| 3:07am | Allison and Lillia - Allison Arc End |  | | | Wow, that was amazing. I haven’t been doing a post for every episode on this series, but I have been watching it, and I figured a bit arc change would be the perfect time to chime in. This series in general has really surprised me. Not so much about it being different then I thought, but just that... | | |
| 9:32am | July Summary | | | | The summer-season has always been the season of short and varied series, and in 2008, it’s no different. There’s a wide variety of genres in this relatively small season, only horror seems to be missing at first glance. So far, there are a number of potential classics lurking among them. #30 (new)... | | |
| 11:09pm | Allison to Lillia and the train arc: the wedding cake is a lie | | | | After the fun I had at the show’s expense last time maybe it’s surprising that I’m even watching it still, let alone enjoying it. I can’t be arsed with listing all the faults this time though, but the more amusing ones still need highlighting. If laughing your butt off at a sarcastic... | | |
| 9:52pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 15 | | | | A very ordinary fourteenth episode of Allison to Lillia left us with plenty of questions, and the fifteenth instalment is now already here, thus allowing me to answer the most important point of all: Yes, Ker Benedict's facial hair has become more ridiculous since the last episode.Anyhow, despite Will/Travas... | | |
| 10:00pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 14 | | | | I've been incredibly mean to Allison to Lillia for almost the entirety of its Allison arc, mainly due to the fact that it's piled no end of unintentional comic hilarity upon me, a goldmine which I've actually rather enjoyed pillaging to make the most out of an otherwise disastrously poor series.However,... | | |
| 7:22pm | Awesome time-jump is awesome | | | | Allison and Lillia, now in Lillia’s arc, continues to entertain. I tend to like continuations that feature the next generation of characters. Keeps things fresh without sacrificing what’s already occurred. | | |
| 9:38pm | Telepathy Shoujo Ran - 06 | | | | Short Synopsis: The current arc: a “supposedly” haunted hot spring resort. Highlights: Look and watch Midori make an idiot out of herself. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Telepathy Shoujo Ran is obviously not perfect with its lack of subtlety and mysteries that sometimes are a bit far-fetched,... | | |
| 2:00pm | Allison and Lillia - The Allison Arc |  | | | A show that fell under my radar for sometime. Obviously I have picked it up again and I am pleasantly surprised at how the story has turned up.For the first 3-4 episodes or so, the story wasn’t particularly interesting and focuses mainly on introducing the main characters Allison Whittington, Wilhelm... | | |

| 12:18pm | Ultraviolet: Code 044 - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: An intermezzo, without much action, but much character-development and introductions. Highlights: The new characters should prove interesting for the rest of this series. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Okay, so even though this was a quiet episode, it still delivered, as it made perfect... | | |
| 7:48pm | Telepathy Shoujo Ran - 05 | | | | Short Synopsis: There was indeed someone behind the phenomena in the village, but who? Highlights: Huge pacing, and yet nothing was rushed. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Whoa! Since when was this series this good? It’s still got the same problems as before: some plot-twists are a bit too coincidental... | | |

| 3:21am | Fall 2008 looks to continue a good anime year. | | | | This Spring has been rather satisfying with Daughter of 20 Faces, Allison and Lilia, Itazura na Kiss, Special A, Code Geass R2 and others. The Summer, for whatever other faults it might have, will have more School Rumble. And this Fall looks pretty bitchin. Let’s see what we got this Fall *... | | |
| 6:17pm | The Daughter of Twenty Faces halfway thoughts: going solo | | | | Whut? Another Nijuu Mensou no Musume post when I’ve yet to even finish Library Wars? Yep, The Daughter of Twenty Faces takes priority over even that and the new summer season for me right now. For a show that slipped onto the aggregators with barely a murmur, it’s strange to see it right... | | |
| 9:39pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 13 | | | | During the course of this series' Allison arc my complaints, criticisms and all-round reasons for merry-making at the expense of the show have been many and varied. However, I have to say that I can't recall an episode of anime that has left me shouting at my laptop screen for almost an entire half-hour... | | |
