As the title says, “Episode 4” of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I think watching this episode made me want to watch some baseball. You could say that Suzumiya-sama was the one that got me back into watching baseball.
This is the middle part, but the rest of the episode is pretty awesome as well. You should watch the whole thing.

O-o-o-oh
Grade S on the zettai ryouki scale: grade A thigh high stockings, twin tails, tsundere goodness. Kei-chan!
Good sixth episode for Hatsukoi Limited. The mangaka, Kawashita-sensei, previously did Ichigo 100%. Whereas Ichigo 100% focuses on harem style, love triangle fun, Hatsukoi Limited focuses on love dodecahdron style. Every girl likes some guy who likes some other girl who likes another guy. It’s a nice short read in manga about 4 volumes or so. The anime is faithful to the story because it is so compact. The animation is faithful to Kawashita-sensei’s style. In fact, I think Kei Enomoto is drawn better in the anime. Yet, Kawashita-sensei still rulez with her trademark curvy girls.
Thinking of all things baseball. Last night, the O’s survived at the Texas Rangers with Koji “Kojira” Uehara pitching.
It’s funny what you find in anime. Here’s another baseball centric one. It wants to capture the otaku heart as it is about some teenage girls in Japan in the early 20th century. They decide they want to play baseball, but lack the knowledge of the rules or the equipment to play.
Yeah, I didn’t get this from today’s link. I read it on wikipedia.
Kawashita-sensei of “Ichigo 100%” infamy had written another manga with cute girls, “Hatsukoi Limited.” It’s being made into an anime. Next to Mazukazo of “I”s” fame, she draws wonderfully cute girls. But her boys are a bunch of dolts. Anywhoo, when the anime comes out, I guess I’ll be trying to see if it’s any good. You can always go and read the manga at some scanlation site.
It seems that the big hit anime for otaku this spring is K-ON!. I’m in love with it from the first episode. There’s only been one I’ve seen so far, but dang it’s good. Hopefully.
If you don’t believe me, then ask Danny Choo. And if it’s intriguing enough for you, then check out the episode summaries as the folks at Random Curiosity put them out.
Rereading the seven volumes of Strawberry 100% (Ichigo 100%) in anticipation for next one supposedly due in April. I read at least two chapters a day, and I don’t get more than a few panels before Junpei does something stupid at which I’m screaming at him. Or he doesn’t make a move at which I’m groaning about the whole enterprise. Just stupidity on his part.
I’ve peeked at the ending and read the wikipedia entry so I know who he’s ends up with. That’s eleven volumes away though, but I can’t help but wonder WTF is up with this guy.
All three girls dig him. And the other girls in the book dig him too. WTF just pick one of these girls. You know which one. But they are all so cute. Satsuki? She really, really, really likes you. Aya? She’s too shy to express her feelings. Yui? Isn’t she like your a little sister to you? Tsukasa? She’s not your girlfriend no longer.
YARRGH! You make me crazy, Junpei.

Esquire’s Women We Love 2006 issue features some obscure women that they love. Nothing comes as obscure as this hottie, Melissa Theuriau. She’s a French tv newscaster. Kicks Katie Couric’s ass in looks, and I bet the sad news about the Iraq war would sound some much sexier coming with a French accent. C’est la guerre.
