11.08.2008: Just a quick note: Hulu (http://www.hulu.com) has recently added three of the shows listed here to their site. At the link below you can find Shuffle!, Tsukuyomi (Moon Phase), and KimiNozo (Kimi ga Nozomu Eien). However, all three have English voicing, so if that bothers you as much much as it does me, you may want to pass. Otherwise, here's the link:

09.22.2008: After taking a look at the fall anime lineup, the following shows show promise for romance:
October 1st -
ToraDora - Takusu Ryuuji is very kind, but his intimidating face gives him problems. He meets Aisaka Taiga who is know as the "hand-held Tiger" and lacks any friends or connection with her own family because of her temper. They begin a love hate relationship.
Rosario+Vampire - Capu2 - 2nd season
October 2nd -
Clannad:After Story - Sequel to Clannad exploring an additional story path in the game.
Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka - In order to protect Yuuhi Katagiri, a new transfer student, from danger, Junichi Nagase is forced to kiss her. Not understanding what happened, she screams at him to "just die", not knowing that her father has arranger for her to marry him.
October 4th -
Kemeko Deluxe - A chibi robot doll appears in the room of a typical high school boy. The robot claims the boy as her husband and then a beautiful girl comes out of the doll’s mouth who knows the boy from 10 years prior and had been promised his hand in marriage.
To Aru Majutsu no Index - Set in a city of scientifically advanced superhuman students, but in a world where magic is also real. Toma Kamijo’s right hand, the Imagine Breaker, will negate all magic, psychic, or divine powers, but not his own bad luck. One day he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing. She turns out to be a nun from the Church of England, and her mind has been implanted with the Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum - all the magical texts the Church has removed from circulation
October 5th -
Macademi Wasshoi! - Magician’s Academy revolves around Takuto Hasegawa, who attends a magic academy that is not marked on any map. During a summoning spell exam, he accidentally creates a girl named Tanarot, who happens to hold enough magical power to destroy his country, but fortunately Tanarot professes undying loyalty to her “creator".
08.26.2008: Given the absence for some months of previews on the site - not to mention additions and updates - now that I've reformulated the previews, I thought it prudent to provide a status report. Here goes...
1. Veoh.com sucks. They kept removing videos and eventually closed this site's account even after I sent copyright counter-notices up the wazoo.
2. All previews are now hosted by me. If they (the idiots who think my freely advertising their products for them is a bad thing) want the previews removed, they will have to go through me and actually prove they own the copyrights AND that posting them here doesn't constitute a "fair use" under U.S. law. Good luck with that.
3. Law school sucks. No, I barely have time to drink, much less add new shows, books, films, etc.
4. (last) Even though I don't have much free time, now that I've worked out the preview/trailer issue, I should be able to get back to adding to the site. As always, comments and suggestions are always welcome; just click on the contact link at the top of the page.
03.23.2008: Given the recent addition of a games section, check out this article explaining why some "H-Games" are better described as romances than as "porn":
Heart-wrenching Hentai
by Leigh Alexander
"I've just finished a game whose story left me changed. At times viscerally uncomfortable, at others touching, it was a story of filial love, coming-of-age, the fragility of childhood and the bleakness of mortality.
It's called Kana: Little Sister,..."
