Revolutionary Girl Utena, part 2

Posted on September 9, 2009 by Ubu Roi

Ok, I hit the TV Tropes site entry on this series, and it’s a lock, I’m not bothering any more with it… How bad? Mind Screw (Everything in the series can qualify if you think about it.) Um… Not Blood … Continue reading →

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, ep 5

Asura’s Cryin’, Vandread, and Natsu no Arashi

Posted on April 20, 2009 by Ubu Roi
