Maybe I'll even add some rants and such throughout to keep things interesting.

For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Kyousuke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever. One day, however, Kyousuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime entitled Hoshikuzu Witch Merle (Stardust Witch Merle), which had fallen into the entranceway of his house. To Kyousuke's surprise, inside the case is a hidden adult video game titled Imouto to Koishiyo! (Love with Little Sister!). Kyousuke attempts to fish out the culprit who dropped the case by bringing up the topic of magical girl anime at the family dinner table. All that comes out is a strong negative reaction from his parents, especially his anti-otaku policeman father. That night, Kirino bursts into Kyousuke's room and, in perhaps the first conversation she has initiated with him in years, says they "have things to talk about." Kirino brings Kyousuke to her room and shows him an extensive collection of moe anime and lolicon bishoujo games she has been collecting in secret.</div><div><br /></div><div>Episodes: 12</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Opening Song: </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(76, 76, 76); "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"></span></span><center><span class="Apple-style-span"><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NxnYOsWKwvA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></span></center></div>SandDanzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03602538086584822692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944314111540451175.post-65915801946747335822011-01-30T17:34:00.001-08:002011-01-30T17:35:48.310-08:00Book 7 of 2011: Jack of Fables 2: Jack of Hearts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HjFFNcfWBlE/TUYR6yxY-kI/AAAAAAAAAe4/1HOhzGgzTTM/s1600/jack-of-fables-vol-2-jack-of-hearts-trade-paperback.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HjFFNcfWBlE/TUYR6yxY-kI/AAAAAAAAAe4/1HOhzGgzTTM/s320/jack-of-fables-vol-2-jack-of-hearts-trade-paperback.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568157691049212482" /></a>SandDanzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03602538086584822692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944314111540451175.post-17024366405179293102011-01-28T11:51:00.000-08:002011-01-29T18:25:40.407-08:00Anime 2 of 2011: Vampire Knight Season 1<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HjFFNcfWBlE/TUB8ZyEBnQI/AAAAAAAAAes/2nphEGl0f5U/s1600/vampire-knight.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566585921807162626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HjFFNcfWBlE/TUB8ZyEBnQI/AAAAAAAAAes/2nphEGl0f5U/s320/vampire-knight.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Synopsis:<br /><br />Yuki's earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, wherein she was attacked by a vampire...

The actual reason she is so tanned is because she was on the swim team and tans very easily. She likes a boy, Toji, who she heard only likes non-tanned girls. This causes her to question who she is and have low self esteem. She spends a lot of time trying to remake herself into the girl she believes he wants. However, she has a friend, Sae, who likes to go behind Momo's back and make her life terrible, mostly by trying to take Toji away from her. All the while there's another boy, Kairi, who is in love with Momo.</p><p>Episodes: 25</p><p>Opening song:</p><p><center><iframe class="youtube-player" title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cyen8rnMuRI" frameborder="0" width="480" height="390" type="text/html"></iframe></center><p></p><div style='clear: both;
