First off, let me apologize on being incredibly late with this post. A lot of complications have arisen in the past week or so, but I suppose it should be over by now. Anyways, in my attempt to avoid the “tl;dr” message, I’m going to get really concise with this post. Regardless, continuing on from [...]

Now I will show you the dance of my people. Please Ano Natsu, please … all I want this week is some love-triangle love. It’s probably the only reason why I wanted to watch this in the first place. Space girl problems. This week’s episode of Ano Natsu (woah, I almost wrote Ano Hana) kicks [...]
