HENNEKO Episodes 1-7 Streaming

Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne Blu-Ray

13 Jun 13, 17:00 2013-06-13 17:00 16 comments

This first season is unlikely to blow anyone away, as it is competent in most respects but neither exceptional nor original in any of them, except perhaps in casting the mecha battles as pretty boys on one side vs. cute/sexy girls on the other.
