    Quite Intereresting

    That was my assumption. But then I thought, there could be hundreds of people named Ian who write about manga and like comedy. Oh, and the QI recording's usually last between 90 and 120 minutes. They record two shows per day at the the last operating studio at the old BBC Centre in White City...

    Quite Intereresting

    I was at a recording of QI this afternoon. The winner of the pre-taping audience quiz happened to be a man named Ian who is a writer and manga critic. Hmm. Congratulations to the smartest person in the room! I had deliberately got the previous question wrong (about Lord of the Rings) as I hate...

    Girls Bravo complete season 2: Any semblance of a storyline has been abandoned in favour of individual episodes based on breast exposure. Big action packed finale petered out to nothing in the end. Entertaining in a very superficial way. Frieren episodes 1-12: fascinating story focusing on the...

    Reincarnated as the Piggy Duke: This Time I'm Gonna Tell Her How I Feel! volume 8: I feel we have truly jumped the shark in this series. The grammar is getting worse (do we blame the author or translator?) and the story was very silly. Even though I've paid for v9, I doubt I'll bother unless I'm...

    What manga are you reading now?

    My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer volume 1: despite the rather clunky title (which the author apologises for in the afterword), this is a tale of an adventurer who retires to his village very early, after losing a limb, when he finds a baby in the woods, which he raises...

    What manga are you reading now?

    By the grace of the gods volume 9: Shortest book so far, at just 160 pages (previously avg 230 pages). Mostly slime evolution tosh and everyone around Ryoma discussing his personality based on his actions or (in the case of the Gods) his traumatic past life. Very little actual story but we did...

    What manga are you reading now?

    By the grace of the gods volume 7-8: Lots about slime research and chatting with the Gods, a nice section about a surprise wedding and another about fighting mad salamanders in a fishing village. Nothing about Elia and her school life. From the opening pics of volume 9, it looks like she could...

    What manga are you reading now?

    So nice to be spending time away from my PC and blu ray player. Read by the grace of the gods volume 2-6 now. I think series w of the anime stopped after volume 5. Lots of extra stuff (especially about what happened to ryoma's earthly friends after his death). Nothing new about elia and her...

    Mixed bathing in another dimension volume 5-7: so nice to see a series come to a satisfying conclusion. Lots of baths wiyh all types of creatures (including some goddesses). By the grace of the gods volume 1: trapped for an hour on an underground train in Brussels i decided to start this...

    Girls Bravo season 1: Oh dearie dearie me. So many boobs. So much violence by the girls against our hapless lead character that I am unsurprised he breaks out in hives at the thought of touching one. Some of the stories have been quite good, but it is overflowing with fan service and...

    Ordered Banished From The Hero's Party I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside season 2 and Girls Bravo DVD Boxed Set for £50 (£34/£16) from AllYourMusic on eBay last week. Took a chance that the Banished set was the DVD/Blu Ray as it wasn't specified on the listing. Arrived yesterday...

    Banished From The Hero's Party etc etc complete season 2: Another lovely look at the quiet life in the country as the romance blossoms between Red and Ritt. Spoilt of course by some intrigue, a couple of monsters and a right nutter. Not sure there's a need for a third season but I wouldn't...

    Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension volume2-4: It's got me hooked. At least they have toned down the ogling aspect. I think the first volume was about 60% I wanna see the girls naked in my bath and 40% plot. By volume 4 it's down to about 15% bathing related and the rest is a fascinating tale of...

    Vampire Princess Miyu OVA 1-4: good stories, including one about Miyu's origin, but very jerky 90s visuals and a US audio dub that sounded very robotic at times. The good old days, eh? Robotics Notes episodes 7-11: The story is vaguely interesting, but also a bit generic. I did like the diesel...

    Into The Abyss Dawn Of The Deep Soul: The movie directly continues on from the end of series 1 and resolves some of the questions asked near the end of the series. Lot of very traumatic moments (again), but the fascinating alien life in the deeper layers continues to delight (and disgust - there...

    Maria-Holic episodes 1-4: OK, I knew this was going to be a bit dodgy when I saw episode 3 was titled Masochistic Young Buds. Chaos would be a good description of what has occurred so far. Missing a lot as there is so much going on, but it's filthy (not visually so far- I'm sure that will change...

    This week's MVM DOTW is Yuuna and the haunted hot springs. I already own a backup copy of this excellent series.

    I did a pre-order and a DOTW from MVM (which bumped it over the £30) and they shipped separately. Well, I assume so, as I'm still waiting on Frieren.

    Hana Saku Oroha episodes 1-13: Odd. A show starring a group of teenage girls working in a hot spring resort with barely a mention of hot springs or playful attacks on one anothers boobs. It's so refreshing! Our protagonist, Ohana, has been deserted by her feckless mother and packed off to stay...
