Fujoshi O'Clock (8/31/12)

What time is it? It's . . . Fujoshi O'Clock, the biweekly feature at Nagareboshi Review, when I bring to you the latest fujoshi-related news and reviews and various shiny BL-flavored things. Why? Because rotten girls need love too!

This week on Fujoshi O'Clock:

• Brain Vs. Book has an interview with manga-ka est em, discussing her various works and art style.
• Ogiue Maniax's Fujoshi Files continues on with File #52: Chiba Yuki from the manga Fujoshi Rumi, legendary Fullmetal Prince yaoi fangirl, and File #53: Aoi Haruka from Fujoshi Rumi, the author behind Vitamin Wonderful.
• Old post is old, but I found labingi's post discussing the manga Banana Fish to be very interesting and thought-provoking as it discusses Banana Fish's place within boys' love despite technically not being BL.
• The Geek Girl Project also wrote a post on the manga Banana Fish - which apparently had a live action musical? Awesome!

Reviews:

• Connie from Slightly Biased Manga reviews Cigarette Kisses by Nase Yamato, a salaryman threesome one-shot from the good ol' days of Deux Comics.
• Brain Vs. Book reviews Natsume Ono's basso, a cinematic BL experience set in Italy from 2009.
• Dear Author reviews My Darling Kitten Hair by Haruko Kumota, in which the actual story apparently has nothing to do with the title but is still funny and entertaining.

Am I missing your blog? Got some awesome fujoshi-related news and reviews you think deserve a shout-out? Poke me with a link and a bit of description over at my Twitter: @theseventhl. I'm always on the look out for more BL love!

The Story So Far: NakaImo

NakaImo episode 5: He thought it was over but his little sister keeps calling. Shogo discovers someone else has the same prototype phone as Konoe.

NakaImo episode 6: Lyrical Sisters is on the verge of shutting down, Shogo puts together and executes a plan worthy of the Mikadono name.

NakaImo episode 7: Using the school broadcast system, Shogo’s “sister”, has requested he stops looking for her or she will reveal damaging secrets. (Source: Crunchyroll)

My god, it's back! The NakaImo blogging has returned! Because I am very much sure that what Nagareboshi Review readers have missed most of all during my week-long hiatus is a continual blogging schedule around the wonders of moe incest roulette. Right? Yes! And here we come with a trio of episodes sure to both entertain and make you bang your head against the wall with its consistent plot holes and Shougo's continual refusal to actual talk to any of the girls he considers his imouto in order to wind down the list of candidates. Ah, anime! Let us continue.

Awesome Piece Of 'The Avengers' News Of The Day

I can't believe that Marvel isn't intentionally leaking these clips, I just can't. Anyway, in anticipation of the upcoming DVD/Blu-Ray release of not only the Avengers but also the impressive looking Avengers Assembled 10-disc box set (with sweet Tesseract action), we have the original opening scene for the film, featuring SHIELD agent Maria Hill being debriefed.

Note: This scene will only be accessible on the Blu-Ray, not the DVD-only release.

So, um, good job Marvel. I kinda wish they had stuck with this as the opening instead of the awkwardly placed opening that hits theatres. Also, JUST TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY.

AMV Of The Week: Back Seat Angels

This week’s AMV is a pick from this year's Natsucon, a beautiful little vid featuring the goddesses and their angel companions from Kosuke Fujishima's Ah! My Goddess series. For someone's debut fan vid, it's made very well and the music fits the story on-screen perfectly.

AMV: Angel Hiding In Your Backseat
Author: Onairek
Music: Noteworthy's "Backseat"
Warnings: Spoilers for the angel arc of Ah! My Goddess.
