| 7:16am | Eden of The East Finale=Gundam 00? | | | | Don’t know what the gg half time break is talking about with regard to Code Geass R2 comparisons, but so many parts of this finale made me feel like I was watching Gundam 00 without the mecha and with a different goal and a smaller scope that I’m wondering what the deal is:Ato SaizoJuizSelecao... | | |
| 8:52pm | Eden of the East review |  | | | Although it was one of the shortest anime TV series to air recently, I feel it’s definitely one of the best The story/plot of Eden of the East (a.k.a. Higashi no Eden) is one that’s not only creative, but it also makes a worthwhile commentary about the current political and economic status... | | |
| 8:32am | C.C. Oppai Exposure |  | | | Code Geass heroine C.C. appears in this tasteful official art, which is rendered either more or less tasteful, depending on your point of view, by the careful subtraction of clothes below Large versions. | | |
| 12:45am | The Recency Bias and How it Affects Anime Appreciation | | | | [Pic somehow related] I just finished watching a lot of shows in the past 2 months, as well as read a lot of manga.

| 8:31am | Valkyria Chronicles 9-11: Oh be still my stomach |  | | | The point of marching is that you are all in step, Ersatz Corpo Truppe Volontarie indeed. I have to say episode 9 was just as bad if not worse than the paper thin plot of Selvaria’s DLC. I Say this butter bar Karl is just another bed wetter like Johann.

| 7:00am | valkyria rips off minami-ke character, mai hime scene | | | | What I expected from Valkyria Chronicles was a half-way decent strategy anime (a less ridiculous Code Geass) crossed with Yakitate Japan (with insects instead of bread) with a touch of biology, botany, and bosoms (Selvaria’s, of course). What I got was a lightweight slice-of-life and quite poorly... | | |
