moggling - an anime.manga.gaming imageblog

Moggling was originally conceived as a photo(image)blog that I could update very quickly and easily. Quickly and easily haven’t really turned out to be that way >.<  And to top it off, there has been some sentiment that a photoblog isn’t worthy of being called a blog. To that I say, in the wise words of Bill the Cat, “thhpppppppppbbbt”.  But from here-on-in images will be annotated with informational and editorial text, when possible.  This means less posts since it has increased posting time considerably >.<  We’ll see how this works, and if the blog will get accepted into blog directories. >.>   (Image Source Unknown) 

 Edit: Show is Minami-ke, character is Minami Haruka.  Thanks to Chris for the ID.  I watched the first ep for this show and was really put off by the design of the characters’ mouthes, which look like they all have cleft lips >.<  Also, the ‘hair-horn’ of one character is just weird.

 Yotsuba&! is the manga series by Kiyohiko Azuma (creator of Azumanga Daioh) It follows the daily adventures of a little girl who is learning about life. Yotsuba&! is the first manga that I’ve actually been able to get into  - the characters are adorable, the stories are hilarious, and the art of easy to follow.  Not to mention this manga created the infamous Cardbo character. I recommend the Yotsuba and Cardbo posable Revoltech figures. 

Nijiiro Zakura is a doujinshi artist who is probably most well-known for the character design of the mascot for the DS game Rio Blackjack

Chocho / Cyocyo Police (Takara Shinnosuke)  has a really distinctive style of drawing that sticks out in technique and character design. The pissed off gothy girls are quite fun.

Honey and Clover (Hachimitsu to Kurōbā), created by Chika Umino as a manga originally, and adapted into two anime seasons, a live action movie, and a j-drama series. Pictured are Hagumi Hanamoto (Haguchan) and Ayumi Yamada.
