| 9:07am | ARIA and Me | | | | Like lolikit says, I am a strange person because I seem to have a liking for both Haruhi and Aria. Although I am not sure what seemed to be perceived by him as two shows that are from opposite ends of some metaphorical spectrum, if my love for a show was to be measured by the amount of money I spend... | | |

| 1:00pm | Opening doors to new interests |  | | | Some consider a strength of anime to be the sheer variety in the topics that shows cover. From this summer 2009 season alone, we have anime featuring mahjong, baseball, vampires, witches, butlers, maids, newspaper delivery services, alchemy, and lesbians. Of course, that’s not to say live-action... | | |

The notion of emotional intelligence is pretty much the foundation to understanding adolescent constructions of emotional complexes in the post-Evangelion generation of anime stories.

| 7:00pm | Aria the Natural, Part 2 Anime (English) | | | | Squeezing Yuri from Aria the Natural, Part 2 is like making an essential oil from a rose petal. It's a lot of work, takes a lot of petals and, in the end, what you have is a beautiful, but ephemeral scent. Which is not to say that it's not worth your time. Like a rose, Aria the Natural, has a timeless... | | |
| 9:16pm | Strange Dawn Review - 95/100 | | | | There are some anime out there awesome and then there are the series that go one step beyond.
