| 7:39am | AX Idol 2008 Sings Basilisk OP | | | | This is the full video of Pamela Moss of Makenai band singing her winning AX Idol entry, “Kouga Ninpouchou” (the OP of Basilisk). I think she does a great job here. Check out more works by her band, Makenai, at their Myspace profile–they do some great covers of other anime theme songs... | | |
| 8:35pm | Basilisk #24 (Final Episode) | | | | This post is spoilery…and emotionally driven. As a warning for people who haven’t watched this series yet: It’s very depressing. Only watch if you have the heart to stomach it. You know how the Japanese just love to indulge in their tragedies…Forgive me for taking so long to blog this final... | | |
| 7:28pm | Shinobi - Heart Under Blade: Blu-ray Review | | | | I got this Blu-ray disc a while ago from Funimation but I was never able to watch it since I didn’t have a player.

| 4:39am | Nabari no Ou: Ninjas! Plants! Watercolor Backgrounds! | | | | Approximately two weeks late I finally manage to catch the first episode of Nabari no Ou. I was going to do two at once but that backfires when you don’t actually have the second episode on hand, so this reflects the first episode. I was actually fairly pleased with the first episode, much more... | | |
| 1:23pm | Gakuen + Shoujo = Wheeeee! |  | | | There are so many gakuen (school life) + shoujo (girls) animes this season, many of which are adapted from very famous and/or popular manga. Which would you – the shoujo anime lover – choose, I wonder? Here, I’ve gathered three popular shoujo + gakuen animes this season and made a comparison... | | |
| 1:00am | Waiting for Code Geass 2 |  | | | While waiting for the second season, let me share some of my thoughts on Season 1 which is probably one of the best anime 2006 had to offer. It’s not what I can call a unique series. The plot reminds me of the usual war themes in anime but the creators did quite well in presenting the story with... | | |

| 10:02pm | Basilisk: the manga | | | | For years, the Kouga and Iga clans have lived uneasily under an enforced peace- a peace that should only be strengthened by the marriage of their leaders, Gennosuke and Oboro.
