| 8:55pm | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 02 | | | | As usual, the shows I’m not blogging this season: - I’ve heard many diverging opinions about the manga of Vampire Knight. The arguments against it say that the manga is just your average angst-fest, and how it’s nothing special. The only argument in favour of it that I could find... | | |
| 8:16pm | Spring Anime -- 10 More First Looks | | | | So far, Kurenai is the only show that I think might equal my top shows of the past year (true tears, ef, Blue Drop, Hitohira, Lucky Star), but this is a very broad season, with many good shows, several of which could develop into something great. I covered 24 shows in a previous post. Here are ten more... | | |

| 8:58pm | 49 New Anime: preview, staff, cast, story, pic | | | | As usual, what looked like a poor season is actually shaping up to have a number of interesting shows. Nothing so far looks like an instant classic, but there are always surprises. And with 49 shows (including OVAs), there could be plenty of surprises.Hirano Aya returns to anime in a big way, starring... | | |
| 2:51pm | Wellber no Monogatari ~ Sisters of Wellber Review - 87/100 | | | | Ah, Wellber no Monogatari. The show that scared away almost all its viewers in the first episode due to the talking tank. Still, this is another gem from Production IG, although it’s way rougher than series as Seirei no Moribito and Chevalier. The biggest problem with this series is definitely... | | |
| 10:25am | [Crest] Opinions on Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0. You love (not) Evangelion? | | | | Disclaimer: This article mainly serves not as a review per se but more of my opinions of the movie and Evangelion in general. A good knowledge of Neon Genesis Evangelion is quite necessary. Introduction Although my esteemed boss has beaten me to a review on Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0 in this pretty succinct... | | |

| 7:50pm | Kabitzin’s February List |  | | | I’ve caught up on True Tears, and the epic dorama of True Tears delights me as much as KimiNozo did. I also made a point to check out this crazy combat butler manga, and to me Hayate no Gotoku! feels kinda like a cross between Mahou Sensei Negima and He Is My Master. The manga art is middling,... | | |
| 8:18pm | Impressions: On a bunch more stuff | | | | Claymore: So I finished up this series the other day and after a lackluster first four episodes, all I have to say is: AWESOME. Seriously, this isn't a show that does anything really all that novel. It's got a pretty classic shounen fighting show format. The characters meet badass monster. Badass monster... | | |
| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |
| 2:05am | Le Chevalier D’Eon Volumes 1-3 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | About the MangakaThis 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... | | |
| 11:59am | For how long do they maintain the official websites of anime series? | | | | I went to check the Japanese official website of Le Chevalier D'Eon out of whim, and was surprised to learn that it was no longer maintained: http://www.chevalier.tv/ It has not even been a year since the series ended. Could the anime industry be so short of marketing budget as to be unable to... | | |
