Link of the Day [6.05.08]

Bamboo Blade has one of the most frightening characters I’ve seen in an anime. She is 宮崎 都, Miyazaki Miyako, and she’s a yanderekko. It’s a anime character trait characterized as loving, but with a dark, black side.

Boy, does Miya-Miya have a dark side! She’s supposedly the pink of the group, but everyone knows she’s also the black. She’s happiest with her acorn-head boyfriend, and also happiest hitting someone. She’s cute and scary. Don’t cross her. Watch out. She’ll crush your nuts!

Finish him

What’s next on the anime list?


I just finished up Bamboo Blade. I think I have a new favorite. So fun. Not overtly showing fanservice. Tama-chan is the bomb.


And Miya Miya. Yanderekko to the max.

Miya Miya.

Since I’m done with Kimikiss Pure Rouge, the next anime I’m watching is Bamboo Blade. It’s the story of five girls gathered together to win a kendo tournament and do it for justice. Or something like that.

I’ve read the manga up to a point and I’m eagerly awaiting for the serialization in the states in the new Yen+ magazine. But the anime is so much better so far because of the personality it imparts onto Tama-chan.

She’s the Kyūzō character, stone face but awesome at kendo. That’s why I’m posting episode 2 instead of the first episode. It shows her at her best. Kawaii! And an expert!

At first, I didn’t understand the meaning of the title. Was it one of those cute japanese word mash ups that didn’t mean anything? Then, with all the characters blushing I finally understand.

That is one tear jerker of a series. Here’s the score for me: 1 couple cheered, 1 couple shrugged. What happens now to the girls that lost? Sakino will end up alright, but Yumi sad, but bravely sallying forth. Gah! Man what a series?!
