| 1:33am | [Fanime] Friday Five Minute Report | | | | Spent fifteen minutes at Fanime, have five minutes to write on it. Didn’t have much time other than to be overwhelmed by all the stuff, so here’s the only thing I remembered, cosplay highlights. - Hatsune Miku; obscure enough to surprise me. - A very well done Haruhi / Mikuru pair. Sadly... | | |
| 10:31pm | Harem Personality Quiz: ask your blogger what harem anime is right for you! | | | | So you wanna watch a harem anime. Or maybe you’re just amused by my post title. In any case, the harem genre is one that enjoys a negative reputation from anime viewers, mainly due to the core nature of it being one guy surrounded by many girls waiting to jump him - rather pandering, even I... | | |
| 4:29am | A Month Late, A Couple Million Yen Short: Kaiji, reviewed | | | | So what happened? I posted numerous times on the show, shoved it to the top of the viewing list over and over, gave it a nine - the highest ranking possible - on the ever-important Scale of Condensing A Complex Anime Into A Single Digit Number (aka MyAnimeList). And yet, it takes until a month later... | | |
| 6:38am | Fanime Blogger Meetup: The feature-length page | | | | (Un)fortunately, none of us bloggers will look like this Well, now that Author’s linked it from his end, I might as well make an official page for it. As mentioned before in previous posts, I am heading to Fanime, an anime convention in San Jose, Calfornia, this year in 2008. It’ll be my... | | |
| 1:57am | Romantic Rematch! Toshokan Sensou challenges ItaKiss and Special A | | | | Following the two-and-change shoujo shows in this season has been an interesting look at the sort of evolution this genre has undergone in the 21st century. There are distinct kinds of styles found in these shows tailored for the female audience - although they still manage to find a large audience... | | |
| 8:26pm | [Rapidfire] Fanime, blogroll upkeep, Toshokan Sensou | | | | The feature that everyone expected to be dead - probably including myself - returns for a second edition of quick ramblings about nothing in particular. It’s pretty much as the title says in terms of the three topics - a call to arms about the upcoming anime convention in San Jose, new enlistments... | | |
| 2:43am | Team Clannad reviews … themselves (Series Review: Clannad) | | | | All right everyone, great play we put on their for the Theater Club, now let’s wrap this up with a final reflection on how it all went. Nagisa, you’re the lead character, you start uh where’s Nagisa? Tomoya and her went to go take the trash out by the gym storage locker a long... | | |
| 3:23am | Shoujo Showdown! Special A vs. Itazura no Kiss, expounded to painful length | | | | I enjoy contradictions; not only in my mind-bending anime that I watch but also in what kind of anime I watch. I like to tout my love for the visual-novel conversions, a genre that is on the mild end, gender-neutral with cute girls and sad stories, and on the extreme ends, a fanservice free-for-all... | | |
| 12:45am | A Cardcaptor in the 21st Century: Shugo Chara 25, changing of the guardians | | | | It’s quite ironic that shortly after a lengthy meta-post on how side characters tend to have their characteristics amplified (since they only usually have a single one) to the point that their image eclipses their true merit, I find myself stumbling upon the a similar concept in characters, and... | | |
| 4:04am | The Hook: OP/EDs that will have you biting the bait again and again | | | | A long, long time again, in a blog post much removed from today’s, I talked a bit about how the OP of a show was something quite vital to the success of a show; maybe it was the show that made the OP, or the OP that made the show, but either way, if I liked one, I probably liked the other. And... | | |
