| 6:32pm | Spring 2009 anime season preview | | | | Ah, the Spring Season of Anime. A lo’ and behold there’s barely any bloody sequels! For once I can look at a preview and not keep having to say ‘haven’t seen first season, won’t watch’. So really we should be basking in the glory of all these new shows we get to enjoy.... |
| 9:33am | Hetalia Axis Powers episode 4 | | | | Episode 4 is an episode devoted to our dear friend Japan, the third member of the Axis Powers. However when I say devoted, I mean a Hetaliased version of devoted. That means we get half the episode with Japan, the rest is taken up with chibitalia, the closing song and a completely pointless next episode... |
| 7:19pm | Hetalia Axis Powers episode 3 | | | | Ah, finally Hetalia is onto the part of history I actually know far more about: pre WWII. So instead of random musings on historical conflict and occasional insults directed towards the Koreans, I can now actually talk about the episode in far more detail.Disclaimer: I don’t actually know what’s... |
| 9:15am | Hetalia Axis Powers episode 2 | | | | There seems to be a thought going round that Hetalia the anime is simply for the fans of the manga. Well let me present exibit A: Scamp. I’ve never read the manga and I bloody love this show. The other belief is that you need to be a bit of a history buff to fully understand the |
| 4:53pm | Hetalia Axis Powers: Episode 1 | | | | Not having read the manga, I came to the conclusion that Hetalia could’ve been one of two things. It could’ve been sheer fangirl pandering or it could be a brilliant piece of satirical historical wit. Me being a bit of a history buff and someone who inherently loves any joke that is slightly... |
| 9:23am | New NASA Carbon Material Could Make Space Elevators Possible | | | | “Houston, I think we reached the moon.”“The idea of an elevator that could transport humans into space with ease has long been a fantasy of science fiction writers. However, a new form of carbon ribbon could actually make it possible.Motivated by a $4 million funding prize from NASA,... |
| 11:26am | First Impressions: Asu no Yoichi, Kurokami, Ride Back, Munto | | | | My second and final batch of first impressions for this season. The only show left I kinda care about is Hetalia, and that’s been cancelled thanks to a group of whining Koreans. OK, a lot of whining Koreans. But enough of that, onto the actual post!My Rating System Explained!A = If you watch anything... |
| 1:05pm | A reflective post | | | | As I start writing, I checked and realised it’s being exactly one month since I blogged a post. This post would somewhat be a public apology to especially Brian, Scamp and everyone else(if anyone really cared) for failing to blog. Yeah, I think it sounds stupid but I do value promises and I have... |
| 5:06pm | Have you noticed a certain similarity in the Ride Back reviews? | | | | By any chance have you seen the amount of praise the first episode has gotten yet? Practically every single raw watcher has already commented on it’s awesomeness. You haven’t? OK, let me point you to a few places. How about here, or maybe here. You could also read here. Or what about here?... |
| 5:29am | Taking a Sabbatical | | | | I am not too sure about Loba but as for myself, I openly declaring that I’m taking a sabbatical on this anime blog. I’m entering a new semester for my undergraduate programme now and I’m getting busier than ever. Although it is very unlikely that I would ever be able to update anything... |

| 4:49pm | Anime 2008: A year in review | | | | How the hell am I supposed to open this post? I’m talking about every single anime in 2008, the best and the worst in every category. I haven’t seen everything this year obviously, such as Aria, ef, Shigofumi and DMC, but I’ve had a chance to check out pretty much everything else. Anyway,... | | |
| 2:42am | Random post-hiatus update | | | | In case none of you took notice, I have not made any update on this blog for quite sometime. That is simply because I was not home and gone internet silent for almost a week. At least I got through the anxious period of waiting for my semester result, which was fine BTW. So I |
