| 10:44pm | AMV Watch - Bond-Intro Style: Property of a Lady | | | | AMV.org LinkCreator(s):Le ChiffreTitle: Property of a LadyPremiered: 2009-08-19And now for something completely different: An AMV bond-opening style, combining glimpses of Noir, Cowboy Bebop, CANAAN and Eva with the stylised polish expected from a James Bond intro. It’s technically very well done,... | | |
| 12:23am | Comiket Biri-Biri Goodness | | | | Comiket always brings with it a whole host of wonders, but this time I was particularly impressed by the official offerings at the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun booth, which included a really great PV, a humorous comiket-themed gag manga page and a spicy Misaka/Biri-biri ero hug-pillow. This tantalising imagery... |
| 7:21am | Upcoming Anime: Darker than Black II | | | | This is an upcoming anime that shouldn’t need a lot of introduction. Unless you’ve taken a vow of abstinence from the online animesphere for the last few years, you should have either seen it or heard about it. BONES poured in a substantive quantum of money in order to bring this original (and by... | | |
| 11:54am | CANAAN 07 | | | | 07:「Gravestone」 Rating: Well there was very little love and far less peace in this decidedly high-tension episode of TYPE MOON’s action-thriller, CANAAN. Despite the episode veering pretty quickly off the heading I expecting and hoping it to follow through with. With... | | |
| 9:26am | Upcoming Anime: To Aru Kagaku no Railgun | | | | I’ve been eagerly anticipating To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, (or A Certain Scientific Railgun, depending on your tolerance for stupid-sounding title translations) for quite a while now. I wouldn’t call myself a big Index fan, but thankfully a fiery and semi-tsundere supporting character by the name... |

| 1:26pm | Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou 5 | | | | 06:「jump off into never-never land」 Rating: Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou continues to firmly tread the path of mediocrity. I freely admit to deriving quite a bit of entertainment from the first three episodes, as far as a casual anime like this goes, but now that the series... | | |
| 8:12am | NEEDLESS 6 | | | | 06:「ゴルディロッ クス」 Rating: If, as the common saying describes, anime is a drug, then NEEDLESS is about as close to an overdose as you can get. It’s name is apt, as, every episode it packs in entertainment well beyond the legal limit in the form those anime... | | |
| 11:18am | CANAAN 06 | | | | 06:「LOVE & PIECE」 Rating: Usurping the poignant and fanservicey tones of last episode is a return to action-packed thriller mode, with even more bite than the first handful of episodes. We appear to be entering what will either be a long stretch of a climax or a... | | |
| 8:14am | Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 260 | | | | Apologies for missing out on the post for the previous chapter - assignment due dates interfered. It’s a shame because it was a great chapter, certainly one of the fanservice highlights in a while with all the nopan antics. Luckily, this chapter is even better!With all the fun and emotion crammed... | | |

This particular novel series is lucky enough to receive the honour of being adapted by the creative and unpredictable studio Manglobe. I’ve always found Manglobe’s works... |
| 11:59am | AMV Watch - Various (genreless?) - Hello World | | | | AMV.org LinkCreator(s):Oro$hiTitle: Hello WorldPremiered: 2009-08-01It’s been a while since I’ve found something worth posting in terms of AMVs. As soon as the music faded in it felt instantly familiar and I quickly realised it’s the opening track for Satoshi Kon’s Paprika, and... |
| 8:53am | Umineko no Naku Koro ni 06 | | | | 06: 「Episode II-I middle game」 Rating: Neatly setting aside the tumult and confusion of last week, this fills a pre-arc gap with some riveting character development and a few juicy explanations of how Beatrice has manipulated things from behind the scenes. This was a... | | |
| 4:52am | Sora no Otoshimono | | | | Based on a popular manga title currently serialised in Shounen Ace with 3 volumes currently released, Sora no Otoshimono is a fanservice-comedy shounen receiving an anime adaptation this October.
