| 10:36am | Ristorante Paradiso - 10 | | | | Ah, of course: for the conclusion, the creators didn’t just try to focus on the relationship between Claudio and Nicoletta, but also they’re going to try and give a conclusion to Luciano and his dead wife. This episode was much more about the latter, while the final episode next week will... | | |
| 7:55pm | Ristorante Paradiso - 07 | | | | Misleading previews are very misleading. Really, the first episodes showed the big climaxes of their next episode, and so with the way the next-episode previews are so forcefully inserted after the end of the episode, it really makes you create expectations for that next episode. So, let me ask why... | | |
| 2:25pm | Ristorante Paradiso - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Nicoletta finds herself a job at the restaurant. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) Okay, so my first impressions on this show are going to follow as soon as Eden of the East airs. It’s a bit of a strange choice to start blogging, but before I explain why, let me first hijack this... | | |
| 4:13am | Letter C | | | | And I’m back! We’re now onto the letter C. “C” is good letter. It gives us words like: cute, cuddly, composition, cluster, cats, crisis, comedy (okay, we get it). This alphabetizing is part of my “I Love Anime” spew. I select multiple animes worth mentioning- talk... | | |
| 1:40pm | 2008 Summary - Part I | | | | Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year. This time, I decided to split this entry in two halves, otherwise the list would simply become too huge. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, after Porfy no... | | |
| 2:30am | Crystal Blaze Review |  | | | What, an anime review? On this blog? It’s more likely than you think. Episode 12 was finally subbed and put on the Internet, after basically a three month drought. The ending, like the rest of the series, was decent. Let’s take a look at what makes this series tick Crystal Blaze... | | |
| 10:05am | Himitsu ~The Revelation~ - 23 | | | | Short Synopsis: Two dead bodies are found at a love hotel. Highlights: SEARCH MY BODY Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,75/10 OMG! Now THIS is what I’m talking about! THIS is exactly why I like this series so much! Himitsu’s multi-episode arcs have always known exactly how to use their time,... | | |
| 1:34pm | June Summary | | | | Well, the end of the month couldn’t have come at a better time, because it offered me a good opportunity to experiment a bit with my new rating system. What caught my attention is that the average score seems to be lower than usual, but that can also be because this spring-season overall has turned... | | |
| 8:46pm | Crystal Blaze Review - 90/100 | | | | Some great anime have a very detailed art-style with absolutely gorgeous animation. Others have a smashing soundtrack, performed by a famous composer. Others hired a cast of well-known voice-actors to perform on their characters. Again others put a lot of attention to their dialogue to make this... | | |
| 8:09pm | Crystal Blaze - 12 | | | | Oh god, the creators actually did it! They actually pulled off a great ending as well. This episode was really good, and amongst the best of the entire series. One thing I’ve noticed with endings that they often feel rather lukewarm. I think that my opinion of this seems to change with every... | | |
| 3:52pm | Crystal Blaze - 11 | | | | Talk about an excellent first half of a finale! 12-episode series shouldn’t have “calm before the storm”-episodes. It wastes a precious episode that could have been used so much better, and all these episodes to fill time until the next episode, when the big climax is going to happen.... | | |
| 4:10pm | Kaiba - 08 | | | | It’s been a long wait, but finally my beloved Kaiba is back. And what an episode does it return with! For once, Kaiba doesn’t appear in it at all, and instead it’s all about Popo, and how the bastards killed off his own mother to keep up his appearances. As it turns out, she once... | | |
| 1:38pm | Amatsuki - 11 | | | | For the past few years, I’ve been using AniDB to keep track of the anime I’ve watched. It’s got a clean look with a lot of options for statistics, and I especially like how you can assign priorities to the entries in your wishlist, which helps to give a clear overview over my huge... | | |
| 8:55pm | Crystal Blaze - 10 | | | | Now that’s an aftermath! I’ve lately noticed that a lot of aftermaths in anime after a big climax are relatively boring, where characters do nothing but angst and try to let the events of said climax sink in. It may be because I’ve seen things like these for too many times, but they’re... | | |
| 3:40pm | The Weekly Ratings Return… 6 June 2008 (as I forgot the Week Number). | | | | Due to the start of the holidays, I had to miss watching anime for a while and this prevented the weekly rating post from being written. As I caught up on my backlog, I got confused by the numerous series I was following. Like I’ll miss out on episode 6 and start watching 7, only realising halfway... | | |
