Sorry for the delay between posts; Miranda asked recently if she could watch Haibane Renmei (which I highly recommend), so we’ve spent many of our recent evenings going through that. And I don’t have a real post now, either, but I’ll at least give a link round-up. (Besides, the Zork walkthrough is much more awesome than anything I’m likely to generate myself.)

Haibane Renmei is amazing. A few years back I watched one episode and immediately ordered two sets off of eBay. One was for me, the other for a friend and his wife. I knew after one episode that it’d be the perfect gift for them and it turned out to be one of their favorite animes. It’s a rather special anime, though certainly not for everyone. Have you seen Mushi-shi? You should if you haven’t.
Good links this week. I’m passing around that EBA/Phoenix Wright mashup. Strange.

Thanks for the Mushi-shi tip. I’ve read one volume, I think, of the Manga, but haven’t watched the anime. I quite liked the volume that I read, I should really read more!
