| 6:52pm | The Order of the Black Knights have begun their U.S. invasion! | | | | It’s not news that Bandai announced they were licensing Code Geass. However, I didn’t think it’d hit me so soon! When I was walking around the mall, I happened upon an issue of Newtype on display near the counter. I took a step back and yelled “What are YOU doing here?!”... | | |

| 7:36am | Code Geass 24 + 25 season Finale |  | | | After about a week since the finale’s release in Japan, finally got around to watching the drama and battles of the season finale. In many ways, the last 2 episodes answer a couple of questions while leaving so many others unanswered or rather bringing up new questions! Nevertheless, it was an... | | |

| 11:35pm | Anime Expo 2007 Report/Rant | | | | Sorry that the report took forever. I still needed to set up images. That’s why. Well, this will most likely end up being the most detailed con report/rant of this year’s Anime Expo you’ll see. Keep in mind that this will be more ugly than the ladies that were invited to the early... | | |
| 9:30pm | A Note on Marathons: No More Code Geass Please~ | | | | orz. Some people only watch anime in bulk, others do it slice by slice. Bloggers tend to do the the weekly way for a wide variety of reasons, but I think sometime it’s good to do it the long, hard way. It has been a while that I marathoned something. This time? Code Geass. I’m glad I held... | | |
| 6:50pm | Depth, Elitism, and Whether Anime Needs Any Justification (Part 2) |  | | | Continued from part 1 A Personal Reflection on Otaku Insecurity I think at least part of the reason why so many fans insist that anime is “deep,” compared to American cartoons at least, is insecurity. I know, because I fell prey to it myself throughout my years as an otaku. American fans... | | |
| 2:49pm | iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia DVD 1 | | | | Ah, Xenoglossia, that show that’s fated to be remembered as that thing Sunrise produced between seasons of Code Geass. Well, that’s making the assumption that somebody (other than myself) actually remembers it - I’ve not seen the TV ratings, but I have been following the Oricon Anime... | | |

| 11:41pm | Is anime deep or just entertainment (or both)? |  | | | Since this interesting topic has come up on Anime Nano, I felt like putting my thoughts in too. The debate of whether “anime is deep or just entertainment” is a complex one. What is “deep” and what is “entertaining” can have different meanings to different people.... | | |
| 11:33am | Code Geass:Hangyaku no Lelouch - Episode Twenty Four + Twenty Five |  | | | Episode Twenty Four As the previous episode of Code Geass set up the conclusion of this series very well, episode twenty full lives up to the battle between the Order of the Black Knights, and Britannia. I liked how this episode showed enhanced Jeremiah almost returns to his old self, after being enhanced,... | | |
| 6:14am | Code Geass bishoujo rankings and survival statistics | | | | Code Geass is awesome. Personally, it is SUNRISE’s finest script since Mai HiME in terms of pace and unpredictability. It’s amazing how they managed to drive the plot with such a huge and unwieldy cast yet able to inject sufficient character development for endearment. SUNRISE represents... | | |
| 2:57am | Kemonozume #13 | | | | It's been almost a year since I saw the first episode of Kemonozume. I saw the last episode at the end of last year, more than half a year ago, yet I never blogged it. Why? I just didn't know how to write about the last episode, or about the series as a whole, so I kind of pushed it to the back of my... | | |
| 12:19am | I command thee… |  | | | Well, what a cliffhanger ending for Code Geass (C.G). Some of you might reckon its brilliant ending for S1, some of you might be hurling curses at Sunrise for such a stilted end. For me, C.G was a good, definitely above average series. Well, since the end of S1, I’ve been wandering what would transpire... | | |
