Insanity Chronicles: Get it now on Gumroad!

After an EXHAUSTING night, Insanity Chronicles is finally published on Gumroad. Expect a review of the service by next week. I may review Calibre sooner than that once I rise from the dead faint I am in now. To reprise:

Insanity Chronicles is about two beings falling in love at the wrong place, the wrong time…and with the wrong person. But love never was sane, to be honest. It doesn’t care that he is a law student looking to fade away in time and she is an assassin fated to end the world.

Insanity Chronicles the clean version will have a special launch price of $2 but next week, along with the dirty version, the price will be $3 each. If you wait, you can buy both for $5 and have extra bonus of character notes, author’s commentary and special sketches and a sneak peek at the Insanity Chronicles Otome Game! Insanity Chronicles is available in most of the formats that can be read by e-readers and smart phones: epub, mobi, lit, and pdf.

Double Yaoi Picture Show [Review]

Today I am not bringing you not one but two reviews in one. Not because I can’t be assed to review a longer series or that these are so short thus not worth mentioning- this is VALUE and I am sure my readers appreciate value, right? Right. Anyway, in this review I am going to be talking about two OVAs that have a bolted down place in fandom: Koisuru Boukun and Sensitive Pornograph.

Houkago no Pleiades [Review]

It’s mixed bag when a company decides to make a show just to advertise their product. The most notable success being the Toy Cartoons of the 70s like Transformers. More recently, Houkago no Pleiades came into being and the marriage of mahou shojou, cars and stars was complete. It is a cute anime and yes it is an advertisement for automaker Subaru but maybe we can forgive that in this short and sweet net series.

Set The World On Fire [Sunday Wrap Up]

Welcome to the latest edition of Sunday Wrap Up where I, Mitzumi Kare, give you a little commentary on the Mind of Mitzumi and commentary on the posts this past week. Hit the jump and let’s go.

Nyoro~n Churuya-San [Review]

Here we go!

There is a wave of anime now that aren’t broadcast on TV but on the web instead. Usually these are based on webcomics or spinoffs of popular tv series. These are called ONA or Original Net Animation. One such series is Nyoro~n Churuya-San, a cute 2 minute per episode web series that manages to be cute, heartfelt and funny without a lot of frill. Let’s Check it out!

Tenjho Tenge [Review]

Tenjho Tenge has a lot going for it- boobs, action, intrigue but a lot of failings as well- censorship, a much hated anime and a manga that dragged on over a course of 15 years. The plot is very convulted, the cast misleading and the art swinging crazily from porn to gonk to damn near mishounen in  a matter of panels. Well I for one am willing to step out of the crowd and defend this hidden masterpiece. Join me as I explain what makes the manga worth reading and a few points of the anime that makes it worth watching as well.

 

 

Kiss Me Again [Recommendations]

In this edition of Fict Rec Tuesday, we have 2 fluffy ficts and two dark ficts. Here we go!

Fallen is a rather dark Teen Titans fict that is Slade/Robin and has more pairings as it goes on. On one hand I like how deep it goes into angst- like a train wreck you cannot look away. The female characters are killed off for no good reason and it more or less devolves into a gay orgy of sorts. Yes this one has a bad end and it’s a song fict but it’s so bad it’s good so read it for ironic amusement. Rated M for violence, death, gore, self harm, and of course, sex. Complete.

On the good side of things we have Everyday Love, inspired by YoukaiYume’s collection of comics by the same name. It’s an InuYasha drabble series that follows Shesshomaru and Kagome as they live their lives in the modern world as any other couple. It’s pretty damn cute and fluffy and most of the characterization is spot on. Rated PG for some suggestiveness. Complete

Jumping back to the dark side is a REALLY dark fict by the name of Submission. It’s a Yu-Gi-Oh! fict in which Yami allows himself to be tortured by a madman that holds Yugi hostage. The story follows the aftermath of that in which his sanity unravels and he becomes someone he doesn’t know. There are no stated pairings but if you squint I would say darkshipping. There is a sequel called Domination and it gets REALLY strange towards the end but it is an ending. Rated M for rape, violence, suicidal thoughts and self harm. Complete.

Finishing this off with fluff we have 30 Kisses: Seiya Kou and Tsukino Usagi, a Sailor Moon fict has inspired another series of images by YoukaiYume. It’s a collection of drabbles that follows Seiya [Sailor Star Fighter] and Usagi’s [Sailor Moon] relationship in little glimpses. It’s really fluffy and again the characterization is pretty spot on. Rated PG for a bit of suggestiveness. Complete

That’s all for this week! Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions, arguments and concerns.

Re: Cutie Honey [Review]

The 70s were a fun time: loose boobs, free love and more camp than you can shake a stick at. It was also a great time for anime, though an import was hard to come by but I consider this more of the golden age of anime than any other era. A good summation of this was Cutie Honey and with this remake much of it’s charm is captured, or is it?
