| 3:16am | Drawing a New Circle: Beginnings of my shoujo collective | | | | See, I have this little collective in this blog called the Summer of Bishoujo project, a series of posts about the eroge/bishoujo genre. Lately though, my interest in this side of fandom is in a bit of a decline, and so I may have to focus on a different thing this time. Over the years |

| 10:31pm | Animax-Asia… Dubbed in English - Episode 11: Something New | | | | Well, it's been a long time since I cared about Animax-Asia again. For so long, this anime channel has never changed much in terms of its dubbing policies and prowess, showing yes, the same quality that caused a lot of my complaints over the course of this episodic drama. I didn't care anymore... |
| 11:19am | Canvas 2 ~Niji-iro no Sketch~ | | | | Canvas 2In a cookie-cutter world of bishoujo anime, sometimes there are a few series that surprise and amaze me, one of which is Canvas 2. I actually watched this during a recent vacation trip of mine, and it never failed me at all during the boring bus rides. Canvas 2 is a witty, smart, and | | |
| 1:58am | Life lessons from a bishoujo male lead | | | | Hallo. I'm a male lead in a bishoujo game! And in my world there are lots of girls, not any different from your so-called "real life". I'm just a bored and boring guy just like some of you. Maybe some of you play me because I already have tons of girls served to me in |
| 1:57pm | D.C.if ~Da Capo if~ | | | | I'm probably one of a few handful of people who still cares about Da Crapo, although I'm admitting that this bishoujo thing is slowly starting to wear out on me. And yet the series may still matter, after all, it was a remarkable anime that put bishoujo games into the anime map. One thing that... |
| 5:07pm | Da Capo II: Maya Sawai | | | | She's not my favorite character in this game, but I like Maya because she actually reminds me of one of my ____ in real life. Unnecessary tidbit aside though, let me just say that Maya is almost the same as many other iinchos (class representatives) in the anime or bishoujo world. She is a tsundere... | | |

After building up Noe for most of the series, some kind of wild deus... |
| 12:21am | 12 Days of Catchup… oof 10 days left. (about bishoujo anime) | | | | Let me start the ball rolling again, even if it's late. The key to restarting a blog is to start talking. I'm fairly noisy over on my Twitter, so I hope it could translate into something here. I'm trying to shift focus this time. Because honestly, the bishoujo side of things isn't... |
| 1:43am | Alone | | | | I’ve gone to the point where I care less what people think, and at the same time worried on what people think. It’s this impossible duality that boggles my life lately. I have this unbearable feeling that, because of so many factors, I may have forgotten an important human feeling. Hmm… that sounds... |
| 8:20am | Return to Innocence | | | | While everyone in the anime blogosphere is busy arguing about subs-srs-bsns and rawwatching=imawesomekneelbefo rezod, I’m here kinda reflecting about how I myself am continually losing my proficiency because I don’t have anymore real-world outlets to refresh or retrain myself. Oh, and I decided to... |
