| 3:30am | Brickmuppet on Rocket Girls |  | | | The post is mostly a retelling, but here’s the summary: We live in an age when technology is often portrayed as an implacable enemy of nature and humanity, when our young adults are coddled and infantalized as “mere children” into their late 20s and where great deeds, idealism and... | | |
| 4:01pm | Kurozuka - 07 | | | | Short Synopsis: Kuro is brought to a cave where Kuromitsu is kept. Highlights: Nice little bit of depth for Kuromitsu. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) If I had to pick one show out of the series that I’m blogging this season, where the decision to cover it on a weekly basis may not have... | | |
| 9:57pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 26 (Completed) | | | | It's taken what seems like an eternity, but it's with a heavy heart and some sadness that I come to the end of Allison to Lillia, a series that has brought so much laughter and entertainment to so many of us, with almost all of it having occurred entirely unintentionally.Of course, episode twenty-five... | | |
| 11:20pm | Washi on Allison and Lillia |  | | | The review at Wakaranai hits the right tone in general. It is a good stuff throughout, which pains me to trim (such as the bland directon), but I would like to comment on the adventure part: [] Allison and Lillia pulsates with light-hearted energy and tries diligently to capture the pure spirit of adventure.... | | |
| 3:07am | Allison and Lillia Review ー アリソンとリリア | | | | Rating: The story takes place on a continent where two countries are separated by Lutoni River and Central Mountains. The two countries, the Confederation of Roxche and the United Kingdom of Bezel Iltoa have been at war for over a century and now settled on a cease fire. Allison is... | | |
| 11:25pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 25 | | | | It's been a while since we all last "enjoyed" an episode of Allison to Lillia, even if it is with a heavy heart that I have to remember that this is the series penultimate episode. It goes by the title "The culprit laughs secretly", although I suspect he isn't the only one having a good giggle.So, last... | | |
| 8:36pm | Out with the old anime, in with the New | | | | FINISHED! * Allison and Lilia - solid B+ adventure * Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - brought out my inner fangirl; late-game cockblocking was a little annoying, but in line with the show’s general demeanor * Itazura na Kiss - This got dull, but I finished it anyway. Needed morelulz. * Special A... | | |
| 9:14pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 24 | | | | Another day, another episode of Allison to Lillia as we draw ever closer to this magnum opus of drug-fuelled insanity. Or something. Anyhow, episode twenty-four brings us "The Great Train Operation", although "The Implausible Train Confusion" seems like a more apt title if you ask me.Of course, after... | | |
| 4:11pm | The trust in bloggers |  | | | The inability of bloggers to break through my filters can be turned around: let’s ask, who could do what to make me notice Nodame? DiGiKerot might’ve done it, but he was poisoned by manga of Nodame, so he did not watch and did not blog it. Well, I’m still not watching Geyass, but I... | | |
| 10:35pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 23 | | | | It's time for another brand new arc of Allison to Lillia, which is in no way, shape or form inspired by an arc we've already seen regarding plots being hatched on long distance trains. Of course not, like a series of this calibre would be reduced to reusing old ideasAnyhow, it's spring break for Lillia... | | |
| 6:36am | Summer '08 Season Review | | | | In general the shows that were completed during the summer season were very weak. With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices. Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:... | | |
| 7:38pm | Allison and Lillia - Final Impressions |  | | | I absolutely loved this series. There were so many things that were just great about it I found. There were almost two separate stories, while at the same time being very connect. It’s hard to explain that exactly, although they had this big connection and the characters from the first part played... | | |
| 2:53am | Concrete Badger on Allison and Lillia, again |  | | | Martin explains why I was unable to see through ep.7, by the way of looking back from the vantage point of the second season: The [new season’s] adventures may centre around two different protagonists (the son and daughter of those in the first half) but everything else about it, both good and... | | |
| 10:20pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 22 | | | | Hurrah! At last the kidnapping story arc (which has at least been less ridiculous than much of the other fare this series has fed us) of Allison to Lillia is over, and without another mention of dynamite-proof brick kitchens in sight. This progression must also be taking us towards some kind of final... | | |
| 5:16pm | Allison to Lillia and the Nice Flying Boat arc: why am I still watching this? | | | | If you can’t make a good job of something, it seems there is some dignity in being consistent about it: as the series enters its second half with a number of new characters, Allison to Lillia is proving to be consistently laughable in its ridiculousness. The adventures may centre around two different... | | |
