| 10:21am | Geass Finale: Crappy(?) | | | | It’s about time you die, Onii-sama Yes, yes, I owe Nagato-sama a big apology for tugging on his/her tree, but his/her part is the ‘fruity’ part where we find the funny rants and stuff, mine is just the trunk, where uhh.. I can’t think of anything at the moment. I’m just... | | |
| 10:00am | Lelouch ;A; (YES THIS IS A SPOILER!!!) |  | | | ( ゚д゚) Lelouch!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;AAAAAAAAAAAA; Oh god, he meant to commit suicide all along. Shit I’ve gotta admit I shed a tear for him. R2’s ending just redeemed most of the stupidity of the past few episodes well enough for me. Finally, a small little troll by Sunrise. Orange in an... | | |
| 1:40am | Otakon 2008: Final Round | | | | I feel as if seeing JAM Project live is the culmination of my anime fandom. The victory lap of one of my central hobbies. What more do I need to do, if I have reached the peak? Little Wing acoustic version was absolutely incredible. If I ever see another anime-related concert in my life, I’ll... | | |
| 9:02pm | In Defense of Liking Bad Anime |  | | | IKnights article about his love of Karin got me thinking about if there was some forgotten or maligned anime I’ve seen that, despite my own high standards, I loved anyways. So I go to check out my MAL anime list and it turns out there’s not just one show that fits the bill, there’s... | | |

| 5:47pm | Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo Episode 1 - What a long name! |  | | | Why in the world am I always blogging about anime where the name of the series is impossibly difficult to remember? I always have to resort to the silly ctrl-C button in order to remember the name. Silly rants aside, Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo -Ryoko’s Case File- (a long mouthful) is one... | | |
| 10:32pm | Bartender ~ This Round is on Me | | | | I was listening to some music of mine and heard the opening song to Bartender, which I decided to download on a whim and never got around to writing about. I realize the show is a bit old. I was on MAL one day and indulging in some ARIA obsessiveness and saw a “if you liked this show you might... | | |
| 10:35pm | Hirano Aya Idol DVD "Love Story" | | | | This is Aya's second idol DVD. I guess the first one last fall sold well enough that Spacecraft and Pony Canyon went ahead and made a second. At the moment, a week after its release, it is sitting seventh in sales in the idol DVD category on 7 and Y, and tenth on amazon.co.jp. (click photos to enlarge)... | | |
| 7:10pm | Beginning of Spring Season | | | | or should I say the ultimate yaoi season? This is the probably the best anime season for gay otaku! not even half the shows are watchable by the straight audience and even from them, not even half are not shounen/harem crap. A very disappointing season in general. To sum it up:Yaoi: Himitsu, Junjou... | | |

| 4:35pm | Monochrome Factor Episode 2 - Scarred Shadow | | | | Preface - this show is bad. Really, really bad. I know. You don’t have to tell me, I know. With that aside, Akira wakes up with Shirogane, who tells him that Akira can’t re-materialise in the mortal world without Shirogane hanging on to him and becoming his shadow. Hijinks of the most... | | |
| 11:57pm | Porfy no Nagai Tabi - 12 | | | | Oh my god! Oh my freaking god it’s going to happen! In the next episode, it’s really going to happen!!!

| 8:50am | The Catchup 1: True Tears 4-7 |  | | | This is the first in a series of aggregate episode reviews to make up for not having blogged regularly for such a long timefirst up is True Tears, the show that more and more is becoming what Myself; Yourself should have been. It’s got the emotional drama and the character conflict, and manages... | | |
