| 4:03am | True Tears, the Heroine Paradox, and the Madden Cover Jinx | | | | Of course, that is all pretentious-speak for “I finished True Tears and I can’t decide whether to be angry, satisfied, or moved to tears,” but carry on. I’ve railed on True Tears a couple of times before for being decidedly normal and unchallenging. It was very good looking... | | |
| 10:14pm | [Rapidfire] KyoAni dream remakes, Bamboo Blade, Fanime | | | | A new feature that will undoubtedly die past its second post or so, Rapidfire is basically an evolution of the Track Two theory in being a bunch of short posts that wouldn’t make it on their own, collected into one post. All we need now is those crazy Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei segment titles.... | | |
| 12:51am | sidetracked by shiori special: shakugan no shana second 24 | | | | “How can I praise you for something stupid like that?!? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate all the melonpan?” In the end, Shakugan no Shana II was like an average NASCAR race. It sounds awesome, there’s a lot of action, fire, and people getting punted into walls, but then you realize... | | |
| 4:58am | Haruhi Season 2 possibly dated, other news | | | | Been doing some news compilation over the last few days, nothing really worthy enough to deserve its own post but something I found out recently made it all worth itapparently we might be seeing more Haruhi sooner than we think! Full story after the jump, along with some other noteworthy stories. Haruhi... | | |
| 11:55pm | Series Review: KimiKiss Pure Rouge … love, where is thy sting? | | | | In the end, Owen is probably right. After how many thousands of words over the last five or so episodes riding the tide of KimiKiss, from the highs and lows of both the show’s execution and of my own personal Yuumi fandom, I’ve finally beached out on this show. I say tide for a reason.... | | |
| 8:59pm | Trendspotting Shortpost: Late-blooming glasses girls | | | | Ma~i. She says ‘Pooh bear’ to glasses. Ahaha~ Mao, Chairman of the People’s Republic of Kouichi. Mao and the Great Leap Forward into glasses land. Tomoyo Before. Kyou > Kotomi > Ryou >> Fuuko, character-wise. Cuteness-wise, it gets messy."/> Tomoyo After. See what... | | |
| 2:55am | CCY’s Coding Catalog: Two new games (plus Sacchin) | | | | In case you’re new here to M3, I aspire to be the ultimate (if not a tad stereotypical) geek by not only specializing in anime but also in game programming, and so I’ve taken the liberty here with Randall’s great hosting to combine the two into a near-perfect storm of geekiness (only... |
| 9:47pm | Mission-E, Code-E’s second season, dated and detailed | | | | Code-E was the sleeper show of the summer season last year, a slice-of-life romance which felt a lot like what ARIA would be if it had some semblance of plot. That is, it was a warm and relaxing show, with a very calm pace to it, but every now and again it would kick into action and move the story along... | | |
| 3:17am | (Supposed to be) Short post: At the end of the anime world | | | | It’s red alert at M3 camp following the sudden revelation that all the shows I’ve been watching are ending. With the combination of some ace 1-cour shows this season with some excellent carryover shows from the fall season, the next week or two is looking to be one giant send-off to many... | | |
| 5:09pm | Waving the White Flag at KimiKiss 23 | | | | We’re just under the half-hour mark in terms of time left for the brilliantly normal and delightfully split-threaded romance KimiKiss, and still there is no end in sight, something that’s quite distressing given how much has to be done in how little an amount of time. It’s a strange... | | |
| 12:26am | Team Zetsubou reviews Shana II 22 | | | | + What to do when you want to say something about a show where there’s really nothing to be said about it? Unlike KimiKiss, where I can rant on and on for forever about how Yuumi is going to win lose end up alone turn lesbian for the frog sisters beat the everlasting crap out of Kouichi for... | | |
| 3:35am | Meta Night: Affecting the Anime-Watching Experience | | | | Although I’ve done very little actual posting about Clannad’s story itself in comparison to other shows, it’s popped up a reasonable amount of times in tangentially related works, such as (prepare the selfcest radar) some of the rants on moe I’ve written recently, and here it... | | |
| 4:31am | Why can’t H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ suck more? (3-5) | | | | I was really looking forward to panning H2O. Seemingly a basic low-level visual novel conversion with fanservice and light-hearted ’storyline’ cliches abounding, it didn’t seem to offer much promise. It’s been a while since I got to break out my flaming keyboard and H2O looked... | | |
| 3:29am | Emperor and Slave: The Mindgames of KimiKiss 22 | | | | Perhaps I’ve compared KimiKiss and Kaiji one too many times for two shows which couldn’t be more opposite in genre and tone, but once again the former surprises me with how much, speaking both outside and inside of the show’s context, it handles itself in a manner that’s almost,... | | |
