I think there’s only one image that perfectly encapsulates why this episode was yet another good one. Should have guessed that was why Nanyako’s hung in there for so long. The good old days, eh Uncle? [...]

I need more glorious yuri subtext (or possibly canon as far as Yukari is concerned) after the double dose of Hanayamata sweetness. “The main reason is that you’re not very feminine” Poor dear got [...]

If anything, he’s even more positive than other bloggers: The result … was for at least a couple weeks I had to really pick and choose what I watch on a Thursday – that’s often the last day I can [...]

So I’ll be heading out for my announced vacation tomorrow and I figured why not post one more eposidic. This scene made me laugh for no good reason. Watching Nat-chan randomly picking instruments [...]

While scanning quickly to add more boobies to the top rotation… he finds: Locodol was a complete waste of time. Not for me; I got 56 grabs out of it. But I can’t imagine anyone watching it and wanting [...]

As the title suggests the fourth member of Locodol finally makes her debut this week. As far as sweet moments between YukaNana go this is pretty much it for this week. Not much else to say about the [...]

Who knew mascot competitions could be this intense. An awful sight for Nanako but a wonderful moment for both Yukari and Saori. During the intense mascot competition Saori told Locodol they had to [...]

No sooner did the show get past the OP sequence Yukari once again showed her evident desire to become “more than best friends” with Nanako. Unfortunately for her their relationship is currently [...]

I’d be happy to hear what reasons everyone can think of. So Uncle Pennybags’ next plan to help the town is to introduce a mascot, Uogokoro-kun. Looks like a Quagsire to me. The girls and the audience [...]
