Okay, so it's been a while since I posted on this blog. I finally graduated and I have some free time to read stuff, including manga. So I finally read the second volume of Kashimashi, only about three years after I read the first one... At least the complete series is already out!

A friend of mine bought the Kashimashi complete collection and I played Yuri fangirl and got him to lend it to me before another friend. xD; But anyways, I love Kashimashi a lot. The manga makes me feel all happy, and besides for a few moments where I was like “WAIT WHAT?” at the end, [...]

Here is the opening song that ended up winning my anime theme thing. Also, I think I’m going to start using veoh whenever I can for these videos. They seem to be a lot better. My only issues with them is that they’re still relatively unknown, so there isn’t a lot on [...]

Kashimashi is the story of probably the unluckiest guy in the world. Life has got to suck enough for a guy who has zero self esteem and is continuously mistaken for a girl, but to be plowed into by a suspiciously phallic shaped spaceship must be the icing on the cake. Normally getting hit by [...]

Like any normal guy, I like my fair share of girl meets girl action. Kashimashi has “girl meets girl” in the freakin’ title! Before even opening the book, I knew I’d like this manga; the question was how much I would like it… Story: Hazumu is just your typical high school kid. Slightly girly, but still average. [...]

Had been pretty disillusioned by the ambiguity where the series has left off but had been consoling myself by comparing it to the source material’s relative deterioration. Nonetheless, strong coherent endings are an important criteria in my overall enjoyment of anime series - thus I often enjoy SUNRISE series less than I otherwise would on [...]

Wow, this was just stupid. We waited 6 months for an insane OVA that wrapped up the triangle by undoing the last episode of the TV series, and then giving us what happened afterwards in quick flashbacks?! Oh, and tossing in some insane fantasy elements, too. It just threw in random stuff for the [...]

Kashimashi was one of the few new shows worthy of watching in the Winter season, and while it will not win any awards, the attempts to provide an engaging and emotional love triangle. Hazumu is an extremely cute and girlish boy, so she seems the natural choice to be reconstructed as the opposite gender when [...]

While watching Kashimashi, I noticed that the ED song kept changing. At the time, I thought "wow, this song is really good, plus they have a billion versions of it!" It turns out that episodes 8-11 of the anime all have different seiyuu singing it! The different characters all have unique lyrics so the song fits their character too. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yep, it's time for a Seiyuu Showdown: Karaoke Battle!
