| 11:52pm | T.H.A.T.’s Summer 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | Summer timeand the livin’s easy Since Impz has bailed on us for three weeks to go to some academic conference, the duty of creating the THAT Anime Blog Summer 2008 Preview falls to me. Thankfully it’s not a fall or spring preview or I’d have to kill him. This preview uses pretty much the... | | |

| 5:09pm | Janggeum’s Dream: Episode 27 Commentary | | | | The first series opened with the upbeat-but-soothing “장금이의 꿈” (Jang Geum’s Dream) theme song. The DVD release kept the same animation, scenes from early episodes, but replaced the theme song with “달빛소녀” (Moonlight Girl, sung by Lee Seung Hwan and Jeong... | | |
| 10:31pm | Harem Personality Quiz: ask your blogger what harem anime is right for you! | | | | So you wanna watch a harem anime. Or maybe you’re just amused by my post title. In any case, the harem genre is one that enjoys a negative reputation from anime viewers, mainly due to the core nature of it being one guy surrounded by many girls waiting to jump him - rather pandering, even I... | | |
| 1:47pm | xxxHolic - 31 | | | | Finally! A catgirl who doesn’t end her sentences with “-nya”. She also doesn’t have any of the nervous tics to make her seem excessively cute either. I like that. In any case: I really must praise the second season by fixing about the only thing that was wrong with the first... | | |
| 8:30am | Final Thoughts: Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei | | | | After twelve episodes of seeing Itoshiki Nozomu fall into despair, there can have been few fans of the series who weren’t ready for him and his eclectic class to come back for more. Fortunately, the success of the first season meant that another thirteen episodes weren’t far behind, but would ‘second... | | |
| 12:51am | Minami-Ke Okawari 3, the pajama festival. | | | | Well, it’s been a long time since I watched or blogged about Minami-ke, work, darts, dating, and other various distractions have kept me from finishing out some anime series. But work seems like it will be slowing down for awhile, and two out of three of my dart leagues have finished... | | |
| 8:25am | ARIA the Utopia, the Dream, the Heaven | | | | I must confess. I am a weak person. I crumbled under the beauty that embodies the world of Aqua. Its tranquility, its beauty, and its denizens They have become endeared to me. It’s truly amazing. There are very few things that make my “Top 10 List” Not even 10 series make it into the... | | |
| 8:36pm | Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei Review - 81/100 | | | | There’s one big pitfall that strikes quite a lot of comedy-series: getting increasingly less interesting as the end nears. Generally, there are two causes for this: the insertion of forced drama at the last minute and a refusal to develop the cast of characters. The second season of Sayonara... | | |
| 2:32am | Aria | | | | I’ve seen a number of posts by Jeff Lawson at Hop Step Jump about the Aria animated series. It’s always praise, but as I’ve never seen the series, I never paid much attention to it. I did check if there was a region one thinpack a while back, only to find it didn’t have a region... | | |
| 10:50am | xxxHolic - 05 | | | | The big improvement, aside from the increased graphics-budget, of the second season is the inclusion of foreshadowing. The first season was very good, but the stories all felt a bit disconnected from each other, aside from the occasional appearances of the Rain and Vestal Sprite. The second season... | | |
| 1:52pm | April Summary | | | | So, most series have had four episodes aired now. So far, the season is looking quite promising, with many good series that have debuted. I’ve been noticing an on-going trend though, about how much more 13 episode-series appear. It’s a shame, because a lot of these series could have easily been... | | |
| 1:38pm | Black Lagoon ブラックラグーン Eps. 23-24 |  | | | Final Series Score: 5/10 If I may quote Family Guy’s character Brian: “Nothing’s happening. Nothing’s happening. Nothing’s happening. it’s over. A lot of people look pissed.” I feel like Brian’s comments perfectly sum up my thoughts on Black Lagoon as... | | |
