| 3:20pm | Clannad Wallpapers 3 | | | | Sometimes I think my subconscious is smarter then I am. Yesterday, I had the urge to make new Clannad wallpapers so I looked at what I had saved, realized there was a bunch of nice scans that I could use and whipped some up. Today, I wake up and think to myself that I should have done something for... | | |
| 1:40pm | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Phantom ~Requiem of Phantom~ | | | | I believe this’ll be the last full spring anime impression post that I’ll do; there’s a few series that I’ve watched but don’t feel like writing whole posts about. Expect these along with more thoughts about the season as a whole soon.I’ve been holding off on this title because while I’ve... |
| 2:55pm | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Natsu no Arashi | | | | The latest work by Shaft, Natsu no Arashi, seems to have incurred two strikes against it before it even aired. The first is the source material comes from the creator of School Rumble. I haven’t seen this show to judge for myself but I’ve come across a lot of anger over it’s “lame ending”... | | |
| 2:45pm | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Ristorante Paradiso | | | | One of the bigger questions of the spring season was how Ristorante Paradiso would turn out. Frequent readers of The Null Set have, most likely, realized that one of my favorite genres of anime is the slice-of-life show. Tell me Hal Film Makers or Brains Base is doing a new slice-of-life show and you... | | |
| 4:40am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Hatsukoi Limited | | | | In my preview I noted that, though J.C. Staff has a very scattered record of late, they often do a good job with school-centered series that don’t involve fighting. (Toradora, Potemayo, Honey and Clover being examples of shows without fighting and Shana, Zero’s Familiar, and To Aru Majutsu no Index... | | |
| 4:26am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Valkyria Chronicles | | | | It might appear that I’ve fallen very far behind in doing my spring anime impressions but I haven’t – it’s all going according to the plan. Rereading some of my old impression posts, I realized sometimes how lost I was in figuring out the series based on only one episode. Therefore, I decided,... | | |
| 1:02pm | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Tears to Tiara | | | | By my count, I only have seven more spring shows that still need a first impressions post written after this one and I think this is the last fantasy hack-n-slash anime for the season. Tears to Tiara is a visual novel adaptation with the source material created by the same people that did Utawarerumono... | | |
| 10:29pm | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Pandora Hearts | | | | Even after watching the first 3 episodes of Pandora Hearts, I keep expecting to see a Keyblade wielding protagonist in this anime. I don’t know if I should disappointed that the closest thing is a shape shifting girl named Alice, who can transform into a very intimidating rabbit, or should I be happy... | | |
| 3:18am | Dissecting Why I Think K-ON! Is Funny Using Episode 3 | | | | I’m going to try something different here; I’m going to record every scene that I find funny in episode 3 of K-ON! Hopefully, this will lead to some insight as to why I like this series so much or, more likely, make people realize how messed up my sense of humor is. I am watching this my seventeen... |
| 5:07am | Eden of the East – Impressions and Plot Conjectures | | | | Continuing with my spring 2009 anime impression posts is the latest work by the director of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Seirei no Morbito, Kenji Kamiyama – East of Eden. As an original work, it’s impossible to accurately gauge the quality of East of Eden before it aired but from... | | |
| 5:59am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Hayate the Combat Butler Season 2 | | | | While the first season of Hayate wasn’t perfect, it was memorable enough that I’ve missed it since it finished up a year ago. Maybe the saying about absence making the heart fonder has some truth to it because when I heard news of a second season, I did a little jig. Another reason that made me... | | |
| 5:33am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Slap-Up Party -Arad Senki- | | | | This title is first show of the season that I decided to watch after the season started. I noticed a few people talking about it and the character designs looked interesting so I figured why not. It comes from Gonzo so I figured I’d give it a go and see if Gonzo could get lucky with this title.Rating:... | | |
| 5:12am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – K-ON! | | | | I know just about everyone else in the anime blogosphere has already talked about KyoAni’s latest – K-ON!; it’s even gotten Jeff Lawson (still one of my favorite bloggers) to comment on it. Therefore, I probably can’t contribute anything groundbreaking to the discussion – I’ve never been... | | |
| 6:36am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Shangri-La | | | | I like to be upfront with the readers of The null set when some issue might intrude when reviewing anime. In this case, I don’t believe in human directed global warming and because this is part of the scenario behind Shangri-La, it might be impossible to like this show even when I really want to keep... | | |
