| 10:43pm | Yumeria (Dreamworld) |  | | | I hoped to see another Magikano and somewhat surprisingly, the art was similar. I even rushed to check the production studio For Yumeria it’s DEEN, but for Magikano it’s impossible to determine. However, “similar” does not mean “same”. I don’t even have a single... | | |
| 10:27pm | Asagiri no Miko begins |  | | | Snatched by Sixten, I had to give it a try. It’s almost like going to a virtual club meeting with Steven, if only for the first 5 (10) episodes: he has access to the whole stack of DVDs and I’m at the mercy of Netflix’s DVD dispatch algorithm. I think it’s possible to watch... |
| 5:54pm | Scrapping the bottom of the barrel |  | | | It looks like I watched everything worth watching among titles available on Netflix. I’m not even kidding, the only series in the queue that I would actually like to see is Moribito. Piracy is the only recourse. |
| 9:52pm | Arashi 04, Jun’s tank |  | | | A post at Animesuki gave me the hook with which to find what the other of Jun’s images of war was: “Bokura no Nanokan Sensou” (ぼくらの七日間戦争), or Seven Days War. |
| 2:52am | Disliked Greats |  | | | Michaels trolls me in a simple yet effective way: I’ve quickly marathoned through sub-par shows in the past. However, good series such as Stand Alone Complex, Tweeny Witches, and Legend of Galactic Heroes can’t seem to hook me in like that. All three of these anime are top notch quality,... | | |
| 8:14pm | Zyl on Manabi’s fat head |  | | | Due to some circumstances, I have set on rewatching Manabi Straight at last, this time from the comfort of a couch. And coincidentially, Zyl remarked today: Manabi Straight: It sounds like so much fun but I’m just defeated by the whole fat loli thing. I’m happy to report that the fat heads get... | | |
| 7:37pm | Blind leading the blind |  | | | Hikago asks what the difference is between kimono and yukata. Obviously he could’ve researched that, but in the spirit of sharing the excitement of being a shameless weaboo, here’s what I know from my limited experience And if it makes snobs like WAH to squirm, so much for the better. The... |
| 8:31pm | So Tired |  | | | On a related topic, I remember how Tatsuo Sato said in an interview about his plans after Shingu that he wanted to make something more unbridled and frolicking (not precisely in these words). He certainly succeeded in that, but in the big picture, Shingu is a greater, stronger, more polished, more... |
| 6:27am | Netflix Mapping, 3 |  | | | Ah My Goddess S1 v.1 should be a common disk, and it’s not scratched, but it played with some skipping. It may be my software (VLC 1.0.0-rc2), but still, better mark it in case. |
| 10:31pm | Arashi 09 |  | | | Natsu no Arashi 09 poped at Youtube an hour ago, and my wish was granted in the first minute the of show: No idea who the little freak with pantsu on his head is. UPDATE: DiGiKerot has a more complete collection of cameos, which came quite thick. Note that SHAFT uses general cultural references quite... |
| 3:45pm | Evirus drops Eden of the East |  | | | As reported at Karmaburn, quote-unquote “a huge troll on people who watch artsy anime”. Ah, the sweet smell of vindication. UPDATE: Evirus says the quote belongs to rq of Danbooru fame. |
| 5:56pm | Jessi’s reviews, idiotic and not |  | | | As if to illustrate how bad comments are, we’re having a little dorama in comments at Chizumatic, were I observed how Jessi’s reviews for Sekirei and Arashi were idiotic, Jessi failed hard by thinking that all of her reviews were equally idiotic, and so on. Of course I have no quarrel with... | | |
| 12:07am | Gia interviews Icy |  | | | There’s a video at Vice. I wish she asked what he liked in RapeLay. Compelling characters? The intricate plot? Breathtaking art? |
| 5:17am | List of harems for C.C.Yoshi |  | | | CCY asks to list known harems and triangles (presumably male-centered only). Let’s see what I can remember. Harems known to me: Ai yori Aoshi Angel Tales (Tenshi no shippo) Comic Party DearS Dual Fate/stay night — anime has harem downplayed, so mostly Saber and Rin Futakoi (I haven’t... | | |
