Structurally, Dogsred is very much a traditional sports manga. But Noda Satoru really can’t do anything in a conventional way.

Today just the one couple with the heron.

The dynamic between the six ducks (four present) and one heron that live on my section of the Shirakawa fascinates me. They’re often together - do they like the same spots, or are they friends? Or is there a strategic advantage to hanging together?

"Only we have four seasons" Japan has officially made the 25-minute long transition from "stewing in a pool of my own sweat" to "freeze your nuts off".

Typical anime, casting someone way younger than the character - Nozawa Masako is only 89.

That was for 1984, you margarita-huffing bastards.

Yes, it's that time again. Once more we're looking at what comes down to another last-ditch effort to keep the site going. Not because I don't want to, but because of how harsh the financial and logistical reality is now.

I desperately wanted that special edition MBS Eureka Seven AO T-shirt, but ¥3850 - oof.

OK, so the Witch Watch cat waiter is Gusto, which I somehow didn't know. But my pancakes were brought by a human, which I suspect may be because I ordered in English off the tablet.
