| 11:24am | Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto: Episodes 5 & 6 | | | | Rating: 8.3/10 & 8.3/10Impressions:Oh goddamn, four episodes went and got subbed without me even noticing.This whole series so far seems to be going through an orderly cycle every episode, consisting of a play, fight and some more background information given. With this though, it may seem a | | |
| 11:31pm | Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto 8 |  | | | The fight between Youjiro and Sakyounosuke was really the highlight of this episode. There isn’t much progress in terms of plot except that Jubei’s plan for the head to choose a new ruler over Japan was foiled by Soutetsu. I guess Soutetsu wanted the head after all for as yet unknown | | |
| 5:12pm | Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto - 12 - Soutetsu? | | | | Okay, I made some assumptions after the previous episode which weren’t all that correct. Katsu has actually travelled to Edo as well, which would explain Taiyou’s presence. It seems that he’s taken Parkes along with him. The masked ghosts also weren’t the ones who killed | | |
| 4:09pm | Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihohet - 11 - Welcome to Edo | | | | Here it is, the day before christmas and I’m stuck with a friggin’ cold. In any case, this episode was more of an introduction-episode. The troupe travels to Edo, if I’m not mistaken, where Akizuki has been residing for the past two episodes in which he ran into Okita. It’s | | |
| 9:51pm | Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto 7 | | | | Washi ——– Rating: A-——– It's certainly been a while since I've blogged this show and I have only my own negligence to blame for this. I have taken a casual approach to blogging nowadays, however, so I don't feel too guilty | | |

| 7:31pm | Is it Time for Another Quiz? Autumn Season Quiz NOW! | | | | I realised I haven’t really done any quizzes since the dinosaurs still ruled. Setting and doing quizzes are actually a great way to keep abreast of the latest and the most obscure of anime knowledge, to prove that you aren’t just a n00blet or worse, a Naruto fanboy.This episode of Riuva | | |

| 6:30am | Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto - 09 - Sakamoto Ryouma | | | | And so starts the second major arc of Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto. I’m still not sure what the troupe is going to do, as so far, it seems to be entirely focusing on Akizuki. This episode especially delivered a great deal of background from his side. The new major antagonist also has yet... | | |
| 8:38pm | First Impression: Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto | | | | When I saw the OP, I thought I might like this anime. But there are some small problems. I don’t understand a thing of it. It might be because it’s only the first episode, but I can’t seem to understand what on earth this anime is about. The thing that I noticed too, was the | | |

| 1:44pm | Nipponsei Weekly Review: Nov 25 |  | | | Another week, more music. Hataraki Man OP and NHK’s second OST reviews this time.Hataraki Man’s OP is Hataraku Otoko by Puffy. In my opinion it’s a wonderful rock song, and another great song from this excellent music season. It’s a quirky song that fits Hataraki perfectly. | | |
