I got a chance to watch Howl’s Moving Castle at a special screening near USC yesterday, and it was quite enjoyable. Fortunately, it was subtitled; unfortunately, the picture was moving around for a siginificant amount of time. The University Village isn’t the best place to watch a cool movie, but it was free, so I’m…

I always wondered what the deal with flowers on people’s heads is about. I can sort of understand one being on Onsokumaru’s head in the first pic since 2×2=Shinobuden is pretty silly.       Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful is a serious drama highlighting the conflict of technology and nature.

I’m still not sure what a “MAIGE” is in Da Capo – probably an optical aberration that appears when an anime character tries to focus on distant objects. Speaking of physical defects, I ran across a curious thread talking about the physics lessons in Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster. Rakshasa sent me a link to an…

I used to want to try some exotic French food, but the following sign from Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Final made me reconsider. I can always count on anime to give me accurate impressions of various world cultures – Chinees for the last entry and now the French. Who needs to read books…
