Hyouka Episode 1 - The Esteemed Classics Club Has Been Restored

The very first Anime related Google Search Term to break 10 referrals in a single week is Hyouka! As promised, since this blog doesn't provide much Hyouka other than the season preview and the coming season review, I'm going to provide. Since what you guys are actually looking for can't be determined by the search terms I'll just be providing a bunch of stuff including videos, art, screenshots, and an in depth review of the first episode (spoilers)! Also due to this blog's increasing popularity I'm going to set the next goal to 20 referrals. If this article receives enough feedback (needs moar comments!) I may consider blogging the entire series as some other authors do.

The Story Thus Far - Sankarea Episode 3

Hello readers! Josh has been kind enough to offer me a position as a writer on his blog, so I've packed up my bags from my own blog at Moe Life, No Life, and made the transition over here. I'll begin resuming my regular articles from there, and add in some new stuff along the way!

This week, we have The Story Thus Far with Sankarea Episode 3.

Sankarea is one of those weird stories that's great, don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely in love with it, but there's just so much wrong with it as well.

We'll start from the beginning, and the most glaring thing. The main character is pretty much a necrophiliac. I mean, anime isn't exactly prudent when it comes to staying within social norms, and neither is the Japanese artistic sense. But seriously, the guy comes out flat out and says he wants only to be with a zombie. Yeah, he's a kid, I get that, but at the same token it's clear he's probably never been in the presence of an actual decomposing body because let's face it.

It's not exactly the first thing I think of when I think of sexy.

But whatever, onto the anime.
