Continuing right where we left off with Sakamichi. Sorry for the gap between this post and the last, I was busy at an anime convention, there’ll be more regular updates on this series analysis going [...]

Here I am, staring at my piano and practicing the moves. [[MORE]] This is an introduction on how conservative Sentarou and Yurika are.  …or maybe not. Either way, he lost his tooth. Nothing. I just watch you tied on the statue. @Solidad: “You won’t see these kinds of scenes [referring to the Sunday Church scene] on anime. In anime, Churches has been stereotypically connected to hot nuns.” Another Jazz musician reference - Elvin Jones. We also saw Junichi Katsuragi. I can’t stop tapping my fingers!

When Kaoru was pulled in by a bunch of troublesome guys who’re not telling him why, Sentarou came in to the rescue without second doubt (well because [...]

Another great episode this week. Looks like this will probably bee one of the best anime this season without a doubt. So Kaoru is somehow obsessed with piano now, thanks to Sentarou. As you would have guessed he is trying to impress Ritsuko and probably wanted to surprise Sentarou at the same time. Sentarou is [...]

Fear exists in every anime and it manifests itself in varying forms depending on the genre and the characters.
