Sorry for the lack of updates this week, but I just haven't found the time or energy to blog and it'll probably be that way for another week as I'm busy with other things. I should be back posting again by the 21st though and I shall play catch up with everything then!

Just a few random thoughts for the day. 1) I'm "contemplating" moving to wordpress, mainly for the functionality. Although I am a little put off by the prospect of moving my entire blog archive over to it.2) I've "cleaned up" a few comments on the index sections of my blog. If your comments deleted it's not that I hate you or you've done anything wrong they were just getting a bit crowded and

I first hear of Oniisama E a few years ago but never really paid the show much attention because (like Rose Of Versailles) I thought "pffft it's old it'll be crap" (my newbie anime fan mind at this point classed old as "pre EVA"). Obviously I have proved myself a total idiot by this point in time as I'm finding plenty of older shows at the moment far more fun than the crap that has limped out of

New OP. It's sweet it's cheerful, its probably slightly more crap than the last one. Still it has a good AmanexHikari part in it's animation. Hooray!So here we have the episode following up Yaya kissing Hikari last week. I thought there would be lots of angst, lots of drama and it would be entertaining. Sadly it didn't turn out this way. In what is probably my least favourite StoPani episode so

Ah at last an episode of Simoun to indulge my Morinas fangirlism, she (and presumably eventually he after Morinas has her fountain choice revealed) hasn't particularly done much in the series except provide a temporary rival for Aeru in episode three and hang around with Wapourif. So anyway, this week just so happens to focus on Morinas and Wapourif as well as the more non-relationship based part

Better late than never! Here's my entry on Simoun 13 where Neviriru and Aeru finally begin to get some development between them as a couple although things don't go entirely the way Aeru would like. Does this mean this episode brings up another dose of yuri fuelled angst? Of course it does!First things first, "Commander Dominura" (calling her that as quite frankly she makes every single decision

Ah, Spica, Spica, the school where the characters are actually interesting and there's.. y'know what's it called? ..Oh yes! A PLOT buried under the endless procession of yuri cliches.So it is time for "evil plan mark II" for Kaname and Momomi this week as they set to bring apart our prince and princess of Spica in the forms of Amane and Hikari. The fact that their plan turns out to be pretty much

Better late than never, it's been a week since the concluding episode of Joshi Kousei aired, so here are my concluding thoughts on the series as well as quick summaries for the eleventh and twelfth installments.Episode 11This episode focuses primarily on Eriko as she goes through a course of being beautified so she can impress a guy she had a crush on long, long ago back when she was very young.

So anyway, yep, this is it. Everyone probably knows by now as I'm late blogging this episode but this is the SP episode where Shizuma finally gets her talons into Nagisa and manages to pull off a kiss without them being interrupted by a leaf blowing in one of their eyes or something. Now that's out the way, I'll also say while it wasn't my favourite SP episode it is probably the one most

This week on Simoun we have a Kaimu and Alti story! Just what happened between them? It's "A Tale Of Two Sisters", except with incest, and no ghosts... and animated... and erm.. well it's nothing like it at all really.The girls are in the mess hall after just hearing that Dominura has decided to pair Kaimu and Alti with each other as she feels it's good for the team. Evidently Kaimu is a bit

Been marginally busier than normal this week and a little under the weather so haven't had a chance to update properly for a few days. Rest assured I will catch up with things over the next few days, so expect Simoun tomorrow (Thursday morning UK time), a double bill of Joshi Kousei and Strawberry Panic 12 soon to follow as well.

Ah it's that time of year yet again the time when all those anime blogs out there do their Summer Season preview! With July looming ever close and another deluge of shows about to be released I thought it high time I looked through the shows in detail to see if there's any that catch my eye. Unfortunately for the first time in a while, there's certainly no titles coming that scream "watch me" and

Another week, another slice of Strawberry Panic cheese. This week it's time for sun, sea, surf and Tamao being more stalkerish than she has ever been so far.So the girls are off to summer school, and everyone is very excited with the exception of our heroine Nagisa who looks pretty miserable. What's that Nagisa? Shizuma isn't there? And you feel sad? Well if you had half a brain-cell perhaps you

Another week, another excellent episode of Simoun. This show is really spoiling us and this week it comes first in my blogging list! This episode focuses on Furoe a fair amount as she attatches herself to a young male soldier. However, this episode also shows the series darker side yet again, as we get a closer look at the war.It's fairly obvious that Mamiina and Rodoreamon are going to end up as

Here are my thoughts on episode 11-20 of Rose Of Versailles, still enjoying this series a great deal and highly recommend it to those looking for some good drama who have overlooked older shows. These nine episodes have only really continued to hook me in to the setting. Rosalie becoming a more prominent character was also a nice touch as she turns out to be a rather interesting individual going

Despite this being a blog focusing mainly on yuri I realized the other day that I have never actually listed my favourite pairings of girlxgirl relationships in anime. So yep, this is what your getting as the first part of my weekly thoughts this week "Mangaminx's Top 10 Yuri Pairings". Please bare in mind for some of these pairings there may well be not much concrete evidence (or any for that

It's the exam time of the year and poor Nagisa is in a spot of trouble as she needs to pass her French exam which is a subject she isn't very good at. But don't worry Nagisa-chan! Help is at hand! This weeks Strawberry Panic is entitled "Private Lessons" which makes the show sound like a hentai means Shizuma is on hand to help teach Nagisa French! Yes the Etoile's job seems to include helping

The Corp Tempus settle into their new base this week where Neviriru may be onto Dominura scheming and Mamiina and Rodoreamon enter "petty angst" mode. The girls all have to share the same room together on-board their new smaller base ship. Considering the amount of contrasting personalities in the squad this certainly seems like a recipe for disaster in my eyes, but all seems to be going fairly

Lack of updates this week are down to me being busier than usual these past few days. Simoun 10 and Strawberry Panic 10 are both watched and posts for them should appear either tonight or tomorrow (GMT). Anyway, this weeks Joshi Kousei surprised me by being one that went off on a completely different slant to any of the manga content I'd read and delves into Ayano's lengthy named boyfriend's (no

More than four episodes in three days is incredibly fast for me when it comes to anime watching, but I've watched far more than just four of the fantastically fantastic Rose Of Versailles in that time. Yes it's old, yes many people have seen it before me but I like it so much I just have to blog it! The fact that the title is old, and yet so much better than a lot of shows I have been watching

First off, I'll apologize for the lack of a "weekly thoughts" last week, but I was being whisked off into the big wide world of anime conventions (well at the very least conventions with anime in them) and didn't have time to write one. This week however my ramblings have returned. Nothing that exciting to write about this week, but after suffering a bit of a burnout on anime and manga for the

My last post on the subject of Claymore, was pretty much a rant about my view that Shounen Jump as a franchise was crap, but oddly enough Claymore (which most people seem to deem as one of the worst SJ titles) was the first one I'd actually found at all entertaining. Judging by the angry e-mails I got from a few fuming Naruto fans after I "dare" criticize the bestest magazine on the planet, I

This week on Simoun: Dark secret plots, Corp Tempus is doomed?, and a fair share of aerial action.Unlike last week where we saw the Corp Tempus taking off from the stricken Arcus Prima this episode rewinds a bit as we see them rush through the vessel to their Simoun's Neviriru taking the lead as they run through the carnage. Neviriru once again shows the strength of her character here (now she

Kouda Akari is dying? Surely not! But in the ninth episode of High School Girls' this is certainly what everybody else thinks. Week after week I cannot help but compare the anime to the manga, sometimes this works in the anime's favour and sometimes it doesn't. This weeks episode however was an improvement over the rather brief manga chapter it is based on. As I said, Kouda is dying, or

Umbrellas are officially gay. They appear to be the source of many a fantasy for Chiyo and Tamao in this eighth installment of Strawberry Panic. This episode conjured up a well of emotions in me, I felt gladness that a character that I once hated wasn't quite as annoying as I put her down to be, I felt my heartstrings tugged as poor Yaya pined for her love, and I developed a strong psychotic urge

Late post, and I'll be keeping it brief this week as I'm pretty tired just my general thoughts on the episode. First of it's time to say that Simoun has once again delivered an episode better than all it's previous ones. There's angsting, flashback, the most action so far and Neviriru finally getting off her backside and rising to the occasion. If you were put off by episode one I'm going to use

Not a that entertaining episode and once again the creators pick one of my least favourite manga chapters for anime adaptation. This week we get a flashback to the girls pasts, the first half of the episode focusing on a younger Eriko, Yuma and Ayano (how they became friends), the second half focusing on Kouda, Ogawa and Himeji's pasts with Himeji finding a rather unlikely love to overcome a

What makes a good and bad yuri content in anime or manga? I've been thinking about that quite a bit this week. There is a lot of yuri out there and quite a lot of it isn't the most deepest of things around, I watch (and read) a lot of yuri it's true and while there plenty of it I enjoy there's only a few titles I find that are really "Wow, Great!!!". So after careful thought on the matter I've

The seventh installment of Strawberry Panic is here! And we focus mainly on Spica! Hooray!Zomg they are like SO evil. They put in a brief appearance earlier in the series but these two are officially "baddies" in the StoPani world. The black haired Kaname manages to fill the first "psychotic lesbian" position in the cast. Her "roommate", Momomi (pictured with her above), certainly manages to show

The seventh installment of Simoun while not being quite as brilliant as last weeks episode continues what I feel is a stunning series with the addition of yet another new cast member, some good drama and a smidgen of action. I feel that this is a key episode as Neviriru and Aeru begin to make some progress in liking each other (even if this isn't going to bare any fruit at this point in time).

It was almost too hard not to go into fits of laughter as I wrote the post for this weeks installment of Joshi Kousei, let alone while watching the episode itself. This episode of the anime took a good mix of content I was familiar with from the manga and stuff I hadn't seen before (baring in mind as always I have yet to read the seventh manga installment so I suppose the "new" content might be

Wow, I've made it to my second ever ""Weekly Thoughts" piece, it is a monumental occasion and I'm rather glad I have stuff to write about based largely on the fact that some really interesting points have been raised in the blogging community this week. So anyway, without further ado here are my thoughts on the anime related week!A week ago (yeh, sometimes I have trouble remembering back that far

Ever since the days of watching Sailor Moon I have loved magical girl shows, although to be fair the majority of efforts for them in recent years haven't exactly been to my tastes.

Posting this post earlier than I intended to post it as I'm not going to be busy tomorrow (job interview *bites nails*). Once again it's a yuri filled ride into the three gayest schools in known existence, we get more clues about Shizuma's character, we get giant syringes (*faints*) and the show confirms that in anime archery is the sport of lesbians.I'm not sure if it's just me but archery crops

Once again seeing as I'd seen all of Otome before any of these Hime episodes I'm probably coming at it from a different viewpoint than most fans. The fact that I find myself comparing the entire cast to their Otome counterparts (and while I prefer the Hime storyline and action sequences I still slightly prefer some of the Otome character incarnations of the cast at this point) is probably

I really, really dislike this part of the manga. I really do. The chapters covered by last weeks episode and this weeks are the Joshi Kousei equivalent of watching paint dry for me. The series (both manga and anime) in my opinion just needs to steer clear of doing drama. Part of what I love about this series is the fact it is so over the top, crude and generally as foul as it possibly can be. If

Simoun | Episode 06 | Wounds And PainWhile I usually blog Joshi Kousei first this weeks episode bored me quite a bit, so Simoun is the series to be blogged first as this episode was just great! Lots of angst, a smidgen of action and quite a bit of yuri.Neviriru is really tormented by the loss of Amuria still, at the start of this episode we are shown the restless Neviriru deeply affected by the

I've decided my blog needs a weekly round up of my general views and thoughts on the anime related things in the week. Usually I'll do this on a Sunday, but doing it earlier this week as I probably won't have time tomorrow.The "hot topic" within the blogging community right now (after a discussion on Blogsuki) seems to be the over-saturation of anime blogs. In that there are lots of blogs

Meido Strawberry Panic | Episode 05 | Little Sisters After seeing the title for the fifth installment of Strawberry Panic at the end of episode 5 I was more than a little nervous. With a title like "Little Sisters" and with characters such as Chiyo in the ranks of the school first years I was expecting to be subjected to cries of "ONEE-SAMA" that only a dog can hear. As I settled down to watch

Firstly, sorry for the lack of updates of late I've been rather busy and only just found the time (and been in a writing mood) till today. But anyway without further interruption here are my thoughts on Episode 5 of Simoun "White Solitude".This episode is pretty much lots of character development for Rimone, last post I made it clear that I really didn't like Rimone (despite her seiyuu's

On this weeks installment of High School Girl's, Eriko is traumatized by swimming class, Yuma's evil sister makes her debut and erm... yurified pubic hair removal...It's swimming class, which evidently in this series means fanservice, although I didn't think it was quite as bad as the first two episodes (the second half of the episode is actually fanservice free!). But anyway, as it's swim class

Ah, time once again for one of my rare live-action entries. Ab-normal Beauty takes us into the more than a little sick world of photographing death, and features people jumping off buildings, men in gimp masks beating people to death with lead pipes and some of the most truly bizarre camerawork I've seen in a live-action film (baring in mind that I barely watch any of course!)Jin is your average

Strawberry Panic | Episode 04 | You On The White Horse The fourth episode of Strawberry Panic introduces another three characters fully, as well as doing everything it can to make a yurified (I'm starting to love that word) "handsome prince" type story. Who is the prince in question do you ask? Well that would be Amane Ootori from the white uniformed Spica school, and her princess (at least for

Things take a more serious tone in the fourth installment of Simoun, as Aeru and Rimone meet the enemy face to face.Aeru shows off her "hotheaded heroine" skillsz here as she and Morinas take to the skies flying their Simoun on an unauthorized flight. Unfortunately for Morinas she doesn't seem to be quite as skilled a pilot as Aeru and is holding her back more or less. Their maneuvers become

Hooray! My favourite characters from the Joshi Kousei manga finally put in their first (hopefully first of many) appearance in the anime! My faith in Joshi Kousei is restored another step.On the right we have Mouri-san and on the left Koshiba-san (Nao). In the manga these two provide the bulk of the yuri moments from volume 5 onwards by being very suggestive with each other as much as possible.

Considering I'm relatively new to anime, the fact that Battle Athletes Victory began airing in 1997 makes it pretty "old" by my standards. The character designs struck me as almost being "retro" which shows what a newbie I am in the world of anime. Anyway, BAV isn't exactly my usual type of show I tend to avoid the shounen "work harder and do better" type things, mainly as they tend to get a bit

It's not usually the type of things I would blog, but hey I thought I'd be a little different. Lots of violence, gallons of blood, a light sprinkling of nudity, some incredibly crap lead characters and sis-con all mixed together produce TOKKO!

Poor, poor Joshi Kousei. It's taken quite a lot of flack since the first episode aired, and after sitting through an episode where the only gags were face sitting and pubic hair I'm inclined to agree that is debut was awful. The fanservice was of a particularly nasty variety through episode one (and fairly so in episode two), the sort of Najica/Ikki Tousen zoom in's that make you think you may be

I hate Shounen Jump. I do, I really, really do. I don't care how it's titles have increased manga popularity I still hate it. I'm not just talking of the magazine here but the general franchises. I know many people out there love Bleach and Naruto but I would rather be strapped to a chair and forced to watch Hamtaro for eternity rather than watch another episode of either of them even once (and

Strawberry Panic | Episode 02 | Etoile Another day, another incredibly yuri-fied episode of Strawberry Panic. Simoun may have most same sex kissing this season but Strawberry Panic is far, far more eager to parade just how outrageously gay it is. Simoun has depth, Strawberry panic has none. But it doesn't stop this second installment being just as hilarious as the first. Nagisa (called her Aoi

Having never blogged episode 01 of the show but finding myself totally surprised I was enjoying it and actually seeing potential for *gasp* yuri in a show that is a bit of a bishy harem I decided to stick with it.So along came episode 02 of Ouran High School Host Club.

I wasn't that keen on the first episode of Joshi Kousei, it wasn't particularly funny, the manga had been altered into a far less entertaining form and it really was a rather crap introduction to the series. But don't be afraid, for episode 2 is here and a faithful manga adaptation of an episode at that! It's time for the terrifying truth behind school health checks to be revealed, what terrors

Hope you enjoy your stay.Seeing as she didn't get much screentime last week here is our lead (Who I'm still calling Aeru due to ANN) in a few of what seem to be her stereotypical poses.

Ray has had a horrific childhood, she was raised in a place that breeds people to become organ doners. In Ray's case it was her eyes that were taken! Fortunately

While not the most fantastic show in the world, I have really enjoyed Kasimasi throughout the eleven episode I've seen. It's nice! It's sweet! It has levels of angst and drama I haven't experienced in quite a while! Sure it's not perfect but considering it's the only show from the last season I have actually stuck with watching, I certainly consider it better than the rest of January's

The fifth and sixth volumes of Joshi Kousei are without a doubt my favourite two in the series. This is probably definitely down to the appearance of the "yuri couple" which this series has really needed from the start and finally gets here. Mouri-san and Koshiba-san are "best friends" who seem to be a lot more than that and also seem to delight in teasing others about this fact to the point

Mai Otome | Episode 24 | For Your Sake... As the majority of people probably know by now this is the episode that sets things up for the (hopefully full of fighting but I'm not holding my breath) two part conclusion next week! So we have two characters dying! Yay! One gets put in a coma! Yay! Oh and it's implied Sergey and Nina sleep together... No yay for that as it throws what remenants of

The third and fourth volumes of High School Girls reveal the true horrors of being Ayano's boyfriend (that is, meeting her family), the truth behind how terrible school health check really is and Eriko is scarred for life when she see's something very hairy...I really love this series, and by the time I got around to reading these two volumes I was totally hooked. I really, love nearly everything

Joshi Kousei (which has an anime launching in April), is the tales of the misadventures of a group of high school students. Each chapter of the manga's follow them through their school life and through their increasingly crude and hilarious exploits. It's a rather unique and different look at life in an all girls school.The cast of the series are very much your usual school cliques, with their

Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ | Episode 11 | The Things That Disappear From Those Eyes For a start, I'm just going to say I'm fed up of doing summaries, there are many blogs out there that do a far better job of it than me. So when it comes to blogging episodes now I'm going to just talk more about what I think of the events!Can the angst level be pushed any further? I thought the earlier episodes

I love the Joshi Kousei manga, one of my all time favourites on the hilarity level (I shall blog the manga as a whole soon). The anime premieres on the 3rd April, but for now here are a few screenshots from the trailer.First impressions? Well it's nice to see the main female cast is all present for sure, Eriko, Yuma, Ayano, Kouda, Himeji and Ogawa all get an appearance in the trailer. The male

Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ | Episode 10 | A Small Storm It seems that last episode was the "calm before the storm" as the tenth installment of Kasimasi sets about destroying the Tomari and Yasuna alliance, and all because of a simple under-standing. While I had been enjoying the show as a sort of light entertainment for the past few episodes, this episode see's a welcome return of the past angst

Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ | Episode 09 | May These Wishes Come True I must say to be traumatized by a moment in your childhood where you spent ages picking which candy floss flavour you wanted then ended up not having any as a result is pretty pathetic. Hazumu may be one of the most cry baby characters I've seen for a while, but this episode of the anime really reinforces it. You didn't get

Mai Otome | Episode 23 | Arika Of The Mysterious Valley It's ok, it's ok fanboys (and girls) of Hime's heroine can now sit back and relax. Mai is here! Fortunately Sunrise use this comeback episode to pretty much do as little as possible dispelling the previous episodes excitement rather speedily. But we do find out how the princess is, and who Rena's daughter is so there is a bit of plot! Also

Madlax is a series I see fairly endlessly being bashed. I seem to be one of the few who actually think its better than Noir, in fact I'd venture to say its now my third favourite anime of all time (behind Maria-Sama Ga Miteru and Kaleido Star), and is certainly better than the drivel I feel Bee Train are putting out lately. Much as I love Noir I can now safely say (after wavering a bit over disc

ADV have taken ages to finally getting around to releasing this in R1 format, but fortunately seeing as I only really got into Kaleido Star at the end of last year then I didn't have an agonizing wait for the discs that some people probably experienced. My fangirl fix of episodes 32-35 is now here and it's as good as ever, but mainly reminded me just how much I want to strangle Leon and May. They

I'm aware that this show is a few years old or so now, but I just recently watched it myself, and was surprised just how much I liked it. So I just had to do a blog post on it! I apologize in advance for quite a few of the screencaps focusing on Ayaka, but 90% of the time if Megumi Toyoguchi voices a character it's the type of character I will go into fangirl mode over and Ayaka is no

To much angsting in a shack, not enough action! But still it's good!Y'know I'm getting a bit sick of doing "clinical" reviews when it comes to writing up DVD content. I don't particularly care about what's on the DVD itself extras wise etc. Nor am I interested in summarizing the entire set of episodes (that's what my individual episode posts are for!) so from now on I'm just going to do lots of

Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ | Episode 08 | Just WatchingVoyeurism seems to be the name of the game when it comes to Ayuki. So far in Kasimasi her achievements as a character involve pushing Tomari into competing for Hazumu (gently of course), being a good friend to all, and doing a really good job of looking like Thelma from Scooby Doo. I half expect her to say "jinkys" this episode actually,

Mai Otome | Episode 22 | Song Of Destruction Wow, I mean really, all this time I thought Otome wasn't really that good at explosive battle sequences then a lot of them all come round at once in what is by far the most action packed and arguably the best episode in the series so far. So much happens in this episode and its well paced and has plot development too. So lets jump straight in to what

"There's a legend which claims that if you count aloud 28 steps to the school dormitory, a 29th stair appears and a spirit will grant you a wish." Ah I'm feeling in the mood for one of my rare live action posts. As you can tell by the blurb above (taken from the DVD case) Wishing Stairs (or Yeogo Goedam 3 if you prefer) is a story of magical stairs that grant a wish! What the blurb doesn't tell

Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ | Episode 07 | Let's Go To The Beach Having "beach" in the title of an anime episode, tends to guarantee some of the following:- 1) Ecchiness, 2) Nosebleeds 3) A good chance that the episode is based on the beach. While this episode of Kasimasi misses out the nosebleed element, there's mild comic ecchiness and of course the beach itself as Hazumu and her friends head

Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ | Episode 06 | Bride And GroomWhile the angst level for the sixth episode of Kasimasi (or Kashimashi of course), doesn't quite have the mind blowing levels I expected it to (certainly not as much as previous episodes), it does manage to provide a healthy dosage. The three leads need to be a bit more careful in controlling their emotions or falling into the domain of

Rozen Maiden Traumend This is the second show in recent months that has a preoccupation with the name "Alice". Thankfully Rozen Maiden Traumend does not have key rape, incestuous subtext and obsessive girls drooling on cookies although it does have a character with bunny ears! (albeit a male one). Anyway that's enough comparisons to Kagahime as I fear my recurring nightmares about the show may

Jigoku Shoujo | Episode 11 | Cut String Ah I always said Hajime was a seedy guy, so its certainly appropriate (to me anyway) that the first case of revenge he becomes involved in covers the illicit world of scandal and the press.
