| 9:19pm | Sexploration? Really? | | | | If you haven't read it yet, check out this darling article on MSNBC. This Lulu facepalm image comes in handy a lot more than I wish it would.Dear sir,Please understand that anime is a medium. Not a genre. It would be just as faulty to claim that all American movies are causing Japanese people to become... |
| 8:06pm | Area no Kishi - Manga Review | | | | When I first read Area no Kishi, I wrote it off as just another sports series and quickly dropped interest in. Wow. I was so wrong, and I cannot say how glad I am that I was bored enough to pick it up again. I know practically zip about soccer (or, as everyone else in the world calls it, football), but... |
| 11:31pm | Today, I Packed a Bento (And then I took pictures) | | | | With a name like Ou-bento, you'd think I would talk about bento more often. Actually, I do like bento. A lot. In fact, packing bento is one of my hobbies. I'm not as cool as some of those artists out there who can make Pikachu out of rice or Goku who then goes super saiyan after you eat the seaweed portion.... |
| 1:00am | Moe moe moe moe moe! | | | | "MOEMOEMOEMOEMOEMOE."The latest "Chicks on Anime" at ANN covers the often controversial moe. While they managed to define moe and give a fairly balanced report on the state of moe fans, they didn't touch too much on their own personal feelings about moe or moe type characters. So, I'd like to talk about... |
| 10:21pm | Code Geass R2 Ep. 22 - Fashion Disasters and Other Things | | | | I waited nearly two seasons for a decent Karen scene and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. I meanreally? That's it? No buildup? No drama? I'll admit the background music was nice, butwow. This is disappointing. I've been firmly in the Karen camp since the beginning, and I patiently waited for my turnand... | | |
| 3:49am | Double Arts - BAD END | | | | That might be one of the most disappointing endings ever. More than Yamato Gensouki. More than Zombie Powder. Apparently the ratings for Double Arts were so low the series actually got axed. D: And so we get a BAD END. This is pretty disappointing, as I was actually really excited about it and I even... |
| 12:36am | Shugo Chara 48 | | | | Back to school and the guardians are once again adored by all. Things are a little different for Yaya, though. New students actually call her "senpai" and she realizes that she actually has to have some sort of responsibility now. Kairi has gone missing, so the Jack chair is currently empty. Kukai comes... | | |
| 7:24pm | Confessions of a Fandubber | | | | You're surfing YouTube. You find a clip from your favorite anime and you click without thinking. It looks normal at first, but suddenly the background music comes to a screeching halt and instead of your favorite seiyuu, you hear some thirteen-year-old kid with a retainer and a heavy accent. You can... |
| 2:57am | Akuma to Love Song - Manga Review | | | | Akuma to Love Song is quite possibly the most refreshing, infuriating, addictive, and frustrating series I've ever read. Maria Kawai was expelled from a high class private school for "violence against a teacher." Her reception to the lowly regarded Touzuka High School is decidedly cold. It's hard to... |

| 1:57am | Shin-chan but not the Crayon kind | | | | It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Shin-chan, the superhero Canadian mountie of Shinjuku! And he's here to tell kids what to do when dealing with "bad adults." Yes, I'm blogging an educational anime for little kids. Deal with it. Shin-chan is a series of vaguely related animated shorts involving little... |
| 10:25pm | Code Geass R2 Ep.21 - Too Deep for my Fried Rice Brain | | | | What I WatchedWhat I ExpectedWhat I GotAll this deep thinking philosophical stuff makes my head hurt, and not in a good way. So Lulu's parents wanted to stop time and create a world without lies? And they had to use a thought elevator to do so before Anya decided to merge with Lilith? Oh well. Either... | | |
| 12:29am | Shugo Chara 47 - It's Tough in Showbiz | | | | Yukari is sick, so Amu has to take over as Utau's manager. Utau isn't too happy with this, but she deals with it.

| 12:55am | Politics and Stuff | | | | I was probably going to write something about anime, but U.S. politics is just so much more interesting today.

| 11:56pm | Chuya-san 4Koma | | | | Just trying to get used to my tablet, so you're stuck with some of my "art" for today. Old joke is old. It's Shuya from Battle Royale.
