| 10:44am | Pride Comes Before A… Fall 2007 Previews: Clannad et al |  | | | The title is a bad pun on how a lot of bloggers are dumb this time of the year (i.e. first impressions posts) by dissing a lot of stuff they watch, only to reluctantly say they love it at the end of the season, or something. As bj0rn has said, tsundere boners. See Lucky Star for more details. Also,... | | |
| 9:20am | Happy Moe Day! (10.10.2007) | | | | Some anime fans celebrate Moe Day on the 10th of October every year. Why? Well, if you tear the word "萌"(moe) apart, you'll get "十月十日" which is 10 of October in both Chinese and Japanese kanji, and there goes Moe Day. Not many anime fans are aware of the fact!The Saimoe... | | |
| 12:20pm | September Summary | | | | + September 2007 Rankings + And finally the Spring- and Summer-seasons have ended. Last month, I received the comment that my ratings have been a tad too high, though I must say that they’ve possibly become even higher. But then again, September has been the best month in terms of anime for... | | |
| 8:46pm | “I just wanted to shout at the center of the world.” |  | | | This picture has nothing to do with the contents of this post. My finals are next Monday and all I’ve done this week is to rewatch Elfen Lied and finish watching Asatte no Houkou. Wonder what anime should I marathon watch next? RahXephon? Another run of Evangelion? Or maybe something more contemporary... | | |
| 9:43am | Byousoku 5cm: I miss you, I miss you so far |  | | | I have about nine entries in my feedreader’s Byousoku news bin that I’ve skimmed through briefly for fear of them influencing my review (yeah, you people sure can write). They’re all related to 5cm, but I’ve noticed two things they’ve neglected to point out, and this will... | | |

For the group stage of the tournament, the voting starts from Group A until Group H.

| 3:44pm | Remedial Anime Awards, August 2006 - July 2007: First Anniversary Special | | | | In conjunction with Yamaki’s Anime Blog’s First Anniversary celebration (I wanted to buy a birthday cake to celebrate but I was short of money, so meh), I, kristalyamaki, would like to present to you, the best of the best, the ones that made many go fanatical, in a roundup of the best animes of each... | | |
| 9:01am | Let’s not, and say we did (part 2/2 of a sola review) |  | | | A graph first, before anything: After much delay and procrastination, I finished sola since it was beginning to seem clear to me that Doremi wasn’t interested getting out a release any time soon. It was a rough journey, surely. While it wasn’t the type of anime I’d look back and cringe... | | |
| 9:05pm | Kamichu Review - 85/100 | | | | After “this guy” predicted how I would review Kamichu, I just had to watch it. Lately, I’ve been getting more and more interested in slice-of-life series (I’m currently a huge fan of Kaze no Shoujo Emily), so I was willing to give this series a try. However, when I started... | | |
| 11:39pm | Asatte no Houkou: Air done right, or You should be careful what you wish for |  | | | ’cause everyone of us has the devil inside Imagine this: On a dark and cloudy full-moon, your 12 year-old adopted little sister gets turned into a busty babe; to top that off, your 24 year-old ex-girlfriend now has the body of a pre-pubescent girl, now child-like both in appearance and voice.... | | |
| 6:56pm | Summer 2007 Anime Previews -- cast & staff | | | | On the brink of a new season, here is a look at the new shows, concentrating on staff and cast. The shows I'm looking forward to? As usual, it's hard to tell which shows will work for me, but I'm looking at Code E, Doujin Work, Kenko Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho, Moetan, Mononoke, Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei,... | | |
| 3:11pm | Excuse me, princess… |  | | | So I’ve been stuck with watching Code Geass since yesterday morning. After the first episode I was totally convinced that this was Gundam + Death Note, and while I’m struck aghast by how much awesome is concentrated in every episode, I also regret not watching this during its run. Not that... | | |
| 10:27am | Air has just evened Kanon’s score |  | | | I finished Air. After watching two out of four key Key works I feel a take on the genre would be appropriate so watch out for a hopefully extensive critique on the visual novel as a genre in the next two, three, maybe five days — in addition to that, I should be reading Planetarian after my exams... | | |
| 2:17pm | Lovely Complex 1 |  | | | Ray likes to tease me about it sometimes, but despite my adoration of shows like Kare Kano and Honey and Clover, and the fact that one of the very first anime I ever watched was Marmalade Boy (which I have seen in its entirety!)I don’t really consider myself a huge fan of shoujo type | | |
