| 5:10am | Megami #110 | | | | No we really know we’re in a new era on the timescale of moe anime - Megami put out an issue without any Strike Witches, Kannagi, or CLANNAD posters. It’s time for change! Actually I wouldn’t mind Strike Witches posters ad infinitum because I have a crushing weakness for cat/dog girls and there... | | |
| 7:12pm | More light novels, less 4-komas/KEY for KyoAni | | | | At least that’s the knee-jerk conclusion I came to after completing a thoroughly immersing Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody (Haruhi 2). Not my full sentiments but they underscore some KEY reasons (pun intended) why the last KyoAni production I enjoyed was Kanon (back in 2006). KyoAni has helmed these productions... | | |
| 12:56pm | aisp@ce: Glorified IRC | | | | Yes. I started playing aiSp@ce. Since about a few months ago. The first thing I noticed within the first hour of playing this game is: This game is freakin pointless. Its pretty and all and it feels like you are in anime world and everyone around you speaks Japanese, but it ends there. You change your... | | |
| 4:36pm | Roaring Tides/Uminari V2 (潮鳴り) ~guitar & piano~ - CLANNAD (クラナド) |  | | | A V2 of my cover for this song, now with better sound quality and 6 instruments. Well..actually, only 2 instruments, the strings and music box sound can be made using the keyboard, and since I don’t have a real bass, I used a 6-string one instead (bad idea, i know) ^_^ It has been 2 months since... | | |
| 10:19am | Difficult Cultural Nuances in Anime | | | | While it's fun to experience Japan through anime, I wonder how often some of the more subtle cultural nuances are difficult for viewers to pick up on. In the popular anime Clannad, there are two twins, Kyou and Ryou Fujibayashi. Although they were born just minutes apart, the oneesan (older sister) Kyou... | | |

| 8:51pm | MAD Friday : K’ON edition | | | | Although I find Yui to be developmentally retarded and the internet obsession with Mio a bit trite.I'll admit that I still watch and enjoy the show. It's slowly filling in the deep crevasse that Clannad dugand then healed.and then redug again with razor-blades, lemon juice, salt and a reboot plot. | | |
| 1:39pm | Seiyuu Surprises – Same Actor, Different Roles |  | | | Seiyuu, or voice actors, are one of the more recognized workers in the creation of anime, giving our beloved 2D characters the most obvious link to humanity – their voices. The names of many famous seiyuu are well known among the ranks of otaku, even more so in this decade than past years, but the... | | |

| 12:25am | The Stretched Out Wait, Full-screen vs. Widescreen Anime |  | | | As a person who likes watching his shows the way they were meant to be seen (therefore despising those anime dubs of the early 90s), I’m pretty picky when it comes to the aspect ratio of my favorite shows. I’m usually happy with the way my anime is broadcast and/or released on DVD, but... | | |
| 11:45pm | The Three Reasons the PS3 Has No Visual Novels |  | | | The PS3 has so far attracted very little of the huge array of visual novels available on the PS2, and it appears this is for a reason, according to a recent magazine report on the subject. The three reasons given are these: 1. The title needs to sell over 30,000 copies (visual novels can be lucky to... | | |
