| 7:33am | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Sora no Manimani | | | | I’m slowly chipping away at the pile of summer shows I still need to review and the latest is the slice-of-school-life, light comedy Sora no Manimani.I haven’t heard much chatter about this show but that’s probably to be expected since it doesn’t involve late-bloomer crazy virgins or massive... | | |
| 3:29am | Kemono no Souja Erin – I Take Back All The Bad Things I Said About It | | | | Sometimes I’d really like to figure out how my brain works because every now-and-again it does the oddest thing. This time I was minding my own business last week when I suddenly had the urge to start trying to catch up on the backlog I had with Kemono no Souja Erin. The last episode I had watched... | | |
| 7:16am | Haruhi Mad-Lib Results | | | | Because I don't like posting things without a top image Thanks for the responses. All the results where pretty funny and now it’s time to share. This conversation is from the point of Endless Eight where Mikuru relates how she knows that they’re stuck in a time loop. The spots I asked... |
| 7:14pm | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – CANAAN | | | | A couple of months ago I finally got around to watching PA Works’ first and only other work – True Tears. It definitely was a very pretty anime to look at but I never connected with the characters so it ultimately left me cold. With CANAAN, I was hoping for a better result since I hate to see good... | | |
| 9:34pm | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! | | | | I don’t normally bother to write impression posts for the really lousy anime of the season since spending time on them is much better then they’re worth. The same would be the case for this show and after two episodes I decided not to write about this show but in a moment of weakness I decided to... | | |
| 7:24am | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Bakemonogatari | | | | The second new series of the season brought to us by the SHAFT/Shinbo team is Bakemonogatari which apparently literally translates to “monster stories” but to mimic the wordplay of the Japanese title it’s being translated as “Ghostory”. I didn’t know how it would compare to Sayonara Zetsubou... | | |
| 10:58pm | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Taishou Yakyuu Musume | | | | Samurais make good baseball players.The first time I became aware of the existence of this show was from a trailer I saw back during the winter season. Something about the show instantly made me want to watch it and as a result I was disappointed when I found out that I’d have to wait till the summer... | | |
| 1:44am | What’s Even More Unbelievable Then Going Through A Time Loop 15,513 Times | | | | This recently released map is meant to show how far from average the continental US was from the average June. These maps are released by the NOAA – a federal agency – monthly and are just one of the many things there in charge of. Why am I bothering to write a post up about this map... | | |
| 10:54pm | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Umi Monogatari (Sea Story) | | | | I’ll remind readers that as of last season, I started to hold off on doing anime impression posts until I saw at least a couple of episodes because I wanted a more accurate representation of the show and oftentimes one episode isn’t enough. This might put these posts a week or two behind other blogs... | | |
| 7:30am | One Import From Japan I Could Do Without | | | | I didn't want to upset anyone so I left them looking small, click on the pic to see them up close. A couple of days ago, I walked outside and saw a bunch of very unwelcome guests on my Clematis vine – Japanese beetles. As you could probably guess from their name, they’re originally... |
| 7:05am | Top Seven Anime of the Spring 2009 Season | | | | The final part of my look at the best of the spring season is the countdown of the best titles of the season. This is always a difficult process since I enjoy so many different types of shows and there’s no clear-cut way of comparing a slice-of-life show to a shounen action show to a thought provoking... | | |
| 7:18am | Top Picks – Spring 2009 Anime, Part 3: VMA Awards | | | | The final set of awards before going to my top shows of the season cover the music, vocal actors, and animation aspects of this season’s anime. Or the three parts to anime that are heavily dependent on the preferences of the individual viewer. The reason I put these awards third is that in the... | | |
