| 5:48am | Suzuka 17 | | | | Ohhh, the animation in this episode very craptastic. No masses of Honoka-chan screencaps as a result. Suzuka tries the umbrella trick on Yamato but didn’t walk home with him under it like he did with her previously. Later she barges in on him at karaoke and tries to get closer to him, both | | |
| 7:37am | SHUFFLE! game - Asa thread 20/7-29/7 | | | | "I also understand Rin-chan’s situation. But on that, I won’t retreat." After Rin presses her on the recent changes in her behaviour, Asa confesses that she likes Rin. He does not reject her but with the pain and lingering emptiness of his own past still weighing on him, he | | |
| 1:25am | SHUFFLE! 15 | | | | Rin goes to the Makai research facility with the three declared members of his harem. The Shin and Ma Kings are no match for the pleading of pretty young girls and allow Rin to descend into the Geofront to see Primula even though it could mean blowing up the whole place, Second Impact style. However... | | |
| 5:46pm | Blood+ 02-03 | | | | Since slicing a huge mutant Chipmunk in half and getting lots of not-blood-related- sis-con waves from Kai, Saya is hardly ever in the mood for hot yuri lurvin, much to Kaori’s consternation. The latter tries to get Saya to go to a love hotel with her but is intercepted by George who then | | |

| 6:10am | Kashimashi: Girl meets Girl Vol.1 | | | | Just seen the whole of Vol.1 most excellently scanlated by hashihime. Unfortunately looks like no scanlation is being planned for Vol.2. T_T Tried to look for it at Japan Centre, Picadilly and the Brewer Street manga shop but both hardly carry any Dengeki comics at all. T_T Well, I *will* be looking... |
| 9:09am | The Very Secret Diary of Honoka Sakurai 13-16 | | | | Ep 13. Even Hattori-kun warned me someone was going to take Akitsuki-kun away from me. Dressed up in best outfit for Akitsuki-kun. Held his hand. Yay! Just as mood was getting nice, *she* had to show up. Kissed him on the lips to stop him turning around. Very very good. Waddup biatch! Next day |
| 7:26pm | Mai Otome 03 | | | | Nagi pwns Mashiro in political battle. The latter seems about as politically adept as Cags in GSD. Arika battles Nina while Shizuru battles Rado. Everyone loves Shizuru. For a much better summary, see Random Curiosity. For ecchi fun commentary, see life line by line - "I'm the Queen Hair | | |
| 4:57am | SHUFFLE! Game - Asa thread 09/7-16/7 | | | | A major milestone in Rin and Asa’s relationship as they share painful childhood secrets. And Asa kisses Rin (the image above corresponds with that scene in the game). Meanwhile Kareha continues to play cheerleader to their relationship and there is a hilarous scene when Ama is introduced to | | |
| 7:43pm | SHUFFLE! 14 | | | | Another dramatic episode with good plot and character development. For a good summary and some insightful speculation, head over to Random Curiosity. It’s harder and harder to discuss this kind of speculation without reference to the SHUFFLE! game and thus the inevitable spoilers. Proceed at | | |
| 6:27pm | Suzuka 16 | | | | Honoka-chan anxiously waits at the station after learning that Yamato and Suzuka didn’t return last night as the former said he would. Suzuka walks away and the couple have a very public display of affection. Later Honoka-chan cooks for him but Yasunobu’s stupid suggestion earlier | | |
| 5:41pm | FMP! TSR 13 | | | | What can I say? Absolutely fabulous, darlings! Excellent blend of good story-telling (including OP and ED time), beautiful beautiful animation, humour and character development. I might have found Sousuke’s sudden power-up a bit over the top but watching too much Kira Yamato in GSD has numbed |
| 12:14am | Suzuka 15 | | | | Phew! Finally caught up! The firefly-in-flower thing was absolutely gorgeous and so romantic. And the scene parallels the one in the OP - with the latter showing the red thread which many Northeast Asian cultures use to depict the fated love between a couple. Feel so sorry for Honoka-chan but | | |
| 11:48pm | Suzuka 14 | | | | Yamato and Honoka-chan are now officially a couple. The rest of the gang finds out - Ninja Miki overhears, Yasunobu observes and Daimyo Suzuka Asahina | | |
