mini mezzo-forte review:
i was laughing my butt off… very funny…
in contrast to (a)kite, this is very, very black comedy/humor (which – in contrast to what i’ve seen of excel saga – actually works), and it was constructed in such a way than you can edit out the sex w/o having an impact on the story (probably at mediablasters request), so that if hentai is not your cup of tea, you most likely won’t miss anything vital if you get the “cut” version.
so, if the (copious?) violence does not put you off, it’s very funny and incredibly well animated… ^_^

little bit of manga news:
read shadow star (by Mohiro Kitoh). excellent. odd. cute. dark. irritating.
also very good is short program (by Mitsuru Adachi): excellent human short stories.
if you simply want to be entertained, and liked “initial d”, try harlem beat (by yuriko nishiyama).

seems that fansubs are dying. this is not a good thing(tm). causes are quick pick-up by US-companies (good) and digisubs (bad). instead of hoarding digisubs onto your hdd and cdrs, buy the dvds!
