My view of Sugimoto is softening ever more now, even after the emotionally tumultuous ending of this episode. This episode — particularly the way Sugimoto acts around, and is treated by, her family — has me more convinced than ever that many of her actions that hurt people are unwillful on her part. She is just [...]

Fumi visits Sugimoto’s house. Impressions: I have to say I was a bit shocked when Sugimoto came out to her sisters and mother. I wasn’t expecting that at all, it’s pretty damn big.

So I definitely called it! Wait, I guess I should start at the beginning with Fumi and Akira’s date.   This was a really cute segment.

Hearing Kou say how impressed he was with the portrayal of Heathcliff, Kyouko cannot help but think back how some upperclassmen revealed that Yasuko was in tears when their teacher Kagami [...]

It is rather strange why I watch girls’ love anime;  it’s for emotional healing. It’s funny, but there’s something almost pure and true when two girls are in love. Of course this is not reality, just like real life gays don’t act like BL characters. I laughed at myself after watching this episode. I realized this: [...]

It’s episodes like this one that really make it unfair to wait for an entire week to see what happens next. Such a powerful episode even though it was nothing like your average dramatic anime episode. Aoi Hana really feels like one of the most realistic romances I’ve seen in a long time and it [...]
