| 10:13pm | Fighting fanservice | | | | The recent airing of the second series of Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls poses the question of why the stylish but lacklustre first season was deemed worthy of a sequel, but also conjures up the spirit of genre stalwarts such as the long running Sekirei and Ikkitousen franchises – each series... | | |
| 6:06pm | Brave new world | | | | Trying to encapsulate what Shinsekai Yori (From The New World) is “about” is tricky task. It’s no more about a future where everyone has psychic powers than it is about human relationships with those weaker than themselves. That it is about so many big concepts is its greatest strength;... |

| 8:58pm | Tank girls | | | | In a world where tanks are a part of everyday life, and pre-UN countries send teenage girls out in war machines to fight not to the death, but to the white flag, one rag-tag team will face their toughest opponent yet. Can they overcome all the odds, work as a team and deal with all of their various... | | |
| 11:00pm | The last Evangelion 3.x post I’ll write | | | | In an attempt to do something a little different to the information dump that was my last Evangelion post, I’ve made a micro-site for my Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo thoughts and theories and musings: evangelion3x.chaostangent.com. Any feedback you have on this experiment, content corrections,... | | |
| 8:22pm | No Gods or Kings. Only Man. | | | | Sasami-san@Ganbaranai (Sasami@Unmotivated) is very SHAFT. A useless description as everything the studio produces is by definition very SHAFT, but as an adjective it encapsulates the studio’s infamous approach: an unwavering confidence in delivery, a devotion to pop-culture and often a production... | | |
| 8:22pm | Prismatic | | | | Your enjoyment of Vividred Operation can be accurately measured by whether you prefix “bums” with “little girl” in the phrase “it’s full of bums”. Thankfully you don’t need to wait long for an answer as it’s a scant twenty seconds into the first... | | |

| 10:07am | Eyehack | | | | Information about the new Ghost in the Shell anime (subtitled Arise) is being drip fed from its Production I.G. stewards and the vocal reaction has been disparaging. The voice cast has changed, the character designs are too moe, the soundtrack isn’t Yoko Kanno. Etcetera. To them I say: excellent.... | | |
| 8:02pm | Virtual insanity | | | | There will always be something enticing about the portrayal of MMOs within anime. Like .hack//sign before it, Sword Art Online tickles the fancy of those who revel in finding the glitches, the rare objects, the dark and hidden zones of online worlds that subvert the otherwise strongly governed... | | |

| 7:30pm | Bomb voyage | | | | I will never be ready to talk at any great length about rape. Although I’m aware of, though not familiar with, the physical and emotional damage it leaves in its wake, there is nothing of value I can add to any discussion of it. This didn’t seem to stop the first three episodes of BTOOOM!... |

| 10:11pm | Announcing fansub_ebooks | | | | An irreverent idea that has now been set loose upon the world. If you’re not familiar with the *_ebooks concept then the Wikipedia article on the most well known of them should fill you in. fansub_ebooks takes the idea, removes the spam and uses scripts from anime fansubs as its corpus. So you... |
| 8:00pm | They’re just lights | | | | Once upon a time there was a girl who had lost her father. Her sister and mother were very upset, but this little girl didn’t cry, she refused to believe her father had died. This little girl was Rikka, and she wielded the Wicked Eye: able to summon tremendous dark power; and though she had... |
