We would like to wish all our readers a happy holiday as well as a happy new year. Here's hoping 2009 will be a little easier on us with the crappy anime and a bit more generous with the watchable ones.

But alas, a dead computer will. Sorry for missing last week's update. My power supply died, and it took a little over a week to figure out how to fix it. Thankfully, I got some terrific technical support from the good folks in the forums, so everything is up and running again.

Today's review is a bit of an obscure oddball: Mr. Stain on Junk Alley. The series is available to watch for free online, so I took a chance with it. Click this linky linky to find out what I thought of it.

Join me next week when I review a series with emo pretty bishounen and a very strange kitty. Until then, this is Bradley, signing off.

...rickety bicycles?

Ok, ok, so we also have the review for Emma: A Victorian Romance season 2 as well, which, due to the somewhat disappointing ending of the first season -- or non-ending, as it were -- has something to live up to. (And no, I'm not talking about those bikes.)

And hey, it's got maids. (Nudge, nudge.)

- Stig Høgset.

P.S. Oh, and the name of the first season has been altered slightly to mirror the US release. (Yeah, I didn't think of doing that until now. Börk on me.)
