Yeah I've been looking forward to that one for awhile. I should really keep digging through School Girl Milky Crisis as it's been quite fascinating so far. There have been very books about anime that I've actually enjoyed reading, half of them turn out to be collections of rather far-fetched essays written by students.
Oddly enough I ordered his non-anime biography of Gustaf Mannerheim recently. It's good to see a writer with broad interests & expertise.

So is this a book on erotic anime ie what most people usually associate with Hentai or about erotic scenes and similar imagery in a lot of anime. You make it sound like it should be a thing I should give a read at some point. (especially if it's the later)
It's more of a series of essays addressing various topics to do with sex, gender and genre. Of course, there's discussion of hentai but that doesn't fill up the whole of the book. It has sections on: censorship, the history of hentai, shoujo, BL, character types and so forth.

When asked about future collaborations with him Helen McCarthy actually said that he was far too knowledgeable and expensive to just be working on, say, more anime encyclopaedias. Which is of course, helpful because when he does write on the subject he's brining that whole wealth of knowledge to bear on the subject, where as many other "anime writers" only have experience with anime.

Hotaru is a "tsundere" little girl voiced by Rie Kugimiya. Does that make her a Kugiloli? There's food for thought for a Sunday night...

Yes. That was easy :)

Actually, my confusion was simply that I didn't recognise what the show was at all, let alone the character - I think I must have only saw, like, two episode of the show back when it first aired. If I hadn't looked at the images URL, I'd have never figured out how it was. Didn't realise Kugimiya was involved in the show either.

Bah. These are the anime questions that keep me up at night, I can't be having with simple answers.

Everyone should watch Gakuen Alice. It's X-Men with a homicidal axe-wielding teddy bear.

Do you even pose?

Animation seemed more in-line with Phantom Blood quality. First half was kind of a drag too after that strong opening arc but I suppose transition has to happen now and then. Ending sequence lived up to the last two eps though! I had no idea the German people were so loud either.

Nice to hear some more Yes music in this too even if it was just a sample.

Natsume is the closest you can get to an angsty bishounen love interest when your characters are about nine years old.

I just remembered that I read the manga a couple of years ago.
There is an anime?

Edit: I still have trouble remembering this bear though, was it one of the inventions?
It feels hazy but I think they met him in the academy forest.

Ok that does sound worthwhile then, should put it on my amazon wishlist to remember to pick it up when I have the opportunity.

Voice sounds familiar but I cant think of from where. Looking real good.
It probably just sounds familiar, since Kaito Ishikawa (if that is the MC narrating at the end) has only had bit parts so far.

On a different note, I managed to clear up some space in my schedule
and am significantly less drunk than I was last night
so if Dresden doesn't want to do the AOTY topic I can still probably be a backup.
 
Tokyo Encounter 18


This week's guest is Swerita Tea and Throat Medicine.

First they played with the least stealthy ninjas yet in Ninja Commando where they use the ninja art of summoning black holes. Next was Ahh! The Baseball Life To the Top! where all childhood progress happens below the waist. And finally it was Enterbrain Collection+ Amagami where we saw how Sugita gets his kicks and how to talk to girls about the health benefits of not wearing underwear.

Judging by your posts, and the posts of others who dispense news, it seems like the two languages that are the most helpful in keeping up to date with animation news are Japanese and French. I suppose that should come as no surprise considering they're the two largest anime markets in the world.

It really does feel like French is more useful than English sometimes. I follow a couple of French accounts on Twitter even though I know very little French because they do a good job of bringing anime and sakuga stuff (videos, analyses, etc.) to my attention. It's a shame I don't understand their posts too well though.

Well, ANN does a good enough job of being quick to post anime news anyway.

I think I should be watching this. Do they always play cool games like Amagami?
