Well, I’m going to get right to the actual post because I feel like, so they were deciding on what to do for the fair and by some chance the activity that they chose was to do a cosplay cafe. They selected the idea thanks to Yuuto’s friend Nobunaga who made quite a convincing argument [...]

Wow, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is getting pretty intense! Episode 8: In this episode, Mika decides to take Yuuto on a date, in order to teach him how to be charming to a girl, and how a perfect date should be. Yuuto is reluctant at first, but he finally gives up and follows Mika’s tips. They [...]

When this latest instalment of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu began with a discussion on what to do at the school culture festival, I was all ready to dust down and roll out my usual complaints about anime clichés - Thankfully, while said culture festival was a starting point for the episode, it avoided going over that old chestnut, instead giving us another solid episode to allow Yuuto and Haruka's

I remember some discussions in context of American visual entertainment, which dealt with the question if a market for wholesome movies existed. Obviously, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (Haruka Nogizaka’s Secret) is an attempt to measure the same market empirically. Otherwise, why bother with rehashing the same cliches, unless the wholesale shift of the anime into [...]

We start off this episode with Mika hanging out with all her friends, it turns out she’s considered the smart one for romance, which is an odd thought. Though, this little intro before the opening is just a set up to lead us into the Mika eccentric episode and we know this for sure when [...]

After episode seven of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu proved to be a bit of a disaster in this 'Blogger's opinion, episode eight could only really be an improvement as long as it managed to get its feet firmly back on the ground. It certainly accomplished that task, but unfortunately did so with such a high level of predictability that I had pretty much the whole episode mapped out in my head for

Summary Mika is talking with some of her classmates at school.  When one of them mentions how she got asked out, they all badger Mika about what to do during a date.  She makes a detailed explanation that borderlines yuri when she uses a friend as an example. On the way home, Mika talks with Nanami about [...]

Lucky man This week is a lolicon’s dream Mika centered episode, the only one we’ve had so far. Mika decides to get some references on dating for herself and try to push Yuuto and Haruka’s relationship along by taking him along on a date and “instructing” him on what to do. Mika has become somewhat less [...]

Pancakes anyone? The lack of Haruka this episode made me sad… but I sure do love pancakes. Pancakes for breakfast, pancakes for dinner, pancakes for a snack, it doesn’t matter. Pancakes rule! Pancakes with Haruka is double the pleasure, double the winnage. Yuto is living the dream. Love-love with Haruka one day, and out on a date [...]

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu has gone past that dramatic arc that was episode 3, but still, I'm loving it. I’ve heard many people (guys and girls like) say that it makes them go “Kyaa~!” or “Awww” with each episode, and I couldn’t agree more. The big grin on my face every time I watch this series serves as the ultimate proof of that. Yuuto and Haruka’s rabu rabu is just too sweet and cute for words. It’s cliché, says the wise anime sages, but it’s good cliché fluff that actually breaks the stereotypical harem genre mold in which it was placed under.

Well, this is a late post, but it’s better very late than never. I’m going to make this post relatively short only because it’s so late and nobody really cares for this episode anymore because it has been awhile since it was released. Anyway, as predicted, Haruka’s father found out about her hobby. He took [...]

I have a new theme, if that isn’t obvious yet. This is primarily because of mellow_bunny’s efforts: he designed my new theme from scratch based on what I wanted. Since I wanted a theme based on the color violet or permutations of it, he dutifully created my theme based on that sole desire, which is [...]
