		<description><![CDATA[The Ichigo 100% ending sequence might seem ok if you don&#8217;t have any rhythm. Otherwise it&#8217;s painfully off-beat. The strawberries are off, the marching is off, and the marching doesn&#8217;t even sync up with the strawberries. Did they think we wouldn&#8217;t notice? Did they think we wouldn&#8217;t care? I don&#8217;t know anything about hand-drawn graphics, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like anime. Japan isn&#8217;t anime. Q.E.D. Like most people, I enjoy a good story. Anime has consistently delivered better stories than any other form of entertainment I&#8217;ve ever come across. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m a fan. There&#8217;s nothing uniquely Japanese about it, nor do the brilliant stories that drew me to anime exist in Japan [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Behavioral and psychological studies have repeatedly shown that people value first impressions and final impressions a lot more than anything in between. Not me. I&#8217;m a middle man. Some of favorite shows have beginnings or endings that flat-out suck, but none of my favorite shows are anything short of brilliant in the middle. To account [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[90% of all betesticled anime characters look like girls. Many have six-pack abs yet act like complete pussies. Only one part of the body never lies: sideburns. In this dark age of androgyny and pedophilia, sideburns are the only reliable indicator of manliness. Thick, thin, long, short, neat, sloppy, straight, tapered—as long as you have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Naraku is too damn brave. He needs to wuss out of more fights and try manipulating third parties from afar, thereby subjecting Inu Yasha&#8217;s gang to a profound test of character: will they kill the innocent or be killed themselves? Too many power-ups are the well-deserved fruits of arduous training. Once in a while, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All it took for Queen&#8217;s Blade to win my endorsement was a single episode. Twenty-three episodes later, I&#8217;m doubling down. I wouldn&#8217;t watch Queen&#8217;s Blade if it had a shitty story. Forget for a moment the stereotype that hentai/ecchi/fanservice anime have flimsy plots. A plot that&#8217;s &#8220;not bad for an ecchi anime&#8221; still wouldn&#8217;t cut [...]]]></description>

Each girl represents a different fetish: one is a loli, one is a sadist, one is a tomboy, one is a pussy, and one is a male. Every day in the student council room, these five girls continuously screw around and drop references until [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cromartie High School? Slice-of-life? Holy shit, that would kick ass! I would do anything to live in a world where it&#8217;s plausible, let alone ordinary, to go to school with a sentient robot, a sushi-making gorilla, and Freddie Mercury. Unfortunately, Cromartie High School is the least realistic anime I have ever seen. That&#8217;s not to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(From Maddox&#8217;s Comic) Last season I was watching this lesbian show called Aoi Hana. It started off pretty slow, but approximately halfway into the series, one of the girls got dumped. Perfect. All the slow-moving drama would pay off tenfold if that goody two-shoes lesbian kid were to transform into a rancorous and psychotic distortion [...]]]></description>
