Yuuto goes to a party for butlers and maids. Impressions: I was surprised with how much I liked this episode, especially considering Haruka wasn’t in it at all. I figured an episode that didn’t feature the main female would be useless, as it obviously wouldn’t develop any relationship between them, but I have to say I liked [...]

Who knew that maids and butlers had their own union? Well, they do in Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - Purezza at least, which leads to Yuuto (who worked as a butler for a while a couple of episodes back) getting himself an invite to said union's end of year party.It just so happens that this year's big bash is being held by the Nogizaka family, which means that (with one exception) we get

I am not a lolicon Another awesome episode of breaking cliches while staying in the genre. They even waited until the fifth episode to do a swimsuit episode, and it wasn’t even at the beach! And of course, Mika had on a sexier swimsuit than Haruka and Shiina, this show is trying to turn [...]

Nogizaka Haruka 5 is chock full of fanservice. What more can I say? Apart from the serious overdose of swimsuit action and deredere Haruka, there are a few panty shots and a few almost-naked teasers. Sasuga harem series. This anime is targeted at perverts. *wink This teacher has just hinted at a possible new swimsuit. Oh I’m [...]

Last episode, I was pretty tough on what I felt was Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu's turn towards mediocrity. Episode five certainly doesn't assuage those feelings entirely by any means, but it has at least softened my feelings towards the show a little again. It was pretty inevtiable that this was coming, but this latest instalment well and truly sets up the kind of love triangle that we've come

This entry will be short, due to lack of time, and the fact that the episode this week was not that complex. Shiina, the panty-flashing girl seen in previous episodes, is finally introduced as a new transfer student in Yuuto’s and Haruka’s school. She is as talented as Haruka, and admires her deeply, due to [...]

Well, the swimsuit episode had to happen sooner or later… Shiina finally gets a proper introduction, but I’m more interested in the schedule for Men’s Group A and B Handball in Beijing. Shiina…. don’t care much for her at all. She reeks of generic. She can do practically everything, she doesn’t go berserker (Show him your [...]

I got so busy and this episode post was so delayed that I ended up watching the episode with fansubs. Kind of gets rid of the whole purpose of me downloading the raw, but I still took raw screencaps. After all, I couldn’t afford to not talk about this episode. This is where love-coms get down [...]
