| 9:01pm | Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (TV) | | | | Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (TV) is much better than the first FMP! series. I had to force myself to finish the first one. The main villain was way over-used and I couldn’t wait for him to get off the screen, but he was real chatty and annoying, so he just wouldn’t go away. Not... | | |
| 5:23pm | Aika R-16 | | | | I love Studio Fantasia. These master craftsmen of the low-angle shot have produced another fine entry into the Agent Aika universe for you to shake your head at in disbelief. Yes, Aika R-16 is the ridiculous panty show, where the barrage of panties are more punchline than suggestive, but most definitely... |
| 5:35pm | Warm and Cozy Enma Ai | | | | Click to enlarge or view on Flickr Five years ago he met his wife at work. And now, though he could never have those years back, four words were going to make it all better, take the weight off and remove the hands around his neck, so he logged in a request, “please kill my wife”. To... | | |
| 3:44pm | In Progress: Air Gear, Kanon, My-Otome | | | | I know I’ve said it myself, but every time I hear or read, “[this show] is not for everyone”, I wish for a new way to express that. Don’t mind me, I haven’t had my eight cups of coffee yet. Onto the anime I saw last week: Air Gear v3, Kanon v4, and My-Otome v6.Air Gear... | | |
| 7:11pm | Franco il Nero [questionable] | | | | “Whatcha lookin’ at scrumptious?,” said Franco il Nero, waiting like a snake in the grass, gun drawn, wardrobe in planned malfunction. “You wouldn’t be looking at that, now would you? If it were me and a pretty lil’ thing had a gun pointed my way, I know where my... |
| 3:25am | Kujibiki Unbalance v1, Not Awful | | | | Regardless of the packaging, labeling, and episode count, Kujibiki Unbalance is the b-side of this Genshiken single. Kujian TV wasn’t something I was burning to see, but since it was there and the one episode of Genshiken went by too quickly, I checked it out and found the opening four episodes... | | |
| 5:46pm | Reinforce Zwei as an LMD | | | | Click to enlarge or view on Flickr Another LMD, a loli of mass destruction, named Reinforce Zwei arrived at 05:00. You really do have to wonder sometimes what those guys at the research facility do. Obviously it isn’t going outside, so they get real weird sometimes with the weapons they make.... |
| 7:44am | Reservoir Lucky Star | | | | I’ll probably get smacked for this, but in the opening scene of Lucky Star where Konata, Tsukasa, and Miyuki spend a good chunk of time talking about how they eat cornets, ice-pops, shortcake, etc., etc., I couldn’t help thinking about the opening scene for Reservoir Dogs where they’re... | | |
| 4:44pm | Sasara Kusugawa and Ernst Von Boner | | | | Click image to enlarge or view on Flickr Sasara Kusugawa bent down to wipe up the spilled cream, being careful not to let the frilly apron touch and soak up any of it. When she straightened up, she turned around and smiled at the old man. The old man, our boss, Master Ernst Von Groaner cupped his... | | |
| 4:04pm | Yuki Nagato Swimsuit No Beach | | | | I’m used to being surprised by something every time I open the door to the clubroom, but I wasn’t expecting this, not that I’m complaining. Miss Nagato in a swimsuit, now that’s a surprise I can live with on a daily basis. Anyway, I expected Haruhi to be doing all sorts of... |
| 2:57am | 5 Centimeters Per Second | | | | I can’t shake Five Centimeters Per Second. Toono’s experience as an adult — I identify with it. Feel it as my state. The details of how we got there are very different and appear far less breathtaking, but we wind up in a similar place, going through motions, not knowing how long... |
| 8:29pm | Her Triggerheart Exelica | | | | Click image to enlarge or view on Flickr. Exelica looked away from him. He moved to see her face, to look at it for the last time, but she turned to keep it from him as her face was already masked in war. His voice was pleading and distraught. There wasn’t time for anything more between them,... | | |
| 7:13pm | I Had No Idea Kanon Was this Funny | | | | I avoided reading anything on Kanon when it was airing. Pretty much, I thought Kanon would be a solid tear-jerker like Air, something that had a light hearted bit thrown in here and there to provide contrast, but really just wanted to make your eyes water. So far after eight episodes, Kanon has had... | | |
| 1:56am | Anime Blog Award Nominations | | | | I finally got around to filling out those Anime Blog Award nominations. Looking at the blogs I nominated it’s clear that it’s very AnimeNano/AnimeBlogger Antenna centric. I rarely visit anything outside of AnimeNano/Antenna since it’s pretty much where I go to find stuff to read.... |
| 9:55pm | Mushi-Shi in the Middle | | | | I’ve been slack on writing about Mushi-Shi and highlighting the stories I thought played with human concepts in interesting ways. Maybe if I get the motivation to write an end of series post for it I will, but most people don’t come here for the text, so there’s less motivation there.... | | |
