| 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... | | |
| 9:09pm | Fanime08: Dark Horse LiveBlog | | | | I got a little lost on the way to Dark Horse’s panel but luckily for me it seems like they’re starting late. Whew! I even managed to get a power outlet. The other press folks are in the opposite corner from me; that must be why. Well, anyway, legendary editor Carl Horn is now setting up.... | | |
| 11:08am | I can’t be arsed to write a proper post so read these blogs instead | | | | There are a number of things I could do as a reaction to burn-out (if that’s what I have) but I think recommending new additions to my own feedreader is the most constructive. My answer to everything at the moment is “I can’t be arsed.” Do that post on Kurenai I promised to write?... | | |

| 9:48pm | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 05 | | | | This episode was strange Here I was, expecting a serious story about some freakish killer that was on the loose, after watching the next-episode preview of the previous episode. What I got was an episode that was way sillier than I expected. Episode five seems to be a popular time to insert a bit... | | |
| 12:28am | Battle Royale by Takami Koushun: Not-Quite-Senseless Violence | | | | I’m only 6 years late with this! I’ve just finished the original novel version of Battle Royale, which I quite loved. Unfortunately, I’ve been reading it for a month now, off and on, depending on how much free time I had at school to get some reading in, so I’m kind of rusty... | | |
| 7:17am | Crystal Blaze - 02 | | | | I’m really surprised with this series. At first look, it sounds more like a rather childish series with adult themes, but if you take a closer look, you’ll realize that this series is much more than that. I’m really surprised at how genuine this series has turned out, and I especially... | | |
| 1:34am | A quick reflection on life and anime | | | | Being a psuedo-student of Catholic theology back in college (I say psuedo-student because perusing a minor undergraduate concentration doesn’t make you a full student), one of courses I decided to take senior year was a course on “Death and Dying”. The course was taught by the theology... | | |
| 1:21pm | Ghost Hound - 22 | | | | It’s strange. This episode was far from perfect. Like expected after the previous episode, a lot of things indeed had to be crammed in one episode. We still don’t know where Masayuki’s mother went (either that, or it was mentioned somewhere in a previous episode and I didn’t... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 9:05pm | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 24 | | | | And another series where its finale has begun. So far, it hasn’t been anything amazing yet, but I never expected this series to deliver an awesome climax. For now, it was entertaining and without flaws; it was built up well, so I’m happy. The fights were entertaining, and the themes on... | | |
| 4:51am | Shigofumi: The Last Miracle Consented to Men | | | | This was a good episode, and probably the most “uplifting” of all Shigofumi episodes to date. It’s uplifting in the Bokurano sense, though, in that watching it leaves this bittersweet feeling flooding through you, in the way that only stories about death can. We see, in this episode,... | | |
