| 7:33am | September Summary | | | | Overall, I don’t think I’m ever going to label the past half year as the best that anime can give. Instead, the past season stood out with its large amount of series that at first sight don’t seem to stand a chance, and yet turn out to be surprisingly solid and enjoyable. My top 10... | | |
| 8:37pm | Blassreiter Review - 85/100 | | | | When Blassreiter first started, it was met with a lot of doubts, which is of course natural after Gonzo’s escapades with the infamous Dragonaut. Blassreiter looked like it would be the same bloody thing again. But as it turns out, the creators pretty much managed to nail down a very entertaining... | | |
| 2:22pm | Macross Frontier - 25 | | | | Short Synopsis: The final episode: Save Ranka and destroy Grace. Highlights: Pretty, but a bit too keen on creating a perfect ending. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 Ugh, okay, so Alto didn’t die; I should have known. I’ve been too spoiled by series as Ultraviolet and especially Himitsu,... | | |
| 6:45pm | Actually, Blassreiter is quite good | | | | When Blassreiter started airing in April, I suppose I wasn’t the only one to ignore it, but why is that? Wait, isn’t it obvious? Just two damn words are all it takes.Studio Gonzo.In recent years, despite the odd exception, their name has become synonymous with bland, conventional, boring... | | |
| 5:00pm | Autumn series 2008 ~ Where the orange leaves fall | | | | Uu! Uu! Cute girl! And just as we are about to finish summer and bid goodbye to those lovely, sunny rays (for some parts of the world anyway), Autumn is here again to bring us a bucket load of 30-something new series. As usual, summaries can be read from THAT blog whilst I go and copy-pasta their images.... | | |
| 7:27am | AZU - Jikan yo Tomare feat. SEAMO PV (Itazura na Kiss ED2) |  | | | Watch and listen to it in higher quality here. While Itazura na Kiss isn't one of the series being covered on this site, I've been following it ever since it started airing back in April. Back then, I got a bit overambitious when I started blogging and tried to cover every series that I was watching... | | |
| 4:09pm | CD: BLASSREITER OST | | | | I was waiting for the tracklisting with this post and it turns out it does have what I was expecting it to have - a new Kanako Itou song (in addition to English DD). September 10, 2008 release.「ブラスレイタ 」 オリジナル・サウンド トラックBLASSREITER Original Soundtrack Norihiko... | | |
| 6:39am | August Summary | | | | August has definitely been an interesting and at the same time strange month. I keep seeing everywhere that the past Summer Season has disappointed, but I just can’t agree with those statements. Sure, there’s no absolute masterpiece airing now that Kaiba ended, but there are actually lots... | | |
| 4:40am | Is the death knell for scanlations and fansubs approaching?? | | | | Of late there have been a large number of C&D (Cease & Desist) letters being sent to various groups in both the fansub and scanlation scene. Gonzo especially have been targeting groups that are doing their series. All but one group complied with the notice, one however stated they would keep... | | |
| 4:24pm | Zyl on Blassreiter |  | | | Zyl opens Blassreiter thus: So, in addition to Mentar carefully anticipating and answering all my objections and worries (principally GONZO, then again Seto no Hanayome was enjoyable too - are they finally getting their act together?), there was also the invocation of the Shizuka Itou Doctrine for... | | |

| 2:00pm | YouTube + Funimation Versus Pirates? | | | | YouTube is hosting full episodes of the following Funimation anime series: Blue Gender, Kiddy Grade, Peach Girl and Slayers. I guess it’s part of the ongoing battle against illegal anime downloads (i.e. BLASSREITER on Crunchyroll.com)Funimation Anime Series on Youtube!You won't embed my anime... | | |
| 9:32am | July Summary | | | | The summer-season has always been the season of short and varied series, and in 2008, it’s no different. There’s a wide variety of genres in this relatively small season, only horror seems to be missing at first glance. So far, there are a number of potential classics lurking among them. #30 (new)... | | |
| 11:50pm | Thoughts on Blassreiter 01-12 |  | | | I wanted to find some other pages about Blassreiter to comment on, and I was really disappointed to find that very few (if any) bloggers covered Blassreiter. I was also guilty of assuming that Gonzo + CG + Motorcycles = Fail, but so far the show has been very engaging. This post will be pretty spoilery,... | | |
