| 12:57pm | [Whitelight] Neo Angelique Abyss Episode 2 is uppity up~ |  | | | Episode 2 is finally done after a tremendous effort to make the lines as cheesy as it is. Just joking! Honestly though, Neo Angelique Abyss is surprising me with its production values. I cannot believe it myself because I am truly entertained by the show.

| 11:42am | Code Geass R2 — Episode 6 | | | | Not my favourite episode. I think the character dynamics is somewhat lacking this time, and the battle scene wasn’t all that exciting either.
