| 12:00am | Anime for the Whole Family?!? Toradora! | | | | Toradora! did something unexpected: it became wholesome family entertainment. Yes, watching anime with the family is possible, even if many or most watch (or prefer to watch) anime by themselves. I remember watching My Neighbor Totoro, and Millenium Actress - just me and my Mama (such lovely times),... | | |
| 12:00am | Almost Famous: Demon-King Takumi of Trapnest (NANA) | | | | What does music mean to you? I ask the man before me. “In a word, Reira.” It’s not easy to get Takumi-san, the Guitarist and principal composer of Trapnest. In journalistic circles he is known to be more ruthless than the most bloodthirsty sharks in the Japanese entertainment press.... | | |

| 12:00am | LISTEN TO MY SONG! VOL. 7: DYNAMITE EXPLOSION | | | | Macross Dynamite 7 is an OVA side story in the Macross franchise, similar to Macross Plus in that it is set entirely in peace time. Totally unlike Macross Plus, Dynamite is outrageously silly - perhaps even sillier and more ridiculous than Macross 7. Fire Bomber returns, but with everyone in the band... |
| 12:00am | Gundam is Much More than the Universal Century, But UC is What I Love | | | | I’m not saying that I don’t like the alternative continuities, far from it. After all, Gundam 00 is my ‘gateway’ Gundam; the first show in the franchise that I really got into after sampling many of its shows from the original Mobile Suit Gundam to Turn A Gundam (It should be... | | |
| 12:00am | Something bugs me about the ‘intervention’ in Toradora! | | | | Something’s not sitting well with me regarding the ‘intervention.’ No I’m not interested in evaluating the standing of Toradora! The show has become notable enough that bloggers and fans have laid out high expectations for it (including myself), that there are those who are... | | |
| 12:00am | 100th Post: The Super Dimensional Journey of Love Remembered | | | | It still feels like I’m starting out, but 100 posts does seem like a lot. We Remember Love has been around for five months now and I’m very happy with the f support, contribution, commentary, and interest that we’ve gotten from everyone. Thank you to all the bloggers who wrote content... | | |
| 9:25pm | The Battle of Narita: Great Battles in Anime History | | | | As long as mankind shall continue to bestow more liberal applause on their destroyers than on their benefactors, the thirst of military glory will ever be the vice of exalted characters.~Edward Gibbon6 Months after the Black Rebellion “Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Gilbert G.P Guilford!”... |
| 12:00am | A Space Vampire Shows a Bit of Character: Sivil from Macross 7 | | | | Sivil is first presented as some kind of mid-level boss (a term I got from my video game-loving husband). The ‘technical’ term for the space vampires of Macross 7 is Protodevlin, and among these space vampires Gigil has been the one doing most of the attacking early on, who piloted a... |
| 12:00am | Steps in Anime Production | | | | I had a few ideas on how an anime is produced, though these were from documentaries of western animation, and my own experience as a production assistant for broadcast and film as well as project management of various kinds. Nonetheless I approached my introduction to anime productions with eyes as... | | |
| 12:00am | LISTEN TO MY SONG VOL. 6: Angel Paints with Voices | | | | I didn’t follow a linear path, but I’ve completed The Super Dimensional Journey of Love Remembered, meaning I’ve seen every single episode in the Macross franchise canon. Since Macross Frontier and Macross 7 have spectacular music, I expected that my favorite song in the franchise... | | |
| 12:00am | Finding the Self in Selfless Love | | | | I enjoy writing about characters, and I’ m always looking for ways to do it differently. Here’s a post format I started doing in Oi Hayaku, where I get to engage the subject characters myself. Here in Tanegashima, I can hear the sea. Despite growing up and living in an archipelago, I... | | |
