| 8:15am | To Love-Ru Episode 26 END - Starting Over |  | | | Time for some R&R. FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! Okay well, it was a nice way to end the series even though they basically took the ending from the manga.

It’s kinda of annoying though in the anime since like “yes we know who they are... | | |
| 6:02pm | Soul Eater - 02 | | | | As for the series I won’t be blogging this season: - Kanokon: Obviously not. Please Xebec, I know that you’re good at adapting mangas and light-novels, you showed that with The Third, but stop picking out these crappy premises! - I apparently like Blassreiter a lot more than others do.... | | |

| 10:04am | More Watsuki Praise and a Criticism of the Fanbases | | | | Japan? We need to talk. Have a seat. It has come to my attention that you have shown a lack of appreciation for some of the finer members of your community. Among these is one Nobuhiro Watsuki.
