| 5:21pm | End of Year Round Up? Length is Everything. | | | | So Otoboku, Happiness, Kujibiki Unbalance and a few other shows have ended, I’ll just briefly talk about them.Most people claim that 12 parters are on average better than 26-episode shows but this just isn’t true. While the former does avoid needless filler and gets straight into the | | |
| 10:39am | Dreams of the Year Behind | | | | I really like seeing the takes of other bloggers running down their lists for 2006; really fun! I myself don’t feel competent enough to bring anything grand or new to the table, but I would like to remember my lust of the animation in 2006.I’m going to lay it out honestly. I had very | | |
| 4:21am | Asatte no Houkou Review - 93/100 | | | | Wait, an actual slice-of-life series that I actually enjoyed? Yes, it is possible. While I normally find pure slice-of-life series rather boring, sometimes one appears which adds something extra. In the case of Asatte no Houkou, the result turned out amazing. This is one of those rare anime which | | |
| 2:57am | Asatte no Houkou - 12 - And It Has Ended | | | | And so it has ended. Phew, it surely has been one great ride, from start to finish. Like I said, so far Asatte no Houkou is standing on the #1 spot for the shows released in the fall season. All that’s left is to see whether another show can take its place. Heh, it surely won’t be easy. | | |
| 1:59am | Asatte no Houkou - 11 - Let the Finale Begin! | | | | Great pre-ending episode. Even though nearly everything it’s been doing is build up for the final episode, we do get to see Karada telling Tetsu about what happened to her. Unlike Hiro, however, he doesn’t believe her. Asatte no Houkou has really been the best anime to air in the | | |
| 9:26pm | Asatte no Houkou ep.12 | | | | This episode is not as bad as I thought it would be but I do think that it could have been better. There are some good lines included in this episode but the problem is I don't believe that these lines are applicable to the characters. One of the lines, for example, would have been romantic if I | | |
| 3:50am | Of flowing love and fitting ends - A mild lament on AsaHou | | | | Not gonna happenI would have loved to see Kotori walk away with Junichi in Da Capo but I know that’ll be wrong. I’m still learning to apply the distinction between ‘best’ and ‘right’ in love but I think I’m getting it. Kotori is unarguably the best female | | |
| 1:51am | Asatte no Houkou - Episode 09 | | | |       Will Tetsu have any luck finding Karada?                                            My Thoughts: Is it just me, or did Touko have like a big part in making her little brother run off after Karada? xD If she didn’t go off yelling at him... | | |
| 10:55am | Asatte no Houkou - 12 (Finale) |  | | | Well it wasn’t really that good of an ending. They wasted time by having Karada randomly spaz once again about the same thing (Shouko x Hiro issue) run off, have Tetsu ONCE AGAIN tell her he loves her and then everything going back to normal. Oh and of course the anime original character has a... | | |
| 4:18am | Mushishi eps 1 to 4 review |  | | | Mushishi has been on my computer in my “anime-to-watch” folder for a while before I finally sat down and marathoned the first 4 episodes last night. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the series, and after watching these few episodes, I think it definitely deserves the praise it... | | |

| 7:27am | Asatte no Houkou - 09 |  | | | Tetsu continues to investigate Karada's disappearance after receiving the post card from her, so he runs away from home determined to find her by any means necessary.Impressions: This episode was amazing. Although a little bit slow, in no way was this boring. One of the most interesting parts | | |
| 3:22pm | Asatte no Houkou - 09 - Got Coincidence? | | | | “A cigg a day keeps her loli at bay”Rating: 8.7/10I wasn’t as impressed with this episode as the last few, and it was mostly because of all the little coincidences here and there. Maybe it’s just me, but I absolutely HATE when animes have the “small world” | | |
| 12:52pm | Asatte no Houkou: Episode 9 | | | | Rating: 9.5/10Impressions:After such a touching episode last time, can this follow-up match it? Apparently not, but it’s almost as good. Karada looked a bit funny some of the times (I’m talking about how her face is drawn) but that’s ok, the feeling’s still there. Sure, the | | |
| 8:14am | Fall ‘06: Catch Up | | | | Click to enlarge May not look like much, but this is the replacement for those lengthy episode summary posts. That’s not to say I’ll stop doing episode summaries and analysis completely, but they will be scarce and random. Instead I’ve decided to employ a ranking system, it’s... | | |
