I largely agree with you, Snow. I haven’t altogether liked SM: Crystal so far, but I enjoyed this episode more than the previous ones. Mako-chan kicking huge amounts of ass certainly made for a satisfying conclusion, and I thought the pacing and animation also improved noticeably this episode. I’m still reserving final judgement for when the whole gang is assembled, but I think today’s ep was a step in the right direction! Now it’s onward to Minako!

Few things in the world make me happier than when a fellow Kiyone fan joins up, so you are most welcome in my book! Yay Sailor Jupiter! Like I said over in the Sailor Moon thread, Jupiter was my favorite scout back in the day, and she still holds a special place in my heart! She’s tough, she’s sensitive, and she’s tall!

Awesome design, plus great use of hard science results in this fantastic series about humanity’s struggle for survival in the era of faster than light travel. Gurren Lagann (one of my other favorite mecha series, btw) may have the biggest scale of all, but Gunbuster is the series that first introduced mind boggling hugeness into the genre, with kilometer long ships, planet sized weapons, and enemy fleets numbering in the billions!

" /> I recently had the pleasure of opening this beauty for the purpose of introducing a friend to sake. At $22, this is certainly the most expensive sake I’ve ever bought, but it was worth the price. Like most sakes, this one has a very fruity taste to it, and it is very smooth. This is the first sake I’ve bought that I’ve noticed tastes distinctly better chilled than at room temperature, which is interesting as there usually isn’t much of a difference. All in all, a very good sake, especially if you’re saving up for a party or something, as the extra volume is a nice plus. For a good intro/go-to sake I recommend something from the
Momokawagrealgood stuff you’re going to have to either import directly, which for residents of some of the more… overzealous… states can be a bit difficult, or go to a nice Japanese restaurant and sample their wares. For that purpose, here is a pic of the tasting notes for a sample flight I got at my favorite sushi place back home. (Sorry for the slight fuzziness of the pic. I probably should have taken it beforeconsuming the sake blush1 ).
" /> Anyway, starting from left to right. The first was a “semi-filtered” sake, which means it had a cloudy look to it, and a creamier taste. It was probably the most unique sake I’ve ever had. The second was my favorite of the bunch (and my favorite sake to date!), and it had an incredible aroma that easily overpowered the others, and the taste was just as strong. I didn’t care too much for the third entry, mostly due to the caramel notes. Finally, the fourth sake was as its card says, “well rounded,” and “perfect.” It was like any normal sake, but… better
