| 7:19am | The long road to Suzumiya Haruhi no Gensou | | | | All anime roads take me home / to the place, where I belong / Evangelion, Ayanami Rei / Take me, anime roads~ I vaguely remember that how hearing Bach’s Air on a String, Pachelbel’s Canon in D, Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B minor on the Evangelion OSTs (particularly Death and Rebirth)... | | |
| 6:30am | Endless Eight V | | | | LOL at the unprintable expletives used by the kare of KKnM, who is not above the occasional rant, when we discussed this series last Saturday. At least he appreciated the different swimsuits, yukata and other outfits. ~Always look on the bright side of life~ Or Yuki. Is it just me or has Yuki’s... |
| 8:49am | Aeroplane and Cumulonimbus | | | | Yes, it’d be nice if things can move on. But to those who are crying bloody murder, Mr T will retort on my behalf LOL; good grief, for most of us, this is free entertainment. And, guess what, KyoAni and Kadokawa will do whatever they want to do as long as they think their Japanese customers will... |
| 3:19am | Minami Ke Betsubara | | | | I prefer cheese and mushroom risotto! I had a completely opposite reaction compared to Aroduc who felt that: The first couple parts weren’t great, but I did enjoy both of the Valentine’s Day bits. Maybe it’s because I felt rather bad for both Maki and Fujioka. And I find myself in complete... |
| 4:30pm | Nodame Cantabile 15-18 | | | | Death penalty! Another week, another set of episodes of Nodame Cantabile on Animax Asia and screencap stealing from Memento. Ep 15. Warm and fuzzy moment as Chiaki x Nodame x Elgar heals the rift between Cousin Toshihiko and Uncle Takehiko. Nodame getting stomped on by the whole clan was so sad but true;... | | |
| 8:02am | Zaku First Impressions: Aoi Hana, Bakemonogatari, CANAAN | | | | A childhood friend is fine too I have been tracking this series on my radar ever since Admiral Erica, over at Yuri General Staff HQ, gave advanced warning of the most anticipated yuri anime of 2009. Besides I really enjoyed my visits to Kamakura too. Have read complaints that the Aoi Hana manga is boring... | | |
| 8:47am | Endless Eight III | | | | I’m much less with RP when he lamented about how he was: sitting through an episode in which absolutely nothing new occurred and much more with DKellis being endlessly surprised by the distinct variations on the same theme. The staff of Kyoto Animation definitely have more imagination than I... |
| 4:15pm | xxxHOLiC Shunmuki 2 | | | | In contrast to Lupus’ drive-by shooting and Aroduc’s pastrying of this OVA ep, I thought the whole journey was worth it just to see Yuuko’s expression after Watanuki’s declaration that he will do whatever he can to fulfill her wish. Not that they didn’t make pertinent... | | |
| 8:06am | Old men in glasses versus young love limited | | | | Both shows celebrate love in all its myriad imperfections but it’s a foregone conclusion that Hatsukoi would be much more popular given the gorgeous girls featured in it in stark contrast to the middle-aged men of Paradiso (j1m0ne’s EWWWWWW wrt the latter takes the cake in my book). Nonetheless... |
| 7:41am | Hatsukoi Limited 10-12 | | | | It was good to see that Olympic candidate talent deteriorates in the absence of training; how I hate characters who get by purely on the strengths of their natural talent and constipated teeth clenching. Thank goodness the swim team relationships have been more or less resolved with the plot devices... |
| 6:21am | Saki 11-13 | | | | A daring lunge But after this And this it feels like Gonzo has parodied the show so much that additional parody has become irrelevant. I was going to make a note about how the massive increase in the yuri pairings but I won’t reinvent the wheel that Sleepy has already made so nicely. And... |
| 6:14am | K-ON 13 | | | | The gag about Ritsu’s ‘love letter’ was my favourite of this episode – both funny and sweet. Though I keep thinking that Mio must have been thinking of Ritsu when she composed those lyrics. Overall, a light and fluffy series that kept me entertained each week. I would liked... |
| 2:13am | Hayate no Gotoku!! 13 | | | | Are we there yet? Oh the innuendo. Ahaha, that’s the side you should show more of to Hayate. I think that Yukichi might have better luck with guys now if she regrew her ponytail. But maybe that’s just me Well, it happens sometimes while waiting for a guy to come Shana first OP sequence.... | | |
| 1:52am | Nodame Cantabile 11-14 | | | | I’m just astounded that the current series I’m most excited about is old news to the aniblogosphere, being ‘current’ only WRT the Animax Asia broadcast schedule. Chiaki’s story was interesting from the get-go and I look forward to his (inevitable?) success. And it was... | | |
| 8:01am | Nodame Cantabile 7-10 | | | | While I’m glad that, with my limited bandwidth, I can watch this series on Animax, it’s a bit inconvenient to adhere to the broadcast schedule (or even the repeats), particularly with Wimbledon on right now. Ep 7. I loved how Nodame’s piano playing caused Chiaki to see his relationship... | | |
