He tried to step back, but a purple aura flared around him and hoisted him into the air. Dropping the gun carelessly onto the floor, she floated into the air to once again look him in the eyes. "What do you want." He managed to choke out. "I want to teach you a lesson." She raised a fist as though to strike him, but instead, she started to unbutton the front of her plain red suit. Like a snake shedding his skin, she slipped out of it in one fluid movement, and dropped it onto the floor as well. Clad only in a light...

But then most would have remembered how they came to be laying upside-down against the opposite cavern wall much less who had done it to them. The cause of the current discomfort of ridding up shorts would have certainly reminded them. But then again, they weren't this Murray. Brittany Diggers for her part was too worried to think about...

To be assured a Johnston, if not a Murray, had been on the beaches of Normandy and Okinawa. Had and was currently performing technical, medical or culinary artistry if not making works of art. There were also some who dug ditches, hauled garbage and mugged old ladies for a living just as anyone with or without a name was bound to do. But any Johnston, much less a Murray, would have only been too happy that an accountant who bore their name had changed it to Otto von Slegenhimer after an external audit...

It's a great week for anime releases: RahXephon 1 with box, X 4, Fruits Basket 3 and Berserk 5. All of my favorite series and then some. I almost felt overwhelmed when I saw that box waiting for me at the front door earlier this week. It's so much fun to be an anime fan right now. Of the four, I've only been able to watch a couple so far. Interesting they were the ones I've already previously seen: RX and FB. Like RadicalBender, I was impressed with what I saw. The colors are bright, the overall design is clean, and the...

In the end, it came down to either RahXephon or Ai Yori Aoshi. RahXephon, being the far better series, was poised to win the battle, but as I stood in the anime aisle at Best Buy this weekend, holding RahXephon Vol. 3 in one hand and Ai Yori Aoshi Vol. 3 in the other, I realized something: RahXephon is a 7 disc release, with an inconsistent episode count to boot. Ai Yori Aoshi, on the other hand, is a 5 disc release, with a set episode count of 5 per disc. Sex Toons...

Anyone who's read what I've written here for long enough knows that Love Hina almost demolished my opinion of the harem genre, after years of enjoying stuff like Tenchi Muyo! and El-Hazard. Between Keitaro's long-running status of being an invertebrate and Naru's propensity to treat Keitaro at a level of respectability only slightly higher than that of a below-average throw rug, Love Hina managed to completely drive me up a wall simply because the "predestined love" between Keitaro...
