| 1:51am | Mai Otome Review |  | | | I didn’t blog this series (in spite of having followed Mai Hime), but I did watch it. And what did I think? Brace yourself, because I consider Mai Otome to be a Gundam Seed Destiny-level disappointment. Now perhaps the bad parts of Mai Otome cannot rival the bad parts of GSD, but | | |
| 1:34am | GSC: Mahou Shoujo Rin | | | | Good lord, it’s huge. It’s almost as tall as my Sutepri Racquel DVD fig freebie. Just where the hell am I going to put this thing?*pics much much later. |

| 1:21am | orz @ Mahou Tsukai Uchuujin | | | | You haven’t seen Mahou Shoujo fights until you’ve seen The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina. Those mahou attacks, that fanservice, the incredible plot twists with mind-controlled friends will make you want to see more. It also helps that Mikuru is just one of the cutest and shyest characters... | | |
| 12:45am | Shakugan no Shana | | | | Thanks to Zyl’s egging and a piqued curiosity over the Aizen twins, I picked up Shakugan no Shana only to rapidly devour the series in a few seatings. While it doesn’t break into my list of fav animes, Shana is certainly one of the most enjoyable series of late and one I sincerely hope | | |
| 12:36am | .hack//Roots #01 Raw Impressions | | | | Oh yay! More .hack// without Yuki Kajiura in charge of BGMs. So does it make it worse? No. BeeTrain must’ve put a big amount of their budget into this episode - the animation is very decent (hey! where did the trademark stills go?), which I suspect might change in future episodes (though I | | |
| 12:24am | Zegapain ep.1 | | | | Opening theme: 「君へ'かう光」- Kimi e Mukau Hikari by Akino Arai (15MB, for PSP/Quicktime)At this point in time, I'm not too sure if this is the kind of series that I'd like to follow. On the one hand, the character design is quite good, the characters are interesting, and | | |
| 11:40pm | Capsule reviews: anime about soul-destroying poverty, urban renewal, and… | | | | Binchou-tan (through ep 7): In episode 7, Binchou-tan almost misses a festival because she has to work late taking the trash out for her employers of the day, who are at least ten times her size. I can just tell in the last episode, Binchou-tan will finally snap, rise up out of her poverty, gather | | |
| 11:07pm | Counter Terrorism is Good for Health | | | | In short, I probably cannot update for some time, thanks to this. A fantasy-futurescience RPG with COUNTERTERRORIST elements probably makes for a great game. I will, however, write a supremely long review on Legend of Heroes SC |

| 10:21pm | Zegapain Episode 1 - Entangle | | | | OP - Kimi e Mukau Hikari (Akino Arai) - the song is absolutely beautiful, my favourite of the OPs/EDs so far this season; I’m not sure whether we actually have an OP yet, though, as it plays as the ED this week and the animation sort of alternates between CG-assisted beauty and static pans. | | |
