Brief Thoughts On: Megumi

Brief Thoughts On: Ontama!
At five episodes of ten to fifteen minutes a piece, Ontama is an anime that I can strongly recommended to most viewers.

Munto is a series characterized by missed opportunities and writing that consistently fails to deliver on its interesting premise.

I was in a sports mood and stumbled upon this anime by accident, but maybe Kaichuu! wasn't the best pick for pride month.
Brief Thoughts On: Canary
Canary is a short and inoffensive OVA, with a curious history attached to it. Not good, but certainly not bad either.
