Given the nature of the latest Maria-Sama ga Miteru episode (specifically, episode four, wherein wacky hijinks ensue not in gardens, but in a gym and a restroom), I thought I might take the opportunity to talk about gender in Marimite. Actually, I thought I would make a few notes about gender in Marimite, as that would [...]

Re: The hand-made planet — fancy’s spring, but sorrow’s fall
Now that I’ve challenged the heterosexuality of your pure, innocent gondoliers, let’s explore the gritty underbelly of the planet they gondolier upon. Not that the underbelly is really very gritty; normally it’s just pleasantly soft and susceptible to the application of stimuli, like that of a cat. It isn’t perfect, no, but it’d be boring [...]

Oh sweet hegemony, your pleats are neat.
Did this latest episode of Maria-Sama ga Miteru drop early, or is it just me? Anyway, keeping with my tradition (uh, that’s what I’m calling it, shut up), I’m coming up with a third post in my ongoing series attached (not always about, but at least attached) to the fourth series. Watching this third episode, wherein [...]

Toradora: the myth, the legend — the jousting?
Way back in the first Voice Module, Pontifus challenged me to apply mythology to Toradora! I am here today to accept that challenge, no matter how many souls I destroy in my mad quest for the perfect explanation. This is definitely exploratory writing, so I have no idea if I’ll arrive at any kind of useful [...]

Re: Martian love, or lack thereof — you want me to wear what kind of goggles!?
You may recall my glut of posts on Aria the Animation, some of which ended inconclusively. Now that I’ve read Aqua, the ten-chapter beginning of the Aria manga, what is there to do but grab those loose ends that dangle annoyingly before me and tie them together with the wrath of an angry god? Let’s [...]

The Lillian Experiment
The idea of religion, Japan, culture, and varying admixtures thereof has probably been beaten to death — certainly we’ve done quite a bit of it recently (it’s all Kannagi‘s fault, really). It’s probably even been worn out on the subject of Marimite, but I thought I would wander around in the quagmire for a bit [...]
