| 6:44pm | The Return of Kano Yui -- Wagaya no Oinari-sama, ep5 | | | | Kano Yui was wonderful as Momoko in Sumomo mo Momo mo. One of the most hilarious performances I've heard. She even won a (controversial) seiyuu award for the role.But since then, she hasn't had a really good role -- until now. It may or may not turn out to be a major role, but YunYun is funny and touching... | | |

| 5:45pm | Satoshi Kon - Why are you so good? | | | | After ages of having them recommended to me, and after ages of putting them off, I finally watched Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers and Millennium Actress, in that order.

| 8:45am | Anime Diet Radio Episode “L”–The Lost Episode |  | | | As promised, this is the infamous unreleased version of Anime Diet Radio episode 19.

| 9:46am | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 25 | | | | Yup, like expected: the entire success of this arc will depend on whether the final episode will deliver or not. Unfortunately, I’ve also been spoiled about it, so it’ll all depend on the execution. What I’m most curious about is the chairman himself. We know Kaiji by now and his... | | |
| 3:49pm | Cruel Angel Theses is a year old today… |  | | | and I have no one else to thank but you, dear reader. Has it really been one year? I can barely remember what it was like then, but I’ll spare you the usual wall of text that accompanies reflections like these — until after the cut, of course. What, you thought I was going to let up just... | | |
| 9:09pm | Soul Eater #01 — Robble Robble Robble | | | | Obligatory shonen post. Impressions: I don’t have a particularly good relationship with shonen stuff, as you might have been able to deduce. It isn’t helped by the fanbase. You can set your watch by the ranting about new shows. It’s basically a yearly ordeal where One Piece, Naruto,... | | |
| 8:09am | [Hynavian] If RIUVASIANS were Claymores | | | | In a week, I chance upon Ascaloth not once, but twice. I highly suspect that he’s the henchman of Tjhan for he constantly reminded me that I haven’t been writing an article for a long time.
