| 2:57pm | Marie and Gali Ep. 01 - Gravity (and levers?) | | | | The weirdness factor on this one is pretty high, but for some reason I really like it. Mari and Gali is some sort of science lesson "cleverly disguised" as the adventures of a gothloli, her pet stuffed animal, and Galileo Galilei. I don't know. It just works. Sorta. In this episode, Mariko moves to a... |
| 5:23pm | Cookin' Idol Ai! Mai! Main! Ep. 01 - Cabbages and bad CG | | | | Yes, that is a picture of a unicorn pulling a lettuce carriage through outer space. And yes, that screencap is pretty indicative of the coherency of the entire episode. Quick summary: Main is an "adorable" little girl who's trying to become an idol. Except she has zero self confidence and overwhelming... |
| 3:09pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 76 - Secrets and Stuff | | | | Amu is dreaming happily about Tadase's confession, but when she wakes up, her happy mood is ruined by the fact that Ikuto is still sleeping in bed with her. At the Guardian meeting, Yaya and Rima notice that Amu and Tadase are being a little "rabu rabu," and the grill Amu about what's going on. After... | | |
| 5:03pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 75 - Ramen! (and plot) | | | | We continue to advance the plot, Doki style. Utau shows up at Amu's house searching for Ikuto. Amu's afraid the jig is up and that Utau knows Ikuto is in her closet, but Utau is actually just asking for Amu's help to find him. Utau takes her to a ramen stand so they can talk. While there, Utau orders... | | |
| 3:41pm | Shugo Chara Character Song Album Best! | | | | I've been anticipating this release for awhile, as it fulfills my desire for Amu character songs and (more importantly) a full version of Heartful Song. And it has "Best!" in the title, so surely it's a great release. I'm not really a musical genius or reviewer, but that doesn't stop me from having opinions.... | | |
| 9:14pm | Skip Beat! Ch. 137 - Are we there yet? | | | | Spoilers lie within: Kyoko continues her conversation from the last chapter. Chiori says that it's weird for Kyoko to thank her for such a performance, and Kyoko says it's not the performance - it's what she did off stage. Chiori's actions like tearing up her Kyoko's nameplate or pushing her down the... | | |
| 6:05pm | Mel Kano - Manga Review | | | | Relationships are sticky business - even moreso when the internet is involved. On the popular community site F.I.L. Gate, users Kakeru and HAL are the most adorable rabu rabu couple imaginable. However, their real world counterparts Shinjou and Haruka are rough, short-tempered, and violent. Their relationship... |
| 5:59pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 74 - Just in time for White Day | | | | I have a Shugo Chara backlog, but from the looks of it, not much happens to the plot until 74, so I'm skipping ahead for now. Ladies, this is what (half of) you have been waiting for. Tadase finally confesses to Amu, like for reals. Not just his little crush on Amulet Heart or being friends. He asks... | | |
| 11:40pm | Spring 2009 - It has Food | | | | Time for another exciting edition of "things I will probably be watching come Spring." FMA is on the list only because I won't be able to understand a thing all those kids at those conventions are talking about otherwise. As for the rest of the list, it's a little shorter this season. I have a job now.... |
| 8:39pm | Liar Game - And why you should be reading it. | | | | I've already written about Liar Game, but it's been thirty chapters since I did, and now the story is really going places. Places that you want to be. Why? Because Akiyama is smarter and cooler than Light, Lelouch and that one Hiyama guy combined. Yes. I said it. And do you want to know why this is the... |
| 2:00am | Shugo Chara Ch. 38 - Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler | | | | The battle rages on. And by that, I mean that the flashback continues. Lots of angsty scenes and sad memories, because Ikuto is a sad, sad catboy. But that's okay. Because even though they don't get to see important stuff, we at least learn a little more about why he's moody (but not why he's interested... | | |
| 1:09am | Choco Parfait - Manga Review | | | | I love food. I love it dearly. I especially adore cute foods (bento, sweets, snacks). So naturally a series with a name like "Choco Parfait" caught my attention. And to my delight, it was, in fact, about food and not some inane shoujo romance. Choco Parfait is a 4koma about two girls. One is the daughter... |
| 12:38am | Starting a new Comic | | | | One of the things that has been keeping me busy as of late is my work on an original comic. I'm loathe to call it "manga" as my circle isn't Japanese at all, and while our style is obviously inspired by Japanese art, it certainly isn't manga. We finished our first page today, and I am very delighted... |
| 5:56pm | Skip Beat Ch. 134-136 - Level 5 Torture | | | | Picking up from where we last left off, Kyoko suggests that Chiori's character should act as her "right hand" in bullying. When the director thinks that the Kaori character would be more suitable, Kyoko says that Kaori is too important, and she'd rather use someone disposable. During filming, she uses... | | |
