With a series like Bamboo Blade, it’s kind of hard to see some drama fit into it, but with this episode, we certainly got some level of drama that made this really enjoyable. With the club’s defeat still lingering amongst everyone, it seems that the club is falling apart with Tamaki resigning, Toraji placing the issue of Toyama and Iwase on her shoulders, and Miyako’s depression of losing to Carrie. But the one thing I loved about this episode is how it portrays that everyone as individuals they are weak, but as a whole, they are strong.

As I was reading through the Hayate no Gotoku Official Box booklet, I noticed in Hinagiku’s profile that 3rd March is her birthday. So Happy Birthday to Hinagiku! Also noted that she is 161cm tall, it’s like perfect height for a girlfriend, lol.

Not sure if this is old news, but I recently saw this dub clip of Kanon 2006. From the sound of it, the dub just doesn’t cut it. In fact it tarnishes my love for Nayuki as she doesn’t sounds very cute, or sleepy. Ayu on the other hand sounds more like a brat, and oh god the uguu, all I can say is…uguu~~~ Still, with the first volume to be released on the 1st Jan 2008, I find it unexpectingly quick. Still, I’ll probably end up purchasing the DVDs at some point, but with the whole Xmas shopping, it won’t be for a few weeks maybe. Anyway, check out the dub below:

Anime has always portrayed various well known foods, or snacks in particular. Onegai Teacher had Pocky. Kanon had taiyaki and strawberry sundaes. Shakugan no Shana had melon bread. And now there is Lucky Star, and this time it brings along choco cornets. Konata’s staple intake of choco cornets for lunch has definitely made my otaku burning passion to try one myself, but living out as far as I do from the city, all seemed to be in vain. But alas, today was a trip into the city, and heading into one of my regular places to buy sweet bread, I found it!
For my Sydney-sider readers, I found this at BreadTop, which is located on the Ground Floor of World Square. Although the conversation they had in episode one got me thinking of which do you see as the head. Although I couldn’t pick which one, I decided to buy two so I could try eating them from different ends. So far I’ve eaten one but I’m not going to describe what I think of it since I’m not a food critic. But still, for those who want one and be like Konata, now you know where to get one. Boy do I feel like a geek, lol.
UPDATE: I just ate the second one from the thin end and the chocolate just oozed out. Luckily I was eating in the kitchen so I didn’t make too much of a mess.

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is one of the many good series that I am following this season. Though after having watched episode 8, it was just EPIC. The death of Kamina was surely expected, but the way he died was very befitting for a man of Kamina’s stature. Having taken a fatal blow by the enemy, he rises once more to combine once again as Gurren-Lagann to defeat his enemy and unleashes his ultimate final attack. With the enemy defeating, he sits quietly in the cockpit of Gurren-Lagann and whispers a goodbye to his friends.
Upon seeing this I cried MANLY TEARS and for me, I have not done something like that since Hokuto no Ken (which of course wasn’t really that long ago). Kamina was indeed a great man and that he taught that you don’t just believe in others, but more importantly you had to believe in yourself. Believing in yourself was the last advice he gave to Simon and it is that advice which I think will push Simon forward from this point and that it will make him a great man like Kamina.
But now that Kamina has died, I do wonder how the rest of the story will go without him. These past few episodes I felt that he was the bond that held the group together, but also with the Kamina x Yoko relationship that just started, I can see that we’ll be seeing a depressing side of her as well as Simon. But as Simon said - “On that day, we lost someone irreplaceable.†and I think it will be a while till the two of them will move forward from all of this.
You may be gone from the group, but you shall live on within our hearts! Kamina! One of the greatest men of anime! (also a good contender to win next year’s SaiGAR competition.

Lovely Complex is one of the many series that I am following and I am finding it very enjoyable. Ootani and Koizumi are awesome in the way that they despise each other, but are actually close friends. Of course there are the other characters, but one specifically. Kotobuki Seiko is a fresh year student and look how cute she is:
Normally you would think a girl like that is really cute. But guess what………
