| 2:07am | Why I Enjoyed Canvas 2 Anime | | | | Sometimes you read something from Kotaku and it might make sense.

By “objective” I mean... | | |

| 12:46am | Art post: Tan | | | | Generally, I post about artists that are more polished and finished, but for some reason, Tan (pixiv), who almost never finishes her drawings, really speaks to me. There aren’t any astonishingly creative scenes, nor highly detailed backgrounds, or any major technical feat. Instead, there is... | | |
| 9:24pm | Canvas 2 English patch~ | | | | Clap clap clap~ I’ve been interested in this game since my “OMG Naru Nanao is the most awesomest artist EVAH” days, but I never thought that an actual patch was coming out. Mainly because I saw a translation project where the translator was planning to translate as he played while... | | |

| 9:54pm | 48 Spring Anime -- full previews: story, trailer, cast, staff, pic | | | | These may be difficult times in the anime industry, but you couldn't tell it from the number of anime being produced.

| 11:19am | Canvas 2 ~Niji-iro no Sketch~ | | | | Canvas 2In a cookie-cutter world of bishoujo anime, sometimes there are a few series that surprise and amaze me, one of which is Canvas 2.

| 5:20pm | Asatte no houkou DVDs - Getto! | | | | Since the Asatte no Houkou DVD boxset appeared at my favourite anime DVD shop about a year ago, I’ve never stopped agonising over it. The hurdle? A prohibitive pricetag of S$160. I’m glad I held out for so long since I bought the boxset for S$95 today - a staggering 40% in savings. Reviewing... | | |

Though ToHeart2 and D.C.S.S. were, particularly the latter, sources of disappointment and unsatisfaction... | | |
