It’s a shame that the list, even in Japanese, doesn’t let us see what would have otherwise come in at number 30 if they had excluded from the list creepy rotoscoped shows that are basically just live-action with […]

The link at the bottom isn’t formatted properly, I just get an error page.

Also, I’d fight those monster girls… with my penis. Especially if there are centaur girls.

Sasaki shows up eventually, in volume 6 of the manga, but I doubt they’ll get to her before season 2.

There’s an arc in volume 4, terminating at the beginning of volume 5, that would seem to me to be an obvious […]

Actually, Kyon’s design is fairly faithful to the YUKI-CHAN manga, where he’s drawn with a far less cynical face compared to the traditional MELANCHOLY version, being a far less cynical character in this […]

I’m nowhere near fluent enough in Japanese to really judge how well a voice fits a character.

I do notice tonal mismatches, when a character’s voice sounds far too mature for a character, and I am specifically […]

Azumanga Daioh was a 4-koma (excluding a few bonus chapters done in a traditional manga format) with minimalist artwork.

Because the source material was mostly set-up, punchline, set-up, punchline, and because […]

If he counts as a “guy”, I’d think I’d like BAKA AND TEST: SUMMON THE BEASTS better if Hideyoshi Kinoshita was the main character.

First female anime supporting character that comes to mind is Touma Minami from MINAMI-KE, as played by the rather popular seiyuu and singer Nana Mizuki.

I could easily see the Minami brothers and tomboyish kid […]

I still wish Taishou Baseball Girls had gotten a second season: it was a perfect anime combination of cute girls’ slice-of-life and high school and sports and period piece (1920s).

I feel like buying all three of them, getting a Slip n’ Slide outdoor water slide, and making them play live-action anime Toobin’ (based on the classic arcade/NES game).

I really like those character designs. They remind me of the designs of late 1970s/early 1980s WORLD MASTERPIECE THEATRE, but updated to the digital era with modern moe sensibilities.

I wouldn’t be brave enough […]

Wanting Sony to remake the original GRAN TURISMO, I fully understand. Kind of. Maybe. I guess. People want the original experience with the music and menus and the same selection of cars and tracks (mind-blowingly […]

If you guys want some 1980s girl/girl pairings:

Kei and Yuri, DIRTY PAIR (duh)
A-Ko and B-Ko, PROJECT A-KO (would rather see them get together with each other than either one with C-Ko)
Madoka and Hikaru, […]

Personally, I’m only interested in shipping Akihisa and Hideyoshi, if Hideyoshi counts as “male”.

Perhaps Toshimitsu Kubo from BAKA AND TEST (has a one-sided gay crush on Akihisa, but otherwise doesn’t act particularly stereotypical)?

I’m surprised not to see Sailors Uranus and Neptune on this list, but I suppose they haven’t shown up in CRYSTAL yet (and won’t for a while).

Some of my favourite not-necessarily-sexual same-sex pairings not on […]

Now I want to see Tsumugi Kotobuki in a crossover keytar jam with Gene Belcher from BOB’S BURGERS.

Ataru Moroboshi was the first character I mentioned, but I suspect URUSEI YATSURA is too old school for this list. I mean, Nobita’s from an anime from the same era, but DORAEMON never really went off the air, and […]

I guess the ultimate bad luck character in anime, Ataru Moroboshii from URUSEI YATSURA, is a bit too “old school” for this list. For that matter, Kyosuke Kasuga from KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD has awesome powers but […]

I already thought of Armin as being a trap, and a lot of ecchi artwork seems to agree with me.
