I loved this show! It will forever be a favorite,the only thing that I was sad about was that… Well… It ended! My favorite character in the show was Kuro, a black cat-spirit turned demon, who becomes Rin’s familiar. I haven’t seen the movie yet but it’s supposed to be good too. I do plan on watching the movie and will do a review on it soon. I also want to read the manga because it’s supposed to be much longer then the anime, which I’m very excited about.

Available On: Itunes, Amazon, Crunchyroll, Hulu

Review by: Jayce428

This show was really fun and entertaining. It was really interesting that Juli had a male voice, and I wasn’t sure if Juli was supposed to be male or female. I was disappointed that the anime was only 12 episodes long, but it seems that they seem to be making shorter anime series recently though.

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun

This anime is about a high school student Sakura who is in love with her classmate Nozaki. She quickly confesses her love to him, but he misunderstands and thinks she is just a fan. He invites her to his house to help him with some drawings. She discovers he’s actually a renowned shojo manga artist named Sakiko Yumeno. She agrees only as a way to get closer to him. In their adventures they meet other schoolmates that help assist them and help inspire them.

I really enjoyed this anime and the manga. The voice actors matched the characters very well, and overall there was really nothing that I could pinpoint as being negative about the anime or manga.

You can watch the anime at: Animeshow.

Little Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper

little_fuzzy_aceThe place is the planet Zarathustra there you will accompany Little Fuzzy and his family who aided by a few friends as they struggle to have fuzzies recognized as a sapient species with dire consequences if they fail.

Many years (four decades!) ago the book ‘Little Fuzzy’ was handed to me by a family member who had just finished it.  On the cover was a lean older man with a furry little bipedal creature on his shoulder and four more of the creatures around him.  The man was carrying a what appeared to be a futuristic rifle and his little companion was carrying a metallic spear-like tool with a blade on one end and a ball on the other end.
