| 11:25pm | Code Geass Stops, Excited and Satisfied Kids Get Off the Rollercoaster | | | | I’m not a big theme park person but I’ve been to a few of them. At one point in my life I used to go every year. In a way, big-budget mainstream anime are a bit like amusement park rides. At least in the US, where land is plenty and people pay an arm and leg to go to them, theme parks attract... | | |
| 9:24pm | TheBigN’s Crappy One/Two-Liner 2008 Fall Preview |  | | | As I’ve stated before, I haven’t done these things before because for most of the shows, I don’t know jack about them, so I thought there was no point. Well, I still think there’s no point in the matter, but because I can’t really think of anything else to post about for... | | |
| 12:43pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode Review - 82,5/100 | | | | My three personal favourite series are the following: 1) Mahou Shoujotai, 2) Noein, 3) Visions of Escaflowne. Because Mahou Shoujotai wasn’t directed by just one guy, but a whole bunch of directors and the latter two were directed by the guy called Kazuki Akane, it’s pretty safe to say... | | |
| 12:14am | Fresh Autumn Flavors | | | | Is it already that time of year? It’s been warm lately - I’m sitting outside, enjoying it at this very moment - but the leaves are nonetheless changing color and the nights are growing cooler. The cold and snow is just around the corner. I don’t know how much value there is in doing... | | |
| 10:17pm | Honya’s Fall 2008 Watch List | | | | Epic Anime Season is Epic. Fall season will be starting in just a few days time and it is looking to be one of the best in recent memory. With shows like CLANNAD: After Story and Gundam 00 Second Season, this coming season looks like it will be Fall 2007 remix version 2.0. There are also plenty of... | | |
| 9:08pm | Internet Deprivation Diary | | | | So I have an internet connection, of sorts, in my new home now. As suspected, acquiring it was, roughly speaking, as fun as nailing my own arm to a door, and not one of your nice clean, new doors, no, an old one with splinters and woodlice. Still, I’m back earlier than I expected, which is something.... | | |
| 10:09am | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 12 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume gets a very nasty curse put on his arm. Highlights: ZOMG Second Season! Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Ah, thank goodness this series is getting its second season. The show is nice and all, but there’s so much potential left that still needs to be touched. This concept... | | |
| 6:36pm | 2008 Autumn Season Preview and Tye-Dye Festival | | | | When everything turns red and dies or something like that. Well, as usual, unless a show looks so bad as to give me some form of horrible wasting illness, I’m probably going to check it out and then be able to formulate an opinion that isn’t based on a 50 word blurb and some pretty art... | | |
| 1:49am | Strike Witches: Final Evaluation | | | | GREATEST ANIME OF SUMMER SEASON? YOU BET!!(potential 56k killer ahead. BEWARE) Ok seriously though this is one of the best anime of the year so far in my opinion. While some might bemoan it as an anime that is full of nothing but fanservice (due to the fact that every girl in the anime wears their pantsu... | | |
| 10:36pm | A Look at the Humor of “Haré + Guu” |  | | | Some months ago, I wrote in my Avatar retrospective that the humor in anime comedies just could not compare to that of our domestic cartoons. The Japanese and Americans have two different senses of humor, which are buried deep into our cultural upbringing. Domestic cartoons featured more sarcasm and... | | |

| 9:34pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 11 | | | | Short Synopsis: Birdy faces a difficult task: telling Senkawa that Ryunka is in Nakasugi. Highlights: A bit predictable, but at the same time very interesting developments, considering that second season.
