| 7:29pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 21 | | | | Well, the third arc was awesome: it had a new twist in just about every new episode and kept holding the balls in the air with increasingly astonishing plot twists. In comparison, the past two episodes have really been a let-down. Especially considering how the creators have the arduous task of filling... |

| 6:41pm | Kämpfer #08 — “…Not Following You Here…” | | | | Thickest man alive. Impressions: This was the worst kind of episode. Nothing good enough to comment on and nothing bad enough to mock. The whole thing was just boring from start to finish. Shizuku tells Natsuru to go out on a date with her, and then spends the entire time forcing him to do ‘datey’... |

| 4:14pm | Gungrave Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Wow, what a ride. The underworld is a popular setting for anime, and this genre has already produced quite a few wonderful gems, such as Kaze no Youjimbo, Michiko e Hatchin, Baccano and many more. Gungrave, without a doubt, also belongs in this list. This series tells about the lives of two thugs... |
| 4:11pm | Appearance in AFA 2009 |  | | | Despite news on the contrary, which reached me through the grapevine, I am unfortunately not able to attend this year’s AFA due to assignment and exams gangrape by my university.

| 2:08pm | Failed Exam Answers |  | | | A recent book highlights some of the less than reassuring exam answers given by UK schoolchildren. With apologies to Malaysians The UK has long enjoyed neurosis over the dire quality of its public schooling, for good reason it seems. The book is available now. |
| 1:53pm | The Line Between Hobby And Work | | | | Apparently tomorrow is Anime Festival Asia 2009. I do not blame you if you do not navigate a great portion of the site, since, coding aside, the thing is not particularly user-friendly. It's a very busy site, full of flashing and pulsating signs; the sort of site one tends to feel inexplicably sullied... |
| 1:26pm | Going Nuts and Bolts for Mecha-Musume: The Seihou to My Touhou |  | | | Strike Witches x Touhou by 藤島製1号To be frank, I don’t know where I started to like the genre of mecha-musume.

| 12:13pm | Confessions of an Otaku’s Girlfriend: Prepare Yourself! | | | | Contrary to popular belief, otakus CAN and DO get involved in relationships.
