| 12:00am | Mirai’s turn, degree 180.0 (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 08) | | | | More than anything, this episode marked the 180-degree turn milestone of Mirai’s character. Perhaps it’s self-serving for me to say so since We Remember Love’s posts on Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 have been Mirai-centric, if not entirely a corpus of apologetics for her characterization.... | | |
| 1:41am | How to Date an Idol | | | | So you want to date an idol? The Macross franchise has the idols of mass destruction/galactic salvation (tier/class); and, it would be instructive I feel to see how they were wooed. I submit the examples who are at or close to the peak of their popularity: Sheryl Nome of Macross Frontier, and Lynn... | | |
| 12:00am | For the Love of Robots Don’t Kill Yuuki!!! (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 07) | | | | Finally Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 delivers on it’s teasing. In this episode, we have robots. Awesome, real robots; robots that have real-world applications and are designed with practical sensibilities. They get to do awesome things too, and the show provides us not one, but two audience (ghostlightning)... | | |
| 12:00am | Moé Just Doesn’t Cut it: Macross Frontier 04 (Miss Macross) | | | | In talent(?)-based reality(?) television programs, there is this phenomenon wherein a less-than-talented but cute (contingent to subjective fan|fanbase appeal) contestant gets poor marks, bonus points for when the vicious judge shits all over her — often justified, and that contestant suddenly... | | |
| 12:00am | Unwelcome to the NHK: Light Novel is So Heavy | | | | I just finished reading Welcome to the NHK. It is not a pleasant book. I’m not writing a review, so don’t expect a recommendation either way. Why not? It’s partly because NHK is a deeply personal story. It’s not an autobiography in the strict sense, but the preface, and the... | | |
| 12:00am | The Oversubscription and Bankruptcy of Hope (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 06) | | | | While there were a few things worthy of sustained interest in the episode, and that it still gave me a feeling that it ended sooner than the 20 minutes it lasted, it felt strangely uneventful. Nonetheless, I felt provoked and gave in to some thinking about a favorite piece of disaster literature.... | | |
| 12:00am | Missing: My Moral Compass (Bokurano took it away; I suspect the Dung-Beetle) | | | | I read all of Bokurano in under 18 hours on and off. This is a superlative kind of pain. I realize that I sometimes consume media precisely for this kind of experience. I like how fiction can hurt me this way, and Bokurano hurts. One way to describe the narrative is cruel, in a crafted work this could... | | |
| 12:00am | Valhalla is the Joy of Eternal Battle (Bakemonogatari 06) | | | | Suruga Monkey’ begins, and like the previous episodes, Bakemonogatari starts with the familiar; in this case, Hachikuji Mayoi. This show eases me in by having the characters talk about seemingly random things, though most of the time the conversation is sexually charged nuance, or at least the... | | |

| 11:55pm | The Koromo will show you a bit within her endless sea! | | | | MAHJONG IS FUNNNNN TENPAI SUKI RI WAI WAI ahem. As I was sayingwell, amidst the endless sea of Koromo monologues, she expresses that if she sticks with her gut, she’d win. Well, in ways, she did win even though she lost. Thus came all the KAZOKU stuff, but I think the creators were a bit more... |
