| 6:45am | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 3 ~ music |  | | | Third round and this time, it’s all about the music. You can have anime with voices, but once you cue the music at the right time, you get some pretty amazing results. Kudos to all the composers and arrangers, and the vocalists for all their hard work! Firstly, we’d like to get our Top... | | |
| 2:10am | Otaku Inbou #1: We have arrived! |  | | | So this was a long time in coming. Talks of a podcast were around since the early days of KZI and finally, at the beginning of 2009, it has come to fruition. You may notice that Blade was absent and that another new person is present: 2Shea. 2Shea is one of the main reasons as to why the podcast took... |
| 4:53pm | Xam’d: Lost Memories ep. 21 |  | | | [ Episode 21: Sanctuary Breached ] FFFFFFUCK YEAH Epic episode is epic. I was loving most of what happened throughout the episode. From the infiltration, to Haru’s dad kicking ass, to Akiyuki’s parents finally reuniting. Just great stuff. Especially the reunion, very touching. And yes,... | | |
| 5:15am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 11 |  | | | [ Episode 11: One Night ] Never walk around with sharp objects in the middle of the night while drunk. Damn. I knew Keisei’s death was being hinted at but I didn’t expect Oori to stab him at the end. Granted Oori isn’t in control of himself but it still is a shocker. Heh, and it... | | |
| 5:05am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 10 |  | | | [ Episode 10: Stars to the Earth ] Oh my. Hokuto is a cutie! So with this episode the major antagonists are introduced and it is revealed that they also are responsible for Makina’s death (and her family’s). They seem like a rather powerful bunch though the strongest of them doesn’t... | | |
| 3:45am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 9 |  | | | [ Episode 9: Make my chest flutter ] What thewhere did she come from? This was a pretty quiet episode and also a very weird one. I say weird because one of the recurring characters was a female that fell for Makina because she saw her killing a Corpse. Yeah, that’spretty odd if you ask me.... | | |
| 7:24am | Maria†Holic ep. 1 |  | | | [ Episode 1: A Mischievous Kiss ] My dream anime. 2009 is here! And to start the year off, this season I’ll be blogging Maria†Holic, one of my most anticipated shows for Winter ‘08. (I had to snag this one away from Leon.) To give a little insight on the series, Maria†Holic is a SHAFT... | | |
| 3:31am | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 2 ~ character |  | | | The second part of AIA ‘08 focuses now on what makes a show unique and that is the numerous amount of characters, each with their own personalities, preferences, hobbies, you name it. They give life to the show and they are the stars that get seiyuu their money in their wallets. For this year,... | | |
| 2:34am | Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka ep. 9~12 [END] |  | | | [ Episode 9: Rose Madder Colored Birthday ] So we learn where Jun’ichi keeps his stash of dirty mags, and we also learn that Minato reads them often too. Yup, something’s definitely wrong with this family. Yuuhi goes out on her way to make Jun’ichi a cake, which turns out to be... |
| 11:15pm | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 1 ~ genre |  | | | Every year, fresh from the Land of the Rising Sun, an overflow of anime in all directions surges out, and we, as technophiles, catch those torrents. In the year of 2008, there was quite many hits and misses. There’s no in-betweens, no so-sos, no kindas, sortas, or littles. Well maybe but I’d... | | |
| 8:48pm | Xam’d: Lost Memories ep. 20 |  | | | [ Episode 20: Watered with Tears ] The unsung hero, Soldier A. Sayonara, Soldier A. You looked plain and didn’t stand out, your total screentime was less than 5 minutes, yet despite all of that you bacame the most GAR character in the show so far. I salute you, solider. Job well done. But seriously,... |
| 7:00pm | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 8 |  | | | [ Episode 8: Tranquility ] What an oddly titled episode. Wow. I can honestly say I didn’t see what happened in this episode coming at all. Isaki got snuffed out by the punks he roughed up in the previous episode which in turn caused Minai go from a Shikabane Hime to just a normal Shikabane.... | | |
| 7:05am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 7 |  | | | [ Episode 7: The False Soul of Language ] Makina kicks ass even with ONE arm. This was yet another great episode. If there’s one thing Shikabane Hime excels in it is definitely action. This episode re-introduces Minai and Isaki who have taken over the duties of Makina and Keisei since they’re... | | |
| 6:00am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 6 |  | | | [ Episode 6: The End of the Rampage ] Dual Shikabane Hime Beam! Best episode yet! Also, best fight yet! Makina really had a tough time with that Corpse-car and even lost an arm to it. Thanks to Keishi though, she was able to finish it off. The best stuff though was when everyone confronted Akasha.... | | |
| 5:20am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 5 |  | | | [ Episode 5: Betrayer Priest ] Er, shouldn’t that be Traitor Priest? A corpse-car/van/SUV? Haha, that’s hilarious and yet terrifying. The new Shikabane Hime is pretty interesting though I don’t understand her reasoning for luring Oori into that car as yet. Does she already know... | | |
