After episode seven of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu proved to be a bit of a disaster in this 'Blogger's opinion, episode eight could only really be an improvement as long as it managed to get its feet firmly back on the ground. It certainly accomplished that task, but unfortunately did so with such a high level of predictability that I had pretty much the whole episode mapped out in my head for

Summary Mika is talking with some of her classmates at school.  When one of them mentions how she got asked out, they all badger Mika about what to do during a date.  She makes a detailed explanation that borderlines yuri when she uses a friend as an example. On the way home, Mika talks with Nanami about [...]

This news got past my TS radar, and was brought to my attention by fellow Toshokan Sensou evangelist fan haya5hi of Akiba-Station. Basically, Toshokan Sensou bags the stellar 星雲 (Seiun) award in the recently concluded Japan SF (sci-fi) convention Daicon7, an award whose awesomeness I won't be able to fathom had I not read haya5hi's post about it being a semi-illiterate and all lol. Congratulations to ToshoSen and of course, its author Hiro Arikawa, for bringing us this wonderful novel. I promise, I'll get to reading ALL of it after I finish studying for JLPT1 also because I'm currently sidetracked with reading the Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu novels >.>

I continue to search for something to back up Hidamari x365, which is not grabbing strongly enough. Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu seems like something that may work… Evirus sez: Overall, this is not a good show but it is amusing and mildly charming in its own unrealistic sort of way. None of the characters are especially [...]

Lucky man This week is a lolicon’s dream Mika centered episode, the only one we’ve had so far. Mika decides to get some references on dating for herself and try to push Yuuto and Haruka’s relationship along by taking him along on a date and “instructing” him on what to do. Mika has become somewhat less [...]

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is an awesome anime. But only if you know what they are talking about. But when a fansub group makes this sort of mistake, I’m not sure if I can recommend it to anyone anymore.

Well, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu appears to be like those asshole drivers who go really slowly until I could pass them, then they speed up and drift toward the far lane to keep me from goung around. What I mean is, after the honestly lackluster episode six, episode seven was fantastic. It hit [...]

Pancakes anyone? The lack of Haruka this episode made me sad… but I sure do love pancakes. Pancakes for breakfast, pancakes for dinner, pancakes for a snack, it doesn’t matter. Pancakes rule! Pancakes with Haruka is double the pleasure, double the winnage. Yuto is living the dream. Love-love with Haruka one day, and out on a date [...]

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu has gone past that dramatic arc that was episode 3, but still, I'm loving it. I’ve heard many people (guys and girls like) say that it makes them go “Kyaa~!” or “Awww” with each episode, and I couldn’t agree more. The big grin on my face every time I watch this series serves as the ultimate proof of that. Yuuto and Haruka’s rabu rabu is just too sweet and cute for words. It’s cliché, says the wise anime sages, but it’s good cliché fluff that actually breaks the stereotypical harem genre mold in which it was placed under.
