| 6:55am | Toradora! - 03:Puu~~re~~eh? | | | | “I am HAPPY !” 嬉しいな顔、ね? This episode featured Kushieda Minori,the hyperactive teen who has apparently been living her life a little too positively(Zetsobu sensei reference wtf?).Speaking of which,Zetsobu sensei was a real funky title to digest for me though.Ryuji spent... | | |
| 6:59pm | First-week Favorites -- Kannagi, ef melodies, and many more | | | | As usual, our worst fears have not been realized. Some people expected a second-rate season this fall, but there are lots of entertaining new anime in various genres.I enjoyed many of the first episodes I've seen, but the two that rocked my soul were Kannagi and ef - a tale of melodies.In ef - a tale... | | |

It’s the start of a new season, and there are some titles that I will definitely keep an eye on.

| 6:43pm | NYAF: Funimation Panel Liveblog |  | | | 2:42 PM: still gathering. I see fellow bloggers sitting across from me, they are liveblogging too. I wonder who they are? The camera is all set up and ready. 2:45 PM: a Darker than Black preview trailer is playing now. 2:46 PM: Adam Sheehan starts speaking. Commends fans for “honesty” (ie,... | | |
| 8:41pm | awa08: Funimation | | | | Aaaaand AWA has no internets. But never fear– speed gia and her smartphone are here! If there’s anything new in the FUNimation panel (or the Bandai panel after it), you can bet I’ll let you know. Unrelatedly, why are panel rooms so dang cold? ;.; The men of the hour just entered the... | | |
| 5:42am | Anime VS Manga |  | | | Many manga make it over to anime. Some of the results are good, some bad, some just plain average. I have not read the manga for Claymore so cant comment on the differences. Reading many comments about the anime version of Claymore, it looks like many preferred the anime adaptation to follow the original... | | |
| 3:09pm | The lovably stupid - Kou classed bishoujos | | | | Affectionately coined by Kabitzin to describe Saber’s charm (Fate/Stay night), it dawned on me lately that “the lovably stupid” describes not-so-uncommon a class of anime bishoujos - one that uses a sublter form of moe to entice tanukis. Though not cerebrally challenged (as the title... | | |
| 10:24pm | 46 New Fall Anime -- full previews (story, trailer, staff, cast, etc.) | | | | With just over two weeks to go until the new season starts, it's time to think about what's coming. Tastes differ, but the shows I myself am most looking forward to are:the mysterious moe romances ef - a tale of melodies and Clannad - After Story the absurd comedy Hyakko (with Orikasa Fumiko and Hirano... | | |
| 10:55pm | Claymore - Chapter 83 | | | | A Prospective ReunionWe start with a good explanation about their continent. Things make more sense now that we know the layout of the land. Anyway, Clare was already thinking of ditching the other two and going on alone. But, Miria already suspected this and one of the Claymore’s she sent is extremely... | | |
| 1:31pm | D.Gray-Man - Chapter 171 | | | | What Lies Hidden So, my guess about the secretary not being involved in the assassination is true. Still, all of this happened, because of Cross and Allen’s meeting. This means someone there passed information to central, maybe he’s one of those elite soldiers, could also be the same one... | | |
| 12:00am | Strait Jacket (OVA) |  | | | “Need a light?” -Terran Firebat Composed of 3 episodes, each about 27 minutes long, Strait Jacket takes a melancholic look into a world where magic and science coexist. Like a fusion between Full Metal Alchemist, D.Gray-man, and Claymore, the setting needs only a small introduction in order... | | |
| 9:18pm | Which Autumn Series do you want me to blog? | | | | Next up in the category of “ah, why not?”, I figured that it might be interesting to revive a little contest I held a year ago. Before the start of the spring and autumn-season of 2007, I ran a small poll where readers could nominate an upcoming series. The one with the most votes would... | | |
