That triumph. By which I mean, the triumph of women over men. Nakamura-san annuls the contract which should have caused Kasuga to scream in joy like MLM making skinship with Kana-chan a reality. Instead he is devastated. His expression, his defeated, no, relinquished spirit as he kneels pathetically on the classroom floor cements his submission [...]

“Remember to breath,” Taichi thinks to himself, demonstrating more self control arguably than anyone else watching this week’s episode. And we are not even playing. Of course, in true Chihayafuru teasing fashion, we do not know the outcome between the Hokuo and Akashi match. Chihaya’s status for the individual tournament is unclear. For the time [...]
Arata isn’t even trying and he’s still oozing sex simply by squatting outside the tournament doors. That’s the key to being truly sexy. It’s never forced. It just is. I am upset we got to view Shinobu’s pantsu but never Arata’s underwear. Sexist. Anyways. This week will be a public service announcement on introversion. I [...]
Last week was a total tease. At the cusp of the finals, we were fed a recap episode instead. The interrupted timing subdued the excitement of the match for this week but it ended in spectacular fashion as usual. This week definitely revolved around Chihaya but I keep thinking of Kana-chan. The seemingly effortless yet [...]
At roughly $30 billion a year, revenues of the pantsu industry surpasses the market capitalization of Time Warner, Sears and Dell. Sometimes I wonder how the prevalence of pantsu affects youth in the same way watching Gundam might but that’s beyond the scope of this discourse. Not it’s not. There’s always time and space for [...]
There’s a popular doctrine stating that if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. I disagree. My tenth grade World Civilization teacher explained his reasoning in one of the many after school chats we had. Even if something is not broken, there is always better. Of the numerous things we talked about, this one particularly stood [...]
I take everything back. Megumu is not swoon. In fact, she would make an atrocious lover. We see the members of the Akashi Girls School wondering about Megumu’s intentions on trying for Queen. Multiple times. She has left them in the dark all this time! In contrast, Chihaya made it abundantly, almost laughably clear to [...]
Sometimes the hardest thing is to not do anything. Madoka Magica The Movie Part 3: Rebellion is a triumph in storytelling. Originally unique, Urobuchi crafts a magical tale of friendship, deceit and the gravity defying power of humanity…. and the lack of. It seems so obvious afterwards. Of course, it’s much easier said than done. [...]
If it wasn’t in stone before, it is now. Chihayafuru is the best anime of the year. Afterall, the best things in life, Voltron and sex, gets better with more. We were just introduced to Megumu an episode or two ago and now she’s a third contender for Queen. Did anyone see this coming? It [...]
Thank you again to Monsieur LaMoe for filling in for me last week. Arata lent his clothes for Shinobu to wear and also his phone to use? I think it’s obvious what the ships are now. And the suspense is finally over. We will see Arata in action! Maybe by episode thirteen ~_~ For the [...]
Oi. Chihayafuru was flawless until now. And it tarnishes its perfection with an absurd faux pas. I guess it’s plausible that one may be intimidated by another of a larger stature in karuta but moments later Lizard-kun invokes race into the equation by implying that he has never seen a black guy. Nani?? Unless one [...]
