| 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... | | |
| 10:17pm | Allison to Lillia - Episode 5 | | | | I'll be the first to confess that I've regularly been giving Allison to Lillia both barrels on this 'Blog, and (I'd like to think) with very good reason - Indeed, were in not for wanting to see how the Lillia arc which will make up the second half of the series pans out, I would almost certainly have... | | |
| 5:51pm | Allison & Lillia- 05 |  | | | This episode marks a beginning of a new arc. Some time has passed since the war officially ended. The winter break is here and Wil is going on a trip (financed by Allison). Of course Allison isn’t that selfless and soon after Wil arrives he’s abducted by people who turn out to be Allison’s... | | |
| 6:00pm | When the sky turned blue | | | | Gone a bit quiet around here, ain’t it? Last update was a couple of weeks ago, so I figured I’d pop-in a quick “Hello, not dead yet”. The truth is that, since finishing Ghost Hound, I’ve not been watching nearly enough (good) anime, so, aside from a few sarcastic paragraphs,... | | |
| 11:08am | I can’t be arsed to write a proper post so read these blogs instead | | | | There are a number of things I could do as a reaction to burn-out (if that’s what I have) but I think recommending new additions to my own feedreader is the most constructive. My answer to everything at the moment is “I can’t be arsed.” Do that post on Kurenai I promised to write?... | | |
| 1:20am | Allison and Lillia - 05: New Adventure | | | | New Adventure of Allison and Lillia Will. Show me Lillia already, damn it!The last arc still left me with a bland taste in the mouth. Episode one started with a promising premise, but the story deflated faster than Allison’s confessions. Well, at least the story keeps trying just like Allison... | | |
