Sorry, I had to use that line — we of course don’t know if anyone (other than Sei) is gay or bi. My sci-fi professor talks about epistemology every so often; given the nature of science fiction and its tendency to examine how we know what we know, this makes sense. It also means [...]

It’s like the Bespin fight, with more schoolgirls
That’s a Star Wars reference, for those plebians among you. Episode six of Maria-Sama ga Miteru does indeed mark not only the halfway point for the newest season, but also the darkest hour (though perhaps that’s actually the next episode), in which the characters are backed against the wall. I started typing this with no clue [...]

These random acts of violence were brought to you by Pizza Hut…
Well, I gave myself the task of writing about Maria-Sama ga Miteru for a reason, and we have finally struck (some of you may say foundered) upon it — forcing myself to write new and crazy things, outside my typical purview. Well, honestly, last episode’s entry wasn’t in my comfort zone either, perhaps explaining why it [...]

Eve Sedgwick could be on the Yamayurikai
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
