Lucky Star 13 – “Delicious Day” (Savory Day, for you a.f.k. sticklers)
It’s another one of those talking episodes, and another good example of overtalking something to the point of exhaustion, but having it be interesting nonetheless. How do they keep doing it?

Nonfictional anime isn’t very common, but perhaps Tetsuko no Tabi (鉄子の旅) explains the rarity. It shows the adventures of real-life train geek Yokomi Hirohiko in a 13-episode series currently running on Family Theatre, Sundays at 10:00 JST.

Unsung Heroes: Q & A and BGM Composers – Part 2
I look at the comments posted in my debut column and it amazed me how much effect Kajiura Yuki has on people. The demand for Kajiura’s work to be placed in the top ranking has been petitioned to the point that maybe I should re-review my choices. Maybe I made a mistake or just maybe…just maybe, I might have gone over the line. I should give into the public opinion and just do what they consider is right.
Or not. 😛
However, that does not mean I should do whatever I please. The readers of RC have brought up some issues that intrigued me. I feel that I am obligated to answer it. Before I list my ‘Starting Lineup’, I would like to take this moment for a little Q & A session.
