Just How Nice are Catgirls, Anyway?

Posted on September 26, 2010 by Ubu Roi

They seem to have shared very little information on themselves, as opposed to how much they’ve gathered on humans, but I don’t think it’s inimical in any way, we just haven’t seen it because mass data dumps are inherently boring.

Sekirei S2 (and a bit of manga)

Posted on July 29, 2010 by Ubu Roi

Apparently, several weeks ago, I started a post on Sekirei’s second season, and never finished it. Given that we’re now past the third episode, and this is turning out to be one of the surprise quality shows of the season, … Continue reading →

Highschool of The Dead & Summer 2010
