| 8:25pm | ARIA The ORIGINATION - Picture Drama | | | | The Aria Picture Drame made me realise once again the importance of the Seiyū for the quality of an anime show. Channeling feelings, emotions and even actions believable only through the voice is an ability that just can’t be treasured too high, especially if one knows how bad voice acting can... | | |

| 7:40am | Short thoughts on my summer anime (2008.09.02) |  | | | This is NOT a post about anime that aired during the summer, but rather anime I’ve watched during the summer. Let’s skip the chit-chat and walk into this shit. Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural, Aria the OVA ~Arietta~, Aria the Origination - FINISHED - Simply wonderful. Aria is definitely... | | |
| 7:15am | Hidamari Sketch x 365 - First Impressions | | | | Hidamari Sketch x 365 - 01 Hidamari Sketch done better. THIS was a great way to get the series going! Punyaa~ I’m basing a lot off of just the first episode, but I really hope SHAFT keeps what they are doing going. From OP to ED, I was yanked back into the Hidamari universe and completely absorbed... | | |
| 7:04pm | ARIA the ORIGINATION 5.5 | | | | More ARIA is always good, especially if it’s a filler special from the DVD that never aired!! ^_^ Though there wasn’t any Aika nor Alice goodness, usual Akari was more than enough. Well, at least for me since I ♥ Akari!! ^_^ Also, I enjoyed that little moment she had with Akatsuki... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 2:53pm | Natsukashii~ ED Themes in Anime |  | | | So I’ve just recently finished Aria the Origination and the thing that disappointed me the most was the ending theme song. Not only was it NOT by Round Table feat. Nino, it was abrupt and in your face unlike The Natural’s. But the point of this post is not Origination, it is about ED themes... | | |

| 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,... | | |
| 4:55am | Commercials Are the Bane of My Existence | | | | We all hate commercials -except on Super Bowl Sundays, apparently. For some reason those are just amazing for most of the country-. The greatest thing about anime is the lack of commercials. Sure we have to sit through the part where a guy -who I swear is Kusanagi Tsuyoshi- or some woman says the name... | | |
| 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... | | |
