Netherworld War Chronicles: Disgaea (First Impressions)

When I told my friends that a Disgaea anime was in the works a while back, they (okay, I only told one friend, so he) said that it's going to suck. Well, I just saw the first episode. It does suck in some aspects. However, cute loli Flonne being cute and loli, and hot loli Etna being all, um, hot and loli with a bunch of penguins as well as the intrisic silliness of Disgaea makes this show watchable, and fun. Right now, I think of it as a "guilty pleasure"…

Mai Otome (Series Review)

If you’re not familiar with Mai Otome: it is a show about lesbians endowed with amazingly obscene amounts of firepower and charged with the duty of protecting their masters. So, basically, it’s got maids, high-powered combat, lesbians, swords, and, um, lesbians. This show’s universe runs on the rule of “every problem can be solved given sufficient violence and/or lesbian sex”.

Its more action packed episodes (i.e., the last few episodes) are also great Exalted source material. The final episodes did Exalted vs. extra mass combat rather well.

Anyway, I squealed throughout the last two episodes, and here is why, with a ton of spoilers.

B.A.P. (Beware and Prepare)

B.A.P., short for Beware and Prepare. It's a webcomic. It's drawn by a rabid fangirl. It's the epitomy of "Mary Sue" "journal" comics. I mean, the sole premise of the strip is that the artist lives in the same house as several Yu-Gi-Oh characters who happen to be cute males. But I like it? Why? I'm not really sure…
