| 4:31pm | Aroduc on Princess Lover |  | | | Tenka Seiha: Well, this has been quite the trainwreck, literally. I remarked that I was disappointed in how generic it was way back in episode one, but it managed to distinguish itself by tossing the writers off the cliff entirely. That’s not a compliment either. The show had severe problems with... | | |
| 6:30pm | Most blogged at Ani-nouto in 2009 | | | | The unbeatable champion The legend for all times. While testing archives[1], I found an old post, mostly dealing with the surprising hold ef had on my imagination. With ef firmly in the past, sounds like a perfect opportunity for a little side-by-side.Feb 2008Sep 2009deltaef2643+17Lucky star... | | |
| 8:18am | Blogrolls | | | | A few commenters claimed that blogrolls were useless, but I still remember how invaluable they were for me when I ramped up on my reading, so I keep mine up as a kind of a public service to new readers. If such function is assumed as primary, the blogroll has to be short, best of the best. A short blogroll... |
| 7:48am | Orion on Juuden-chan, Umineko, and others | | | | Warmed up after the metablogging, he decided to deliver some smackdowns. I understand [Juuden-chan] really pushed the envelope in terms of what you can get away with and still be on broadcast television, what with masochism and urination in every episode. Or so I hear anyway. I couldn’t deal with... | | |
| 6:27am | Studying abroad, vicarious report 2 | | | | Just as I was afraid they would, Japanese and American students in Akita completely segregated themselves and do not talk at all, with one notable excetion of American boys who chase Japanese girls. Those are persistent enough to knock down the cultural barriers and get some language practice. Administration... |
| 6:17am | BigN on TYM | | | | The best show of the season receives an expected nod from The Big N. Lots of words how wonderful it is and all, but then there’s this little caption: The better Tamaki. We cannot be friends anymore |
| 6:11am | Nick Istre on Eve no Jikan | | | | Not much to go on, but it looks like he enjoyed it to the end (although I knew that he would). At this point, I consider Yasuhiro Yoshiura as a story-writer and anime director superior to Makoto Shinkai. Sound like a very faint praise to me. | | |
| 12:30am | Hanners’ commenters on Tokyo 8.0 | | | | Apparently, it was a real snotfest: DCJoeDog: When they showed Yuuki’s life from birth to death I literally broke down and started bawling. Polaryzed: I wanted to see the last ep so bad that I watched it a lunch at work. BIG mistake. Really hard to explain the sniffles and wet eyes to people.... |
| 12:30am | 2DT on TYM and Modernity | | | | The 2D Teleidoscope was at the periphery of my scan already, but thanks to J.P.’s careless comment that included unions into “modernity” (as if benevolent associations didn’t exist in China for centuries) I dismissed witout reading a post that was worth it. To wit: So I’ve... |
| 10:39pm | Andy Janes on Aoi Hana | | | | I may boycott lezbanime even when made by J.C.Staff, but never fear, the animeblogosphere is diverse enough to have all your perversions covered. Here’s a what Andy has to say: Finally got round to watching the last 3 episodes tonight, really wasn’t worth it. The pacing in this show was... | | |
| 9:46pm | Sketchbook at Crunchyroll | | | | John reports that Crunchyroll began showing Sketchbook (however, no DTO again: bad Crunchy, bad rights owner, no cookie!). My own experience with it wasn’t good, but I can see a few people liking it and Crunchy is probably the perfect dumping ground for low-rating anime these days. UPDATE: Damien... | | |
| 2:04am | The anime trade-in explosion | | | | Robert, the R in RACS, reports from the retail front: Just a quick post to let everyone know that since about the 3rd week of August the flow of Anime trade in’s to arrive here at the warehouse has picked up from their regular flow to pretty much a total avalanche, and we’ve been struggling... |
| 1:52am | Orion stabs me in the heart with the dagger of his intentional obtusveness | | | | He posted an annotated blogroll, the kind people usually have in a separate page, to main blog at Epic Win. The witty run-down would be pretty amusing, but for this: That said, he has a very successful sort of meta-blogging site in which he highlights various interesting posts and discussions from around... |
| 7:40pm | GA:GADC 06-08 | | | | I dropped each of Hidamari, Sketchbook, Hidamari x365, but GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class is so engrossing that frustrated with Ayako’s slow pace I watch it raw — which, by the way, far exceeds my Japanese abilities. Usually my approach is to select a favourite in the cast, but characters... | | |
| 6:08pm | Busy Rie Kugimiya | | | | According to Hashi-hime’s preview, Rie Kugimiya partakes in five productions of Autumn 2009: Fairy Tail, Hidamari x365 OVA and *** (Hoshimitsu), Shana S, an extension of QB, and sequel to Nogizaka. I remember times when Rie Tanaka doing two roles in one season (Chii and Yomi) was remarkable. I... | | |
