| 5:41am | Meitantei no Okite Ep. 01 - Locked Room Murder | | | | I recently stumbled upon a new Japanese drama that parodies the ever popular detective drama.

In this portion, a set of guys is forced to pretend to be high school students watching... |

| 4:32pm | Katawa Shoujo Act 1 (Visual Novel Review) | | | | The OELVN community is highly active, yet surprisingly quiet. Most projects tend to slip by in the night, but the very ambitious Katawa Shoujo has a lot of hype outside of the community, probably due to the fact that it was initially born on 4chan. Only the first act has been released, but it's a pretty... |
