Although had already voiced my concerns before, am now alas forced to reiterate and emphasize the acute and inexcusable lack of screentime and plot attention to the only real star of “Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu”, Hideyoshi. Not only did we barely see any significant appearances of our beloved trap these past weeks, also starting [...]

Here’s Japanese to English translation: Warning: broken English as crappy as Arnold. Hideyoshi Kinoshita, extremely popular character from “Baka To Test No Syokanju.” OMG, though I know he is a dude! How sinful this China dress is! Especially that Chun-Li head dress! Too irresistible! Jeeze, it is even much cuter than Honkōn’s China dress! I know he [...]

Took my magazines from Kinokuniya yesterday… and saw these beautiful pinups T_T. Sad to say in the name of capitalism, they aren’t going to remain mine for long… But at least I can preserve them in digital form? Thus I went to scan them, and even though the scan quality aren’t very good (its a [...]

Sketch artist Gofu has an uncanny knack to often create art of characters from series I like or happen to watch, something which I can only rejoice. After having recently sketched the lovely girls from “So-Ra-No-Wo-To”, Gofu has drawn several excellent black and white illustrations of the irresistible trap Kinoshita Hideyoshi from “Baka To [...]

Shana by noiIt's a snowy Saturday afternoon here and it's chilling outside. Very uncommon thing as there's no snow left in my city in March, usually. However, this winter is very cold and particularly long. You have to use supporting means to endure and overcome the cold. I serve you a batch of 10 of these. They might come in handy if you're experiencing similar weather.Moriya Suwako by uenoKagami by melFinnel by sabupicture by Matsukura NemuTsuchida Satsuki by odayaBRS by Hakusekipicture of characters from Neosphere of the Deep Blue Sky by Komatsu EijiKino by rankei

His legacy includes defining a rigid class structure, building Osaka Castle, and being totally balls to the walls badass. Despite gaining near ultimate power in a society where lineage is everything, [...]

I didn’t know what to expect, but it does maintain that very sweet atmosphere from the anime and goes into a little more detail about Yukino and Kanade’s lives. The Manga definitely [...]

I don’t understand why K-On goes before everything else of the K category rather then last on MAL, and it’s kinda drives me nuts, but that’s how life goes. I actually ended up doing the Kino’s Journey patch before the K-On patch as I didn’t have much idea what to do for K-On. There’s not much [...]
