| 12:39pm | Eden of the East: Final Thoughts |  | | | Wowjust wow. I really like how this series wrapped up, it was a pretty intense final episode, and made up for the piece of crap that was episode 11. The song that played was pretty cool. For once, the jokes about the ‘Johnies’ were funny for me in this final episode. I was a little disappointed... |
| 12:48am | Memory Quilt:Blue Seed |  | | | Now here’s one I’m sure almost no one is going to know. Even I barely remember it beyond it’s really heart touching ending.

| 12:30am | Memory Quilt:Azumanga Daioh |  | | | I guess this isn’t cooking after all! I really do need a better way to take this pictures. Anyway to the point, Azumanga Daioh was a series I watched with my sister in 8th grade, and have fond memories of us rolling on the floor laughing our heads off as well as me singing the “Cooking... |

| 2:27am | Screenshots of the week |  | | | So on a whim, I decided to post my favorite screenshots of the week. Now this is kinda last minute, so there’s not too much, but hopefully I’ll have a more complete collection if I decide to do this again. Also, I was doing catch-up on anime this week, so some series may not have screenshots... |
| 9:35pm | Memory Quilt: Antique Bakery |  | | | There’s not too much for me to say about this one, actually. Antique Bakery, a show I watched and followed on this blog last summer. It was an alright slice of life with a great first half and lousy second half. However, Antique Bakery had a very good opening and ending theme, with entertaining... | | |
| 10:26pm | Memory Quilt:Alien Nine |  | | | Very first patch! Other ones will look better.

Alien Nine follows the story of Yuri who is elected by her classmates... |

The marathon shattered expectations and records, with the goal of $6000 being met at 10 in the morning on Saturday, just 40 hours in. The final donation count... |

| 5:07pm | Anime Central 2009 Report |  | | | Yet another convention has been and gone, this time it’s Anime Central. Last year was really a train wreck of a convention, so I didn’t have very high hopes for this year’s model. I was very surprised to see things were handled far better this year than last. So let’s take a look at the... | | |
