| 12:42pm | August Summary | | | | Overall, I’m very pleased with this season. There were unfortunately a few series that disappointed this month, but at the same time there were also a lot of shows that exceeded my expectations about them. I think that the most notable of this season is that it’s the very first season in... | | |

To say the least, I had an awesome time but it’ll take me a while to gather all the photos and write complete coverage of my trip. So for now, I decided to simply share photos and info... | | |
| 9:48pm | Chi's Sweet Home: Chi's New Address - Episodes 13-36 | | | | It's been quite a while since I last sat down to catch up on Chi's Sweet Home, but now finally I'm back up to speed with the show after a marathon session of cuteness that could have quite possibly threatened the fibre of my being. Or something.To be honest, "cute" is pretty much the only word required... | | |
| 7:20pm | I Can Only Pimp So Much About Cross Game | | | | It’s so easy to let loose and want to shout “OMG YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!” when you watch an anime that’s so amazing, and you want other people to share in the joy of having discovered a GEM — like when I came across Cross Game and found it to be the BEST that Spring has... | | |
| 7:16am | April Summary | | | | I think that this is the first time that this ever happened ever since I started including ratings in these summaries: none of the shows I’m watching has a rating of 9/10 or above. But that’s logical since the only awesome show that continued from the past month was Hajime no Ippo, and that... | | |

Whereas K-On's posts have largely come in past few weeks.Another moe show, Saki, comes a distant second, with >40,000... | | |
| 10:46pm | Chi's Sweet Home: A New Home - Episodes 3-10 | | | | Some of the latest new episodes of Chi's Sweet Home get about as close as this series will probably ever come to powerful emotional drama - With the prospect of Chi being sent away to Hokkaido moving ever closer, Youhei's parents still haven't told him the bad news. Naturally, once he overhears this... | | |

| 10:11pm | Chi's Sweet Home: A New Home - Episodes 1-2 | | | | I don't think there will be much in the way of a contest if I assert that Chi's Sweet Home was the most adorable anime series of 2008, bringing us a cornucopia of brief episodes showing us the life of this sweet, trouble-maker of a kitten. So successful was its depiction of living with a cat that here... | | |
| 9:04pm | Spring 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Spring of last year brought about some awesome (and notorious) series, and this year’s lineup looks just as epic. Still a ton of crappy porno adaptations, but loads of new or manga-based franchises to wow us. Due to time constraints (also known as REAL LIFE DESU) we may not be blogging as many... | | |

| 9:54pm | 48 Spring Anime -- full previews: story, trailer, cast, staff, pic | | | | These may be difficult times in the anime industry, but you couldn't tell it from the number of anime being produced.
