Hey, that’s kinda like my drawing style. Oh well… Yuu and Yuuko aren’t actually blood-related; they came from the same orphanage and treated each other like a true sibling (well, that’s more on Yuuko’s side).

It’s ef - a tale of melodies episode 2, and we learn more about Yuko and Yuu’s past while Mizuki continues to fall more for Kuze’s trap. We learn more about Yuu and Yuko’s past. When they were way younger (like around 6 or 7) they were both in the same orphanage. [...]

I mentioned last time around that I wasn't too sure what to make of ef - a tale of melodies, and I have to confess that I'm afraid the same is true after watching episode two of the series. It isn't so much that it doesn't make sense as the fact that it jumps about rather frequently, and hasn't given me enough in the way of a story for me to form any kind of bond with any of the main characters.

I’m still not really digging either Vampire Knight nor ef all that much, but at least this week, Kuze’s pretentiousness was easier to stomach than Yuuki’s rape fantasies, so I guess I’ll go with ef for today. My Monday schedule may [...]

Let me clarify that statement by saying that when I first watched ef as it aired I thought that the “love stories” it contained were trite, superficial, and above all boring. Lo and behold my finishing the series didn’t change my opinions, though I will admit that ef does climaxes so well I almost forget [...]
