| 10:16am | [Ascaloth] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2009), Episode 8: Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody | | | | The moment has finally arrived. After 3 long years of having their collective expectations raised only to be dashed, of being teased repeatedly and mercilessly with magazine covers and online announcements which all seem to lead nowhere in the end, the Faith Keepers of the original KyoAni otaku phenomenon... | | |
| 5:28pm | Turns Out the Dark Horse of the Season is… | | | | You know how we tend to write off certain shows based on the premise or other attributes, before we even watch it? For example, 07 Ghost might be the new awesomemest show on Earth but because I think it is gay yaoi shit I won’t watch it much. Some people hate harem etc etc. A dark horse is one... | | |
| 4:43pm | [Ascaloth] K-ON!, Episode 7 | | | | Christmas comes early for the girls of the Light Music Club, as they return once again to winter uniforms and cold-season wear. In the spirit of an out-of-season Christmas, sisterly bonds are reaffirmed as the Hirasawa sisters show a glimpse of what their family life is like, as they prepare to host... |
| 7:05pm | A Manga Fan’s View of American Comics | | | | On a whim, I read through 100+ issues of Marvel comics, over 3 days. These were all from the Civil War series, which some of my Marvel-philic friends have been raving about and strongly advised me to read. I must say, they are really misguided if they think these are any good. Now, as an avid reader... | | |
| 3:44pm | [Ascaloth] K-ON!, Episode 6 | | | | The day of the School Festival has arrived, and with it, the first stage performance ever of the revived Light Music Club. Despite starting off as rank amateurs, despite all the cake and the fun in the way, somehow they’ve managed to make it at least this far, with a song at hand to perform for... |
| 5:45am | Eden of the East: What would YOU DO as a Selecao? | | | | Eden of the East is a great anime for both guys and girls, we all know that. Juiz has a sexy voice yeah? Akira is naked yeah? Saki is bimbo and retarded yeah? We know there are 12 Selecao who have been selected to be modern day Jesuses, each equipped with 10 billion yen to do what it takes to save their... |
| 3:17pm | [Ascaloth] K-ON!, Episode 5 | | | | Having conducted what few club activities they have had so far with an uncharacteristically un-Japanese lack of organization, the laxness of the K-On girls have finally come around to bite them; no thanks to the frighteningly irresponsible Club President, the Light Music Club was never officially recognized... | | |
| 5:34am | Death Note American Movie: This is What It Needs | | | | Now, with the impending adaptation of yet another Japanese product to a Hollywood film, many fangirls and boys would be quaking with anger, considering the likes of Dragonball got butchered. However, I actually fully support this Death Note adaptation because of the nature of the series. The Japanese... | | |
| 1:49pm | [Ascaloth] K-ON!, Episode 4 | | | | A lot sooner than expected, it’s already time for the beach episode of K-ON! Yes, the premise of this episode may have been to get in some actual serious practice for the upcoming school festival, but we all know the real draw is the chance to see the girls in their summer glory. And it is summer... | | |
| 10:04am | Why do People Like Saki? WHY?? | | | | Now, it has come to my attention to while people are flaming Shangri-La, many are also praising Saki. Both of these shows are by GONZO. So if people hate GONZO, they should hate Saki right? Apparently not. I fail to understand what these people who like Saki (and who presumably are the people who adore... | | |
| 5:58am | Is Shangri-La Crap? Animebloggers are Crap. | | | | Everyone seems to think so. I’m on the fence at the moment, though I must say it isn’t the worst anime of the season, and probably is about average. There are far worse shows, such as Ghost 07 where pretty boys love each other really hard, and Tayutama, a really bad version of Inari-sama.... |
