Just finished a series bought on sale - Melody of Oblivion. The series is very similar to Revolutionary Girl Utena and in fact some of the same staff worked on both series. Melody of Oblivion is rife with fan service, occasionally incoherent but great fun to watch. Recommended for anyone who enjoys an anime with stunning visuals and interesting ideas.

Watched Le Chevalier D'Eon Vol 3 this Sunday. Another great entry in this historical/horror series which has made me hit the history books for more information on Louis the 15th and Empress Elizabeth of Russia. A great reworking of history that stays true to the spirit of the times even as the series mixes alchemy and possession. Highly recommended.

First Entry

Well, here is our second attempt at a blog. We promise at least a post a week. Ok, that's not a lot. But it's more than what we were doing, which was nothing.

This is a picture of the real Jinbocho, the used bookstore section of Tokyo. The area was featured prominently in the seminal librarian's anime, R.O.D.
