| 1:05am | Winter 2009 Wrap-up: Clannad ~After Story~ & Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th |  | | | The winter season’s been over for a few weeks now, but I’ve only recently finished the shows from the winter season (and some from the fall) that I was watching. I’ve yet to finish Akikan! and RideBack, and I haven’t caught up to the latest episodes of Churuya-san, Haruhi-chan,... | | |
| 2:36pm | Happy Birthday to me - You have reached level 22 | | | | Yeah, so today is my birthday or rather tomorrow if you want to get technical since it isn’t the 14th yet in the States. But it’s the 14th here so that is what is important. I was planning on spending a lot today on gifts for myself but everything I saw made me think to myself, “I... | | |
| 12:00am | Mai Waifu, SHE IS GAR | | | | She agreed to watch Armored Trooper VOTOMS with me. I’ve been meaning to see this show for some time, given it’s reputation as a dark, gritty-as-hell, /m/anly plate of GAR. Yeah sybilant is a Ouran High School Host Club-loving girl who I marathon Aria with, but she saw all 110 episodes... | | |
| 3:59pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 7 Commentary | | | | Akari asks what one would do if they found an unfamiliar entrance on a street they always walk down. I know my answer. Time allowing, I’d definitely check it out. I’m always amazed when I find something I never noticed on a path very familiar to me. I like the focus on Akari putting on... | | |
| 3:34pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 6 Commentary | | | | “Character episodes” have fallen out of favor with me unless they’re done right. At least, for a story-based series with a limited number of episodes. For Aria, the focus is on the characters, and there’s a high enough episode account. Things can still be done wrong, but this... | | |
| 1:47am | Tales of Vesperia comes to PS3, ToG Wii PSP | | | | I can’t believe it that this game is finally coming to PS3 hopefully it will have dual language voices on the Blu-Ray. I do kind of regret getting a XBOX 360 just to play it. Announced from namco bandai is Tales of Grace for Wii and a PSP version Tales of VS which is a fighting game. - http://www.psu.com/Tales-of-Ve... | | |
| 12:00am | Honeymoon in Neo Venezia: Part 2 | | | | Read Part 1The Martian Run We’ve been to Hong Kong a few times, and let me tell you - even Douglas Adams/Dirk Gently will appreciate the Hong Kong International Airport. Inthernet in Venice the Origination, makes an interesting observation about ARIA the Animation episode 4: Ep04 is an anime-original... | | |
| 11:44pm | A Himeya Gondola? | | | | Getting this freebie with my Aria the Natural part 2 DVD set order made me realize something: I’ve taken a lot of notice to the outfits each company wears, and their logos and the like, but I haven’t looked one bit at their gondola designs. I know what I’ll be paying attention to... | | |
| 10:25am | Rin has found something… | | | | Rin found something, and after a bit of struggling she finally managed to cut open the cellotape and pull open the cover flaps. I wonder whats inside Let’s follow Rin in and find out Woop watch out! Ow (O _ O) Are you ok, Rin? Oh it turns out she’s fine. But lookie, she’s pulled... | | |
| 12:26am | 10 Minutes in Italy | | | | Well, if you didn’t see the post before this (10 Minutes in Japan), go ahead and check it out. I wasn’t going to post this one on here since it has nothing to do with Japan really or Anime, but I suppose in a way it does. This is another video of the same length, about 10 minutes, showing... | | |
| 11:38am | This Season Has been One Big Letdown. | | | | Anime that tries and fails is still infinitely more interesting than anime that just sticks to the same old formulas, be it moe-mongering, robo-shouting or power levels. I just completed a marathon of Flag, which is by far the most visually creative and detailed anime I’ve ever seen. As I know... | | |
| 3:12am | Aria the Natural: Episode 5 Commentary | | | | For some series, the half-length episode works. Bottle Fairy and Ground Defense Force! Mao-chan are two good examples. For Aria, I’m not sure I care for it as much. The first half-episode felt overly forced to me. The fox-kid scouting out the inari to take for the wedding seemed a bit overdone.... | | |
| 8:40am | Toradora 25 | | | | Ok, so I’ll say this first, this post is a complete 100% spoiler post. If you haven’t watched 25, clicking Continue Reading will kill all the thrill Toradora ever built up. Hell, if you’re still reading on anyway proceed at your own risk. First of all, I think Yasuko in her non-slut... | | |

We haven’t been married three years! ‘.’;; ghostlightning: Let’s do it while we can! While we’re young! GOGOGO! c’=~_^ sybilant: But where would we go... | | |
| 10:11am | Life in Mai Room | | | | For those of you who don’t know yet, you can click on the picture, and it will enlarge itself. Lately there’s been a wave of boredom coming my way. I started watching Koukaku no Regios and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it and think about whether or not I really want to talk... | | |
