| 5:55pm | NYAF08: Del Rey Manga | | | | Hokay, getting started on the Del Rey Manga panel, with Ali Kokmen presiding of course. (No bow tie this time around, nor a Dallas Middaugh– he’s on his honeymoon!) Cue me acting all jealous. Moving onDel Rey is doing comics based on Bakugan Battle Brawlers and Ben 10 as part of a new partnership... | | |
| 4:37am | Toonami Ends. Tom Says Goodbye For The Last Time. | | | | As reported by ANN, Cartoon Network has ended the 11-year run of its Toonami programming block. Naruto was the only anime left on the schedule. The Toonami Jetstream online streaming service will reportedly still continue, albeit under the branding “Jetstream”. It has also been reported... | | |
| 6:15pm | SG Toys and Comics Convention: Preview Night and Funny Incidents | | | | Tonight was the preview night for the inaugural Singapore Toys and Comics Convention, organised by PI events. They didn’t give me a press release so I’ll just write what I remember. The guest of honour was the Minister for Sports and Community Development, Vivi (Black Mage from FF9) Balakrishnan.... | | |
| 12:43am | Bakugan Battle Brawlers 36 |  | | | -So Alice can brawl. Her element seems to be dark, but that just could be because she was being aided by the dark guardian. It’s actually kinda fitting for her, though. She claims to not know herself why she has to fight against Masquerade, but she’s still doing it, and she’s still... | | |
| 1:52am | Bakugan Battle Brawlers 27 (and new ED) |  | | | Nice to see some more angst pouring in. Episode 26 was pretty depressing, but the ending to this episode rivals it. Mostly covering this one as an excuse to screencap the new ED, because I rather like it. Definitely a huge improvement over the first. No new OP, unfortunately.For the plot, basically,... | | |
| 2:16pm | Kaze no Shoujo Emily Review - 94/100 | | | | Kaze no Shoujo Emily, or Emily of the New Moon as its English title, is the third of what I’d like to call the “big three” of the spring-season 2007, along with Toward the Terra and Bokura no. These three form the cream of the crop of the series that have been released for the past half year,... | | |
| 2:56am | Bakugan Battle Brawlers 24 |  | | | Note: I do NOT plan to blog this show on a regular basis (it’s way too cheesey), unless something really interesting happens again, so don’t ask.I really wonder how I went from reviewing ecchi lolicon-fodder in my last entry to something like this. I really have strange taste. Ugh, hurry... | | |
| 5:24pm | Autumn Season Preview | | | | When I first glanced upon the list of series that were slated for the Fall-Season, I thought that this Season would be even worse than the Fall-Season of 2006. Thankfully, I was wrong; there are quite a few interesting series out there, and there are way less shounen and harem-series than last year.... | | |
| 6:04am | Exploring Stupidity: Lucky Star 01, Bakugan Battle Brawlers 02 |  | | | Lucky Star 01Okay, this was pretty idiotic. It was kinda cute at points, plus I got vibes from Azumanga Daioh, To Heart, Happy 7 and panyo Panyo Digi Charat. Normally that would be a good thing, but there’s a limit to how much time should be spent talking about food in any given episode. These... | | |
| 7:56pm | First Impressions: Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Romeo x Juliet |  | | | Bakugan Battle BrawlersI said I'd watch an episode of this show just for the heck of it and I was right in thinking it would suck. It's Yugioh, more-or-less. One day, this series will be licensed by some company that will edit it to pieces (even thought there's nothing to edit out,) air on US | | |
| 9:06am | Spring 2007 anime schedule: TOO MANY SHOWS | | | | This is a guest post by ByrnedHead, because I didn’t feel like doing all this. I will, however, certify that Bokurano is going to be awesome. Any unrecognizable references are ADTRW jokes.I’ve boldfaced the titles I deem “important,” and I fully expect the best show to be | | |
