| 7:24am | Shin Mazinger site opens, title gets even longer | | | | http://www.shin-mazinger.com/ It’s now up to “Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen on televison” and hopefully will stay that way. The bit of art on the website looks great, being 70s and modern while not being all 2000s and round-looking. There’s something wrong with Sayaka, though.... |
| 1:00am | Gensokyo Yakyuu Shoujo | | | | I saw Evirus’s post on Taishou Baseball Girls, about a girls’ school in 1925 which starts a baseball team because they heard about it on the radio, or something.

| 6:52am | Dear America: Learn to Offkai | | | | Hey, reader, this doesn’t have much to do with the rest of this blog, but hear me out for a second. The other day, I went to a doujin fair; you know, like Comiket? Well anyways, there were an insane number of people there acting fairly normal. Then I looked in the guidebook, and it said “no... | | |
| 5:39am | A question about bad anime | | | | If you’re some kind of nerd who goes to anime conventions, and you’re in the Southeast, you’ve probably seen a bad anime panel run by Daryl or a poser. They’re full of high quality insane sexist gekiga/action OVAs full of peoples’ heads exploding all over the place. But... |
| 1:51pm | Manga Review: Film wa Ikiteiru (Tezuka, 1958) | | | | I wrote my last batch of manga reviews the night after starting my new WoW account, so I figured it’d only be appropriate to do a new batch now that I’m 80!
