| 5:54pm | Weekly Anime Review (Nov 2 – Nov 8) | | | | Diet warriors attack!!The big news in anime this week, at least to me, is that it appears KyoAni’s next series will be a Munto series that expands and retells the OVA. I haven’t seen Munto but I have an excellent AMV downloaded called “Sunlight” by Premonition Studios that uses Munto and makes... | | |
| 12:12am | FLCL Series Review | | | | The final series review I’m doing right now is for the Gainax classic – FLCL. This was one of the few animes that I first saw in English and then in Japanese but probably is the only anime that I enjoy either version just as much.Final Series Score: 12/12 Rewatchablity: med-high Pros: Crazy chaos... | | |
| 11:09pm | AIR Series Review | | | | In preparation for KyoAni’s version of Kanon back in 2006, I decided to catch their earlier adaptation of another of Key’s works – Air. I knew Kanon featured “sad girls in the snow” but I had no clue what Air was going to be about.Final Series Score: 12/12 Rewatchablity: med-high Pros: The... | | |
| 10:12pm | Lucky Star Series Review | | | | I’ve mentioned before that I watch anime with my sister nightly. We watch a bunch of series that are current (currently Soul Eater, Index, Clannad, Shikabanehime: Aka) but on nights that we have nothing new, we go through a series that we’ve already seen. This has allowed me to rewatch a few series... | | |
| 7:43am | Weekly Anime Review (Oct 26 – Nov 1) | | | | I think one of the great things about watching anime is that each season offers different types of shows. I am, personally, surprised by many of the shows that are my favorites of the season. Which just strengthens my conviction that it’s important to keep an open mind when trying to pick anime to... | | |
| 6:57am | Book Review: American Gods by Neil Gaiman | | | | As much as I enjoy watching anime, nothing beats losing oneself in a good book. I’ve been an avid reader since learning how to in first grade and at all times I am reading at least one book. Recently, the anime Earl and Fairy showed the main character leaving a saucer of milk out for the fairies of... |
| 10:17pm | Saimoe 2008 - Epic final battle between the Hiiragi twins | | | | Well, the final battle of Saimoe is upon us and after the bloodshed and carnage we’re left with the Hiiragi twins, Kagami and Tsukasa, to battle it out. I predicted a Kagami win at the beginning but never in my wildest imagination did I think her final opponent would be her twin sister. Kagami... | | |
| 7:43am | Happy Halloween!! | | | | Hope everyone that celebrates Halloween has a Happy Halloween today. I was planning on posting some Halloween-themed anime pics but there’s not many and I’ve seen them posted already in a bunch of places so instead I’m going to show how my house was decorated for the season. Here’s... |
| 5:00am | Weekly Anime Review (Oct 19 - 25) | | | | Massive amounts of anime was watched this week by me and I still feel like I’ve not watched enough of the series because I’m skipping sequels to shows that I haven’t seen the previous season of. As a side effect of rating so much anime at this concentrated rate, I’m finding it easier to see... | | |
| 6:56am | Yokohama Shopping Trip – Best Manga Ever | | | | Today I got my hands on the soundtrack to Somedays Dreamer’s Season 2 and as I was playing this most awesome cd, I started wondering if music made for a slice-off-life anime would sound good while reading slice-of-life manga. To test this hypothesis out I opened up my scanlation of Yokohama Shopping... |
| 3:06am | Toradora Wallpapers | | | | It’s around those times that I don’t feel like writing when the desire to make new anime wallpapers springs up. This time I felt like making a few wallpapers to the new anime Toradora. I was able to keep the number of different versions down this time. Like always, click on the thumbnails... | | |
| 7:15am | Wagaya no Oinari-sama Series Review | | | | This was a title that I decided to watch on a whim, with the thought that I’d probably drop it in a few episodes because it was probably harem-esque, boring, and generic. Give the show all the rope it needs to hang itself, as the saying goes. Since, I’m writing the series review, though, you can... | | |
| 6:34am | Maid Guy Series Review | | | | Can one person/character carry a show? The answer is normally no but the possibility exists – look at the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, as an example. I mention this because the series that’s being reviewed, Maid Guy, is reliant on how well one character can shoulder the burden of making this... |
| 7:27am | Fall Anime Impressions – Meta Post | | | | Since my fall anime impressions were spread out over the past few weeks I thought it would be a good idea to combine the scores all in on place (and sort by their score) and link back to the individual entries so in case you missed one you could find it easier. Plus give any final thoughts on the beginning... | | |
| 6:56am | Fall Anime Impressions – Hakushaku to Yousei (Earl and Fairy) | | | | I believe this was one of the first of the season’s anime to air and one of the last to get fansubbed. That probably means something, but I don’t know what. This is another shoujo show but I enjoyed Skip Beat so I popped this one in with only a little trepidation.Rating: 9/12 A-Earl and Fairy showed... | | |
