| 11:59am | Winter 2008 / 2009 TV Anime Digest |  | | | The coming end-of-year means the end of several TV anime, but will also usher in a new crop of new shows to take their places (and timeslots.) Presented here is a digest of new anime shows scheduled to begin in January 2009, including premiere date, normal weekly airtime, and a brief synopsis of the... | | |
| 10:57am | CHAOS;HEAD - 09-10 |  | | | 第09話 「拒絶 rejection」 (Kyozetsu) While Ban, Momose, and Yua discuss the New Generation group suicide that involved the latter's younger twin sister Mia and how everything points towards Takumi, word of the sixth incident comes in from Suwa. | | |
| 7:42pm | Important Announcements |  | | | This is sort of a state-of-the site post since there's a lot I need to update everyone on:This has been a pretty brutal four month period for me because I've been studying and helping teach a class as well as doing some work on the side and blogging. Hopefully things will get a little better as we start... | | |
| 3:30am | Top Picks – Fall 2008 Anime, Part 2 | | | | Pushing this back a couple of days changed a couple of the winners and caused a few more categories to be added included one award that is my first award named after an anime - The Gurren Lagann Memorial Body-Count Award. I thought it was appropriate and I did make a comment a few weeks ago essentially... | | |
| 7:41am | Top Picks – Fall 2008 Anime, Part 1 | | | | While I still am hesitant to list my top five shows of the season, I realized that I was much more confident when it came to picking my other awards of the season. This first part deals mainly with the characters in the anime and the second part will focus on the entire show in general and the work... | | |
| 5:47am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 8 |  | | | [ Episode 8: linkage ] Whoa. There were tons of fighting in this episode! It was pretty much Sena and Kozue versus Norose for most of the episode with Takumi watching. Ayase also showed up to lend a hand at the end but it all turned out to be futile since the Noah II turned out to be fake and Norose... | | |
| 5:31am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 7 |  | | | [ Episode 7: realization ] So it seems everything involving the Di-Swords is starting to become a little clearer. The basic premise is that they are connected with delusions. Thanks to Sena, NOZOMI is confirmed to be an antagonistic organization that was already hinted at in the OP sequence since... | | |
| 5:18am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 6 |  | | | [ Episode 6: embracement ] Er, shockwave? What the hell was that at the end? It didn’t seem to be another delusion of Takumi’s since pretty much everyone experienced it. FES was totally freaking out while Sena and Yua seemed fine. The same could be said about Orihara and Rimi. Speaking of Rimi... | | |
| 4:52am | CHAOS;HEAD ep. 5 |  | | | [ Episode 5: guidance ] Okay, so…skipping all the technobabble (which, in short, is stuff that I really like to tinker with internally), FES tells Takumi about Di-Swords more in-depth. I have to say though, I couldn’t avoid thinking of the Matrix during some parts of this episode. That goes... | | |
| 5:00pm | Face Off: Mike and Ray Say ‘Bleh’ to Akane-iro |  | | | Mike: So I watched 4 episodes of Akane-iro last night. It’s really not terrible. It was actually pretty funny sometimes. I wouldn’t call it great; I’m not even sure I’d call it good. But it was watchable and amusing at times, though predictable. Ray: Did you find Hirano Aya’s... | | |
| 3:15pm | Chaos;HEAd Episode 9 Overview - jinx^10 x nova^40=Ir2 | | | | The terribly weak quality of Chaos;HEAd episode 8 shook my faith in the series to the very core and filled my mind with doubts. I swore to myself that episode 9 must do something about the recent stall in quality, or I would become a bitter hobo living in a box down the alley cursing Madhouse for the... | | |
| 2:25pm | Chaos: Head 9 - A weak, cowardly, Shinji Tyler Durden. |  | | | snapshot20081206222123snapshot 20081206222131snapshot20081206 222146snapshot20081206222155sn apshot20081206222202snapshot20 081206222216snapshot2008120622 2223snapshot20081206222353 So, how many people that have been following this show without having played the game already guessed? Well, silly me,... | | |
| 10:17pm | Newest Writer: Kaze No Honoo | | | | Hello all and sorry my late introduction. (Day late) Hello all and sorry my late introduction. (Day late) I guess you can call me the newest addition to the Yukan Team of Writers, Kaze No Honoo. My actual name is Klein, but I won’t go any further than that at the moment. My user name is actually... | | |
| 7:43pm | ChäoS;HEad, Episode 7-8 | | | | Considering the serious delay for this late entry, I decided to make a digest combined article for both episode 7 and 8. I will spare you from the usual long summaries, and will instead switch to a nutshell presentation and some comments. My apologies for such change, I believe it was necessary as... | | |
| 2:51pm | Some odds and ends - What I’ve been watching | | | | Not much has been going on lately and I don’t have much motivation to watch anything lately due to stress but mostly uninterest. Give it another week or so and I probably should be back to watching anime again, maybe. Anime is one of the last things on my mind even though I have mostly been... | | |
