How many half-hour eps of it have you seen so far? (It's one of those two-15-minute-eps-released-in-half-an-hour shows, like Ninja Nonsense, which is why I qualify it that way.)

Ah, Guchuko's great chestnut chase. I saw frame grabs from that episode and the chase scene looked like it was wonderful.
But the picture of two kids face down in the snow surrounded by blood bothered me a bit. Please, tell me that Guchuko didn't kill them.
Itty bitty legs notwithstanding, it looks as if Guchuko is extremely strong. How else could she move so fast, let alone bouncing up to the tops of houses? How else could she haul the carcass of a cow into Kyo's yard to leave it as a gift?
One time I compared Guchuko to a feral cat. I'm beginning to get the impression that's a lot more accurate than I had realized. She really does seem to like Kyo, but she's not ready to become domesticated.

And the doughnut-and-weighted-basket trap Kyo's mother set had me giggling for a long time. Even if Guchuko had gotten trapped inside it, she'd have shredded that basket with her axe. (And then taped it all back together again.)

Guchuko "killed" about half of Kyo's classmates, but they don't stay dead.

I found a video clip of the snowball fight, including Guchuko's involvement. Looks like she was doing flying kicks, not axe chops. It's amazing something that small can be that dangerous.

Here's the German techno theme with slightly less added weirdness:

Thought not much less, considering this is a show about time-travelling gender-bending lesbian schoolgirls.

What's the title of the show? I need to add it to my "Future Series" list.

Strictly speaking, it's not anime. It's called Winx Club and it comes from Italy.

Small bug alert: text which is part of an a-href doesn't show up in the side bar at all. Getting rid of the link is probably a good idea, but if the text itself is removed the result can be gibberish.

Yep, it's a problem. It's tricky to reliably remove the link without its contents, but I'll see what I can do.

Don't know when I'm going to get back to the fansubbing, but in the meantime, here's some Kei and Yuri for you.

The Honey Files
Never before collected in one place: Three decades of Honey!
Not entirely work-safe. But it's Go Nagai, so duh.

The conversion worked out better than I thought - I'll try some lower bit rates and see how they go. The result looks a bit icky at 1280x720, but Flash-in-a-browser is hardly the ideal delivery vehicle for HDTV anyway.
Boku wa Trap
At least when Pokemon did it, they knew it was a joke.
Also a colour printer. And a pair of scissors. And a sharp knife. And maybe some glue. Oh, and paper. Paper would help.

A de-h'd h-game conversion. Which is not automatically a bad thing (Popotan), but not exactly a star draw either.
Magical girl show featuring a
love interest who turns into a stuffed animal at night. Stereotypically cutesy whiney helpless moe heroine who should be drowned in a bucket.
Rating: Meh

Okay, have you ever seen Pugyuru? Well, imagine that, only more and better, and with a better balance between gross-out and absurdist humour.
If you haven't seen Pugyuru, well, think of something very cute and very weird, and then take the factorial of that.
Probably best taken in small doses, and if possible, in company.
Lawson says it's his favorite series of the summer season. I don't see how it can be all bad given the purple chibi with the battle axe. (And the duct tape.)

I haven't got to the purple chibi yet. But yeah, while it's definitely an absurdist show, it's actually good. So far, anyway.
I've adjusted the rating for you.

OK, that's better. Why didn't you say so in the first place?

I'd say that "cabbage" is a fine rating for the show. The cow on the desk made my day.
