Connie on 5 Centimeters per Second: "It doesn’t share the overly sappy or idealistic version of romance one finds in shoujo, nor the more sexualized and/or also idealistic version one might find in shounen or seinen."
Sean Gaffney on the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic panel at NYCC: "Hasbro gets premises and outlines to approve, and notes they do listen to the audience – though they will not be crossing over with Transformers."
Bamboo Dong on Freezing: "While I was mostly accepting of the fanservice in Freezing, there were a few scenes that I thought really could have tried harder. "
Lianne Sentar on Vampire Knight: "Don’t believe everything the media tells you – some teenage girls have sex, but lots are just interested in sex in theory. They want boys, and they want sex, but not actually. That’s exactly what Vampire Knight gives them – boys, and sex, but not actually."
Katherine Dacey on Vampire Knight: "Vampire Knight — like a lot of literature for teenagers — offers thirteen- and fourteen-year-old girls a safe outlet for imagining what adult relationships are like, minus the mundane stuff comes after the forbidden sexy biting: arguing about dirty dishes, paying the mortgage, attending parent-teacher conferences."
Karen Peck on Canon: "The names crack me up, too. “Rod” just doesn’t sound… menacing. Rod and Glenn sound like they’d be assistant managers at an Office Depot, not powerful vampires."
"I think it’s a little hypocritical of a vampire to wear turtlenecks anyway."
