| 4:47pm | Skip Beat! Ep. 02 - Poor Sawara-san ;_; | | | | Kyoko takes her first steps into showbiz in a most unconventional way. With no clue how to go about breaking in, she marches directly to the most well-known talent agency, LME and demands to be accepted as a star. The head agent of the talent division, Sawara, agrees to meet with her. Upon discovering... | | |
| 3:39am | Kuroshitsuji Ep. 02 | | | | Ciel invites fat Hitler, a Chinese pimp, Carmen Sandiego, some guy from from Black Lagoon and a some dude who I can't think of anything snarky to say about over for a pool party. The billiards kind. Meanwhile, the three incompetent servants are chasing some mice around. Sebastian, of course, manages... | | |
| 10:35pm | Shugo Chara Doki 53 - Are we there yet? | | | | So, here's how I imagine the pitch for Shugo Chara Doki went:Random Employee 01: The first season was an entire week ago! We should start the season with a recap episode so viewers will remember what happened.Boss Guy: Good idea, but I'm worried that we don't have enough time in one episode to recap... | | |
| 11:02pm | Ouran Official Funimation Dub | | | | First two episodes are up for free streaming. Itadakimasu~The opening isinteresting. Singing is good, although for some reason it just feels like her voice is a lower pitch. The lyrics are nice too, although I'm so accustomed to the ones I wrote, it's a little jarring. Translation is pretty spotty, but... |
| 1:16am | Chaos;HEAd Ep. 01 - You're always SUPER SPECIAL | | | | Killer lolis? I'm sold! Okay, so they're a bit older than your average loli. But they haven't quite attained yandere level yet. Then again, it's only episode one. It's pretty obvious this was based on a visual novel. Some of the scenes and characters were pulled straight from VN territory. The lead male,... | | |
| 4:43am | Toradora! Ep. 02 - Curse you, irony! | | | | First off, I really like the opening. The song is catchy and a bit frantic, and the imagery is pretty cool. Definitely one of my favorites this season. In this episode, Ryuji and Taiga hatch a series of half-baked plots to get Taiga to hook up with Ryuji's best friend. These plots include sneaky pairing... | | |
| 3:53am | Square Enix developing Brainwave-Controlled Video Games | | | | News courtesy BusinessWire.

NeuroSky develops hardware that measures human brainwaves and transmits corresponding information to a computer. Their latest product, MindSet, is "the first commercially... |
| 9:27pm | To Aru Majutsu no Index Ep. 01 - It's good? | | | | So I wasn't going to watch this, since the description and promo images didn't seem like anything up my alley. But I read some good things about it, so I decided to give it a spin. Color me impressed. The intro was an amusing start, but I was immediately drawn in by the opening. Music by I've never fails... | | |
| 6:25pm | Skip Beat Ep. 01 - YAYAYAYAYAY | | | | Well, this series is my pick of the season, so I'm quite excited that it's finally out. Quick summary: All kids hold an egg in their soul. The egg of their hearts I meanall people have a box in their hearts. A box that can only be unlocked by someone else. Kyoko is an average sweet girl in Tokyo who... | | |
| 6:44am | Kuroshitsuji Ep. 01 - Ooh, Jumanji! | | | | I am so confused. What is this show trying to be? And who the snet is the target audience? For the first thirty seconds, I thought I was watching Princess Tutu. And then it becameI don't know. I thought maybe it was meant to be a comedy. The inadequate house crew, the random old man butler who does nothing... | | |
| 10:39pm | Kannagi Ep. 01 - Crazy Shrine Maiden is Crazy | | | | A little different from the manga. Much more emphasis on Nagi without even showing Aoba's face. Oh well. As a young boy, Jin is standing in front of a sacred tree and grabs a large spider. A strange girl in a shrine maiden's outfit appears behind him. She disappears suddenly, and the spider Jin found... | | |
| 7:34pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 52 - Recap+the next villain is...Lulu? | | | | Recap episode. Dia randomly hatches from her egg for no good reason, and the other guardian charas (plus El and Il) bring her up to speed on everything that happened in the first season. ::disappointment:: The preview tricked me into thinking there'd be some nice stuff going down. I was all OH SNET DIA!... | | |
| 9:58pm | Tentai Senshi Sunred Ep. 01 - O_o | | | | This show is so random. It's only thirteen minutes long, and is a collection of short stories about the daily loves of Sunred and a plethora of random villains. Sunred is a "typical" sentai superhero and he has plenty of villains living in dark lairs (or small apartments) chasing after him to do dastardly... | | |
| 9:32pm | Peacock Snack Chips D: | | | | Today I found one of the must disturbing and puzzling bits of food packaging artwork I've seen in awhile. Peacock brand snacks. The packaging shows a bunch of guys take off their clothes in a laundromat, much to the chagrin of the girls there. One even threatens to strip aaaaall the way down. I regrettably... |
| 11:44pm | Yozakura Quartet Ep. 01 - I'm not sure what to think? | | | | I'm not exactly sure what I just watched, but I don't think it was Yozakura Quartet. Admittedly, I've only read one chapter of the manga, but already there are lot of things that are different. The three lead females are relatively unchanged, but the lead male who is supposed to be just a normal dude... | | |
