Finishing up the popcorn.

Tokyo Marble Chocolate OVA! a two part ova where the same story is told twice, once from the boy's point-of-view and once from the girl's point-of-view. It's a simple shoujo story taking place in a world somewhat like Tokyo. A boy and girl go out on a date. There's a miniature donkey involved. The animation style and character design is what makes it worth taking a quick look. It's not an earth-shattering stylistic change, but there a nice simple change to the visuals that makes it fun to watch. Sakurai Takahiro is always nice to listen to, too.


Persona -trinity soul- 2! Shin and Jun head to their first day of school while big brother goes to do his police chiefing duties. Shin learns that kids pull their shadows/persona out to get high. Trust high school kids to find inexpensive ways to fry their brains. Surely, this is Adult Swim material.

Haro & Horo

Gundam 00 14! A transition episode with a great new opening (buriguri) and ending(stephanie); haircut ♥. Love the domesticity, tension, and the introduction of new characters. Interesting episode notes: Lockon pretends to like women, Setsuna is a peeping-tom, Tieria & Alleluia are workaholics.



Spice and Wolf 2! This episode delves into the world of the peddling business. The banter between Horo and Lawrence is somewhat interesting, too, as Lawrence gets upset when Horo keeps referring to him as young & naive.

Two more new dramas to sample...
Winter must be the time that Japanese people snuggle in front of their tvs. I swear that there was no dramas to watch last fall.

And Emma's new chapter
