So Julie from MangaManicCafe had told me in the comments section of my review of Recipe For Gertrude 1 that the manga gets better as the story progresses. This was especially good news, since I thought the first volume was good to begin with! So yeah, here’s my review of The Recipe For Gertrude Volume 2.
Cromartie High School is a manga turned anime that’s in my favorite genre: random. You know, like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Sexy Commando, and Gag Manga Biyori? I got the whole series during that ADV sale, so I figured I should watch some of it.
So Japanese people sure do love their princesses. There’s Princess Resurrection, Real Fake Princess, Scrapped Princess, Princess Princess… So to keep up with them all, here’s my review of Murder Princess, Volume 1!
Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo is one of my all time favorite anime. I watch, I laugh. It’s really that simple. I even bought the manga version in order to get my Bobobo fix. I recall seeing it on Cartoon Network for a while, but that wouldn’t do, since I wanted to watch it in Japanese. Finally, Illumitoon released the Bobobo DVD with Japanese subtitles*, so here’s my review!
*eventually
Nodame Cantabile Volume 2 introduces two new cliche characters: the gay timpani player and the perverted master conductor. Did I write “cliche?” I meant weird.
The author of Stray Little Devil mentioned in the afterword that panty shots weren’t allowed in this manga. I hadn’t really noticed, but maybe that means it’s time for me to stop reading this…
The World of Narue manga continues in volume 2 with more cute relationship stories. And panty shots.
This is a milestone of sorts for Basugasubakuhatsu. It’s the first time I’ve reviewed a DVD of an anime series after doing a first impression review of the fansub. Pretty weird. I stopped watching the fansub after like the first episode anyway, so most of the DVD was new to me!
I already gave my impressions on the D.Gray-Man anime a while back, but I never watched more than the first episode. I just finished reading the first volume of the manga. But was it any better than the anime?
I think I watched one episode of the Stellvia anime before calling it quits, but the cover of the manga was just way too cute to ignore. Apparently, this manga came after the anime. That doesn’t mean it can’t be better, though.
