This was supposed to be a Code Geass review, but since everyone and their mothers have already talked about it, I think my post can wait. Instead.. This is not just a graph of AIG’s stock price. Along with Macross F, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu was a show I did not plan on picking up until a [...]

Despite its almost half-hearted attempt to build up some love rivalry for Haruka in this series, in reality we knew exactly where this series was headed from a couple of episodes in, making this twelfth and final instalment all but a formality. While this probably wasn't a good episode for me to watch with just a few weeks to go until my own birthday, as it's given me way too many outlandish

Okay, I also could have used more Hisakawa Aya as a yakuza-type mom.

My coverage of this series obviously dropped a couple of weeks ago. Due to a combination of the plot sucking, a new job, and me being slightly burnt out from doing Geass (this show gets released the day of or the next day after geass it seems) made me not cover a couple of [...]

Well, I obviously had to make a double post because I wanted to get this series done with before it would be considered “too late”. Also, I told myself that I had to get this post done before I can watch the last episode of Code Geass, so I’m pretty excited to just go and [...]

I was meant to write this up yesterday, but I was so tired! I fell asleep so early, it was probably the earliest I went to bed in the past three months, but now I feel happy and well…awake. Anyway, so I’ll try to sum up this episode as best as I can because I [...]

Final episode! It pretty much ends with a happy ending so no point summarizing. Highlight of the episode was Yuto and Haruka almost going straight for the home run, if they weren’t careless and forgot to lock the damn doors again (or do those doors never have locks in the first place?!). That part sure [...]

Ya da… Yuuto-san… Wooohh!!! It’s been a heck of a series! Yes, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (For those who haven’t yet seen the series or have been watching the series but still don’t know what the title means, it’s “Haruka Nogizaka’s Secret”. Nice… She could start her own line of lingerie… hmmm. Rakuen likes.) had lived [...]

It’s Haruka’s upcoming birthday!… But Yuuto seems to have a problem finding the perfect gift for the perfect girl… Haruka is can definitely pass on to a shampoo ad. Chibi Yuuto is cute But Chibi Nobunaga-kun is still cuter! Oh, so that completes up the puzzle that Yuuto was the one who gave Haruka her most memorable book, the [...]

We're already at the penultimate instalment of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, so of course it's time to ramp things up for the probable "Awww, love is great" ending which must surely be the only proper way to bring this series to the close. This final story arc surrounds Haruka's birthday, with Yuuto soon hitting on a present idea after talking about anime with Haruka, although it seems that doing

Chase the dream, Haruka.

Yuuto tries to explain what happened between him and Shina to Haruka, but she doesn’t want to hear it.

Whoops I missed 10, but it’s of no consequence. Anyways, the penultimate episode of Nogizaka Haruka starts the last arc of the show, with Haruka’s birthday celebration party. Her birthday is on the 20th of October, FYI. Being informed beforehand by the ever-reliable Mika (who needs wingmen when you have her!), Yuto initially scouts out [...]

Summary by Negishi: well, our wonderful and ever loving koibito tachi is going to face another crisis again, but somehow I believe that these two wonderful love birds will remember their bonds in Otaku-dom… It’s Haruka’s birthday! It’s star bright and magnificent times as Yuuto-san buys a surprisingly appropriate gift for Haruka, but oh no! Look, [...]

Honestly, when I started the school year again, I really didn’t expect it to take up that much of my time. I’m sorry to everyone that I haven’t been posting as much, I really am trying! This is going to be a shorter post than usual because this series isn’t really that popular and there [...]

And what happened beforehand gets revealed. Were you shocked? No? Yep, that’s what I thought. Now, wouldn’t it be safer for someone to PULL the other person out of the way instead of always diving on top of the other person to shield him or her? Jumping INTO the situation puts the rescuer in danger as [...]

A surprisingly (and thankfully) Haruka-filled episode. Cosplay cafe. Fitting. Oh, so-o fitting. I already have my “stuff I to see Haruka cosplay as” wish list written up. What would YOU want to see Haruka cosplay as? Going with a Noto Mamiko theme, I’d be all for School Rumble or Witchblade. The choices are so infinite. Personally, [...]

You know, I sometimes have to wonder if anyone has actually been caught in that typical anime dilemma - Late a night in the school building, sprawled on the floor with some cute girl for a totally innocuous reason, when your girlfriend or a girl you care deeply about walks in, sees it all and runs off in tears. I mean, it must have happened once at least surely, otherwise how would anyone have
