Posted on March 17, 2015 by baudattitude

The Eternal Spinning Maid

Posted on March 14, 2015 by baudattitude

Posted on February 28, 2015 by baudattitude

So much plot

Posted on October 14, 2014 by baudattitude

So moe-no-hi (10/10) was last week, and I celebrated by watching Strike Witches.  It’s one of those shows that is infamous for having absolutely shameless amounts of fanservice, and I can report that it pretty much lives up to the … Continue reading →

Posted on July 18, 2014 by baudattitude

I’ve been known to go quite a bit out of my way to go to places I’ve seen in anime.  I went all the way to freakin’ KOCHI, of all places, just because I really liked Umi ga Kikoeru, and … Continue reading →
