| 7:26pm | And Before VOTOMS There Was . . . | | | | There’s this mecha anime from Sunrise about the son of a white-haired absolute ruler. Violently disagreeing with his father’s regime, he joins a ragtag group of freedom fighters and becomes the hero of a rebellion. This is not, however, the noughties; this hero lacks limbs like noodles... | | |
| 7:38pm | Allison and Lillia - Final Impressions |  | | | I absolutely loved this series. There were so many things that were just great about it I found. There were almost two separate stories, while at the same time being very connect. It’s hard to explain that exactly, although they had this big connection and the characters from the first part played... | | |
| 7:00am | Snapshots: Casshern Sins, Rosario + Vampire CAPU2, Hyakko - 02 |  | | | To further make use of the Snapshots section, I thought it would be beneficial to showcase some of the second episodes for all the new series. Since neither Omni nor I have enough time to cover everything in full, I figured this slimmed-down format for the second week would be better than nothing.... | | |
| 6:51am | Old characters, new forms—gundam 00 s2 1 | | | | I still won't accept this as a gundam. What Gundam 00 must do in the second season is to introduce some real badass Gundam vs. Gundam matchup that has made Gundam SEED and Destiny so engaging. Season one didn’t really kick off for me until the Thrones arrived and Exia started to exterminate them,... | | |
| 2:15am | Fall 2008 Season: What Are Your Picks? |  | | | With the Fall season well upon us, I thought I'd take this opportunity to get some feedback from our readers as to which series they're planning to follow or looking forward to the most. While I'm sure a lot of people will include the highly-anticipated sequels -- Gundam 00 Second Season, CLANNAD ~AFTER... | | |
| 1:23am | ef - a tale of melodies | episode 01 | | | | The autumn season has rolled around, bringing along a potential watch list long enough to leave one at despair. (heaven and Hell?) Of course, among the abundant choice of titles there were some i was anticipating more than the others, and SHAFT’s continued adoption of ef was definitely one... | | |
| 1:13am | what i was forced to watch this week #43: infinite ryvius |  | | | I wanted to watch Infinite Ryvius for one simple reason: it’s supposed to have the second largest cast of characters in anime. The largest, of course, is Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It’s not even close. Infinite Ryvius has dozens of characters, and I believe that 487 students are onboard... | | |
| 8:47pm | Natsume Yuujinchou end: except it isn’t. Great | | | | The summer season turned out to be quite a good one, assuming you don’t mind watching two or three excellent series while ignoring countless others because you’re such an elitist you think that most of it was made of Fail. I know I’m being a bit harsh but I actually welcomed this because... | | |
| 5:00pm | Fall Anime Impressions – Clannad Season 2 | | | | Next up is one of the most anticipated shows of the fall season – Clannad season 2. The first season was partly my favorite KyoAni/Key show yet and partly my least favorite KyoAni/Key show. At the end of season 1, I was less then totally thrilled that Kyoto Animation was going to be doing the second... | | |
| 1:13pm | Anime Releases for October 2008 | | | | October, 2008 features a diverse collection of anime titles. There are a variety of anime releases this month, including the first 13 episodes of Ghost Hunt, the debut of Claymore, a box set of Witchblade and more from Funimation…including a few former Geneon titles. Viz Media offers up the latest... | | |
| 3:00am | Notes on Gundam 00 Second Season |  | | | 1. Needs a snappier title than Gundam 00 Second Season. G00SS is not a viable alternative. 2. I’m not completely sure if I’m watching a new gundam or just rewatching Zeta. A-Laws (it’s a pun, get it?) as fascist military? Check. Louis as an artificial newtype? Check. Can’t wait... | | |
| 1:27am | Birdy the Mighty Decode Review | | | | Birdy was one of the pleasant surprises of the summer season. I’d written off the show before it started for two reasons: the publicity pictures of the show were not enticing in the least and I read that there was a decade old OVA of Birdy that was not too memorable. Thankfully, I read a few good... | | |
| 2:23pm | [Anime Bento] Watchlist Fall - Winter 2008 | | | | What are you going to watch this Fall? As written up earlier on my previous post. Here is a list of anime I would like to check out at least the 1st few episodes. I will be updating throughout the post with additional videos PVs for each series as I find them. Currently a bit busy with other things... | | |
