There’s something I noticed about manga in the medical genre, which is that they all have a “genius” doctor as the main character set in a hostile political environment with corrupt hospital directors. This leads me to think about the actual state of the health care system in Japan, although the one we have here in the United States could be improved upon as well.
Saijou no Meii fits the stereotypical medical manga like a glove. Other series I’ve read that fall into this category were Say Hello to Black Jack and GodHand Teru. Even though they might share some general themes, each one is different enough to hold my interest.

I was surprised to see something anime related make the front page of Slickdeals.
Amazon has Ghost in the Shell 2.0 [Blu-ray] for $10.99. I’ve seen the original movie, but not this reworked edition with some animated scenes replaced by CG.
This is your chance to own a high-def copy of a well-known science fiction classic at the price of a mere movie ticket. Actually, I guess movie tickets are a bit expensive these days…

Baka to Test to Shokanju
I usually do a first impressions post after watching the first episode, so this one is a bit late. After watching the 3rd episode of Baka to Test to Shokanju, I must admit that it is the funniest anime this season (although there isn’t much competition in that area).
