/ ReviewsRead More →: Demonic rumbles as claymores get squished in episode 21I’m really digging Claymore at the moment and each episode is ending on the kind of gut-wrenching cliff hanger that so tempts me to gorge on manga spoilers.

/ ReviewsRead More →: By way of episode 15, analyzing the appeal of Gurren LagannI watched episode 15 of Gurren Lagann last night. Put simply, it was awesome; the best episode so far, I can’t emphasize that enough. I wanted to blog it right there and then, but threw in the towel after two hours worth of typing had produced little more than a couple of paragraphs lined with…
