| 6:50pm | Pointless Artbook Show-off Post - KEI’s Gallery, Higurashi Summary Book | | | | Since I thought my ABe Lain illustration book looked kinda ronery on the shelf all by itself, I decided to order it some company. All thanks to the internet it didn’t take me long to find something that sparked my interest. But before I get started, let me apologize for the extremely poor quality... | | |
| 1:46pm | Animesphere Meltdown - Second Haruhi Appears | | | | Stop the press! I know I’m totally late with this post, I doubt there is any self-respecting anime watcher out there who hasn’t already heard of what happened. It seems that the second season of KyoAni’s biggest milestone so far, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, has appeared out of thin... | | |
| 10:58pm | Spring 2009 Mid-Season Check | | | | Oh yeah, a post at last! So the another season has reached its mid point and it’s time for me to post a bit of impressions so far. As usual, let me throw in the summary spreadsheets before commencing with the TL;DR which is once again plenty. Now let us proceed in the old fashioned way. Friend... | | |
| 8:53am | Hatsukoi Limited Anime Relationship Chart v2 | | | | As Hatsukoi Limited has progressed to its 6th episode I thought it was about time to update the relationship chart, so here you go. The show has been surprisingly good, especially considering how little I initially expected of it. Maybe JC Staff learned a lesson or two about HS romance anime from making... | | |
| 6:08pm | The Tayutama Box and K-ON! Drama - You Rage, You Lose! | | | | What would be a post without orz? And nobody does it better than Alicia. Last week I went through some highlights of the spring season and now I believe it’s about time to explore the RAGE-inducing side of things we’ve seen so far. However in before all the bitching I must say that this... | | |
| 8:39pm | Spring Season Highlights - Tactical Nuke Breasts and Exploding Miniatures | | | | Retardedness in MY anime? More likely than you think! Is it just me or is this season saturated with enough amusing retardedness to pave all of Botswana and then some? Not that the past two seasons would pale too much in comparison with such grand achievements as Akikan! and To Aru Majutsu no Index,... | | |
| 9:35pm | Hatsukoi Limited - Impressions So Far and Relationship chart v.1 | | | | Let me begin by saying that Hatsukoi Limited is surprisingly good. Maybe it’s because J.C. Staff has less unwarranted ambition for the series or because of decent enough original works that even their adaptation couldn’t screw up, who knows. In any case the series has managed to be quite... |
| 12:50pm | Birthday Post - A Brief History of Jinx! | | | | Yes, I am pleased to announce that my blog Jinx! is now about two years old. I say “about” because the exact date on which the blog started is unknown due to missing e-mails and long deleted posts. Since it was somewhere around this time when I got the idea of starting a blog and wrote up... | | |
| 5:34pm | Convention or Kindergarten? Finnish Failplay At Work | | | | Recently there has been quite a lot of buzz within the Finnish online anime circles about cosplay-fanatic preteens causing disturbance and utter chaos at conventions. But silly Nova, this is an universal phenomenon right? Maybe it is. But looks like comic convention Tampere Kuplii 2009 was the breaking... | | |
| 9:38pm | K-ON! 04 - Mio Moments | | | | Looks like once again KyoAni dominates the moe market, this time with the sheer power of long black hair and embarassed blushes. Yes, Mio is the moe queen of the season. With danbooru reporting 414 tags for akiyama_mio (175 for don’t_say_lazy) and K-ON! 4koma suddenly ranking as hot on MangaFox... |
| 8:55pm | Spring 2009 Season Impressions | | | | But I am lazy. I guess I have been procratinating enough with this post so let’s get to it: Nova’s impressions on this fine season. The initial hitlist underwent a whole bunch of changes but turns out it was all for the better. Based on what I have seen so far I’m convinced that we... | | |
| 6:21pm | Winter Season Goes Bye-Bye | | | | The best thing that came out of the past season. I apologize for the recent lack of activity here, especially considering last week’s surge of posts. I simply ran out of juice due to long evening shifts at work followed by a 4-day LAN-party. Also for the future record in case any more people from... | | |
| 9:00am | Natsu no Arashi - SHAFT of the Summer Storm | | | | Natsu no Arashi is 100% guaranteed SHAFT. There, straight to the point - I am sure most of you will be able to draw your conclusion on the show already. Those who dislike SHAFT’s unconventional visual trickery and directing may be excused, because beyond this point there will be nothing in this... | | |
| 8:01pm | Basquash - Gorgeous but Flat | | | | Seems to me that everyone and their grandmother is GAR for Basquash and since there was a vacancy after I decided to drop Saki, I thought it would be a good idea to check it out given some hype I ran across to. This is essentially a crossbreed of Air Gear and Gurren Lagann with just as little depth... | | |
| 9:53pm | Senjou no Valkyria - The Chronicles of Awesome | | | | Valkyria Chronicles looks and feels pretty damn nice. That’s pretty much all I feel like saying and thus ending the post here, but at least for the time being I try to avoid turning this blog into a one man’s /a/. But let’s see here: Cute girls - check. Soldiers - check. Cute soldier... | | |
