Alright, we’re storming right into Koi Kaze. Koi Kaze has a very unique reputation in my anime circles – in short, it’s basically “the show that does incest right.” Instead of using incest for [...]

When I peeked into the box that Santa had left for me this year, I expected a run-of-the-mill imouto anime. Instead I saw a moral dilemma. No, it wasn’t that Santa’s gift had put me into a moral [...]

Nope, I’m not quite dead yet. At the end of May I posted a poll asking readers to choose which series (out of a shortlist of six) I should watch next. When the poll ended with two shows tied for first place, and a third series close behind, I decided I’d watch all three. Well, [...]

Day 57/366 Koi Kaze is many things. Incest being one of them... But I personally think it's one of the best romance series out there in anime. This series did everything possible to be plain and ordinary except for one thing. It's school uniform wasn't that one thing. A simple blue sailor suit with a [...] Related posts:366 Days of Anime School Uniforms: Day 17/366 Mobile Suit Gundam 00 366 Days of Anime School Uniforms: Day 43/366 Nyan Koi 366 Days of Anime School Uniforms: Day 50/366 Sexy Commando

This subject has been discussed to death, but fear not, for I am not a faggot who flaunts around his monocle and wizard hat. This is not some scholarly film-school-esque commentary on the “degeneration of decadence” and this is certainly … Continue reading →

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi Suru, KissxSis, Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ni—!! Yes, I really dislike how incest is handled in anime. Even leaving the above-mentioned series aside, it feels like you’re less likely to find a brother and sister in anime [...]

So a few years ago, I watched a Johnny Depp movie called “The Secret Window.” Really there wasn’t a whole lot special about the movie. It was just another, “Guy on the rocks, has something strange start going on with his life, has to figure it out” type of movie. Even the twist wasn’t really [...]

… is not bad at all. Thanks to a certain individual (Blame Mike!~~ Blame Mike!~~ *to the tune of “Blame Canada*), I found myself interested in it. In fact it was particularly engaging, even though 95% of the time I was going “OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!”. But don’t worry, I haven’t developed siscon [...]

This may be from a calendar, but I figured everyone was sick of seeing the same two pictures of Nanoka. Koshiro and Nanoka are siblings, but thanks to their parents’ divorce and twelve year age gap, they haven’t seen each other since Nanoka was a baby. All that is about to change, however, for once she [...]

WARNING: This post assumes you have watched Koi Kaze. When Koi Kaze finally ended I was quite disappointed at first. I really expected a sad ending after all that was developing in the last episode, but it just didn’t happen. In spite of this, like always, I kept thinking about what was going on and I [...]

I’ve spent the last few days devouring every last bit of Koi Kaze that I could get my hands on. I watched the entire anime series, and then marathoned the manga. In short, I am completely smitten. I expected it to delve into the realms of more violent and consuming jealousy, or obsessive love [...]
