| 4:52pm | Fanservice and its place in anime | | | | Sexy or slutty? I read with interest tjhan’s thoughts on harem series and several closing thoughts on the fanservicey Ninomiya-kun. No matter what others may say, I firmly believe fanservice has its place in anime even though it has been abused all too often, undermining its true purpose. |
| 6:53pm | Christmas DVD Haul | | | | It’s great to have someone looking out for you, a confidante who knows your tastes and exploits your weaknesses to ensure that he doesn’t descend the slippery path of financial ruin alone reports promptly the anime bargains, diligently scoured from even halfway around the globe.

| 6:10pm | [Artbook] Galaxy’s Child by Nao Goto | | | | Eager to capitalise on the store-wide members 20% discount at Kinokuniya, I browsed through the artbook section and was instantly captivated by the vibrant artwork of Nao Goto in the form of Galaxy’s Child. Some artists are good at background art while others excel in character design but Goto... |
| 5:21pm | 10 eroge conversions worth your time | | | | With the likes of DCII adding to the vitriolic arsenal of anime fundamentalists, it’s time that we harem moderates retaliate against the tyranny of bishoujo bigotry. There ARE worthy eroge conversions and series like Wind ~ A breath of heart or Green green are hardly the defining works of this... |
| 2:57am | Zero no Tsukaima Season 3 - (Non)-Expectations | | | | For a huge fan of season one, I’m not looking forward to another installation of Zero no Tsukaima. I lay the blame squarely on the sequel which not only destroyed the good in the preceding season but went on to mercilessly quell the possibility of having an decent third. Zero no Tsukaima is... | | |
| 7:07am | Hontouni sale - for a limited time at Central National Library! | | | | Adun has an interesting poll and post about selling one’s anime merchandises. It comes at a very appropriate time since I have decided to sell almost 1/3 of figure collection and most of my MEGAMI magazines. So am I finally quitting on the PassionTM? On the contrary, I’m pruning my collection... |
| 7:41pm | Battle of the Shirakawas - Nanaka vs Kotori | | | | Even though DCII has gone to hell in a handbasket, I don’t regret catching the series because of one reason - Nanaka. Her ep 7 made the series for me and they can even throw another 2 cours of lacklustre Minatsu drama at me as long as I have a glimpse of Nanaka goodness. Still, one thing troubles... | | |
| 7:13am | Myself; Yourself 11 - Simply brilliant | | | | And here I was wondering how they are going to resolve so many storythreads in 3 eps. With a genius stroke of shocking Hoshino, we now have the Shuu/Shuri and Hoshino’s tales wrapped up, in a dramatic and touching manner to boot. I knew the Nakahara Mai role was more than meets the eye but this... | | |
| 4:50am | What’s wrong with Takayuki of Kiminozo? | | | | Now now, this is not a challenge or dare but a genuine, searching question for the masses of Takayuki haters out there. And yes, let’s discuss this like the mature, civilised adults we are. *puts on flameproof suit anyway* XD This really is an extension of a previous discussion and I’ve... |
| 9:16am | 10 harem leads - Lame and shame list | | | | How far you have fallen, O mighty DC franchise! After reading Hinano and Shirukii’s thoughts on DCII 11, I sobbed uncontrollably for 3 hours okay 2.. alright alright, teared up a little for a couple of minutes. Even though DCII didn’t play out the choicest of its game routes, this Koko-Minatsu... |
| 2:48am | Shugo Chara - Bishoujo rankings | | | | First, a big thank you to Impz for his incessant chants about Amu that lead me to discover THE mahou shoujo anime of 2007 - Shugo Chara. Man, the last time I felt all gooey-sweet inside had to be Cardcaptor Sakura. And like CCS, I’m utterly enamoured with the bishoujos of the series and not ashamed... | | |
| 5:40pm | Myself; Yourself - From adolescence to adulthood | | | | If there’s a consistent theme in all the character tales in Myself; Yourself, it’s not romance, it’s growing pains. Of course love, being a huge component of adolescence, is featured prominently in the series but to market M;Y as a ‘heartful love story’ may have be misleading.... | | |
| 8:14am | Figure preorders - How to avoid duds | | | | You are unlikely to get her off the shelves Figure collecting is a grueling passion. Not only is it expensive, it is time consuming - that is if you are serious about having a worthy collection. Any Itsukis or Suginamis can have a figure collection but to possess one that is the envy of your neighbours,... |
| 8:43am | Are you an anime-lolicon that could turn into a RL-pedo? | | | | Have you ever met a bishoujo so cute in RL? One of the most memorable Hontouni exchanges goes like this; Stripey: In my years of teaching nine year olds, I’ve never met anyone like Fate (Testarossa). Zyl: Good for both of you. Instantly, I knew my good brother was right. Fate had all that I’m... |
