Koizumi gets a surprise. Excerpt: I'm sad to see the show end, because it is one of the few series out there with a perfect streak of No Bad Episodes.

PUSH HIM DOWN! Excerpt: ...the show is about unrequited love, which is fine with me since the matter is addressed with the same honest despair depicted in Honey and Clover.

Otani and Koizumi. I’ve missed the past few anime seasons because I’ve been in hard core re-watchering mode for months, but I’ve started catching up on a few recent shows. For example, I’m watching Lovely Complex now, although I’m months behind everyone else. The gimmick in Lovely Complex is that the girl, Koizumi, is super tall—okay, [...]

I really think Love*Com should've been called "Napo*Com" instead. Because it's about a tall girl who falls for a short dude. At least it wasn't called "Shota*Com" or "Loli*Com."

Yeah Risa, A-chan is starting to wear on my nerves too. Well instead of doing summaries any more I am trying a new format since my guess it that most viewers are able to use the Chinese subs rather than waiting like poor old me for the English since I have no command of moonspeak [...]

Some people just don’t like being in a one sided relationship… It was rather surprising that they changed the OP and ED for the series. Then again many series these days are rather short and hardly warrant such a change. At any rate Last we left off Risa was mauling Otani A-chan for stealing her first [...]

It turns out America has changed Impz more than I could have imagined. Westside indeed. Impz has now taken off on his vacation and all communications have since then ceased he has failed to answer any hails. I can only assume that Thirteensugars has him locked up in some basement… At any rate I finally finished [...]

Haruka finally gets his day… Last time we ended on a fairly good note for Risa. Kanzaki was crushed utterly and without mercy, but while Otani has been scoring points he is still sitting upon the electric fence. A dangerous place to be for some one with a chibi-kokoro, especially when there is a male [...]

So this is what Impz looks like without glasses in his non-trap mode… With the store room debacle behind her Risa, Queen of the Amazons, moves towards her final battle against Chiharu’s evil twin, Kanzaki. Not all goes well as Kanzaki has stuck a dark deal with Otani’s rather gangsta looking pals. At stake is [...]

Ever since that sketch of Impz got out he’s been acting funny… So Impz is feeling a bit sick and like some overly macho idiot he has refused medical treatment so he can spread his sickness far and wide in his glorious city state. Thus it falls upon me to take up Lovely Complex [...]

This season has been full of love comedies (just take a look at what I’m blogging), but there have been many others throughout anime history. This is probably the genre I watch the most, only rivaled by slice of life. Here is a list of love comedies that you may or may not know. 1. DearS A [...]

Oh man, Otani was incredibly dense this episode, even by his standards. You’d think he’d get it after two people, including Risa herself, said it straight up and when everyone except him knows who Risa likes. Even the painfully obvious hints Risa offered at the end of the episode very barely got through. Still, it [...]

Lovely Complex is one of the many series that I am following and I am finding it very enjoyable. Ootani and Koizumi are awesome in the way that they despise each other, but are actually close friends. Of course there are the other characters, but one specifically. Kotobuki Seiko is a fresh year student and [...]

So I've pretty much been watching Lovely Complex and Lucky Star as far as this anime season goes. I just finished watching Lovely Complex 5, and I have to admit, I didn't see that coming.

Every now and then I want to sit down with something different from what I normally watch. Lovely Complex fits the bill perfectly: slapstick comedy, a Jpop-laden musical score and styles of visuals and storytelling that have ’shoujo’ written all over them. No angst, no sci-fi, no complicated plotting; just playful, lightweight fun. Kouizumi is a [...]

Okay, I’ve had a chance to read up to three volumes of this manga, and I have to say that this anime just blows in comparison to its paper counterpart. The first half at least is a huge disappointment because I was expecting to see certain scenes that weren’t even mentioned in dialog. [...]

Ray likes to tease me about it sometimes, but despite my adoration of shows like Kare Kano and Honey and Clover, and the fact that one of the very first anime I ever watched was Marmalade Boy (which I have seen in its entirety!)…I don’t really consider myself a fan of shoujo, per se. I [...]

I have to admit that I didn’t even know about this shoujo manga’s existence until I read about its upcoming anime debut a couple of months ago. Remember, this is coming from someone who only learned about popular titles such as Crimson Hero and Vampire Knight from Shojo Beat. Call me a noob, [...]
