Posted on 2005/05/29 by Zyl

One of the reasons why Stripey and I are good pals is because we appreciate beauty. Even though we have very different taste in our real life and anime ladies, we can often appreciate each other’s point of view. It … Continue reading →

Mai HiME: Nuts About Natsuki

Posted on 2005/05/14 by Zyl

Spoilerific! What I immediately noticed about Shizuru Fujino was her Kyoto accent. A lot of animes have a character from Kansai but they are usually Osaka-ben speakers e.g. Ayumu Kasuga (Osaka) of Azumanga Daioh, Kero of Cardcaptor Sakura, Mitsune Konno … Continue reading →
