| 1:00pm | Winter 2009 Wrap-up: Maria+Holic, Minami-ke Okaeri & Skip Beat! |  | | | This is a series of posts on winter 2009 shows I finished. Hit up the previous one about Clannad ~After Story~ and Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th. This post will cover three more. Maria+Holic What a disappointment. The show went nowhere after seeming so promising. The two best characters of the show, Mariya... | | |
| 3:28am | (Anime - TV) Eden of the East 01 - Metareview |  | | | This post may contain spoilers. You have been warned :) Haven’t done this in a while. Thought I may start metareviewing again, so here’s Eden of the East 01. From Minimum Tempo I have to admit, I really, really liked this episode. From the OP to the actual English used by the American characters,... | | |
| 1:05am | Winter 2009 Wrap-up: Clannad ~After Story~ & Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th |  | | | The winter season’s been over for a few weeks now, but I’ve only recently finished the shows from the winter season (and some from the fall) that I was watching. I’ve yet to finish Akikan! and RideBack, and I haven’t caught up to the latest episodes of Churuya-san, Haruhi-chan,... | | |

| 6:47pm | Blog Update - 2009.04.14 |  | | | Few updates I’m lazy. Fuck you. Upcoming posts I’m gonna do a guest post on Shameful Otaku Secret! soon. Metareviews will start again for K-ON!, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and maybe a couple of other shows. I have some ideas for meta posts (i.e. the anime blogosphere, not anime) too.... | | |
| 5:10pm | So many damn K-ON! posts |  | | | I haven’t really animeblogged in a while, so I thought I might do so today while I’m sick at home. K-ON! is the only spring 2009 show I have started, and I find it magically delicious. I could blog about the winter shows that I’m finishing up (like the horrible roller coaster that... | | |
| 8:14am | (Game - DS) Blue Dragon Plus Review |  | | | Having never played Blue Dragon for the Xbox 360, I assumed both it and its DS sequel would be your typical Japanese RPG: slow, turn-based, and grind-heavy. For better or for worse, Blue Dragon Plus is not that; it’s more of an RTS/RPG hybrid. Your characters are controlled in real-time and they... | | |
| 3:23am | Mid-season thoughts on RideBack |  | | | After five episodes of juggling two completely different shows, in episode six RideBack finally brought action into the story with the GGP’s use of White Rides and Rin’s arrest. Although it’s arguable as to whether RideBack was exciting and eventful prior to episode six, we know that... | | |
| 8:26am | White Album’s use of on-screen text |  | | | It’s not a damper on my viewing experience, but White Album’s use of on-screen text to convey Touya’s emotions and thoughts is rather pointless. Many of his thoughts are easily shown through his facial expressions and memories, and the displayed words simply communicate the message... |

| 1:00pm | My top five, aka the Special A |  | | | I previously mentioned four other shows in my “Special A” list (still thinking of a better name), an exclusive group of meaningful anime. Now that I think about it, I suppose it’s kind of like Jeff Lawson’s list of favorite anime. I just thought I’d list the other four... | | |

| 2:13am | My silky love… |  | | | The amount of anime I’ve watched pales in comparison with most of yours, but I still keep a top ten show list. While that consists of the shows rated with 10s and 9s on my MAL list, I do have a separate list of special anime that are more meaningful to me. The show must have done something significant... | | |

| 2:00pm | Naruto as a launch pad |  | | | I had a rather interesting conversation with IcyStorm and a friend about Naruto the other day. I understand that Naruto, Bleach, One Piece and other “mega-anime” have a certain stigma these days that seems to repel many otaku these days, and IcyStorm is one of them. Personally, I still like... | | |
