| 12:00am | Still Enjoying Endless Eight (Yeah I went there) | | | | This is not an endorsement of the second and currently airing season of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. It doesn’t say here that this show is good, and that anyone is missing out. Rather, I agree with Pontifus when he says [->] All the weight/meaning in the world means nothing if you find the... | | |
| 11:13am | Guin Saga - 16 | | | | the more this series progresses, the more of a shame it becomes that there are only going to be 26 episodes. Sure, there can always be plans for a second season, but the chance for a second season to just be cancelled is just as big. That at the moment is sortof my problem with the trend that anime... | | |

| 6:29pm | Spice and Wolf review |  | | | I was a little late with watching Spice and Wolf, but better late than never for this excellent series Spice and Wolf has been on my “to-watch” list for quite some time, so I told myself I would watch it before the second season came out. And, since the second season started airing a few... | | |
| 6:01pm | The Degeneration of Haruhi Suzumiya | | | | No, it's not a new novel and certainly not a new episode ending finally the Endless Eight. What follows is a point of view on a studio and a publishing house that have no respect for their customers, a recurring theme these days.
