| 7:00pm | nodame cantabile paris 1 | | | | They actually animated the far away shot of the orchestra, something that wasn’t done in season one where JC Staff just used stills. Still, the animation quality is sparse for a modern high definition series. In the previous season, they made up for it by not using canned orchestral performances.... | | |
| 6:45pm | “Sensei, We Forgot Our Skirts” |  | | | This excellent image may have been around for a number of months, but on learning it had such a good title I couldn’t resist introducing it.

| 6:42pm | Janggeum’s Dream: Episode 46 Commentary | | | | It must be nearing the end of the series, as a lot of new faces are being shown.

But on the flip side, Seto no Hanayome fans bet all their stakes on this round, with both their characters fighting in... | | |
| 6:05pm | Yuri News This Week - October 11, 2008 | | | | Not my best week ever, that's for sure. Yesterday, on my first day not working, I decided to catch up on yard work that had gone undone for 4 months. (Getting a lawn service in around here is like pulling teeth. My backyard is teeny and unruly and not worth their time, apparently.) Just as I finished... | | |
| 5:59pm | Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen #01 | | | | Paris will never be the same.A while ago, I stated that I am not interested in doing episodic blogging but Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen is one anime that I wish to share my opinion and joys of it with everyone.

| 5:44pm | CD: Barbarian on the Groove “Ars Combinatoria” | | | | I’ve been adding M3 CDs I’m interested in to the calendar without ever making posts for them (might compile it tomorrow into one post like I did on Comiket), but I can’t ignore the new release under the Barbarian on the Groove label.

| 5:09pm | Adolescence and takemoto has tons of it | | | | I think sometimes animes like Honey and clover are a little depressing. They make adolescence look so glorified and how everyone should make their own life discovering journey and cycle from tokyo to hokkaido.

| 4:53pm | It would appear that I’m still tsundere for Lucky Star | | | | I was actually looking forward to a Lucky Star OAV. There, I said it. Not as much as a full second season, though: a one-off outing lacks that long build-up to sentimental attachment to the characters that the TV run offered but I’m not complaining or anything. It felt like a bonus episode and... | | |
