| 9:35pm | Allison to Lillia - 06 | | | | So, this series is never going to become a classic; it’s a bit too sloppy for that (remember that girl from the last episode? Well, she happens to be a princess). Still, it knows how to tell a story and it’s got a charming cast. That’s enough for me. :) This episode concludes the... | | |
| 1:58am | Advisory | | | | The good news: Not only can I walk (albeit slowly, and with a cane), but as of today I can ride my bike again. The bad news: Posting here will continue to be spasmodic. I plan to walk and bike as much as possible for the next several weeks to regain strength and flexibility. Other recreations, including... | | |
| 10:29pm | Allison and Lillia - 04: Featuring Planes that Fly Backward | | | | The propeller is on top, but which direction do you think it is going?And that’s about as much content as there is since the first episode of Allison and Lillia.I can’t believe the fourth episode is the end of this arc of the story. It started strong in the first episode, prompting interesting—even... | | |
| 9:00pm | Allison to Lillia 04: Ace of Aces |  | | | Nuts, I wanted you to buzz the tower That was one of the better dogfights I have seen in a while. It may not be as flashy as those in Macross F but both Allison and Benedict flew magnificently and displayed their fighter pilot prowess. More on that later, but I am surprised that they decide to wrap up... | | |
| 8:07am | Allison to Lillia - 05 | | | | With this episode, I guess that we’ve reached the second novel of the original “Allison”-series. It does worry me a bit that the creators are trying to stuff 10 volumes of light-novel material into just twenty-six episodes (For the sake of comparison: Soul Eater with its 11 volumes... | | |
| 7:56am | Allison to Lillia 4 | | | | Peeping Tom Picking up from last episode, Lieutenant Love Letter, I mean Ker, easily catches up to Allison and Wil. After a brief exchange of words, their dogfight begins. Allison manages to outsmart Ker, however, pulling a mid-air stall, which forces Ker into Allison's sights. She then proceeds... | | |
| 1:52pm | April Summary | | | | So, most series have had four episodes aired now. So far, the season is looking quite promising, with many good series that have debuted. I’ve been noticing an on-going trend though, about how much more 13 episode-series appear. It’s a shame, because a lot of these series could have easily been... | | |
| 7:10pm | Beginning of Spring Season | | | | or should I say the ultimate yaoi season? This is the probably the best anime season for gay otaku! not even half the shows are watchable by the straight audience and even from them, not even half are not shounen/harem crap. A very disappointing season in general. To sum it up:Yaoi: Himitsu, Junjou... | | |
| 5:09pm | I’m succumbing to the urge of a first impressions post | | | | Ah, I see, Osusu is still having fun fulfilling the prejudices of the “rage of Sasa’s cobloggers”, haha. As for myself, I shall finally write something about anime too. It’s the first time in my multiple years of blogging that I ever wrote a “First impressions” post... | | |
| 2:58am | Revoke that library card | | | | Truth in advertising I finally watched the first episode of Toshokan Sensou, a.k.a. Library War. It looks like my spring viewing will be Kaiba, Allison and Lillia, Real Drive and maybe Kurenai,1 with Soul Eater and perhaps Wagaya no Oinari-sama for essential fluff. But not Toshokan Sensou. I could... | | |

| 2:07am | Allison and Lillia - 03: Can This Show Be Anymore Predictable? | | | | “Sorry old man, but this episode is all about me.”Allison and Lillia Will finds the old man. However, on their breakout the old man sacrifices his life so that they can escape — but not so before he tells them the location of the treasure. On a stolen plane they fly in search | | |
| 5:41pm | Allison to Lillia - 04 | | | | This was definitely the best episode of Allison to Lillia yet. I’m really surprised and impressed by it: I thought that the entire Allison-arc would revolve around the war and the search for the treasure, and yet both storylines get resolved in just one episode. It really makes me wonder what... | | |
