| 4:56am | Impressions: On a whole bunch of stuff | | | | Okay, so I've been watching about five series at the same time. Which is really odd for me, since I used to watch one series all the way through and then move onto the next one. But lately, I've found that I don't enjoy marathoning series as much, and when I do I end up disliking it. So I thought I'd... | | |
| 1:58am | Le Chevalier D’Eon Review | | | | Watching Le Chevalier D’Eon ended up being quite a saga for me. Back when it when it was initially airing, I was really enthusiastic about the series and was watching it as fast as possible - until AnimeYuki’s “as fast as possible” became slow enough to hamper my interest with signs of... | | |
| 1:30pm | Dead Flowers, Red Garden | | | | One volume in and I begin to wonder which Gonzo made Red Garden. Is it the one that made Last Exile and Gankutsuou or the one that made SpeedGrapher and Real Bout High School? Cheap-shot mentioning RBHS, I know. I guess either way, Red Garden promises to be horrific, though obviously I pray for the... | | |

| 2:24pm | Le Chevalier D’Eon, Series Review | | | | Le Chevalier D’Eon scored well with me on a lot of notes in the beginning. The story borrows the setting of pre French Revolution Europe, uses the history and historical figures, twists them up, throws in zombies and wizards called poets in an intrigue filled plot. Sounds like it could be interesting,... | | |
| 11:44pm | Kiddy Grade Truth Dawn | | | | The DVD has finally made it though the post, so Here's some photos and screencaps. Not really a great deal to say since there's really no new scenes or dialog, just the new stills I mentioned earlier. The's a couple of short scenes of Chevalier in his office (the first one watching the news from the... | | |
| 5:00am | First Thoughts on Gunslinger Girl - Il Teatrino - | | | | As a huge fan of the original Gunslinger Girl anime, as well as the ongoing manga, I’m definitely very excited about seeing how this new season will turn out. The change of studio and cast obviously means the second season will be different from the first, but for the most part I remain pretty... | | |
| 2:38pm | 2007 Summary | | | | And so it’s finally time to say goodbye to 2007. It’s been another great year, and what way to close it off better than with the obligatory end-of-the-year-rankings and -awards. Like mentioned before, this post has turned out a lot bigger than last year now that I’ve had multiple days... | | |
| 8:25pm | Winter Season Preview | | | | The new season is about to begin, so I am having a quick look at what anime are coming out this winter. It looks pretty "dry" compared to the upcoming spring. Five (out of twelve) shows are either continuations or retellings of older series.At least, several series continue for the winter season (Bamboo... | | |
| 10:26pm | January 2008 Anime Previews -- cast, staff, pic, links | | | | The new season is coming up fast. The first new show, Ayakashi, has already begun, and the season gets fully under way exactly two weeks from today. As with most winter seasons, there are not a huge number of new shows. The Spring and Fall 2007 seasons had almost 40 new shows each. This winter season... | | |

| 11:09am | Winter Season Preview | | | | Whoa, this is one of the smallest seasons we’ve had in years! To give some numbers, this preview consists out of only thirteen series (I left out the continuations of the series that I haven’t seen like Ah My Goddess, Minami-Ke and Major, and yes, one day I WILL watch Aria). And yet, I’m... | | |
| 12:39pm | A note of various amateur animation-related videos | | | | 1) Colour me impressed by this amateur animation short called Animation Showreel by Keith Maneri, which features (among other things) the OP of Cowboy Bebop, ukiyo-e artstyle, American comic book artstyle, references to Samurai Champloo and other cinematic classics like Kurosawa Akira's Seven Samurai... | | |
| 6:23pm | Persona 3 Gets Animated | | | | Now, I don't know how many of you dear readers are avid Japanese RPG fans, but I am assuming that at least a few of you have heard of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. It's really one of those amazing bits of story-telling that I love to come across. But enough about me, let's talk about... | | |
