Probably the biggest shoujo anime review site on the Internet
Anime reviews… Manga reviews

The “Shoujo & General” project has been one of my interests for the past 10 years or so.
I first discovered Anime (Japanese animation) in about 1990, and ever since have been captivated by its unique mixture of fine design and hard-hitting narration, and its wide and ever-developing range of subject matter.
I am also interested to some extent in Manga (Japanese graphics) which is essentially the same thing, only on paper.
Currently the Shoujo & General project consists of a large anime review database (about 1000 entries), including still images, and credit information, a much smaller manga database , and some supporting files, and, of course, this Blog, which contains reviews to be later re-written and inserted in the database.
Shoujo & General also incorporates the Shoujo Anime List. This is a list of all the shoujo anime known to the administrator. (Shoujo anime (anime adapted from comic books for Japanese girls) was attracting much interest a few years ago, but now shoujo anime and other anime of similar look and feel is more taken for granted.
Some miscellaneous material that didn’t fit in the database format is in the anime.in4mation website. For instance, there’s an Escaflowne episode guide. That site has its own, independent copy of the anime and manga databases, which are currently disconnected as they seemed to be having a bad effect on the Google rankings of the other site, but anyway they are an earlier version which I haven’t updated since I merged the TV and OVA tables.
You may also stumble across www.anime-info.co.uk, which is a mirror of an earlier variant of the Shoujo & General. This site also has a database. (now deprecated- please use Shoujo & General at www.sandg-anime-reviews.net instead.)
I recommend MS Internet Explorer 6 for viewing all features on this site including Japanese text. Netscape 4.x generally OK. most Some pages will not work in Netscape 6.0. Dropdown list does not work with Netscape 4.x or Opera 5

I’ve been testing the same Blue Zinfandel theme (but 3 columns) you’re using at your blog, but faced up with such problem: the middle column keeps breaking when the browser window is shrunk down past the minimum width. You have the same problem, but in your case this is left column. But recently I have found this theme, modified by ConceptDraw Lab, where this problem is solved. So, if you want to use this beautiful theme for your blog and have no trouble with its view in different screen resolutions, you can download it from ConceptDraw Lab Blog.
