Greetings, fellow otaku! April was an interesting month for our Tween & Teen Anime Awesomeness group. Our first session we watched Bamboo Blade. The premise is that older kendo instructor Kenzaburo challenges younger kendo instructor Toraji to a practice match between their two schools- if Toraji wins, he gets free meals from Kenzaburo’s father’s restaurant […]
Greetings, gamers! As usual, our libraries got some of the best games this month! Shadows Over Loathing (Rated T for Teen) is an interesting RPG done in a stick figure style (which has made me realize that, no, my artistic talents don’t even include stick figures because this game’s stick figures look WAY better than […]

Greetings, fellow otaku! Our Tween & Teen Anime Awesomeness group started off this month by watching Samurai Pizza Cats. It was… an experience. There were samurai cats and there was pizza.

Greetings, fellow otaku! In February, the Teen & Tween Anime Awesomeness group watched the shows Poyopoyo and Usagi Drop (also known as Bunny Drop). Poyopoyo is, sadly, unavailable in any form in Clevnet. It was a cute and random anime, each episode only lasting 2-3 minutes total (including the opening and closing sequences). There are […]

Now, we want to share them with you! All of these titles are staff approved and available in the Clevnet catalog. Happy Reading! Read past reviews […]
Greetings, gamers! Within the last month, the libraries got a bunch of new and exciting games!
