| 2:06pm | I watched Chu2koi and with only one Eye (The Experiment Series) | | | | > Minus one eye. Sure, why don’t you?Imagine that, you now temporarily can only see through one eye and only eye alone. What do you do as of that moment, aside from being troubled by the hypothetical idea of such abrupt imposition on your sense of sight, questioning what brought such request,... | | |

| 9:36pm | Seton Animal Chronicles: Bannertail, the Story of a Gray Squirrel | | | | I talked about Nippon Animation's Jacky the Bearcub before. It was a 26-episode show about a bearcub raised by a native american boy in the Sierra Nevadas at the end of the 19th century. It aired June 7 to December 6, 1977. Despite being neglected compared with its more famous World Masterpiece Theater... | | |
| 12:00pm | Series Review – Aria the Natural | | | | Aria the NATURAL (アリア) Right off the bat I’d like to note that this show is definitely not for everybody. The Aria series as a whole is extremely slow paced, and while it does a great job at creating an incredibly ambient, calming atmosphere, at the same time I can easily see people... | | |
| 12:00am | The Purpose of Anime and Manga (Part I) | | | | …is entertainment, I got it. However, it isn’t always as simple. There are complexities and nuances to the experience of watching anime and reading manga that, even if it arrives at an entertaining end, accomplishes (or can accomplish, at least) a few other things. Stories in general are entry points... | | |
| 12:00am | The Frontier of Taste 2010 (Picks of the Year) | | | | I don’t plan of making a habit for posts like these, but for now I’m just going to have fun with it since I want to document precisely how I see the shows I’ve seen that aired this 2010. I don’t read enough manga to make a comparable list, so I won’t include them. Also, I probably watched... | | |
| 12:10am | The Best Anime Experiences Shared with the Best Person to Share Them With | | | | It’s been a difficult year for me and my family, for many reasons I won’t say here. But there is much to be thankful for, especially the health of our precious daughter. Today my wife and I have been married for four years. We’re past our long honeymoon and are now at the time when living well... | | |
| 11:19am | Aria the Origination Review - 85/100 | | | | The first half of Aria the Origination is pretty much the same as Aria the Natural, perhaps with a bit more focus on the characters and a little less on the setting. It was pretty much as good as it always was, but I still was left wondering why this series was held with such a high regard. Then... | | |
| 1:56pm | Aria the Natural Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Watching Aria the Natural was a challenge. Seriously, watching it (especially its first half) was a unique experience in trying to not doze off while still paying attention to the dialogue. I was nearly put to sleep by how calming the storytelling is here; that’s usually a really big insult!... | | |
| 9:11pm | Five games I want to play in the next few months | | | | I have a ton of games to play but essentially I am a collector which will buy any game, but only play the games that I really feel like playing. These are the top 5 games I’ve been thinking about lately. I didn’t notice till after I put this together but I like how this list mainly consists... | | |
| 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... | | |
