| 6:00am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 12 [END] + Review |  | | | [ Episode 12: Mission ] The End is Super Special! And so, CHAOS;HEAD has ended. That was a rather interesting fight. At more than one point I had no idea what the hell was going on. I didn’t know whether or not if Takumi was really getting skewered or not despite how the show loves to use... | | |
| 6:30am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 11 |  | | | [ Episode 11: Independence ] So Takumi has finally awakened and has become a badass. It’s about friggin’ time! I’ve gotta say his Di-Sword looks pretty cool. I find it interesting though that he is able to handle it so well. I didn’t see Shino being the New Generation criminal... | | |
| 4:37am | Chaos Head Figure Fail |  | | | The special figures accompanying the DVD releases of Shibuya carnage anime Chaos Head may not be too recognisable as the characters they are supposed to represent, but they are least faithful to the production values the show itself enjoyed. There is some painful copy accompanying the awakened (first)... | | |
| 7:24pm | Wonder Hobby Festival 9 Figma & Nendoroid Highlights |  | | | WonHobi 9, or to use its official name, “WONDER HOBBY FESTIVAL FOR YOU ! ! 9 ~featuring Figma and Nendoroid~” took place earlier today, and as its name would imply, an absolute bevy of the latest chibi Nendoroid and poseable Figma figures were on display for onlookers to gawk at. Collected... | | |
| 2:28pm | Clannad After Story 2D vs 3D Modern Art |  | | | In yet another find by fans, this image presents a scene from the latest episode of Clannad After Story alongside its 3D counterpart, much like the earlier comparison of Tomoya and Nagisa’s real life house. The fact that while watching the episode earlier this week my thoughts were, “What... | | |
| 4:13am | Letter C | | | | And I’m back! We’re now onto the letter C. “C” is good letter. It gives us words like: cute, cuddly, composition, cluster, cats, crisis, comedy (okay, we get it). This alphabetizing is part of my “I Love Anime” spew. I select multiple animes worth mentioning- talk... | | |
| 2:14am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 4: Music, Voice, and Animation Awards | | | | This show had one of the best pure filler episodes of the year.Or if I rearranged the words, the VMA Awards or the AMV Awards . It is certainly possible for an anime show to be good or at least watchable without stellar music, voice acting, or animation; however, it does definitely help. For example,... | | |
| 5:13am | Vote for your Favourite 2008 Anime | | | | Hy look, it’s anotehr Anime-Source survey (: I have a lot of fun with these. I especially like to see the results of what anime fans think. Especially since it’s selective to just recent anime. Well, you can head over to anime-source.com and look at the newspage to see how to vote. Or you... | | |
| 7:00am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 10 |  | | | [ Episode 10: Purification ] Gwha? Goodness, this episode was filled to the brim with stuff. Takumi is apparently a delusion created by Old Takumi and him having delusions shaves away at Old Takumi’s life. I don’t quite understand that but I suppose it makes some sense if you squint hard enough.... | | |
| 3:00am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 9 |  | | | [ Episode 9: Rejection ] Heh. So Rimi finally reveals herself as a Gigalomaniac. It’s about time, really. Though it was pretty surprising that Sena suddenly attacked Takumi because he created that iR2 formula. Crazy girl, you’re supposed to talk first and then act! Anyway, Takumi finding his... | | |
| 9:46pm | Top Seiyuus of 2008 -- Poll Results | | | | Koshimizu Ami's Horo in Spice & Wolf was the top lead female seiyuu performance of 2008. That's what your votes said. And that's what I thought, too.Male lead: Fukuyama Jun (Lelouche in Code Geass)Supporting female: Horie Yui (Minori in Toradora)Supporting male: Kamiya Hiroshi (Michel in Macross... | | |
| 4:47pm | 5 Anime Series that had a Great Premise but Ended Up Shit. | | | | In the millions of anime series that you’ve watched, you’ll probably have come across quite a few that got you all excited and steaming in your pants because they started out so good, so intriguing and so creative. The ideas were unorthodox, far-removed from the usual romantic comedies,... | | |
| 1:53am | CLANNAD ~AFTER STORY~, Episode 11-13 | | | | My apologies for such belated and condensed entry. Due to many circumstances (holiday, exams, umineko patch, etc), it was difficult to bring myself blogging again. Obviously, I didn’t drop Clannad at all (I won’t guarantee this for Chaos head, however). Here is a quick entry for episodes... | | |
| 6:57am | It’s not rain anymore, it’s a flood! | | | | The beta of Chaos head, the beta of Fate/hollow antaraxia, the patch of tears to tiara, and now, the patch to the third chapter of Umineko no naku koro ni! This has came out at the worst time. I have to worry about Chinese new years, exams, and a whole bunch of other stuff that won’t get resolved... | | |
| 4:41pm | RideBack Episode 01 - These Tears of Mine Are Tears of Happiness | | | | Like I said I would, I am now beginning my episodic blogging on RideBack, a show that appears to be a curious mix of Initial D and Toshokan Sensou. I mentioned that RideBack caught my eye the most out of this season’s selection, mainly thanks to its political aspects and more mature characters.... | | |
