I hope everyone is enjoying the time off, because I have none -_- (damn Bar review). Regardless, enjoy our seasonal preview, the format is the same as last time. Much of this info is pulled from Fansub Wiki,... | | |
| 12:15am | Page Thirty Nine Snowy White Sails |  | | | Introducing The Dreamspeaker and Reina, Vicereine of Kulnas“This is a super-important update because we added a character page for one of the most super-important people in the whole LadyStar story!

| 1:32pm | e3 Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 PV | | | | Looks like this revision of the game is set to make me want to play with Ryu, Rachael and Ayane on the PS3 again. 1UP has a nice interview with producer, Yousuke Hayashi here.Posted in Games, Playstation Tagged: e3 2009, ninja gaiden, ps3, tecmo | | |
| 6:30pm | Page Thirty Eight It Moved! |  | | | Introducing The Dreamspeaker and Reina, Vicereine of Kulnas“This is a super-important update because we added a character page for one of the most super-important people in the whole LadyStar story! Her name is Reina and she knows everything about magic and fighting. Sometimes people think... | | |
| 8:59am | Sufoki - New Blogger In Da House | | | | Jesus159159159, who’s been a lurker on several anime blogs over the years, has finally decided to set up shop for himself it seems. This is a good thing, since he’s probably written enough in comments on other blogs to be equivalent to two years otoshidama multiple Owen-caliber blog posts... | | |
| 7:12pm | More light novels, less 4-komas/KEY for KyoAni | | | | At least that’s the knee-jerk conclusion I came to after completing a thoroughly immersing Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody (Haruhi 2). Not my full sentiments but they underscore some KEY reasons (pun intended) why the last KyoAni production I enjoyed was Kanon (back in 2006). KyoAni has helmed these productions... | | |
| 6:36am | My Love, My Anger, and All of My Fanime [2009]: Part 1 - Panels | | | | Starting now, ending later: a summary / review of everything and everyone I did at Fanime 2009, for the purposes of entertaining the masses and enlightening future congoers on what I think is a good idea to check out. It’s how I found a couple interesting panels and things to do, myself. There’s... | | |
| 4:35pm | My humble artbook collection | | | | After approximately 2 years and S$2000, I’m proud (though very broke) to present my little stash of 33 artbooks. 2008 and 2009 saw me going on a frenzy to acquire my favourite artists work. Things got a LOT worst when I discovered Yahoo Japan Auctions and realised that doujins are within tanuki... | | |
| 3:34am | The Blue Fox Alley goes to Anime Boston 09 for Kalafina Live Concert | | | | Waiting in line.Waiting in line, three hours later I have to admit: I went to Anime Boston with the nasty purpose of observing rabid yaoi fangirls and weird Final Fantasy cosplayers in their natural habitat. But I was disappointed! Though there were some screaming kids (no paddles, sadly to say), the... | | |
| 4:27pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 13 Commentary | | | | For every episode to open peacefully as the theme plays goes to show just what kind of series Aria is. I never really thought about it during the first season, but watching the kids following the cat really underscores it. This is a good episode because it shows Alice’s determination —... | | |
| 9:05pm | Finalizing Fanime Fplans F2009 | | | | Hey everyone. Just a list of all the events I tentatively plan on at least checking out; figured it would make useful planning for when I should schedule the aniblogger meetup. Right now the best choice is perhaps a late lunch on Sunday, after the Visual Novels panel, which ends at 2 PM, at which point... | | |
| 11:00am | Japanator Radio 87 | | | | No, this is not some magical dream you've dreamed 86 times before. It is, in fact, another very real episode of Japanator Radio! This week, new music from Nirgilis, Meg and Vamps, and some older stuff from Maximum the Hormone in the Artist Spotlight. All of this and more can be yours for the low low... | | |
| 4:24pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 12 Commentary | | | | Akari picked the same chime I had my eye on. Definitely a good pick. I figured first thing that Cait Sith was the one sitting inside the café when Akari entered, but isn’t it a bit much with all that she’s seeing? Does Cait Sith want to introduce Akari to the world of cats that much?... | | |
| 11:00am | Album Review: Kalafina - Seventh Heaven | | | | Kalafina is the product of producer and composer Yuki Kajiura, along with a bevvy of vocalists, currently Keiko Kubota, Wakana Ootaki, Maya and Hikaru. Kajiura's massive back catalog is a bit daunting to try and sum up. The highlights? The Xenosaga III OST, the Noir, .hack//Sign and My Hime anime OSTs... | | |
| 3:44am | Animation Quality is QUALITY | | | | I occasionally praise the animation quality of something, but I usually don’t really convey the aesthetics aspect with those statements. I’m not very rigorous about those casual praises either. I do, however, talk about aesthetics separately because I think it’s important. Anime is... | | |
