| 11:41pm | BLASSREITER #01 — CG Ahoy! | | | | "I think this show raises a pertinent question." "What’s that?" "Why did they make it?"

| 10:25pm | BLASSREITER - 01 - CGI Fails… | | | | How did Gonzo get Tower of Druaga done alright but not this. This show suffered from bad dialogue, a boring storyline and damn ugly CGI. Seriously, making it move faster doesn’t make it look any less ugly. To me this was a flop. I will probably not pick this up, but may give the second episode... | | |
| 10:09pm | Blassreiter Episode 1 - Prelude to Despair | | | | OP - none. I cannot wait to see what horrors Gonzo unleash upon the audience with one. ED - I don’t remember what it was, I was mostly sighing with sweet, sweet relief that the episode was over. Do I have to recap the plot? Do I really? This was no prelude to despair, this was just up front... | | |
| 9:16pm | Some quick first impressions: Kanokon, Blassreiter and Kamen no Maid Guy | | | | Kanokon Xebec has really fallen. Once they were a studio that brought quality-series like The Third and Hitohira, though this season their only focus seems to be fanservice. Really, I don’t know what’s left to say about these series in which the male main character suddenly gets loved by... | | |
| 7:37pm | GONZO Streaming Check-In! | | | | So, it’s been just over 24 hours since the first episode of Tower of DRUAGA ~the Aegis of URUK~ hit the Internets, and on YouTube alone it’s been viewed over 22,000 times. Back on Crunchyroll, I don’t know how many times it’s been viewed or downloaded, but the top donor for the... | | |
| 1:25am | The Tower of Druaga: “If you want to fight me, first you must defeat me!” | | | | Today’s image slightly smaller than normal due to BOST TV being unable to provide larger-size HQ video files. I can tell you, though, that there is nothing quite like watching the first episode of Tower of Druaga on your portable video-playing device whilst driving around the rural countryside... | | |

| 4:04am | The 2008 Spring Season Preview, Pt. 3 |  | | | Now ends our three-part 2008 spring season preview. I wouldn’t necessarily say we saved “the best for last” but there are some interesting ones in here that have caught my eye. Four of those being Itazura na Kiss, Amatsuki, Blassreiter, and Himitsu - Top Secret. My blogging choices... | | |
| 1:00pm | They Finally Get It - How Gonzo is About to Change Everything |  | | | Anime should be the poster child on how the internet changes the world. Here you have a very particular type of entertainment that solely originates from one tiny corner of the planet. It is produced by Japanese, filled with influences from the Japanese culture, and is created specifically for the Japanese... | | |

Code Geass was the best anime of 2007 and all, and Macross Frontier is well, Macross. Macross Frontier got a ton of bonus points when I found... | | |
| 1:28am | Anime |  | | | Next we take a look at some of the new anime shows for the next and future seasons.

The press kit that I got says that a new series... | | |

| 11:17am | Dragonaut - The Resonance Review - 62/100 | | | | There are basically two kinds of Gonzo. The first is Good Gonzo, which searches the borders of anime with new and engaging concepts, and which delivered us series as Bokura no, Master of Epic, Red Garden, Gankutsuou, NHK ni Youkoso and Last Exile. Then there is Bad Gonzo, which consists out of a bunch... | | |
