| 12:52am | Fate/stay notes | | | | Personally I'm all for priests who serve God first, but 'whatever'. I was tempted to use a Slowpoke as my initial image, but given how late I am to this party it wouldn’t fit - not even a Slowking would fit. Slow-God-Emperor-of-a-Million- Worlds, perhaps? Anyway, Sir Lancelot, the... | | |
| 10:07pm | Le Chevalier d’Eon Volumes 4&5 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | About the Mangaka This is a collaboration work between Ubukata Tou, who wrote the original story, and Yumeji Kiriko who drew the art. This appears to be Yumeji-sensei’s first foray into manga, and she did a mind blowing job on the art. Ubukata-sensei however is no stranger, being the mind behind some... | | |

| 8:04am | RD Sennou Chousashitsu Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Also happily adding to the theme of “fooling the viewer”, which returned in quite a few series for the past season, is RD Sennou Chousashitsu, or Real Drive. The set-up promised to be awesome, uniting Masamune Shirou, the creator of Ghost in the Shell and Ghost Hound with the director... | | |
| 7:00pm | Zero no Tsukaima ~Princess no Rondo~ - 04 |  | | | Tifa comes to the magic academy and attracts everyone’s attention, including that of a snobby girl with a lot of power. Impressions:This episode was pretty interesting. Although it pretty much had nothing to do with the overall plot, I thought the basic story of some snob noble acting the way she... | | |
| 1:54pm | Zero no Tsukaima - Princess no Rondo 3: Return Of The Hero |  | | | Moving on with the backlogs. Seriously, this is gotta hurt. Then again, that may just be me complaining and bitching my butt out. But who cares, right? RIGHT?! If there’s a part of this ep that perfectly illustrates that:It’s something like this.So Tifa (as she wants to be called right now)... | | |
| 9:32am | Zero no Tsukaima PnR - 03 (Screens) | | | | ゼロの使い魔～三美姫 の輪舞 Episode 3 Title: "The Return of the Hero" "Eiyuu no okaeri" (英雄のおかえり) Impressions This episode focused primarily on Tiffania and how she journeys with Saito, Louise out of the forest back to Tristen and gets Welcomed... | | |
| 4:11am | Zero no Tsukaima 3 03 |  | | | Summary: Tiffania hasn’t left her cottage since four years ago when her elfin mother was slaughtered for hiding the young half-elf. Fortunately, Tifa also turns out to be the bastard daughter of the archduke of Albion; this makes her Henrietta’s cousin. When everyone gets back to Tristan,... | | |
| 5:22pm | Move Over Trixie, Mach Girl is On the Way | | | | The US may be going a bitSpeed Racer-crazy– the new movie, the new sequel cartoon series, the various western comic books and merchandise –but Japan is having its own response. SaiAni reports that a new spinoff project is in the works, and it’s titled Mach Girl. As you can see from... | | |
| 4:03am | Zero no Tsukaima 3 01 | | | | Summary: Apparently the Gandalfr buff doesn’t persist after death, and when Saito respawns he finds that his runes have disappeared. The war’s over, and now there’s plenty of time to angst about what this means for Saito and Louise’s relationship. Without the runes, the... | | |
| 12:40pm | Zero no Tsukaima 3: Princesses no Rondo 01 - service! |  | | | And of the good kind — meaning romance between Louise and Saito. Did my eyes and ears deceive me? Did this whole episode go by without a breast joke? Yes!!! While the end of ep1 may bring some concern back, I at least had a great time with this episode not worrying about a “reset”... | | |
| 10:47am | Zero no Tsukaima - Princess no Rondo 1: Seal of the Familiar | | | | Tanabata was shit, but I did pay my respects, hanged my “wishes” (which would never be fulfilled since wishing for a real, full-sized Gundam ain’t possible), then went to sleep for a whole 16 hours. Add in the ambiance of the rain, and it’s happy hibernating. No use asking for... | | |

The sound layer, which is about 15 mins long, starts with Norio Wakamoto (Chevalier) being Norio Wakamoto but, as with last time, Liquiy (Ikue Kimura) then arrives to much hilarity. She... | | |
