| 3:10pm | FUNimation Simulcasts Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ | | | | And in a sudden and surprising move (well, they hinted at it a few days go), FUNimation will be begin simulcasting Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ today, posting the first four episodes in their video portal at 10:30 CDT (which means it'll probably be up by the time you read this).I haven't watched... |
| 6:32pm | Mari and Gali Ep. 04 - Radioactive Ramen | | | | Galileo takes Marika to a ramen shop that looks more like a yakuza hangout than an eatery. The ramen in the shop is heated using microwaves (you see, the microwaves excite the water molecules, causing them to heat up). Mari isn't too impressed with the ramen, so the gang leader/ramen chef serves her... |
| 3:55pm | Skip Beat! Ch. 139 - Pre-Valentine's Day | | | | Mimori (from Shou's Angel PV) reappears to give him chocolates, but he's as cold as usual. Her career is advancing nicely (she's going to be a Gravure Idol), but he has no interest in her at all. Meanwhile, Kyoko is in a state of despair because she doesn't have a birthday give for Ren. Everyone tells... | | |
| 6:20pm | Arisa - Manga Firstlook | | | | Arisa is the latest series by shoujo manga author Natsumi Andou. I really enjoyed some of her previous works (Zodiac P.I. and Kitchen Princess), so I went into this one with high expectations for innocent high school girls, sweet boys, and lots of endearing romantic situations. Never have I been so pleased... |
| 9:36pm | Anime! The Abridged Series Ep. 01 - Girly Girly Romance | | | | After a long slumber, miharaoujirou (of Casey & Friends) has posted another video. This one is not of the 2Kids variety, but rather a parody of the blisteringly popular abridged anime that seems to be running around YouTube these days. The first episode is a sendup of shoujo romance. The ending promises... |
| 4:10pm | Mari and Gali Ep. 03 - Pretty Boy Newton | | | | Mariko decides to search for a butler host club so she can have many beautiful men fawn over her. Galileo mistakes her interest for a muscle club and has a bizarre image of her eating meat an protein supplements to bulk up. However, Mari's bishonen radar just picked up a signal, and she floats off (literally)... |
| 8:28pm | Clever Stop Motion Film | | | | A friend pointed me in the direction of this video. It's a very nicely done piece of stop motion "animation" that utilizes stop motion images and a surrounding environment to create a very cool little piece. It's in Japanese, but you don't actually have to be able to read Japanese to understand what's... |
| 1:53am | K-ON Ep. 02 - Why isn't it that easy in real life? | | | | "Someone who can't even play guitar doesn't deserve a two thousand dollar Les Paul as their first guitar - especially not for only five hundred dollars of borrowed cash." So says mai kareshi (drummer and guitarist) who has been kind enough to watch K-ON with me. And while he definitely doesn't mind the... |
| 1:59am | Ristorante Paradiso Ep. 01 - A Bizarre Soap Opera | | | | It's like Ouran but creepy because everyone is in their mid 40's or something. Forgive me lack of relevant screencaps - you probably know by now that I'm only in it for the food (unlike all the patrons of the restaurant). The restaurant staff is all male, and they all wear glasses because the owner's... |
| 3:17am | Mari and Gali Ep. 02 - Galileo is a Lolicon, Marie Curie is a Ninja | | | | Marika wakes up wondering where she is. She discovers her kind hostess is none other than Marie Curie, who lives just above Galileo. Gali the perv joins the ladies for tea, then goes out on the town with Mari. Mari just wants to go home, but the bridge is destroyed, so she's trapped on the island. Galileo... |
| 7:08pm | Skip Beat! Ch. 138 - Spring has Sprung! | | | | It's spring (but only in President Lory's mind). Rather, it's nearing Valentine's Day, a day of love that he adores with all his heart. Moko's manager tells her than she'll need to find a special someone to give chocolates too, or Lory will be sad. Since she's a member of the Love Me section, she'll... | | |
| 5:24pm | Shugo Chara Ep. 77 - Amu's First Date | | | | In this episode, Ikuto takes a hot, steamy shower. It hardly has anything to do with the plot, but I want more hits on my blog, so I'm adding hot, steamy, shower, and Ikuto to this post because I know some fangirl out there is googling those keywords RIGHT NOW. Anyway, the real thrust of the episode... | | |
| 5:11pm | Shugo Chara Ch. 39 - Capturing the Embryo | | | | When we last left our heroes, they were duking it on Tokyo Tower and Amu and Ikuto suddenly got some new transformations. As it turns out, only Amu's was actually a "new" transformation. Ikuto's Seven Sea's Treasure transformation was his original, but another "presence" inside of him was causing him... | | |
| 5:05am | Sengoku Basara Ep. 01 - Not the best History Lesson | | | | I would have blogged this squalid garden of manliness sooner, but I was busy watching lolis with guitars. Sengoku Basara is based on a video game which is loosely based on Japanese history. So loose, in fact, that the North American port removed all traces of Japanese history from the characters' back... |
| 2:02am | K-ON Ep. 01 - It's so CUTE | | | | Wow. My moe moe meter doesn't get set off very often, but K-ON managed to do it. As expected from KyoAni. Quick summary: Three girls form a music club/band in school. They need a fourth member, but the only person interested is a clumsy girl who doesn't even play an instrument. They let her in anyway.... |
