Diehard AnimeFAN, Vol. 8: Monster Musume, MY Love STORY!!, God Eater and more!
This one’s going to be a bit on the small side, update-wise; essentially, I haven’t had a lot of time to watch much anime due to work training, and I haven’t had a chance to pick out a new anime to sub into the rotation in place of the now completed Nagato Yuki-chan, so I…
