| 3:24pm | Which Seiyuu Guest would YOU Want at 2009’s AFA? | | | | Assuming there is a AFA 2009 of course. Hopefully this year it doesn’t fall near university exam dates like last year’s, which resulted in my inability to attend. I hear rumblings coming from AFA insider Darkmirage about how AFA 2009 might have yet another guest seiyuu star, and possibly... | | |
| 10:40am | Otaku are Sensitive People. Even those named after Wild Animals. | | | | Oversensitive, more like. I find it hilarious that certain "bloggers" are ragingly upset over a perceived slight on them by yours truly, for the 3 amazing reasons of: 1. I blog the same shows they do. 2. I corrected their amazingly wrong translation of raw episodes. 3. I include sarcastic... |

| 7:37pm | [Ascaloth] CLANNAD ~After Story~, Episode 14 | | | | Now that they have taken the vow which has engendered one of the greatest changes in their lives, the Okazaki couple are about to face even more changes, and it is these changes which, given enough time, will make the idyllic memories of their halcyon days just that; a memory. As the places where their... | | |
| 6:45pm | Munto is Good but… why He Wear a Bra? | | | | Kyoani’s first original anime, Munto, got its TV airing. Lots of misinformation abound on the web regarding this, some claiming that it’s straight from the OVA. But I think not, the animation quality appears to be quite modern, though the character designs are straight from the 90s. I’m... |
| 6:35pm | [Ascaloth] Trial Run: White Album, Episode 2 | | | | The introductions are over, now let the fun begin! While Yuki and Rina have become bosom buddies within the tough world of the idol industry, that friendship is about to be put to the test with Touya about to be thrown into the mix. Unfortunately, as is all too common with the male leads of the genre... |
| 5:42pm | Ali Project either has Powerful Daddies or Loves to Suck Cock | | | | One of the seven anime mysteries is how in the world does the dreaded Ali Project keep getting all these chances to provide the opening and ending themes for top-tier anime. Ali Project is so bad that even non-anime viewers think they are trash. They ruin the opening of every show their dirty paws have... |
| 6:55pm | Best Show of this Season will be… RIDEBACK DUH. | | | | It’s quite the amazing first episode. This season appears to be some vehicular mecha wankfest, and Rideback is the climax! Featuring two-armed motorcycle mecha that can transform into humanoid forms, the Ridebacks are probably the freshest mecha designs in eons. While the other mecha show Sora... |
| 8:50pm | Chrome Shelled Regios = Bad Fighting with Good Setting | | | | The fighting is really terrible. In the opening sequence, all appeared awesome. Giant bugs attacking a giant mobile futuristic city in a post-apocalyptic setting. People in terror appear to be on their way to kicking the bucket. Then the very next scene was so god-awful that I almost dropped the show... | | |
| 12:28am | Left 4 Dead, Not2Fun, After Playing42long. | | | | I’m a fan of FPS games in general over RTS. I’m a fan of killing human players over killing CPU-controlled bots. Hence I find co-op games quite boring in general, unlike some of my friends who find pleasure in playing Battlefield against 32 bots a la Helm’s Deep. Left4Dead threatened... |
| 7:10pm | Sora wo Kakeru Shoujou: WOW! Mecha IMBA AWESOME. | | | | Looking at just the title and the first 3-4 minutes of the show, one would be misled into thinking this was just a run of the mill harem. I saw the credit line though, "PRODUCED BY SUNRISE", and I immediately deduced that this was not harem, but instead a Mai-Hime-style action ecchi scifi.... | | |
| 6:31pm | [Ascaloth] CLANNAD ~After Story~, Episode 13 | | | | Having a proposal accepted by one’s prospective significant other is one thing; winning the in-laws over to the prospect of separating them from the daughter they have raised for two decades of their own lives is something else altogether. And although Tomoya has the fortune of already being on... | | |
| 5:37pm | Druaga 2: So Good You Wouldn’t Wish Ill Upon Gonzo | | | | Ignoring the retarded views of some other bloggers, Druaga was a good anime. It had good action, and was probably one of the best RPG-ish anime ever made, which is a testament to how difficult that genre is. Tales of the Abyss anime is probably one of the few which is as good. Now, having seen the... | | |
| 2:53pm | [Ascaloth] Trial Run: White Album, Episode 1 | | | | Based on a visual novel published by Leaf dating back all the way to 1998, White Album finally gets an anime adaptation by Seven Arcs a full decade after the first publication of its visual novel source material. While the casting choice of Hirano Aya and Nana Mizuki as the two female leads respectively... | | |
