Alter Shigure Asa :: Grassy field in the evening

As usual, I should have seen it coming. Or rather, I should have heard it coming. The running footfalls approaching from behind. The intake of breadth. Perhaps even the swinging of her arm through the air. There was, of course, no missing either the loud greeting of "HELLO!" and the slap on the back.
'You sure are late going home today!' she chirped.
'You too, Asa-senpai.'
asread atones for Okawari with Okaeri
Ever since SHUFFLE! I have been watching asread's career with great interest. But Minami Ke Okawari was a big disappointment, not so much due to the art or animation but because the humour compared poorly to the first season by They of the Cabbage Love, Doumu. The three Minami sisters just seemed off-kilter; Haruka alternated between being hapless and mean; Kana was unlovably stupid; Chiaki was too bratty.
I was arguing with Stripey that Ga-Rei Zero has been disappointing. Because Kagura was whiny - definitely not a Good Job from Minorin here. The middle part was just dumb. See also #2-5 in Baka Raptor's post. *But* having just read tjhan raging on the manga (which I didn't pick up because I thought the art was fugly), I'm starting to think that Ga-Rei Zero was another case of asread being able to make the most out of rather poor source material so I'll still give it Good Job overall. But not as far as declaring it the top series for Fall 08.
FMZ! The Second Raid on Akiba

The Nanoha Mobile!!! Parked along the road on the right of the overhead rail when crossing from Gamers side.
Comp H Vol.3 and Megami DELUXE Vol.8

Thanks to Shingo, I rushed to purchase a copy of Comptiq Heroines Vol.3 (2007 Spring). Amazon.co.jp then just had to flag Megami DELUXE Vol. 8 (other people who bought X also bought Y...) with Asa-senpai in all her waitressing glory on the cover. As moyism sayeth unto us: Evil I tells you.
The orzdoration of the lolicons

Then the King of Lolicons called the PPP secretly and found out from them the exact place the image had appeared. He sent them to Japan and said, 'Go and make a careful search for the loli. As soon as you find her, report to me, so that I may go and worship her.'
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the original illustration collection they had seen on the web went ahead of them until the search engines stopped over the place where the loli was. When they saw the collection, they were overjoyed. On coming to the place, they saw the loli as illustrated by Itou Noizi, and they orzed and worshipped her. Then they opened their treasures and presented her with gifts of camellia and of loli-meido-siscon uniform and of purr. Because a cat is fine too.
Apologies to Matthew (the Apostle rather than the animeblogger) and everyone else who gets annoyed by this perverse take on a motif of the festive season. OTL
