| 7:36pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 62 - Rima vs. Nagihiko | | | | YES. Finally a worthwhile episode. That's the third one this season (the other two being 56 and 59). The guardians are cleaning up and they discover an old photograph with Nadeshiko in it. Rima is once again reminded that Nadeshiko and Amu are best friends, and she feels hurt. She's also threatened by... | | |
| 5:43am | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 61 - Sparklies! | | | | It's official. I'm behind on all anime this season. Partly due to my hectic job, and partly because I'm not as interested in what I'm watching. Shugo Chara is a good example of this. A new chara named Kiran appears and runs around doing good deeds to make people sparkle with happiness. The end. I wish... | | |
| 5:29am | Ice Revolution - Manga Firstlook | | | | So I've always liked figure skating, but I found Ginban Kaleidoscope a little bland. So with high hopes but no expectations, I took my first steps into chapter one of Ice Revolution. The lead, Masaki is the only girl in a dojo family. She's an expert in karate, winning one tournament after another, even... | | |
| 6:34am | Pig Bride - Manwha Review | | | | With a name like Pig Bride, it's hard not be curious as to the content of the story. Si-Joon is the spoiled son of a wealthy politician. Unfortunately, it seems that due to his lineage, he must break a curse by marrying a girl so ugly that she hides her face behind a pig mask. As a child, he was coerced... |
| 7:40pm | Darker than Black Funimation Dub | | | | A month or so ago, Funimation made the first three episodes of Darker than Black available for viewing online. I finally got around to giving it a watch. Yes, I am a slow bento.The vocal cast brings in a good performance for the most part. Jason sounds nothing like the original Hei, but his characterization... | | |
| 2:54am | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 60 - I can predict this one... | | | | Blah. Another filler episode. ::sigh:: There's a girl at school who likes fortunetelling. It doesn't take a psychic to figure out that Lulu shows up. The girl transforms into Future Dream with the power to manipulate the luck of people. It's actually a pretty decent power, giving a lot of people bad... | | |
| 1:55am | Skip Beat Ep. 08 - Love Me ++ | | | | Moko's back! YAY! After her last foray into acting, Kyoko has added Ren to her list of people to gain revenge on. She goes back to LME and is given a guide to all the acting classes she'll have to take, but it's very expensive. She runs into Kanae (the black-haired lady from episode 03). To her surprise,... | | |
| 4:52pm | Happy Thanksgiving! | | | | I packed a Thanksgiving bento. XD Because nothing says American holiday like a Japanese lunchbox filled with turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potato, and cranberries. Gotta say I'm thankful for quite a bit. One thing I'm really grateful for is all the support I've gotten on this blog. I'm sorry... |
| 12:01am | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 59 - Heartful Song | | | | What a sweet episode. Kinda a filler, but it was so nice and so worth it. MAN, this was great. Almost makes up for last week's debacle. Plus, it answered one of my very pressing questions about Ikuto. Utau is having her first live since she and Yukari split from Easter. Ever since the split, things have... | | |
| 11:31pm | Skip Beat! Ep. 07 - Ruriko vs. Kyoko II | | | | Late post. -_- Anyway, this was a great episode. Kyoko really shines when she's acting. This episode picks up from the previous episode with Kyoko taking her turn to perform with Ren. When Kyoko kneels on the platform, her ankle begins to hurt even more. The pain is practically unbearable, and Ruriko... | | |
| 9:30pm | Skip Beat! Taiwanese Live Action | | | | The announcement came out a couple days ago, but I am a slow bento. It's been announced that the Skip Beat! manga will be converted into a Taiwanese drama. The two leading roles have been announced. Kyoko will be played by Ariel Lin, who has been in Taiwanese adaptions of Itzura na Kiss and Tokyo Juliet.... | | |
| 1:18am | The bento I packed today (and some sushi) | | | | It's been a busy day, so I haven't had time to watch any new releases. But, I did pack this delicious looking (and tasting) bento. I usually like to spend time planning my bento and making all the different pieces, but since it was a busy day I just composed this one from leftovers and some store-bought... |
| 2:42am | Shugo Chara Doki 58 - I want my twenty minutes back... | | | | Well, as indicated by last week's preview, this episode was utterly and completely useless. Completely. Not even a snippet of plot or subplot to make it worthwhile. Although admittedly, Yoru rapping was pretty funny. Ami decides she hates her parents because they won't buy a dollhouse for her, so she... | | |
| 1:32am | Skip Beat! Ch. 131 - Chiorin's Attack | | | | Blah. Chiorin is so not a threat. Her evil twisty plots don't seem to be going anywhere. Chiorin changes her look to be more mature, knowing that it's not what the director wants. Her plan is to keep missing the direction so that she delays the filming, thus making everyone blame Kyoko for forcing her... | | |
| 1:05am | Skip Beat Ep. 06 - Ruriko vs. Kyoko | | | | Things really start getting good now that Kyoko's actually doing some acting. Oh, and of course more Ren x Kyoko scenes are made of WIN. Ren carries Kyoko to the filming set princess-style, which sets Ruriko off. Ruriko tries to flirt with Ren, but he repels her with an insincere smile saying that he... | | |
