Black★Rock Shooter (Adding a star every time I write the title of this OVA is awesome! ) To sum it up, Black Rock shooter is one of the coolest people ever since sliced cheese, but this OVA did not do her justice. The art was quite beautiful, the music was good and the action scenes were pretty [...]

For this month's gallery I've taken a slice out of Bakemonogatari to bring you 95 high definition wallpapers from the Suruga Monkey story arc. Bakemonogatari has a great visual style that lends itself well to wallpapers, but the screen capture process is sometimes made difficult due to the often fast editing between shots that are a fairly distinctive element of the series' style. Nonetheless, I'm pleased with how this gallery has turned out and it's likely that you'll see more Bakemonogatari galleries here over time. For now, I hope you'll enjoy this one!

I could only wish if only I knew enough Japanese [...]
