| 3:44pm | Tetsujin 28-Go Review - 85/100 | | | | After watching the new Mazinger, and realizing how well it was written I started to wonder whether the director, Yasuhiro Imagawa, might have created similar shows. After all, he also was behind Giant Robo, so he seems to have a knack for these mecha series. And it turns out that he did: in 2004 he... | | |
| 12:03am | Otakon 2009: When Guests Are the Real Deal | | | | Otakon 2009 was punctuated by a number of personal differences and changes in my life, not least of which were a new method of travel, as well as a variety of new travel buddies. It was also my first year at Otakon as a member of the Press (thanks to the existence of this blog), and while I can’t... | | |

| 12:00am | Creativity and Laziness: Four Fags Who Run Anime Blogs | | | | [This post is a product of my own creative bankruptcy and laziness ->] I take anime blogging to be serious business. I don’t mean it in terms that anything I write is of lasting significance to the world, literatrue, or even the anime industry, not at all. It’s just that I put in very... | | |
| 2:35pm | March Summary | | | | An interesting month this time. It featured a lot of very awesome finales, but also quite a few disappointing or lacking endings, unfortunately. What surprised me is that most of the shows whose endings went right are the ones who still have some sort of second season or OVA waiting, or at least whose... | | |
| 8:20pm | Casshern Sins - A Surefire Favorite to the Right Audience | | | | Casshern Sins is not for everyone. The show pretty much moves at one pace, and that pace is 'slow'. There is a lot of silence, introspection, and philosophical dialog. Ordinarily, this would make one assume the show is pretentious (especially since it has a lot of similarities to Texhnolyze), but it... | | |
| 5:23pm | Casshern Sins 7 - Walking Through the Empty Age | | | | Casshern Sins is like a combination of Texhnolyze, Kino's Journey, and Trigun in a brilliant and beautiful tone piece. This episode resonated very deeply with me and actually brought tears to my eyes. First things fist, the tower was awesome. As you may know, I love achitecture and crazy buildings, so... | | |
| 7:20pm | Casshern Sins 24 (end): What is Life Without Death | | | | Having been raised in the Christian atmosphere most of my life, I’ve always been taught that death is an unnatural thing in the grand design of God. It had no place in The Garden of Eden). Death is merely the unnatural result of our great, great, great, , grandfather’s sin. Eventually,... | | |
| 9:59am | Casshern Sins Review - 90/100 | | | | One of the most unique series to start airing in the past Fall Season was Casshern Sins: a remake of a super robot series that aired in the seventies, but one that went into a completely different direction with just about everything. The result is a highly stylish series with lots and lots of things... | | |
| 9:07am | Casshern Sins - 24 | | | | Short Synopsis: The finale of Casshern Sins. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) Yeah, like expected: the creators tried to stuff too much into this episode and therefore it lacked the impact it could have had, but let me tell you this: if the right time was reserved to make everything in this episode give... | | |
| 9:42pm | Casshern SINS #24 — Rocks Fall; Everybody Dies | | | | And somehow, it mostly works. Impressions: As much as it pains me to compliment this show in its eleventh hour, the scenes leading up to Lyuze and Ohji’s deaths were excellently done. Very subtle use of music and just open space to let their passings sink in without being heavy handed about... | | |
| 9:32pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 23 | | | | Short Synopsis: Birdy starts to search for Natoru. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) And so this series continues its string of utterly incredible episodes. Oh boy, it sure has set a incredibly high standard for the rest of 2009. It’s going to be interesting whether the rest of the year can produce... | | |
