Again thanks to afk I got a reason to rewatch an awesome episode.


I sometimes feel that, despite being one of the four main characters, Miyuki gets a rather limited screentime.


Konata and Kagami sharing a sweet potatoe. Usually in anime, it’s what we call an indirect kiss, and they make quite a fuss about. Funny that Konata-chan didn’t mention anything about it, you would expect that she’d tease Kagamin with that.


I guess it’s the reason why Soujirou is so appreciated on 4ch*n.



Second half was simply awesome. I shed manly tears.

Dennou 14 was mostly a summary episode. Well, it’s ok once in a while.


Is it me, or does Akira actually use his pet for peeping on her sis Fumie under the shower ?

Akira-sama is watching you.

Nagasarete Airantou (episodes 1 ~ 25)

Short summary : After a fight with his father, Ikuto runs away from home and decides to board a ship for taking some vacation. But the ship is hit by a storm, and Ikuto wakes up later on an isolated island full of girls who are still living like in the medieval era.

Well… really typical harem anime. A bit crazy, but far less than Seto no Hanayome. It’s silly and there is no drama, so it’s the kind of lighthearted servicey show you can watch if you have too much time in your hands. Personally, I’ve sticked with this show mostly because the heroine Suzu is dubbed by Yui Horie (this time into “Manabi-mode” instead of “Yasuna-mode”) and for knowing more about Rin who I was interested in at first. But for a show about an island full of girls, I sure didn’t feel any yuri vibes.

Finally I enjoy it quite a bit, mostly for its lightheartedness and some of the characters, Ayane, Chikage-san (dubbed by Shizuka Ito, aka Akiha-sama/Hinagiku/Darry), Rin (dubbed by Ryoko Shiraishi, aka Hayata-kun) and Shinobu.


Rin the carpenter. I’ve always been into boyish/tomboy characters, so she’s naturally the character I liked at first. She’s in fact a bit clumsy and feminine, and is actually better as a cooker than as a carpenter.


I guess it’s a rule in manga/anime (Japan ?) : put 2 girls in a bath and it will end up with breasts-fondling action.


You know, ever since I started to watch this show, there is something that I find “attractive” about Ayane, but I can’t tell what it is… maybe her “unattractiveness” ? Anyway, she ended up being my favorite character with no reason, even though she’s bratty and irritating. I wish Machi-nee could give her a break sometimes. ;_;



Episode 18, Shinobu appears. A clumsy ninja AND samurai. She rapidly became my second favorite. This is also because she is dubbed by the seiyuu of Mugi from Hitohira, Orie Kimoto, a beginner seiyuu who I’m already fan of.


Still dunno what I like about her.


This show really got a nice cast, since this character from episodes 19 & 20 was dubbed by Yuki Matsuoka (Tsuruya-san). Awesome scene, btw.

Zettai muri !
