| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 1:03am | Asatte no Houkou - Life is like sand, I suppose |  | | | One of the best openings I’ve ever seen in any show There’s things you won’t reach even with outstretched hands; There are things that will fade into the distance once you let it go; People are always seeking these, and before they know it; Become lost. Ever think that life is like... | | |

| 4:36pm | How popular are your favourite anime bishoujos? | | | | It appears that I’m the only fan of Iokawa Karada, at least according to Myanimelist. Ioka-who? I don’t blame you. Served without fanservice and mecha, Asatte no houkou had only good drama, pseudo-lolis and strong characterisation to draw viewers. In other words, it wasn’t as popular... | | |
| 4:10am | Why I Love Anime: Letter A | | | | No direct answer to the common question of “why do you enjoy anime?”. If an anime fan thinks deeply into it, it’s a rather silly question. It’s like asking someone; “do you enjoy TV? Movies? How about music?”. The only possible downfall is the form of media. You might... | | |
| 3:08am | 39 New Winter Anime -- full previews: staff, cast, pic, story, trailer | | | | The winter season is usually the least exciting of the year, but there are always surprises. Last year, there were true tears and Spice & Wolf. Here are some of this year's possibilities, followed by a complete preview of almost all the new shows:-- Genji Monogatari Sennenki is a new anime based... | | |
| 5:20pm | Asatte no houkou DVDs - Getto! | | | | Since the Asatte no Houkou DVD boxset appeared at my favourite anime DVD shop about a year ago, I’ve never stopped agonising over it. The hurdle? A prohibitive pricetag of S$160. I’m glad I held out for so long since I bought the boxset for S$95 today - a staggering 40% in savings. Reviewing... | | |
| 4:04pm | Is Asatte no houkou worth 12,000¥? | | | | While the US Congress/Bush adminstration lock horns over the US$700b bailout plan and Singapore deliberates if we are in a technical recession, this tanuki is in minor financial fix himself. The ¥12,000 question - Is Asatte no houkou worth ¥12,000? First, some background. Despite the non-siscon end,... | | |
| 4:42pm | Noteworthy anime OSTs - 10 personal picks | | | | A common thread runs through my favourite anime scenes - Great music. I remember choking up in Asatte no Houkou ep 8 as “Kasa” hit a crescendo during a very poignant moment; cheering on Sasuke as he battled Orochimaru in ep 29 against the high tension flute notes of the Naruto soundtrack... | | |
| 4:19am | Soundtrack Slice | | | | What’s this? Sort of like what Darry’s Derailment does, just a little bit of counting down on anime-related musical notes the past few months. Links for the actual products are going to be affiliated links :x 6. I dig Momoi’s Cover Best Live DVD. It’s always a happy event when... | | |
| 12:13am | Evirus on Asatte no Houkou |  | | | Karmaburn: I fully agree that Asatte no Houkou is a very good show — presumably doubly so if you like Karada, Tetsumasa, and Hiro more than I did. That I still found Asatte no Houkou so enjoyable despite liking only Shouko is a testament to J.C. Staff’s storytelling abilities. I’m pleased the... | | |
| 2:46pm | Bishoujo perfection in the real world | | | | One of my anime-related dreams is to raise a daughter beautiful both in body and soul like Kotori (DCSS), Karada (Asatte no houkou) or Kanami (Scryed). Mrs Stripey objects every time I bring it up. Not because it’s an impossible task (with her, I have 50% chance :P). but because such gentle-kindness... | | |
| 9:58pm | What was that anime, again….? | | | | Asatte no Houkou (”A Direction of the Day After Tomorrow”) Karada Iokawa is a young girl who transforms into a young woman. Shōko Nogami, a young woman who has just returned from studying abroad, happens to be the former girlfriend of Karada’s older brother. Shōko transforms into... | | |
| 3:56pm | Yamaki's Anime Blog: Kristalyamaki's 2008 Resolution | | | | There goes our Health Minister, being forced to tender his resignation due to a sex scandal - he was videotaped having sex with a "personal friend" of his, but that's off topic. School's starting for me tomorrow so I won't be able to be active online anymore, but that's... | | |
| 2:33pm | Year in Review: Giant Robots Play Musical Chair | | | | I think one thing that sets TV anime far apart from any other kind of TV animation is the focus on soundtracks. Sometimes even for a crappy TV anime. It costs good money, and sometimes it shows. And this year the choice is easy. If I was to pick out an anime title for its original soundtracks, it would... | | |
