| 5:48am | Let the Speculation Begin | | | | I was too busy cramming for my Japanese midterm to notice this for myself (and tut-tut, FUNimation, for not shipping me a press release), but AoD did: the new FUNimation Countdown promises an announcement on Friday at 12pm PST, the company’s first acquisition of 2008. It links to a thread on the... | | |

| 3:31am | So, the yaoi fans are out in full force. |  | | | From ANN - Japanese Animation DVD Ranking, January 30-February 5 (refer to the article for the chart) Ray’s take: Yep. Gundam 00 at number one. For a show like this where the main guys are invincible/lucky/girl-like, and the enemy are simply stupid/incompetent/argues like gays to be at the number... | | |
| 12:13pm | Claymore - Chapter 77 | | | | Miata finally starts attacking the awekened being. But, it’s to late now. Both Galatea and Miata are defeated. Miata really is strong.

| 6:51pm | [Ascaloth] The Meister Intervenes! | | | | Every other day, another war of words erupt across the anime blogosphere, and yet they never fail to entertain bystanders. In fact, regular readers of DarkMirage and THAT will be familiar with the recent interventions in their negatively portrayed articles on Mobile Suit Gundam 00 by the same source... | | |

| 3:28pm | Another Anime With Yuri In It: Touka Gettan | | | | I may not like everything I read or watch, and there are times were I am likely to be less satisified than others at the portrayal of Yuri in my chosen media, but that's not because I don't like Yuri. It's because I *love* it. This is the classic disease of fans everywhere - we love a thing so much we... | | |
| 4:18pm | Figure Review: Clare of Claymore, Let’s Play More! | | | | Horrible pun. This picture gallery is quite pathetic as well due to my having to use the really old and awfully poor Fujifinepix Z2 camera. Ancient followers of this blog will remember how my old galleries were taken by this camera and sucked more ass than a professional ass-sucker doing 24/7 workdays... | | |
| 3:20am | Episode 9: Summer is Over | | | | Claymore, worst ending ever, or punishment from God? A shockingly non-violent finalé makes us wonder, what was worth watching in summer of ‘07 anyway? Potemayo, says Ian. Is it the simplistic kids show it first appears to be, or a stunning critique of the current over-moé saturated market? We... | | |

Sigh…I’m so behind…this is going to go well into February now…Well anyway, for this category, Claymore won in nominations with 3, followed by Death Note and Nanoha StrikerS with 2.

| 5:29pm | The Hidoshi Q&A: That's Not Kanon | | | | (Okay, Blogger is doing weird things. If any of the words are run together it's the machine's fault and is not reflective of the intelligence of the interviewer or the interviewee. Well it could be reflective of the intelligence of the interviewer, but I'm not going to admit that.) Name: Mark P Tjan... | | |
| 6:17pm | My experience of True Tears - |  | | | And it sure as hell doesn’t involve crying. Maybe I’m an insensitive bastard. Maybe I’m far too stupid to understand. Oh and, I’ve never owned a pet. It is me or is it that harem/dating sim/graphic novel turning anime are getting desperate these days? Classics like “Snow... | | |
| 11:42am | Nominees in for ~Most ‘Started well but turned out shit’ show~ Vote Now!! | | | | Sorry for the lack of posts…I haven’t had the chance to manage the blog much lately, and I probably won’t be able to get Shana 13 done by tomorrow.
