| 11:00pm | [50] Natsume Yuujin-chou 02: The Utterance of a Name |  | | | ↩[49] Seemingly a continuation of another name theme, this episode starts off with Natsume signing a school document. This consistent metaphor is probably setting up the premise of names as the crucial motif - the consistency can indicate that it’s not randomly put there for style alone (I hope... | | |
| 2:41pm | That Battle Royale - Month of July |  | | | Due to plain laziness to run the data, I only ran it during this month and it’s amusing that it is already three months since our last post like this. As usual, we have the battle royale for July, showing you the authors who are doing well, and those lazy punks that need to work harder (j/k).... | | |
| 7:00am | The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk, RPG Gone Wild |  | | | Game-Based Anime: Hit or Miss? It is not often that a game-based anime embraces its inner game, and for good reason. Many are visibly forced attempts to fashion a second-rate story into a compelling screenplay, which sometimes works, but often not, especially if the director is not allowed enough creative... | | |
| 12:20am | Nogizaka Haruka, Episode 2- Only Took Two Episodes To Show Yaoi |  | | | Comment not required This week Yuuto and Haruka go on a rabu rabu dayto to Akiba. There’s lots of blushing, cheesy romantic lines, big burly Russian men, and of course, gay porn. Her reaction wasn’t quite as amusing as Kagami reading about Gauron and Souske, but it was good enough for... |
| 1:06pm | Boku no Hatsukoi o Kimi ni Sasagu Review - I cried. |  | | | Life is a fragile thing. We often procrastinate and think that something that can be done today can be done tomorrow. Time, to most of us, is an object that is hardly precious since we have so much time that we can afford to lose part of it. However, when time is the one who will govern your life, how... | | |
| 10:35pm | Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode 3 - All’s well that ends well… or not!? |  | | | This episode draws a more solid connection between Takashi’s difficult childhood and his present situation. The connection was a bit unclear at times, but at least we are beginning to get a better sense of how he became the person he is today. What does it feel like to be able to see things that... | | |
| 4:35pm | What happens behind every single season’s preview post? |  | | | This is what happens behind every season’s THAT anime season preview. I was working on the fall season preview (I finished it but we will not post it until 1-2 weeks later when the other writers have their piece on it). This was an actual conversation on Yahoo Messenger with Maipeisu ten minutes... |
| 8:00am | Kannazuki no Miko (redux): the Greatest Love Story Ever Told in Mecha |  | | | So yeah I am lying out of my ass again, given how Macross is a pretty good love story as well, but Kannazuki no Miko does tell one of the better love stories within the mecha genre outside of the Macross Franchise. I am pretty sure that at some point we have been overcome with an inexplicable desire... | | |
| 11:43pm | Itazura na Kiss 15: If you want to be happy for the rest of your life… |  | | | HELL FUCKING YES! It’s not wife beating, it’s a Hawaiian kiss!Well it’s been a long time since my last post on Itazura na Kiss, the problem is not that I don’t enjoy the series, but its just that I am usually at a loss for words to describe the utter joy at watching it. I am trying to... | | |
| 1:41pm | The Koihime Art of War Page 3 - Ma Chao |  | | | And this is supposed to be the gallant and proud warrior, Ma Chao. Okay. As expected, the attention loli whore Zhang Fei (or Rin rin for all you sick freaks who watch this for the loli fanservice) decided that it is way too much for the huge mammalian creatures to dominate the screen. It is a sad thing... | | |
| 6:01am | Blade of the Immortal Ep 1 - “Criminal” |  | | | “I think I forgot to turn off the oven.” I always liked Samurai anime and manga. Feudal Japan was always a great source for good stories, and they helped to the internationalization of the media with works like Ninja Scroll, Lone Wolf and Cub,Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) or Samurai Deeper... | | |
| 10:30pm | To Love-Ru Episode 16 - Idol Status |  | | | This episode involves most of the cast of characters hanging out at a public pool/water park and Run is trying to grab Rito’s attention. Her plans eventually escalate to her trying to become an idol to impress Rito, but things don’t go as well as she wants them to. Summary Rito and the gang... | | |
| 3:52pm | Some little improvements to T.H.A.T |  | | | I am still very jealous. As usual, with the changing of the season, we have updated our current blogging list for summer. I also decided to improve it by providing a link through for each series. Just click on the image in the page, and you can explore all the entries on the specific anime series. In... |
| 8:13pm | Code Geass R2, Episode 15- The World of C |  | | | SDjfdskawrepaoer As expected some of the truth of geass is revealed, although to a lot of us it’s probably not that much of a surprise what C.C.’s wish was. Other than that we got to see Drugzaku struggling with himself, Nunally asserting her authority, and a literal “cliffhanger.” Oh, and... | | |
| 7:03am | Macross Frontier 15: Re-capping Grace-fully |  | | | Now, this is a story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I liked to take a minute Just sit right there I’ll tell you how I became the master of a fleet called Frontier That was one of the best recap episodes I have ever seen, where the usually route is to just give a run down... | | |
