Do you read ... Ex-Fansubber Hitorigoto? Hinano's a girl, isn't that reason enough? She also has fast and cuttingly sharp commentary on the latest episodes.

Have you watched ... True Tears? "True Tears is a simple yet strong love triangle romance with beautiful animation, intriguing characters and an excellent allegory."

Trendspotting Shortpost: Late-blooming glasses girls

    [...] that bolts neatly onto the end of my previous remarks like an intellectual Dendrobium Orchis or the late application of glasses to a previously un-bespectacled girl. Once again, I think I’ll write about Fate and once again I’ll use the excellent [...]
