| 3:21pm | Amatsuki Review - ✩✩✩✩✩✩ | | | | I really like Studio Deen. Sure, they may screw up their series very often, but when they hit a classic, they really deliver an amazing series. Their newest series to add to that list is Amatsuki, with the interesting thing being that even after watching it I’m still not 100% sure why I liked it... | | |

| 6:29am | 'Kemuri' (the ED of 'The Revelation') and the artist Makichang | | | | The first thoughts that crossed my mind when I first heard Makichang's Kemuri (the ED of The Revelation) were: i) It is the most musically inspired ED since Aya's Overnight for Le Chevalier D'Eon (which I wrote about in more detail here). ii) It would have been the perfect ED for Shimizu... | | |
| 1:38pm | Interview with Director Furuhashi on the making of Le Chevalier D'Eon | | | | There is a series of interviews with Director Furuhashi on the making of Le Chevalier D'Eon which is full of outspoken insights (or at least more outspoken then the typical PR stuff from staff and cast). The interviews are available in English here:ttp://www.productionig.co m/contents/works_sp/44_/s08_/0... | | |
| 12:03pm | Amatsuki - 12 | | | | In true Amatsuki-fashion, the big climax of this series (or at least the first half I’m still waiting for that second season announcement) is not about action at all, but instead about dialogue. And of course, it wasn’t just a matter of the tree being cut down by evil people, there seems... | | |
| 1:05am | Le Chevalier D’Eon シェヴァリエ Eps. 5-6 |  | | | Well, the good news is that this series managed to break out of its repetitive streak. Perhaps the writers noticed the formula they had been following for four episodes, and decided to put a stop to it before things got really out of hand? Even if it wasn’t a conscious decision, I’m glad... | | |
| 1:11pm | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 07 | | | | Really, this series continues to surprise me. When I first read the premise, I thought that this series would be something like Dennou Coil or Ghost in the Shell, but I’m still struggling to find a good series to compare this to. Real Drive has become much more light-hearted than I think anyone... | | |
| 2:02pm | Le Chevalier D’Eon シェヴァリエ Eps. 3-4 | | | | After having watched 3 episodes, this series has already become formulaic. That’s not really a good thing at this point. Here’s an example of a basic show: 1) Good Guys try to figure out Bad Guys’ next move, 2) Good Guys forced to fight a horde of Bad Guys, 3) Repeat. It’s not... | | |
| 2:03pm | Nijuu Mensou no Musume - 06 | | | | Spoilers up ahead! Let me repeat: spoilers up ahead! This is one of these episodes you need to have seen before reading such an entry about it, so this sentence is meant to fill up the blurb that appears on the blog aggregators with. I am SO glad that I decided to blog Nijuu Mensou no Musume. Because... | | |
| 2:58pm | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 06 | | | | To call Real Drive unconventional would be a bit understatement. When I went into this series, I expected a huge focus on technology and heavy terms, but the focus on Minamo ended up much bigger than I thought. This yet again was another episode without diving. In this episode, a book that Minamo’s... | | |
| 3:42pm | Le Chevalier D’Eon シェヴァリエ Eps. 1-2 | | | | Le Chevalier D’Eon is a series that ran from the end of 2006 and into the early months of 2007. It falls under the genre of historical fiction, meaning there are fictional characters acting out a story amidst real events and figures from history. The story takes place in the mid-1700’s,... | | |
| 9:17pm | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 04 | | | | This series continues to intrigue me, for some reason. This episode was clearly meant to flesh out the concept of “Metal”, now that the introduction is finally over. Knowing the director, and the fact that this is an anime-original story, just like Chevalier, I think we can expect lots... | | |
| 1:11pm | D.N.Angel Review - 82/100 | | | | Series that promise to be better in their second half are always tricky. You never know whether they can actually live up to their claims or not; it went well for series as El Cazador, Chevalier, NHK ni Youkoso and Full Moon wo Sagashite, but on the other hand, things went disastrously wrong for series... | | |
