| 12:46am | One Piece - I want to live!! | | | | The time of writing this is 00:01; mid-night. I’m up for work tomorrow at 07:15. I should be in bed, but instead, I’m wide awake, filled with the burning passion to write this post, to write anything about One Piece. It’s kind of odd, really, I mean, why? What is it about anime – and especially... |
| 11:05pm | It's theEnd of the world! Reflecting on Eureka Seven! | | | | ItÂ's taken me two or three months, but today I finally finished watching Eureka Seven. Like whenever I finish reading a book or watching a long TV series, I feel like IÂ've accomplished something big, but at the same time, IÂ've grown attached to the .. | | |
| 1:19am | One Piece - High gears, high drama and why Sogeking is the coolest | | | | Prior to this evening, it had been nearly two months since I last sat down with an episode of One Piece. IÂ’d finally reached the promised land of the Enies Lobby arc but some what worryingly, it wasnÂ’t clicking with me. I found the plot was becoming fairly predictable and excruciatingly slow, while... |

| 8:53pm | Gurren Lagann - 8 - Spoiler warning | | | | It's not fair.Amazing episode, amazing animation and amazing twist. I can't believe we've just lost such a great personality. Gutted. I want to say more but there is no point, just watch this episode and you'll understand this vast sense of emptyness. Where the hell does Gurren Lagann go now?!.. | | |

| 1:49am | Discovering Eureka Seven; mecha and dehumanisation | | | | In my previous E7 article, "Discovering Eureka Seven; subtext and pop culture", I briefly touched on the pervasive themes of war laced through out the series, going so far as to compare it to Akitaro Daichi's post-apocalyptic (underrated) masterpiece ".. | | |
| 12:39am | Seirei no Moribito - Rocks like a bears back | | | | ItÂ's been a few years since I last enjoyed a Production I.G. TV series. The Â"mega-hitÂ" Blood+ was a safe and predictable action series, while the elegant period setting of Le Chevalier D`Eon was dull and uninspired. All that is to say, I suppose I was expecting to be bored when | | |
| 7:15am | Claymore - Searching for humanity in a violent world | | | | IÂ'm really enjoying watching Claymore at the moment (as of episode 4),yet oddly, IÂ'm finding it hard to pin down exactly what I like aboutit. ItÂ's probably the setting; I just really like the European medievalperiod – a time when any person; strong in arm and sword in hand, couldconquer and | | |

| 5:49am | Discovering Eureka Seven; subtext and pop culture | | | | Unawares and unwilling, often the best anime passes me by. Deep down I think I always knew I would love Eureka Seven, but for whatever reason, like I said, it just passed me by. That is, until now. Maybe because itÂ's spring time; the grass is green and the leaves are greener, and IÂ'm just | | |
| 5:28am | Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - "Listen to me, you fucking furry" | | | | This episode confirms it; Gurren Lagan is made of all kinds of awesome. The first 10 minutes I've been sitting here for 20 and I still can't articulate everything that's so good about it. I'm talking about the knife fight. The way the characters move, the way they talk, the art, the fluidity | | |
