| 5:52am | Mirai Nikki Licensed |  | | | Sorry I’m a little slow on this. It didn’t occur to me really becauss ANN uses the english Future Diary title. Haha, seriously? Tokyopop? I wonder how much they’d censor. I’m glad anyways. Now I can finally catch up on the danged series. I’ll still be waiting for my Soul... | | |
| 8:25am | The Fall Call: Fall 2008 Anime Preview | | | | I know, I know, I’m late– things have gotten very busy with my project. But here it is: your Fall 2008 anime preview! A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
| 9:02am | Strike Witches Review - 77,5/100 | | | | Well, it’s time to review the latest Gonzo-series. It really is a production-studio with its ups and downs: some of its series are amazing (Bokura no, for example), while at other times they screw up completely (Dragonaut). Strike Witches is a very strange combination between those two extremes.... | | |
| 10:05am | Himitsu ~The Revelation~ - 23 | | | | Short Synopsis: Two dead bodies are found at a love hotel. Highlights: SEARCH MY BODY Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,75/10 OMG! Now THIS is what I’m talking about! THIS is exactly why I like this series so much! Himitsu’s multi-episode arcs have always known exactly how to use their time,... | | |
| 10:24pm | 46 New Fall Anime -- full previews (story, trailer, staff, cast, etc.) | | | | With just over two weeks to go until the new season starts, it's time to think about what's coming. Tastes differ, but the shows I myself am most looking forward to are:the mysterious moe romances ef - a tale of melodies and Clannad - After Story the absurd comedy Hyakko (with Orikasa Fumiko and Hirano... | | |
| 7:09am | Mike’s Fall 2008 Preview Post |  | | | Time to jump on the bandwagon a little late. As I said the last time I wrote a preview post, I will realistically only end up covering 2 shows max. Still, I want to list all the shows that actually look interesting to my tastes, though that doesn’t mean I will blog it. (Some have already been,... | | |
| 3:02pm | New and improved | | | | Well not really actually. I just changed the look of the site. It looks better this way, right? The other layout was a little plain and a pain in the butt to work with. It was incredibly small. I like having lots of room now. This one just looks better I think too. So if you notice some errors around... | | |
| 4:12am | Mike’s Belated, Grand High Roundup of Summer 2008 | | | | AX 2008 and its associated coverage put the new Summer 2008 season on hold for me. I’ve finally gotten around to actually watching a few of the new shows, though, and these are my thoughts. (An entry here does not guarantee regular blogging later.) All impressions are drawn from 1 or 2 episodes.... | | |
| 9:39pm | Bokurano: … I really wish I could’ve died on the Earth I grew up on. | | | | I finished Bokurano this weekend, just as planned. 24 episodes in 5 days isn’t bad at all, as I’ve never been one to enjoy marathoning through anime. After all, I ended up needing nearly 2 whole years to catch up with 300+ episodes of One Piece, so, starting and finishing Bokurano in a matter... | | |
| 11:05am | Had to Comment on the Digital File Argument | | | | Trivia: Greg Ayres voiced Chrono in the ADV dub. I suppose I should have anticipated that, the day before a large convention, a firestorm that would spawn from Scott’s post on the divisive issue of fansubs with relation to Greg Ayres’ Anime Next panel but I was still a bit surprised by the... | | |
| 5:02pm | On the context of dropping anime | | | | One of the most difficult decisions an anime fan has to make is whether or not to ‘drop’ a series. For me, it’s often a snap decision; not really based on any objective criteria, rather, it depends on how I’m feeling at that specific moment. As a result, I’ll often make... | | |
| 8:09pm | Crystal Blaze - 12 | | | | Oh god, the creators actually did it! They actually pulled off a great ending as well. This episode was really good, and amongst the best of the entire series. One thing I’ve noticed with endings that they often feel rather lukewarm. I think that my opinion of this seems to change with every... | | |
| 3:32pm | Kishin Taisen Gigantic Formula - 73/100 | | | | Spring 2007 was a big year for the epic mecha-series. There were plenty of huge-scale battles between mechas, space-ships and other sorts of futuristic technology, ranging from amazing (Toward the Terra, Bokura no), to the entertaining (Gurren Lagann, Heroic Age) to the downright cheesy (Kiss Dum).... | | |
| 10:49am | Druaga no Tou ~The Aegis of Uruk~ Review - 86/100 | | | | Fantasy Game adaptations have always been a rather notorious genre, due to the huge amount of lazy productions. These series seem to think that “fantasy” means “lack of realism”, and where the end result is almost always an uninspired story about a young swordsman travelling... | | |
| 5:12am | Retroview: Gunparade March 1 | | | | So, at the moment, not much is going on. It’ll be a little bit before the new Amatsuki comes out, and Code Geass took a break this week. There are 3 other shows I am going to blog for you all, but I am not caught up on any of the three/haven’t seen them in a while so I’ll post on... | | |
