| 1:48am | Extracting the goodness of the projection being x handler | | | | What a turnaround it’s been for Asura Cryin’ - I checked out the first two eps, on Xellos-_^’s suggestion, for Tanaka Rie goodness and was quite ambivalent about it; miko x giant mecha x world destruction mix (or what IKnight called a meze) has already been done by Kannazuki no Miko,... |
| 7:18am | from the ancient times FGH | | | | More stuff from the pre-blog era for archival: FLCL, Gundam SEED, Hand Maid May, Hellsing. FLCL (Reviewed 2001-12-27) Weirdshit headtrip courtesy of Gainax of Evangelion Ep 25 and 26. Naota, a grade school boy, being fawned over by his older brother’s high school girlfriend and then assaulted... | | |
| 3:57am | Saki 2 | | | | Unfolding the wings of yuri dreams that is, the feeling of yuri love. love at first sight. I creep closer. Behold my shiny thighs of yuri desire! They are indeed shiny! That’s one way of putting it. Jiiiiiiiiiii Shiny thighs + Stare of Desire has not cast their spell? You just like me... |
| 7:53am | from the ancient times #ABC | | | | No, not Gachapen. While struggling to remember and add pre-2005 anime to MAL, I dug out the handful of old anime reviews I wrote which predate this blog. It’s been fun re-reading them; I’ve been surprised at how some of my views have changed. Or not. 801 T.T.S. Airbats (Reviewed 2001-12-27)... | | |
| 1:42pm | Hayate no Gotoku!! 2 | | | | Hayate sets off on a training journey of redemption. 18:02 - 18:38 LOL Yukiji calling Hina petanko after the latter used most of her prize money to pay off most of our favourite alcoholic teacher’s debts. 19:37 - 21:00 The beginning of Hina’s use of the Ayasaki-kun saluation. On the one... | | |
| 2:16am | K-ON 2 | | | | The K-ON4 work part-time to buy Yui a guitar.Could have just asked me; JPY 50,000 = Mio + Enjou Kousai sounds like a great bargain.Speaking of great bargains, this episode was really Mugi-chan’s; go nepotism!!Didn’t notice the eyebrows until now; now I’m just waiting for Yui to hit... |
| 3:06pm | Saki expectation management session one | | | | Even if the considerable buzz around Saki didn’t get me started on this series, the Shizu-sama Doctrine would have. Nonetheless some of the issues raised certainly sound prescient and might be useful in managing my expectations. On the issue of GONZO, Aroduc grudgingly gives credit. Like Kurogane,... |
| 2:03pm | Takei Hisa Ahoge animated gif | | | | As always, if you want to use it, please do not hotlink it (44 frames, about 600kb); instead download it and kindly use your own hosting space. The first person I thought of when I saw the above scene was Kabitzin LOL. Shizu-sama really seems to have concerned the Student Council Congress President... |
| 11:37pm | Zaku Spring Impressions | | | | Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood I was going to be all tsundere about this series - mainly because I hated the ending of the first iteration - but this first episode had such a great mix of action, recap and humour.Addicted to the OP - Electric guitar riff after the opening line and the scenes with... |
| 12:12pm | Saying, saving and falling from grace | | | | Calawain and Crusader at THAT as well as Minnie and Steve of Hey Say Anime as well as Matteas of Anime Raku gave the thumbs up, overall, for Maria+Holic but, like Totali, I was disappointed. Strikingly the complaints from Rabbit Poets and Baka Raptor are quite similar. From the former: (1) Not enough... |
| 3:32am | Hinagiku no Gotoku S2 :: Ep 1 | | | | Calawain writes: The first episode did not disappoint, ladies and gentlemen, there’s plenty of Hina to go around. I shed tears of relief and joy after confirming the good news with mine own eyes. Notes are based on the Eclipse sub timing. (Can someone tally up how much glorious Hina time we had?)... |
| 4:03pm | Winter 09 :: tis the Good Ends season for KugiRie tsunderes | | | | Well well well, what a pair of pleasant surprises. I tend to apply heavy discounts against series starring Kugimiya Rie tsundere characters due to, among other things, the tendency to take two steps forward and one step back (or more). But I actually enjoyed the endings for ToraDora! (Aye: Totali and... | | |
| 10:35am | Tama-nee needs no fig leaf | | | | I haven’t been sooo tempted by any Tama-nee figures before. Kotobukiya’s 4-Leaves forthcoming release just leaves the competition in the dust. White Tama-nee with non-tsun eyes (foobarbaz shoot) is Sweet but the whole point of the sculpt is Sultry - which Black Tama-nee oozes plenty of.Akiba... |
| 2:30am | the faces of Uchida | | | | Sweet, sour, spicy and bitter LOL. I’ve mentioned previously how much I enjoy Uchida screentime. In Okaeri, I’m happy to say that she’s still Got It. While she’s not as outwardly broken as, say, Mako-chan or Touma, Uchida embodies a nice balance between OTT WTFBBQ humour (best... |
| 1:10am | Distributed Attack Of Series Denial | | | | Er, what? Mahoromatic is an excellent anime. The last 2 eps of S2 simply don’t exist. Mentar’s comment reminded me about how it’s possible for me to continue to be a Lunamaria fanboy even after she did not kiss Shinn. All hail selective perception and memory: see and hear only the good... |
