| 11:19pm | Minor Thoughts on the End of Saimoe 2008 | | | | With this year’s SaiMoe tournament at an end, it looks as if Kagami is the superior Hiiragi twin. Although I am happy that Kagami beat Tsukasa I am a little bit disappointed with this year’s event as a whole. For one the top eight consisted of characters from only a total of 4 series; CLANNAD... | | |
| 5:09am | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 5 | | | | Because of the Hiiragi Twins’ fabulous performance in this year’s SaiMoe tournament, I decided for this week’s picture to draw Tsukasa and Kagami from Lucky Star. I was originally planning to do a Konata x Kagami picture in a few weeks time but it’s not very often you have... | | |
| 8:51pm | May’n Answers My Question! | | | | A few weeks ago, while I was in the middle of finishing Macross Frontier, Honya mentioned to me that DarkMirage was hosting an e-mail interview with May’n (the singing voice of Sheryl Nome) to commemorate her upcoming performance at AFA ‘08 in Singapore. Anyone was invited to submit a... | | |

| 5:06pm | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 4 | | | | As a change of pace, I decided to draw a comedic yuri picture instead of a serious one this time. This week I drew Konoe Konoka and Sakurazaki Setsuna from Mahou Sensei Negima about to perform a “Pactio.” Original pic below: I forgot what chapter of the manga this comes from but I believe... | | |
| 3:26pm | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 3 | | | | For this week, I decided to draw Kuga Natsuki and Fujino Shizuru AKA ShizNat from Mai-HiME. Original picure below as always: I wish I was able to include Yuuki Nao as well so I could have some Rosa, en bouton, and petite sœur action a la MariMite. Don’t know what to draw for next week so... |
| 4:38am | Day Spent in NEET-mode | | | | Today I ended up wasting my last day of break by barricading myself in my room with my computer. I woke up relatively early and planned to work on some art projects but had a headache so instead I lurked around /jp/ for a while saving Touhou pictures like always and checking out other interesting threads... |
| 5:08am | Initial Impressions Fall 2008: First Round | | | | I didn’t feel like studying for my Japanese test yet so instead I wrote this post summarizing my initial reactions to some of this season’s new anime. The first five series are as follows: CLANNAD ~AFTER STORY~, Kannagi, Rosario+Vampire CAPU2, To Aru Majutsu no Index, and Toradora! === ... | | |

As of October 3, the Macross franchise is celebrating its 26th anniversary - and in this, my first post as a part of Lyrical Spark, I’d like to share... | | |
| 2:45pm | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 2 | | | | This week’s picture is Shizuma and Nagisa from Strawberry Panic! along with two guest drawings by some friends. Unfortunately my friend forgot to bring colored chalk but he suggested just shading instead so it worked out well enough. Original picture below: No yuri drawings next week due to... | | |
| 4:58am | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 1 | | | | Today I continued my tradition of drawing yuri on the chalkboard before anime club showings. I started it last year when I was bored so I used the projector to trace my wallpaper which was a spoof of Nanoha and Fate in the Kannazuki no Miko embrace pose. I have the original picture below but I still... | | |
| 4:06am | Goofy Predictions for the End of Code Geass | | | | Last night during dinner, I ended up having some conversations with my friends about what we thought would happen during the Geass finale. There were some serious predictions but many of them were just plain hilarious. The best part is that with how ridiculous R2 has been, anything is possible and... | | |
| 10:17pm | Honya’s Fall 2008 Watch List | | | | Epic Anime Season is Epic. Fall season will be starting in just a few days time and it is looking to be one of the best in recent memory. With shows like CLANNAD: After Story and Gundam 00 Second Season, this coming season looks like it will be Fall 2007 remix version 2.0. There are also plenty of... | | |
| 6:31pm | Just Watched the New Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae Trailer | | | | As the title says, just finished watching the four-and-a-half minute trailer and once again I’m really excited about it. The first two minutes or so are essentially just recaps of Jigoku Shoujo and Futakomori with various shots from the series including spoilers of the ends. Midway through we... | | |
| 6:00am | First UVA Anime Club Showing This Semester | | | | After canceling last week’s showing due to football, I have finally done the job I was elected to do; take several hours out of my weekend to show club members anime.
