| 7:55pm | Sports anime |  | | | As I mentioned in the season update, One Outs is being talked about, if not as a top drawer show. Now the apologists of sports anime made their point in Jen’s comments (hat tip: saturnine). Impz summed it up thus: I cannot agree more. The issue with such shows is that it will be terribly under-watched... | | |

| 1:21pm | T-That’s Impossible: A Retrospect on Saimoe 2008, Round 3 | | | | Analysis\ up when I get the chance, but since I’ll be away from the computer for a bit, I’ve got to push this post out the door: G3-2 Results: Show ▼ Tsukasa (Lucky Star) defeats Nagi (Hayate) 1080-889 H3-1 Results: Show ▼ Noe (true tears) defeats Suzu (Nagasarete Airantou) 972-555... | | |
| 4:34pm | Clash of the Ideals: Saimoe ‘08 [3GH-1] results and [3GH-2] preview | | | | Nagi vs. Tsukasa. Nagi vs. Tsukasa. Nagi vs. Tsukasa. The last match in Round 3 is the first major challenge for two beacons of moe for two shows that have shown exceptional support for their top characters. Who will emerge victor, and how hard will the world shake with the battle of these two and... | | |
| 5:36pm | WANTED - Spring/Summer anime recommendations | | | | This must be the nuclear winter of my anime passion. Since embarking on new employment in March, time has become such a precious commodity that I’ve only managed to complete 2 series from the Spring and Summer broadcasts - Code Geass R2 and DCIISS (both of which I enjoyed tremendously.) Of course,... | | |
| 5:18pm | Enough of That Already: Saimoe ‘08 [3EF-2] results and [3GH-1] preview | | | | Can I still dramatize Minami-ke? I can still dramatize Minami-ke. The third round has been a rough mix of incredible blowouts and intense battles; we’ve seen all four Clannad girls annihilate the competition in varying amounts. We’ve seen Nanoha and Shana go toe-to-toe for 23 hours in one... | | |
| 5:48pm | Duel of the Dark Horses: Saimoe ‘08 [3EF-1] results and [3EF-2] preview | | | | Things are looking bad for the Minami-ke ticket that could seemingly do no wrong one round ago. Now, faced with hate votes, strategic votes, and worst of all, Key characters (and I only use worst in the ‘garners ridiculous amount of votes’ sense), two of their girls got crushed pretty roughly,... | | |
| 6:39pm | “Can you believe in it?” Saimoe ‘08 [3AB-2] results and [3CD-1] preview | | | | The matches continue to be a close fight, and this time, it was the clash of Hanyuu and San that proved to be a nailbiter, especially for Higurashi fans that got burnt once before. But on the flip side, Seto no Hanayome fans bet all their stakes on this round, with both their characters fighting in... | | |
| 2:26pm | Bamboo Beatdown Brewing? Saimoe ‘08 [3AB-1] results and [3AB-2] preview | | | | And no one stopped to tell me that I got the match preview backwards, flipping B3-2 with A3-2? In any case, a great fight yesterday; I often found myself checking the interim standings for how close the Haruka vs. Fuuko results were, and if you look at the graph of the votes you find that over the... | | |
| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |
| 11:40am | 1/7 Kawazoe Tamaki PVC | | | | Griffon announced preorder for a very cute figure of Kawazoe Tamaki from the anime series Bamboo Blade. She looks so cute putting on her kendo gear. She is scheduled for release in Dec and will be retailing for 6,800 yen. I considering getting her since her gear is detached, which means it can be used... | | |
| 7:14pm | Yen Plus - The Rebirth of Raijin |  | | | Let me take you back to the spring of 2003 when I was in my final months of high school. One of the “senior privileges” my school offered was that we were allowed to leave campus during our study hall periods. Well, none of my friends had study hall with me and I most certainly didn’t... | | |
