| 10:44am | Itazura na Kiss 16: Were it so easy… |  | | | Man this makes me feel triumphant for some reason. Indeed there is no substitute for victory. So other than Kin-chan acting like a douche it was almost a very momentous episode, but it seems that even the almighty Machiko can be wrong sometimes… Dang I was looking forward to a new addition to the Irie... | | |
| 1:38am | Turn A Gundam: When Tomino Last Laughed |  | | | This is Laura Rola she is a Gundam Pilot (or what the average twat donkey calls a Meister), in fact she is the only pilot of the true good guy Gundam. Suffice to say she is not your typical Gundam pilot. Well given how summer is a slower academic time for me I was able to slip in another series to follow... | | |
| 5:55pm | The Koihime Art of War Page 4 - Ma Chao wants a 2nd episode |  | | | Good thing about bishoujos in an ecchi show: They can always have a loli past. As Ma Chao realizes that she will be written off the script for a while, before they bring her back to the overall picture of sex, debauchery and utter lies of Koihime, she decided that it is time for another Ma Chao-centric... | | |
| 3:14am | Genius Party 7 - Baby Blue |  | | | Genius party is a series of short films by several Japanese directors widely revered as ‘geniuses’ (hence the name). The seventh one is titled Baby Blue, and Shinichirō Watanabe, renowned for his series Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, is the genius director. The brilliant Yoko Kanno,... |
| 4:06pm | [53] Afro Samurai Revisited |  | | | ↩[52] Introduction Perhaps Japan is rather ethnically homogenous, or I am under the impression of such a fact. So then maybe the lack of blacks in slice of life anime is justified not because animators envisage an utopian, ethnically homogenous Japan, but rather, they are correctly portraying the... | | |
| 4:15am | To Love-Ru Episode 17 - Old School Building Horrors |  | | | Yay! It’s Oshizu! Okay enough of that. This episode is based off one of the chapters from the manga where Rito and the gang enter the old school building. After encountering all sorts of spooky stuff, they encounter a friendly ghost by the name of Oshizu, a young girl who died in that area many... | | |
| 11:14pm | Pale Cocoon OVA: Teh buny has landeh on THAT |  | | | Pale Cocoon by Yasuhiro Yoshiura. A 23 minute philisophical science-fiction OVA. Almost every frame is a work of art but the main point of this OVA is to make the audience feel what the characters feel. Hundreds of years have passed since humans have ruined the Earth. Forced to retreat to an artificial... |
| 3:11pm | CLANNAD 24 - Tomoyo or Nagisa? |  | | | The character most prominent in my mind after watching CLANNAD 24 is Tomoya. Is writing for Impz finally having an effect on me? Sure, the episode has made me like Tomoyo more (a lot more, in fact), as she gets more screentime and we well and truly see what she’s like. The art is still as... | | |
| 7:00am | World Destruction Ep 3: Prison Break, WDC style + More pity for the bear |  | | | Look at my butt! And are these handcuffs too large for my size? The first thing we all knew, all three World Destruction Committee members are thrown into jail by a Wolfman miser and his minions. But good to say, our destroyers are attempting prison break, WDC style along with a few friends that are... | | |
| 1:50am | Xam’d: Lost Memories ep 1: “Xam’d at the Dawn of War” |  | | | “What? Do I have something in my face?” Gentlemen, I like BONES. Gentlemen, I like BONES. Gentlemen, I love BONES. Everything that BONES studio did in the past is godly for me (well, all except the plot of Full Metal Alchemist but that’s another story.) I mean, having the BONES logo... | | |
| 10:15pm | Code Geass R2, Episode 16- The United Federation of Nations’ First Resolution |  | | | Most satisfying screenshot of all time This episode has the single best 20 seconds of Geass ever aired, bar none. Watching Kallen pull off a punch combo against Suzaku was so damn satisfying that everyone should watch it on loop like I did. There was like 20 minutes of some other stuff, but it was... | | |
| 1:30pm | Macross Frontier 16: Kaifun Brera Indeed… |  | | | Best feature ever. Take that PSP 40. Oh good grief it looks like Ranka’s chances with Alto-hime keep getting dinged more and more. Looks like Kaifun Brera has finally hit home and will be devastating the RankaxAlto-hime ship. Brera amply demonstrates how much of a Kaifun-class antagonist he is by one... | | |
| 7:01am | The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk, RPG Anime 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... | | |
| 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... | | |
