| 9:34am | Maison Ikkoku (41-76) Third Impressions | | | | (Mostly spoiler-free, until last paragraph) I'm finding it hard to believe that I actually went through 36 episodes of this show in the span of a few days. I suppose the fact that classes were cancelled due to a holiday helped, but regardless, that is quite a large marathon |
| 6:34pm | Maison Ikkoku (1-40) Second Impressions | | | | (Spoiler Free) There are plenty of anime, books, and films out there with twisting storylines and dramatic plot twists - and they can be quite interesting provided they're done well.

| 3:05am | Maison Ikkoku First Impressions | | | | Though I would usually describe myself as an anime fan, I watch relatively few anime compared to the people I find on message boards. Looking over their lists of anime they've seen, it is far, far longer than my own list would ever be. I think that I just have |
| 5:35pm | Review - 5cm Per Second (Byōsoku Go Senchimētoru) | | | | I had heard constant positive praise about “Byousoku 5cm” prior to watching it, so I went into the film expecting a lot. Now that I’m finished, I can safely say a few things. First of all, I think it is a well-made film which deserves all the praise it gets. |

| 7:38pm | Review - Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora | | | | “Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora” (which means "looking up at the half-moon") is, for the most part, a drama and romance anime with the regular dash of comedy. The plotline revolves around a boy who resides in a hospital with a illness that isn’t life threatening. However, a new | | |

| 1:04am | WALL-E sheet music | | | | I was kind of obsessed with WALL-E for a bit so I wrote up some sheet music for the main theme (The Axoim on the soundtrack).http://omohide.com /WALL_E_Theme_Axiom.pdfhttp:// omohide.com/wall_e_theme_axiom .mp3(leave off the www) |
| 3:35am | Review - WALL-E , by Pixar | | | | Since the summer has started I've been catching up on a few films I've been meaning to watch, and there's one thing that I've learned about myself in the process. I would never make a good critic. The reason for this is that if I watch a bad |

| 2:34am | Thoughts on True Tears (Review) | | | | (Note: Spoiler-free review) I sometimes have a preference for completed series because I think spreading out episodes weekly can sometimes dilute the impact of the storyline or direction. Regardless, sometimes I pick up on a series which I like and notice it's still ongoing, and therefore I'm forced... | | |

| 10:02pm | True Tears - 12 | | | | Essentially, this episode seems to revolve around the old saying, "You don't realize the value of something until it's gone". The series has been building up to the dance performed by Shin. When it happens, he is thinking about Noe and to Hiromi's surprise, Noe is the one | | |
| 7:08pm | Jon Nakamatsu and the “Losers Club” | | | | Jon is now one of my favourite people in the world. What an inspirational speech. My favourite part is when he says "In 1993 I was rejected at the screening for the Van Cliburn piano competition" and then gives his fellow Van Cliburn judges a mockingly angry look. |
