| 4:10pm | Honey and Clover II |  | | | As was rehashed a million times before, there’s no “II” in Honey and Clover II, the story was artificially interrupted for some technical reason on the break of broadcast seasons. So, it makes no sense to watch the first half only. It’s the kind of idiotic trick you’d expect... | | |
| 3:47pm | Bateszi on Scrapped Princess | | | | A twit: “Really loving BONES’ animation for Scrapped Princess; traditional fantasy anime like this rarely looks as beautiful.” Funny, I remember Scrapped Princess for its terrible animation lapses. The nature setting was mostly ok, but nothing too amazing. |
| 3:10pm | Is this thing on? | | | | While I was away in Nevada, a server move has gone bad and Ani-nouto went off air. I resorted to dropping anime content to that other blog. It wasn’t much anyway. |
| 7:21pm | Bateszi on Naruto Shippuuden 82 | | | | The obvious question that arises when reading a post focusing on one episode of Naruto is if it’s worth watching the rest of the series to find the gem? The answer is far from obvious. It’s not like everything else aside from 22, 32, 53, 64 and 80 is trash (numbers are for the classic Naruto,... | | |
| 6:03am | J.P.Hinano on Nogizaka 2 | | | | An item from Autumn preview: [Hinano's thoughts:] Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 2 – Loved the first one, will watch this one for sure. Let’s just hope we don’t have cockblocking eels this time JP’s thoughts: This is possibly the only show this season that coming into the season I am looking forward... | | |
| 4:12pm | Gia on creepy Asuka | | | | Gia asks if anyone is familiar with the creepy dolls. By accident, I am, because Christopher Fritz, mostly known for The Pink Sylphide, a blog of kind and gentle anime, has a Flickr photostream full of them. |

| 3:23pm | Avatar on the end of ADV | | | | In Steven’s comments instead of his own blog: [After the deal,] Senior creditor gets the revenue stream from the existing licenses. Ledford et al break up the rest of ADV and let the shell die. Other creditors force the shell into bankruptcy. Senior creditor says “our debt is senior; the... | | |

| 10:36pm | Google on Sankaku Complex | | | | Google selected the Sankaku Complex story to lead the report on the election results in Japan (see screenshot) — in fact, to lead any blog reports period. What a world. UPDATE: The screencap is that of default Google Blog Search homepage, before a search is entered (I freely admit that I was... |
| 4:41pm | SDB on Morgan le Fay | | | | It was a while since the Bottle Fairy splash, but the wait is over as Steven does the same to AMG Movie (heavy spoilers). I think the flight of fancy is not quite as great this time, so the post won’t make me watch the movie, but the important part is to see what’s there for everyone else... |
| 4:03pm | Seas Slugs on Autumn 2009 | | | | Now with the multi-author power! Kabitzin and crew take a look at the upcoming Fall, and it sure looks like a full season. Also, a perfect opportunity to comment. First of all, the international invasion is unfolding as planned, and now includes *gasp* Koreans! Openly basing on Chinese material is acceptable... | | |
| 2:51am | Evirus on Taishou Yakyuu Musume | | | | About halfway through the season, he says that “Taisho Yakyuu Musume is the best new show airing during the Summer 2009 season” [Emphasis mine — Author]. I just knew it. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for this kind of thing For example, I’m building a storage cloud... | | |
| 8:14pm | Studying abroad, vicarious report 1 | | | | Ana-sempai failed her placement test in Japanese language comprehension and is given remedial classes. Perhaps JPLT 2 is not all it’s made out to be. On the other hand, back in the day when I enrolled her into elementary school in America, she failed her English placement test as well, and was... |
| 9:48pm | Norman Rafferty on Nanoha | | | | Charles Solomon may be getting old, but never fear, there’s always someone ready to do the job. And I’m not talking about Scott Von Schilling this time. Behold: [Nanoha] opens with lazy production values that are typical for Japanese television. The colors are typical paint-and-trace, which... | | |
