| 2:04pm | May Summary | | | | I noticed that this season, there are a lot of really good 13-episode series. Much more than usual. This trend seems to become more and more popular. In some cases, it’s unfortunate, because some series would be able to show their potential even more with 26 episodes. #23 (16) - Allison to Lillia... | | |
| 7:52am | [anime] mid-season review | | | | So most of the series airing at the moment are up to their 7th or 8th episodes - TIME FOR A MASS REVIEW! I shy away from weekly or episodic reviews because everyone and their mothers are doing them - plus my anime watching habits don’t really suit that sort of reviewing schedule. [Macross F]... | | |

| 6:57pm | Allison to Lillia - 08 | | | | Okay, that’s it. I’m dropping this series. I’ve had enough, the climax of this episode was just painful to watch. I’ll still continue watching this series for the Lillia-storyline, but I don’t want to blog this series anymore. Owen Nicht is cornered. He’s about... | | |
| 10:01pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 7 | | | | We're now over half a dozen episodes in to Allison to Lillia, but to be quite honest I find it near-impossible to be objective about the series now, such is the way that it has wormed its way into my subconscious as a figure of fun. It's an odd thing sometimes how a completely average series can often... | | |
| 8:35pm | Spring anime, about halfway | | | | I’m watching too much anime this Spring, but it seems to be really good. I particularly look forward to: Code Geass, Vampire Knight, Daughter of 20 Faces I am also watching the somewhat entertaining: Oinari-sama, Zettai Karen Children, Allison and Lilia, Itazura na Kiss And for some fucking reason... | | |

| 12:47pm | It’s time to leave THAT… for a while |  | | | I guess I am not loved because I am an international user? I guess I am not welcome? Anyway, by the time you see this entry, I am already at the airport, flying off for my business trip for the 8th World Media Economics and Management Conference . So, I hope that the blog doesn’t burn down by... | | |
| 8:28pm | Six episodes deep in Allison and Lillia | | | | I really like this series. The characters are likeable and their interaction nice to watch, the comedic elements are fun and getting some neat animated aerial action is a big bonus. But because of this, this series obvious and just oh too common flaws are especially irritating. For example, the conclusion... | | |
| 8:09pm | Allison to Lillia - 07 | | | | Oh, just great. I’m losing interest in this series, as much as I hate to admit it. It’s not the only series that started out rather unbelievable this season. Heck, Nijuu Mensou no Musume had a far worse start, but at least that one has been showing potential. At this point, the sense of... | | |
| 10:39pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 6 | | | | It's virtually by special request that I've sat down to collect my thoughts around Allison to Lillia's sixth episode, in the full expectation that I'll be able to attack it with the same venom as I have previous episodes. It almost goes without saying that it doesn't disappoint in its mix of incredibly... | | |
| 4:16pm | Another update | | | | Apologies for the long period of silence. I’ve been recovering from a nasty bout of paranoia when I believed I was being watched by a spectral being, and that people were trying to read my mind. Sounds silly, yes, but it’s true. Either way, I’m feeling better now. A few thing: There... | | |
| 10:33pm | Allison to Lillia: the treasure hunting arc | | | | The structure of this series has taken me by surprise a little since our two young heroes wind up ending a war within an hour and a half of screen time - not bad going by anyone’s standards. I guess this means that we’ll be treated to a number of short arcs like this shown consecutively... | | |
