| 9:06pm | When the Seagulls Cry #02 — Slaughter | | | | You’re looking crazier than usual, Maria. Impressions: Yes, yes. They used the game music a lot this episode. Please keep the dancing and inevitable wetting of yourselves in excitement in the corner. I guess this was a little bit better than last week, but without the random censoring livening... | | |
| 8:37pm | Catching up to: Saki (14) |  | | | My last post seems to have pleased Yuuki. My last post seems to have pleased Yuuki. And yes, I am liking this show a lot! So many surprises in this long spring season. I admit, I started watching this series with a mind to badmouth its flashy fanservice and apparently... | | |
| 1:25am | CI presents an Oi Hayuku Production | | | | A.N This was one of the last posts I put together over at Oi Hayaku before it became defunct, but I didn’t want everyone’s effort to go to waste and so decided to post it here. Digitalboy made a great video, but unfortunately I have no link for it, though the rest of the post is here... | | |
| 11:00pm | Yuri Manga: Red Garden, Volume 4 | | | | Red Garden, Volume 4 is 272 pages of blood, weirdness, violence and undead girls who look very fetching in that frock. As you can see clearly from the cover, Kate steps forward to openly take her place as the lead character in this volume. It's been apparent that, although the story is *said* to revolve... | | |
| 10:41pm | Vampire Knight Guilty - Episode Three |  | | | This episode starts off with Shiki not wanting to stay over Aidou’s house. Meanwhile Yuki is walking around Cross Academy thinking about Kaname said being a vampire. Yuki’s and Aidou’s path cross, and the two of them decide to stay for dinner at Zero’s dorm.

| 11:09am | Prostitution Rife in Japanese Schools, Prices Below $30 |  | | | Prostitution is said to be rampant in Japanese schools, with schoolgirls of ever younger ages selling their bodies for extra spending money, both to adults and amongst themselves. Prices for girls in elementary school are said to have dropped below ¥3,000, leading some to wonder what has and will... | | |
| 11:50pm | What The Hell Valkyria (Spoilers) |  | | | So I was watching Valkyria earlier and was very happy to see that it got a new OP. That is, until I realized how massive a spoiler they threw into it by showing that Alicia does indeed have Valkyria blood in her (enough to face Selvaria for the matter). It's a plot twist that wasn't totally... | | |
| 6:41pm | Canaan #01 — Recycled | | | | Gee. A lead character with magic eyes. I’ve never seen that from Type-Moon before. New Season Disclaimer: I try to watch at least the first episode of every new show in a season. However, do not expect anything I say to be fair or balanced. I value my own entertainment above all else and there... | | |
| 2:12pm | A Base Twist: Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven (manga) | | | | Before I start talking about the Eureka Seven manga adaptation, I’d like to explain what Eureka Seven is as a franchise. Eureka Seven was designed by Studio BONES and Bandai to be a sort of multimedia franchise that reaches out and expands beyond the normal frame of any single anime or manga... | | |
| 1:28am | Where is my real life Gundam movie? | | | | So whilst sitting through the loud, non-stop, eyeball popping, action-fest that is Transformers 2, it occurred to me. If we can make a movie that can make mecha look this freakin sweet. (If you say Optimus Prime doesn’t look kick ass in this movie then you are a liar). Why have we not yet gotten... | | |
| 2:52am | Basquash! episode 14 ~ When it truly begins…welcome back Basquash! | | | | Ignoring the gaping hole where I left off back in episode 8 purely because the series started to become all shakey which really affected my enjoyment of the it, it is good to see that this is the real episode since a long time where the series makes a strong comeback and proceeds to move forward at... | | |
| 2:36am | NEEDLESS #01 — Words | | | | Because it’s cheaper to put up a fancy font than it is to animate an attack. New Season Disclaimer: I try to watch at least the first episode of every new show in a season. However, do not expect anything I say to be fair or balanced. I value my own entertainment above all else and there are... | | |
| 4:32pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni 01: Ushiromiya Shonen no Jikenbo | | | | Just looking at the amount of tropes that Umineko and Kindaichi share has made me wonder if 07th Expansion got their inspiration from the latter. Not that it’s a bad thing of course, since, if anything we need more shows of the whodunit genre, and despite sharing similarities, I’m confident... | | |
| 1:10pm | Summer series 2009 Preview ~ Hope no seagulls are crying | | | | With the Spring season ending in a blink of an eye, we are once again back in the summer period and thus brings us a new batch of series to watch. Surprisingly, compared to last year there isn’t that many titles coming out this season (which is a blessing to some*points to self) with 18 titles... | | |
