Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls official art and more

Oh look, another girl with a weapon about twice her size...

A few days ago, I was heartbroken at the minimalistic numbers of Naoe-chan artwork, and so I hunted down the official site in the most complicated way (blog-to-anime-site-to-Hyakka-Ryoran-site) possible since I was using my smarthphone to do this.

Similar to what I did with Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maou, I'll be collecting them into one place that would be [hopefully] easily accessible to all sorts of devices, be it tablets or smartphones.

My favorites of course being Naoe-chan ;)

 Look at Naoe-chan's legs...

Also on board the main site for all things Hyakka Ryoran, is a number of 4koma drawn by Kazahana Chiruwo. I'll admit, this artist does make me look like a recruit lol (to pat myself on the back, I go Black and White). Although, I think one has to know the characters before hand or have novel knowledge to fully enjoy the 4koma, as I'm wondering if these characters really do have these personalities. I uploaded the 4koma to the Hyakka album in case the main site be difficult to browse (my smartphone has next to no east asian language support, or at least Opera Mini doesn't, which can probably be said for Opera Browser too depending on ROM language). Strangely enough, 4koma #10 seems to be inaccessible (too ecchi perhaps? XD). There's 20 (or 21) 4koma so far, with some nice Naoe-chan, Fabio, you got your work cut out for you, buddy.

Here be the sources for these fine arts:

You're probably wondering why I don't list some images though, these should be accessed on sites like Danbooru, Moe Imouto, etc. (funnily enough, the official art of the (novel?) designed girls weren't on Danbooru a couple of days ago, so I got those off Hyakka-Ryoran.net). There's also the reason that, I still have not seen Google's image hosting rules, which I play it safe by not showing 18+ content so as to avoid the Adult tag on my blog. That, and, the Photobucket fiasco had me think twice as to just how often these sites change their TOS or just what is it that ticks them off (tell me why did they have to delete this picture, which was "in violation of their terms").

Let the Twintail love flow

Lately, the only anime I've had the greater part of my mind on is Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls, and it's a no brainer who the girl in that series excites me most, Naoe Kanetsugu. So, in a different approach than the Teruya Eiko interview (which I feel should stand on it's own as the only tail related interview), I'll talk a bit about why the love flows for my Naoe-chan.

7 Days of Anime August 8-14

7 Days of Anime (7DA) is a column by the mangatron where he grades the episode of the week for the series' that he follows. Grades are done with 3 things in mind: 1) How well the episode fits into the current pacing [of the main story], 2) How well it maintained a viewers interest, and 3) overall enjoyment level (Animation quality, sounds of music and voice, and use of story elements).
Legend:
A = Time well spent
B = If it's your cup of tea, drink it
C= Only the fans will enjoy it regardless
+ = And then some
- = Something is missing...


Asobi ni Ikuyo! Episode 05

Uhm... the next cult in line full of crazies, these folks worship the cat (or the kitty ears thereof). Huh, they should just stick to anime/manga/games. That's as close as this world will ever get to them, anyways. And we get to see Aoi meet her mama (har har), like anyone saw that coming.

Asobi ni Ikuyo! Episode 04

 Yet another strange group of people, and the shopping episode. I think these are just as regular as the festivel episode, the swimsuit episode, etc. With the typical "lead male is useless" thing again. I hope this isn't the sterotyping of the glasses dude...

Asobi ni Ikuyo episode 03

With the third episode introducing more characters than the first episode did, this one is standard harem fare. If you never wondered just what is it that makes Kio special, this one will start making you think about that. (Read: nothing to him)

Renovation complete!

Finally, after much deliberation, sweat and lost weight, I renovated the blog. This was an attempt to replace the previous template that was totally not informative. The important changes were:

Renovation test 2

Lol these templates don"t support After Jump

Renovation test

While undergoing renovation, this will be a low level test.

Something like that. pfft free templates, 90% of them don't work.

Blog undergoing renovation

I figured that this vacation would see me going mobile most of the time, so I'm testing templates that would suit a mobile browser while keeping a 3 column layout.

Ah my Majo-chan!

Ah, my dear Majo-chan. I like lolipops too. I even like girls. Now a
girl with a lolipop = an excitation of my nervous system's receptacles
of emotions and feelings.

When will she get her own episode?!?!!!??!
