So Beck is this one manga about rock music. I had always assumed it was about that rock star, Beck. But apparently Beck is some Frankenweenie-style dog. Also, after reading the first volume, I have no still idea what the “Mongolian Chop Squad” is a reference to…
So the Cipher twins were yaoi twins before the Hitachiin twins were. I think that’s a dubious honor, at best.
The race to Graceland (not the Elvis one) continues in Coyote Ragtime Show Volume 2! I’m actually really hoping that the twist at the end deals with Bruce being the reincarnation of Elvis Presley, and the treasure being brand new singles from the King himself!
Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes, and that Koge-Donbo will draw cute manga. Proof of the last one is Kon Kon Kokon. It’s freakin’ cute!!!
Stray Little Devil continues with more fanservice, and um… well, fanservice.
So I was supposed to watch Black Jack: Incubation before watching Black Jack: Trauma, but because of Central Park Media’s wacky naming conventions on their Black Jack DVDs (not using volume numbers), I ended up seeing this one first. I don’t think it matters that much anyway, since the episodes tend to be stand-alone stories.
Did the second volume of the Disgaea anime restore my faith, or destroy it completely? That is the question…
Suzuka combines teen angst with high jumping to create… Well, a teen high jumping angst anime. The first of its kind, as far as I know.
Hayate The Combat Butler shows that while poor people might not have money, they do have super resistance to everything! Which is almost like a kind of super power.
Nodame’s featured instrument for Volume 5 is the cello. Or is it the string bass? Either way, she needs to make a weirder face while playing it.
