| 2:26am | Now That’s Just Damn Creative / Random D-baggery |  | | | Tortoise Fansubs, you guys are geniuses, I give you credit. You wanted to do something original and you sure did: they subbed an Aria drama cd. First, they’re awesome because it was an Aria drama cd. Second, it was a drama cd. I never even thought of that. NEVER did I think that drama cds could... | | |
| 6:12pm | Mizunashi Mode - Day 0 |  | | | Starting tomorrow (August 1), lolikitsune and I will begin an experiment based on Aria’s Akari Mizunashi. Akari Mizunashi how do you describe her in words? She’s kindness, care, love, beauty, cheerfulness, friendliness, all bundled up in one mysterious girl. Akari is a most wonderful girl... | | |

| 11:00am | Aria the Origination - 5.5 | | | | Turn back the clock, put those gloves back on, and call Alicia out of retirement. Bonus episode 4tw! Just a few days ago my Aria withdrawals hit a major low after listing to ROUND TABLE featuring Nino’s new single that had their rendition of Symphony on it. I ended up re-watching that episode... | | |
| 3:39am | Blogs Are My Neo Venezia | | | | This is part threefour of a semi-embarrassing series of posts inspired by the Aria anime. It’s not exactly the first or last time anyone would map the “otakusphere” to a geographic representation, a geometrical representation of online fandom. I’m just taking that a baby step... | | |
| 7:02am | No updates for a week (damn you Windows) - 2008.06.22 |  | | | I don’t know what it is right now, but my Windows install is corrupt. The registry seems to be missing or corrupted, but this is it. I’m switching back to Ubuntu (for the what, fifth, sixth time?) because I’m just done with this crap. Give me some time as I transition from XP to Ubuntu... | | |
| 4:36am | The Much Belated Aria Post | | | | This is a screencap of Akari in the most action-packed, heart-pounding moment of Aria thus far: a man, in a boat powered by an outboard motor, falls asleep and turns on the motor, sending him careening towards Akari’s gondola, where delicate glass waits to be broken into shards. Not to fear,... | | |
| 4:35pm | Praiseworthy anime sequels - The tanuki’s choice | | | | Sequels are tough deals. While burdened with the hopes of the original’s fans, they also need to avoid being merely ‘more of the same’ for keeping the franchise refreshing yet accessible to new viewers. Those are probably some reasons why most sequels fail under the crushing weight... | | |
| 10:50pm | How to Survive Aria the Natural | | | | It’s Summer again, soon. This is part 1 of a series of Aria-inspired posts. Hopefully I can address the problem about not being able to watch Aria the Natural in this installment, and may it be an inspiration and reminder to help you finish this unique journey from wetness to dryness. That is... | | |
| 3:24am | Aria The Magical |  | | | Sorry to whoever came here looking for news of possibly another season after The Origination. I haven’t even started The Origination yet. I’ve only just finished Aria The Natural. And well, it was pretty damn magical. I was lucky to grab all of The Natural and almost all of The Origination... | | |
| 11:19am | So I Didn’t Finish Gurren Lagann Until the Other Day… |  | | | Such a great shot, I have nothing witty to say about it. Yes, you dont have to tell me. I, myself, am ashamed that I let this off for so long. I’ve actually had it all ever since the day the final episode was released subbed. I was downloading it episode by episode but for some reason, I was caught... | | |
| 2:32am | Aria | | | | I’ve seen a number of posts by Jeff Lawson at Hop Step Jump about the Aria animated series. It’s always praise, but as I’ve never seen the series, I never paid much attention to it. I did check if there was a region one thinpack a while back, only to find it didn’t have a region... | | |
| 9:51am | ARIA licensed by TRSI & Nozomi | | | | The journey in ARIA may be over for a lot of us, but it’s definitely a new beginning for many to come. This is something that I was hoping for and it’s finally here. ARIA has been licensed. Of course it’s not just the first season, ARIA The Animation, but it includes ARIA The Natural,... | | |
| 7:16pm | Right Stuf/Nozomi licences Aria [Updated] | | | | Right Stuf International and Nozomi has announced that they have licensed the anime series Aria the Animation, and plan to have more Aria announcements in the future (so I guess we can assume that they’ve picked up Aria the Natural as well probably) Aria the Animation was released in 2005 and... | | |
| 4:27pm | ARIA the ORIGINATION [Final Thoughts] | | | | Coming full circle! ^_^ Because of this season alone, I proclaimed the ARIA series to be my top choice for “Best Anime Ever” award. I’ve watched a lotA LOT of anime, and never once had the thought of giving one of them my own “Best Anime Ever” award. But I now give it... | | |
