		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the NHK is a series that treads that tragicomic line between realistic, engaging psychodrama and situation comedy, and has me laughing hard at things that really shouldn't be funny.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yukikaze meets Harry Potter meets Sakura Wars, with some Geobreeders thrown in for good measure. It's pretty, it has an appealingly odd setup, and the only thing I could think of was Great Balls of Fanservice!... and The Tick quote "Do you have pants?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having just crossed the boundary between Code-E and its sequel, Mission-E, I can honestly say I have never seen any direct sequel that has a more drastic mood and thematic change than these two series. I can't even think of anything that comes close. Seriously, what just happened?!]]></description>
