Anticipation (of those Negima! 266 Spoiler Images) Sadly, nothing has been posted yet, though I see the Japanese are asking where the spoiler images are. The only thing that has been posted is this ad for the audio drama CD, which appears to have a story of Ala Rubra. Maybe this is one of the

Thanks For an Incredible Month!


Hey gang! It has been an incredible month for the blog. Despite the main counter application being down for a few days due to a server move, the stats from it show a huge explosion of traffic last month like I’ve never seen before. ^_^ So I wanted to thank you all for your continued

Hata-sensei (Hayate no Gotoku) and Akamatsu-sensei (Negima!)


In volume 12 of Hayate the Combat Butler manga, Hata-sensei made a reference to a character from Negima! (specifically, Nagi Springfield).

Love Hina Lovin’ on 09-09-09


I am SO far behind, it isn’t even funny. I’m hoping to be able to grab a few days soon and do some catch up, both on the anime front and on the manga front. ^_^; In the meantime, in my stumbling around the Interwebs once upon a time, I happened upon this nifty “cosplay

A Nifty Slayers Wallpaper (and some not so nifty text)


No clue were I picked this up from, but the art looks like the same art from the various Slayers light novel covers. I’m not versed in all the cover art so one of you who IS edumacated can let me know. ^_^ I think this is my favorite piece of Slayers artwork. I like
