| 4:37am | 一般人の境界 :: the border of normality | | | | In Ep 9, Kanako defends herself against charges of perversity: Whether you actually carry out your delusions or not is the crucial difference between being a pervert and remaining a normal human. You don’t touch her, you only use the hand in your heart to bust check her! You don’t secretly... |
| 10:41am | Numbering MariMite | | | | Do OVA releases count as a season? So long there is a TV/cable broadcast? It’s |
| 1:28am | Nostalgia Disease | | | | The funniest thing about Hinano’s attempt to raise the dead was that some listed patently weren’t. And it seems to chochok-ed tjhan at least. Or is that really a tjhan homunculus over at RIUVA now? (BTW the ending of FMA really ruined the series for me. I’ll probably wait for the... | | |
| 2:15am | Yuri Biri Biri Facerub Animated Gif II | | | | Biri Biri is cool and spicy sweet; coming to Kuroko’s rescue with her trademark Railgun shot and then comforting her junior. I agreed with and delighted in most of what Dav wrote on Ep 21. I have a minor quibble though - Kuroko would "NEVER cry" after a horrible ordeal; methinks Kuroko... |
| 4:29pm | Unhelpful, unkind, downright outrageous | | | | Toaru Shima Shima Tanuki strikes back after the first two hontou ni koma of 2009! Background info, particularly those of you not lucky enough to live in our glorious Democratic People’s Island Paradise Republic: T.T. Durai: Brought a lawsuit for defamation against a newspaper but got brought... |
| 10:21am | Happy belated birthday, Hina-san! | | | | The truth is that I had completely forgotten about Hina’s birthday on 3 Mar. Gah. This is especially mortifying since I was just reading the birthday present arc. Thanks to Haesslich for the reminder. P.S. Looking forward to the OVA and second season! ©2009 hontou ni sou omou?. All Rights... |

| 2:35pm | Yuri Biri Biri Facerub Animated Gif | | | | After much procrastination, I finally got down to making an animated gif from Index Episode 14 where Mikoto returns home to someone who loves her. ;) Except I couldn’t remember how to do it at first. And as with all matters technical, I turned to Kabitzin - specifically the tutorial recommended... |
| 5:43pm | Sing till the dawn | | | | I was LOL when Yuki took out the kiddie electronic keyboard with microphone. And when she started belting out ‘Paradise Lost’ against the simplified tune, I just lost it. Great seiyuu in-joke. And that Ga-Rei Zero OP song was my second favourite thing from the series. Other songs I’d... | | |
| 1:17pm | Change we can practise | | | | I have changed. Through encounters with others. Who have changed too. And so the theme of the first episode of XXXHOLiC Shunmuki was fortuitously spoke to me just after I just changed the blog’s theme. Regular readers might have also noticed that I’ve changed my blogging style since around... | | |
| 10:40am | Pleasant simplicity is the value of Vigilance | | | | All blog-tech roads lead to Kabitzin. At least where the Houtou ni blogs are concerned. I started using K2 because that’s what Sea Slugs! was on. But I didn’t dare to tread into Sandbox, mostly because I still have trouble remembering what CCS CSS stands for, much less know how to use it.... |

| 4:57pm | Only Stripey can save Japan now | | | | [insert screencap (which I don't have so a text note will have to do) of light coming out of the pages of one of Suguru's ero-hon] Via BBC News: Japan’s exports plunged 45.7% in January compared with a year ago to hit the lowest figure in 10 years, official figures have shown. Obviously some one... |
| 2:38pm | Achakura comes to those who wait | | | | Nyoron Churuya was pretty funny in 4koma form but it hasn’t translated well into anime. But a new challenger has finally arrived! For me, Mini-Ryoko is the best thing about the Haruhi-chan series. P.S. Belated comment on the long wait for Haruhi Season 2: Good things come to those who wait.... |
| 1:07pm | The talent of Aya Hirano | | | | I’m not a fan of Aya Hirano. While I think she’s talented, I’m just not swept away by her voice acting the way I am by, say, Shizu-sama or Maaya Sakamoto. That said, I have enjoyed her work as Haruhi Suzumiya (megalomania ♥) and Shizu Shidou (Ijimekko~~) but, to date, my Top... |
