Got two macarons from someone the other day. The filling was a bit too sweet for my taste. The chocolate one tasted better.

Been procrastinating instead of working on what I should be working on, so here's my first (and second, and third) impression of the summer anime season ( Read more... )

Watched Karaoke Iko!, the live action film adaptation of Wayama Yama's manga. Satomi (played by Saitou Jun), a third-year Osaka middle school boy and the president of the school choir club, is asked by Kyouji (played by Ayano Go), a yakuza lieutenant, to teach him how to sing well for the upcoming yakuza karaoke contest.

Not entirely coherent anime post.
