| 2:50pm | Bokura no - 16 - II | | | | Ah, so the previous episode was episode 15,5, while this one is the true sixteenth episode of Bokura no. And yet again, I loved it, as it comes with yet another shocking plot twist at the end. We start the episode with the news that the fact that Zearth is piloted by children has leaked out to the... | | |
| 10:28am | July Summary | | | | July 2007 Rankings As you can see, this section’s got a few new features. Someone requested to give out series ratings of the past month, and I decided to give it a try. Rating individual episodes was clearly a bad idea, but I liked the idea of monthly ratings, so I decided to let my rating system... | | |
| 2:00pm | Bokurano ep. 3 |  | | | [ Episode 3: The Secret ]I quite like GONZO’s take on things so far. Most of this episode wasn’t present in the manga but I felt that it was something that fits in well. I think it did a great job at introducing most of the lives of the children. Certain behavior and familial relationships... | | |
| 7:38am | 3000 Comments - What Fall-Show do you want me to blog? | | | | I was pretty surprised when I realized that I already reached the benchmark of 3000 comments in such a short while. Especially considering that it took me 16 months to reach the first 1500, and only four to reach the second 1500 comments. Last night, ap was the one who made it, on my post about Bokura... | | |
| 5:57pm | Bokura no - 16 | | | | Recap. Strangely enough, though, I didn’t mind it at all. It was the perfect chance to get a bit nostalgic over all the characters that lost their lives throughout the show, and it sure as hell reminded me why this is one of my favourite shows of the season. Especially seeing the first episode... | | |
| 1:39pm | I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn’t even matter |  | | | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is classy, gorgeous, ironic, outrageous, fantastic — all of that at the same time, and whoever disagrees with me obviously lacks good taste. Personally I don’t really think much of the Summer season no thanks to Spring’s prolific QUALITY that ensured anything... | | |
| 9:07am | Bokura no - 15 | | | | Seriously, I can’t believe I cried at the end of the episode. I was ready to call this episode a failure, when it spent more time on Ushiro’s uncle than on Kirie himself, and then it comes with such an incredibly mean plot twist! I’m still not sure whether it was incredibly cheap or... | | |
| 10:55pm | Bokurano 8-10 | | | | “Bless the martyrs and kiss the kids for knowing better, for knowing this” My Bokurano catch-up and my first attempt at a ‘guess the lyric’ challenge aimed at you guysit’s an album track from a double-disc record dating back within the last twelve years, which is the only... | | |

| 12:54pm | Bokura no - 14 | | | | And so, Bokura no has stopped being a case-based series, and it’s currently on its way to develop its storyline. While the main theme of the first half of the series focused on children, saying goodbye to their lives, this episode showed that the main theme of the second half will be: saving the... | | |
| 1:15am | Spring Anime Midterms |  | | | This is just my general thoughts on the Spring season thus far. If I knock your show and you feel offended, well I’d like to apologize in advance because you probably could beat me up in real life. Best of the Season Gurren Lagann - Gainax back on top, where they effing belong with this crazy,... | | |
| 2:04pm | Bokurano Ep.9 | | | | I think now, with the perspective of knowing with that the anime and manga definitely will be different, it makes judging Bokurano on its own merits easier. Some of those merits still don't sit well with me (the washed out colour scheme, the gangly CG segments etc.) but I can't fault the success... | | |
| 8:14am | Bokurano 12 - “Meeting a whole new world: Blood relationship” |  | | | With the demise of Moji, the “leader” of the children, the next pilot is Maki Ano, a girl who is adopted by her parents, where the father is in fact a mecha otaku. Despite her exuberance character for most of the series, the trigger of death impacts people in many ways. The near birth of... | | |
