| 11:35pm | How Did Gonzo Do? A Look Back At Week One |  | | | Last week, I made the pretty bold claim that Gonzo studio was about to change everything with their new release model for the Tower of Druaga and BLASSREITER. On Friday and Saturday, Gonzo followed through on their promise by releasing the shows’ premiere episodes online immediately following... | | |
| 9:56pm | Itazura na Blassreiter Love Kurenai-Ru | | | | The spring anime season is well under way, my blogging, however, is not, haha. I guess this is the downside of heading into new seasons blindly, on one hand there are no expectations when viewing newly released series, but on the other, it leaves me with little idea of what to write about. But I suppose... | | |
| 7:48pm | Still watching | | | | Just a few comments on the new season after having seen a few episode 1s. By far the most impressive so far has been Bones' Soul Eater (no relation to Soul Taker), directed by the always reliable Takuya Igarashi. Directing was great and solid throughout, but more than anything, with first Sword of the... | | |
| 2:57am | BLASSREITER - Episode 1 | | | | Am I on a GONZO fix or what right now. I wasn’t as immediately hooked onto BLASSREITER as I was The Tower of Druaga, but by the end I was left feeling willing enough to try out the second episode. Like Dragonaut, CG was used for all the fast-moving scenes and fights, which was okay and all,... | | |
| 10:59pm | spring 2008 weekend #1: code geass, blassreiter, and friends |  | | | 1) Kanokon was atrocious. It was even worse than To Love-Ru. I at least thought that To Love-Ru might’ve been funny if I were half my age. 2) Zettai Karen Children could’ve been awesome, but then Aya Hirano opened her mouth. 3) Code Geass was just what I expected. Now I want to know why... | | |
| 9:39pm | Crunchyroll Druaga Ep Disappears | | | | I feel like this should be a Scooby Doo mystery: The Case of the Disappearing Anime Series! Crunchyroll has announced that for the time being, they’re taking down Tower of Druaga. Why? I have no idea; all they say is tha it’s not GONZO’s fault. BLASSREITER is still available on CR,... | | |
| 2:29pm | BOST TV Gets With the Free Anime Program | | | | According to Anime on DVD, BOST TV– the ugly middle child in GONZO’s release of Tower of Druaga and BLASSREITER –has given up on making people who didn’t sign up early pay for the episode and is now offering the episode for free to everyone who signs up. (Those who already used... | | |
| 1:59pm | A Legal Alternative to Fansubs…Finally | | | | Well, as the title says we finally have a legal alternative to fansubs. Gonzo have gone for a simultaneous world wide release of the their two latest shows, The Tower of DRUAGA -the Aegis of URUK- and BLASSREITER. So why is this an alternative to fansubs? Well, Gonzo have teamed up with several online... | | |
| 12:02pm | GONZO Anime Premiere - CrunchyRoll |  | | | The Tower of DRUAGA -the Aegis of URUK- and BLASSREITER have premiered on CrunchyRoll. A bold new step for anime distribution for fans. | | |
| 8:19am | Flash Showdown: The Tower of Druaga Episode 1 | | | | I recently watched the premiere episodes of The Tower of DRUAGA -the aegis of URUK- and BLASSREITER on BOST TV, Crunchyroll, and YouTube to compare the visual quality and the placement of subtitles and also to see if they were shows worth following after the first two episodes. I decided to formulate... | | |
| 12:00am | BLASSREITER Parody #1 | | | | This is just the icing on the cake. Even if the show does go down the proverbial crapper, the parodies will live on. Gregory House: House here. What’s the situation. Random policeman: Uh, the patient has turned into a robot and is killing my friend. Gregory house: What, that’s impossible!... | | |
| 1:46pm | GONZO, Druaga, BLASSREITER, and whoa. | | | | I’m sure you all know GONZO has teamed up with some of the nastiest forces on the Internets (no not 4chan, they’re not THAT desperate) to get mad lootz. Yeah, Crunchyroll, Nico Nico Douga, Youtube, Bose. It’s apparently wildly successful. Holy. PATRICK! Well, let’s see their... | | |

| 1:02am | Impressions: Blassreiter, Tower of Druaga |  | | | Gonzo decided to broadcast two of its new shows, Blassreiter and Tower of Druaga, simultaneously in Japan and America, a highly unprecedented move I applaud them greatly for. Blassreiter, as I’ve mentioned before, is one of my most-anticipated shows for this season. Watching it in low quality... | | |
