncated - if they only had another 5 min? "Bai Ye Ling Long" is cute, but forgettable.

Yes, "Tenrou Sirius the Jaeger" is pretty good so far.

On further thought, we're just going with the flow. The adult response should be to prevent this obviously ill-considered plan instead of helping. Dunno what they could do, given the circumstances, but any help is just wrong.

OK, I guess there's going to be a Ping makeover? She could do a much more radical job herself, if she knew what type the old guy likes. Maybe her subroutines will kick into action. I'm trusting Fred will not let this get out of hand...

Read vol. 5 of "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected", light novel. I don't usually think much of light novels, but this one is much better than average. Similar to my highschool self, except for the 2 beautiful clubmates. I would also like an opinion on the 2nd half of "Toji no Miko". I...

All of a sudden, I'm seeing Malaysian DUBBED versions of very recent anime (Dragon Maid & Hinamatsuri). Fast pirates?

Read vols 28 & 29 of "Kimi ni Todoke". One more vol. until the end. This has been a great series and I wish they'd finish the anime, too. The story seemed anticlimactic for awhile after the girl got the guy halfway thru, but then the author started telling the stories of her 2 female BFF's. Due to m...

All this after Ping made such a noble statement many moons ago about not getting into hentai as part of the game. That that part was reserved for herself. This may be the human condition, tho: One sometimes has to do bad stuff to find out it's bad. Even if this is just a setup for the grand comedic ...

Doesn't Fred have enuf misc art for an artbook (or 2)?

Yeah, the vid quality is nice on "Liked", but I started to re-watch it and thought "Well, maybe I can just watch the last 5 min." because the 2nd title *is supposed to be* the sequel.

Trying to fit together the puzzle pieces of 3 anime that are apparently connected: I've Always Liked You The Moment You Fall in Love Our Love has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart I saw the first months ago (largely forgotten now) and the sequel was supposed to be out 6 months later, which it apparen...

Picked up vol 1 of "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected" light novel & was *very* pleasantly surprised. Enough to order vols 2 & 3. The anime is a faithful adaptation, it seems. Just finished catching up on "Princess Jellyfish" vol 16 & found that there has been a 1 1/2 year hiatus in t...
