| 1:01am | The Best New Manga of the Past Few Years: Beelzebub | | | | Amazingly, I did a quick search on the various anime blogs out there and found that absolutely nobody has blogged on the new manga series, Beelzebub, yet. It’s probably one of the best, if not the best, comedy battle manga I’ve read in years and yes, it’s far better than even M x 0,... | | |
| 11:08am | Bakuman is a metamanga you MUST Read. | | | | People constantly and right talk about the likes of Genshiken as an otaku bible, but the relatively new (started in 2008) manga Bakuman offers an even better perspective.

But as the clock ticks down upon... |
| 11:03pm | Play Persona 4! It’s Addictive. | | | | In recent years, there’s been an increasingly wide division in styles between American and Japanese-made games. On one hand, we have the Halos, Gears of Wars, GTAs, where the main character is some gruff macho man who plunders the sandbox or shoots aliens, and across the Pacific, we have pretty... | | |

| 2:16pm | [Ascaloth] K-ON!, Episode 10 | | | | Though she had come that much closer to understanding just what made the other girls of the Light Music Club tick as one, Azusa continues to wonder just how they could have gotten anything done to begin with, and particularly whether the training camp which she’s going to go for with them for... |
| 5:24pm | Ultra-Level Up in Anime-watching and PS3 Capabilities | | | | Take that! I now own the largest TV in my house and am sitting right in front of it. Now I just need a new computer that can run giant movie files smoothly, since my Thinkpad X61 "Sylvana" can’t really cut it for games and high-res anime. It’s a Samsung 32 inch LCD TV, the model... |

| 9:20am | Valkyria Chronicles is a Great Show! But… | | | | Only if you play the game at the same time. Previously, I thought it was a mediocre-decent show at best with horrid military tactics. But due to good fortune, my brother bought a PS3 and promptly went off to serve his army term, leaving me with it and a copy of Valkyria Chronicles the game. So I started... |
| 6:06pm | [Ascaloth] K-ON!, Episode 8 | | | | A new school year has arrived, it’s time for a new beginning.
