| 6:58am | A Visit to Royal-T: LA’s Maid Cafe |  | | | Eating at the cafe This afternoon, my anime club Anime Souffle took a visit to Royal-T–the LA area’s only maid cafe. It’s my first experience at any kind of maid cafe, and it was definitely surprising in some respects. The first question pretty much any otaku would ask–are the... |

| 4:19am | First Look Fair: Clannad After Story | | | | You throw like a girl Welcome back to the moe? An episode that served more like a reintroduction to all the major characters shows some subtle differences from the first season, differences that may point to a difference of approach this time around. The first thing to note is that, as far as I can... | | |
| 8:50pm | Casshern Sins episode 1– This is one to watch | | | | I cannot wait for the next one. Always start with a great hook. Threatening to kill someone is a good hook. It sets the tempo for the contrast of this show. There is the visceral violence, but also the moments of reflection. When he tears the robots apart it is like him disemboweling them. They... | | |

| 8:45pm | Linebarrel episode 1–not bad, not great, but not bad | | | | A pretty fair mecha anime. Linebarrel is not a startling new anime.

The main character is a weakling boy who rides in a giant robot and gets cocky... | | |
