Oh, well …. at least the thing is working again.

Kamichu, the Girl-Child God
Eric had written a special guest blog entry for Kamichu, an Anime series about a girl who somehow becomes a god. Not a great god, but a good one. The text was lost in the Great Database Debacle, but here’s the video…

As Eric pointed out, this sequence is atypical for the show, which is mostly slice-of-life vignettes, sometimes featuring little spirit creatures.
Kino Kicking Again
Here’s another repost of an entry about an Anime title that was lost to the database error. We’ve watched the entire series of Kino’s Journey, which turned out to be one of our favorites.
