"In the year 2675, intergalactic exploration has reached new heights. Alien species commingle between solar systems in matters of science, trade, military, and socialization. Higashi Yumi has grown up within this world and is pursuing a degree in interstellar archaeological sciences when the discovery is made: an abandoned solar system on the outskirts of explored …

“Band of Brothers: This is going to take me like 17 years.” (Or, A Sane Person’s Commentary on “Brothers Conflict” – dub)

Enjoying this title should probably be considered shameful if the number of times I shouted, "WHY ARe yoU DoING THat ShE's YOuR SisTER!?!" is any indication. In Brother's Conflict (hereafter referred to as BroCon), protagonist Ema (also referred to as "Chi") is thrust into a new family dynamic when her father gets remarried after many years of …

Watch Along: Marmalade Boy, ep. 5 (DUB)

If that last episode preview was anything to go by... Does that robot record everything? I feel like this will be a filler episode. Ginta is so impatient. Yuu stepped out at just the right moment. Yuu is kinda pissed, but he's just being so him about it. Yuu just looks at Ginta like, "This …

Watch Along: Marmalade Boy, ep. 4 (DUB)

This is obviously a quality program. 100/10. Spoilers Ahoy! I physically need Yuu to find out. I LOVE how Ginta's VA narrated his line on the title card. Also, you could say she's being treated like an object, but I honestly love that line, just sayin'. WAS GINTA VOICED BY SOMEONE IN BOYS OVER FLOWERS? …

Watch Along: Marmalade Boy, Ep. 3 (DUB)

  Clearly it's time for episode 3. Let's light this candle! Spoilers Ahoy!! (I keep saying that and now I want chocolate chip cookies.) I've given enough commentary on the 90s way that this intro mashed Tamaki and Tuxedo mask into the form of teenage Yuu, so I'm going to stop now. Clearly, blue haired …

Watch Along: Marmalade Boy, Ep. 2 (DUB)

Well, here we go again! Jumping right in~! Spoilers ahoy! The pure 90s of the opening still has me going. Why can't I have a tennis outft like that? What does "ichiban" mean?" OMG, that's right, HE KISSED HER. These titles remind me of the formatting for Pokemon Indigo League. Again, WHO DESIGNED THOSE UNIFORMS?? Such …

Watch Along: Ouran High School Host Club, Ep. 9 (DUB)

Blogger's Note: This is the second recording that my friend, Ginger, and I made together. It was so fun having a guest for the Watch Along, and she's really come to think that Ouran is pretty darn awesome. I mean, who wouldn't right? I have not listened to it yet, so I have no idea …

Watch Along: Ouran High School Host Club, Ep. 7 (DUB)

Blogger’s Note: This Twitter thing is working out better than I expected, which is to say that I actually Tweet and people know I’m not dead between blog posts. 😀 Jungle Pool SOS! [Spoilers Ahoy!] I love this song. WHAT DO YOU MEAN “THIS SHOW AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th," NETFLIX? WHAT??? WHAT!??!? Considering Vampire Knight …

Watch Along: Ouran High School Host Club, Ep. 6 (DUB)

Blogger’s note: I write to you from my new “office” in our new house! *bum bum bum!!!* I say “office” because it is JUST as much a play space as a work space, but you catch my drift. SO WHITE AND PINK AND FLUFFY AND GIRLY AND FULL OF BOOKS AND ANIME~~~~~~! This whole moving …

Let’s Talk About “Kamisama Kiss” (DUB/SUB)–HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The scene is set! "High school student, Nanami Momozono--otherwise known as the protagonist of this story. As you can see, ordinarily darling Nanami is possessed of a lively beauty, but right now she appears to be rather worn out, as they say. And who could blame her? Unfortunately, Nanami's father loves to gamble, therefore their …
