The results of intoxication are a diverse variety.  Every person responds to alcoholic beverages differently with the consequences ranging from a jovial drunken ruckus, to an impatient, irrational hot-head, to even a quiet, sedating stupor.  The portrayal of drunkenness in media recognizes these states but goes a step further and casts them through various lenses [...]

Natsuyuki Rendezvous 4, once again, has them getting absolutely nowhere, well, at least until the very end. Ryuusuke and Rokka go on a date to an amusement park where, as Ryusuuke says, he tries his best but doesn’t get anywhere. Part of the date reminds Rokka of the time she and Shimao went to the [...]

It's crunch time for Sawaki in this week's Moyashimon Returns, as he finally mans up and tells Oikawa about his unique microbe-spotting ability.  Or is it actually crunch time at all? Perhaps inevitably, Oikawa doesn't believe a word that Tadayasu is saying, and assumes that he's just spouting dumb nonsense in the hope of cheering her up from her current depression after the underground

This second season did have a bunch of strange plot decisions, I give it that: I mean, at this point the main character of this show has pretty much changed into Hazuki. A germophobe. Because of that, the microbes have completely changed their role in the series due to the lack of interaction between them. [...]

Now that Yuuki has finally agreed to run for student council president, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate can get down to business, which in this case means a long, long scene where Mouri, the current president, lends his support and they talk strategy. It’s livened up by the fact that Mouri is probably up to [...]

Moyashimon, an anime illustrating the various events of a group of students in at an agricultural university, has progressed in a fashion parallel to the experiences that many of us receive as undergraduates.  That is, both journeys begin with a comprehensive and unrestricted scope providing ample opportunity for students to sample the extensiveness of college [...]

Oikawa (or rather, "Team Oikawa") might still be concerning herself with the mystery of the hidden underground passage, but away from this it seems that Haruka has something even more vital on her plate. Such are her worries about her future, as her father threatens to drag her away from her research with an eye towards an arranged marriage, that she largely ditches her work for the time being,

The creators here nailed college, with one exception, which became clear to me with this episode: how come there is only one member of the cast who drinks? I mean, it’s college: the time which is notorious for people drinking themselves into a coma over and over again. I don’t care about the minimum age [...]

Holy crap, I am so late! And screw this, I’m going to blog Moyashimon. This episode convinced me that it deserves a second season. As a matter of fact, it could very well become better than the first season at this rate. It really deserves this with such a tight script, and it’s definitely more [...]

Yes the Moyashimon specials. Only 5 minutes long and consisting of 4 episodes they are very informative and very cute. It was a good way for me to get back into the series especially with the new season that is currently airing. I’ve always loved the microbes that have infected the show and the specials … Read more

I just can’t figure Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate out. All that happens in episode 2 is Yuuki deciding not to run for school president, getting advice from the contrary from several people, and deciding to run after all. Oh, and he happens to run into a lot of cute girls. The former was pretty [...]

Although the gang continue their current rice and bean fermenting efforts in this week's Moyashimon Returns, it seems that Oikawa has something else entirely on her mind after Kei's disappearance into thin air. In fact, there's more than one thing bothering Oikawa - as well as the strange "dungeon" she stumbled across previously, she also can't shake the feeling that Sawaki is hiding something
