Found on the referrer logs: Bento Physics, a brand-new blog that aims to take a fresh approach to anime and manga. It starts off strong with posts on Ouran High School Host Club and yaoi manga.
The Honolulu Star-Bulletin takes a look at a couple of manga that weren’t blockbuster successes, and explains why. Also, a peek at internet reactions to their article on ADV manga, or rather, the lack thereof.
At Love Manga, David Taylor comments on the latest Flipped.
Hey thanks so much for the positively phrased shout-out. Only four days in and already one of our favorite blogs has mentioned us. That’s quite nice, I say. :D
My pleasure! I like to see in-depth commentary—the more, the merrier.

On ANN forums, there seems to be a significant amount of people that stand by ADV after years of ADV kicking sand in their face. Every few months some semi newbie innocently asks — where’s my ADV book? They tell them to be patient. They’ve grown accustomed to being treated poorly.
Then of course, there are those who gave up and are un-willing to spend a nickle for any ADV series. Like me.
