| 6:04am | Mike’s Fall 2007 Remainder Roundup |  | | | Between the three bloggers on this site, it looks like we’ve covered pretty much every major show except Shana 2 (none of us have seen season 1). This is my opinion on shows we’ve already covered: Blue Drop, Dragonaut, ef-a tale of memories, Gundam 00, Genshiken 2, and Mokke. You can read... | | |
| 5:40am | Yobi | | | | I started watching the first ep of Blue Drop not expecting anything, and was surprised to find myself kind of liking the directing for a reason that's hard to put my finger on. Everything about the production is lackluster, from the designs to the animation, but the directing has a kind of delicate... | | |
| 11:04pm | Blue Drop - 03 |  | | | Summary:The morning after the incident, an exhausted Mari gets up and blames Hagino over breakfast for talking in her sleep. | | |
| 8:00pm | Blue Drop Ep 02 - Torn between the sense of duty and that longing for love… |  | | | Man, Higino is very torn. She wants to make sweet love to Mari, but she tries to strangle her in the last episode, and now when she touches Mari, she writhes in agony. All right, all right, seriously. What this episode tells me is that Mari’s full name may not even be Watatake Mari. Not only... | | |
| 1:36pm | Hige vs. The Autumn Season, Part Three | | | | This is about as close as you get for me power-blogging. A brief perusal of animesuki alerted me to how far behind I am and if this feature is going to mean anything I have to pick up the pace. Any dips in writing quality aren't my fault; blame the punctual fansubbers and their ferocious work ethic.... | | |
| 6:33pm | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 02 | | | | For me, Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji has turned out into the best series of the season so far. There are other good series this season, but they all have their weakness: Mokke could have had better writing, the characters in Blue Drop are a tad too adolescent, Shugo Chara is too cheesy at times and Labyrinth... | | |
| 3:06pm | Blue Drop - Episode 1 | | | | Short Summary: In the first scene we can see a man and a woman sitting in an UN space shuttle. The man is worried but the woman says everything is going to be all right. After the death of her parents Mari Wakatake lives with her grandmother who is worried she can't take care of her grandchild anymore... | | |
| 5:11pm | Blue Drop OP Review | ![zeNIME [z for aNIME~] zeNIME [z for aNIME~]](/images/icons/blogs/zenime_z_for_anime.png) | | | HardCheese has written a review on the first episode of Blue Drop like the dashing wind.. So I shan’t make his efforts go in vain.. I’m going to give you the OP video of Blue Drop xD | | |
| 2:36pm | Blue Drop Episode 01 | ![zeNIME [z for aNIME~] zeNIME [z for aNIME~]](/images/icons/blogs/zenime_z_for_anime.png) | | | Yes, I heard that this series is about yuri, and that this series is about yuri is pretty much the main reason why everyone’s heard about Blue Drop. No, I am not watching this series for the yuri. It is just that other non-yuri factors that this series has gives it more potential than other | | |
| 9:30am | Blue Drop Episode 2 - “Sweet blushing Mari can be so wrong~” |  | | | The problem that most yuri shows, or yuri-inclined shows lately, is that they have a tough act to follow. Simoun, one of the best shows in all genres the past year, has redefined the genre to make it the icon on how to make a “good yuri show”. Even though Blue Drop is worlds apart from... | | |
| 1:43pm | Blue Drop - 01 | | | | Opening Sequence:OP: “BLUE” by SuaraThe OP sequence was played at the end of the episode instead. A really nice song and animation sequence to go match the song. | | |
| 11:02pm | I Watch Cartoon Porn for the Porn - Autumn 2007 | | | | I don’t know about you but I am shallow. Like a duck. Like algebra. Like sunshine raining downon uncovered SKIN THAT IS! But I don’t go so far as anime fandom, on the whole, goes. Character is a literary term as well as the thing it refers to. I like my PVC figures reasonably proportioned... | | |
| 8:46am | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 02 | | | | To give a quick rundown on why I’m not blogging the other series so far (emphasis on quick): - Bamboo Blade is fun but the black-haired girl is annoying. - Sketchbook had a boring second episode, so I dropped it. - Nougami Neuro’s mystery is so shallow that it can’t even fully... | | |
| 7:13am | Blue Drop - 01 | | | | A UN spaceship heads off for peace negotiation with an unknown group. At a undetermined future/other place, Wakatake Mari leaves the home of her grandmother and heads to Kaihou Academy - on the way she sees a girl with a whole bunch of birds flying around her. She fails to make a favourable presentation... | | |
