| 7:31am | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 26 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume finds himself having to choose between Kai and Natori. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) Well, the creators did it, even though they had to stuff two chapters into only one episode. It makes a lot of sense to save this story for last, because it really forms a conclusion to the... | | |
| 9:18pm | Minami-ke Okaeri - 13 (Final) |  | | | The worried Chiaki. My final impression is included! Summary: Haruka seems to be troubled about something one day, which Chiaki brings up to Kana. Kana initially suggests that Haruka is simply worried about dinner and breakfast preparations, but the two sisters soon discover that this isn’t... | | |
| 7:58am | Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season Review - 77,5/100 | | | | Gundam 00 was the first long Gundam series that was split into two halves of about 25 episodes, rather than continuing for a full run of 50. In te end, it turned out into a decent series: it does the job it’s supposed to do, but it wasn’t anything really outstanding. The second season... | | |
| 8:12pm | White Album - 13 | | | | Short Synopsis: It’s finally time for the three concerts to take place. Episode Rating: 7/10 (Enjoyable) Well, talk about an anti-climax. This episode didn’t resolve anything and was basically one big “please watch the second season to find out what happens”. There’s... | | |
| 5:31am | [Ascaloth] Final Critique: CLANNAD (TV) and CLANNAD ~After Story~ | | | | October 4, 2007. That was the day Kyoto Animation aired the first episode of a much-anticipated anime adaptation of one of Key Visual Arts’ most beloved story, the third visual novel released by them, CLANNAD. It was the first anime series I began covering on a weekly basis for RIUVA, and it was... | | |
| 1:54pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 Review - 95/100 | | | | The first season of Birdy the Mighty Decode was a pretty good series that however got held back by its own formula and never really hit any heights, and especially the male lead Senkawa caused quite some annoyances. Then the second season came, and surpassed it in just about every aspect. And I’m... | | |
| 12:42am | Top Seven Anime of the Winter 2009 Season | | | | About two weeks ago, I started penciling in the picks for the previous three parts as well coming up with the top shows of the season. In the time between the preliminary picks and the final picks there was a few shows that went all out to make me reconsider them. Changing my picks was most apparent... | | |
| 2:41pm | Tytania - 26 | | | | Short Synopsis: We all know what’s going to happen: the end of Zalish. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) Call me crazy, but this was actually the best ending I’ve seen this season. Okay, sure it cheated a bit with a second season still somewhere unannounced, but it did exactly what it has... | | |
| 1:12pm | Druaga no Tou ~The Sword of Uruk~ Review - 80/100 | | | | The Sword of Uruk is the continuation to the surprisingly good Aegis of Uruk, which aired last year. It left us with quite a cliff-hanger, and it’s in any case worth the watch to see how everything plays out in the end. There are quite a few surprises along the way, but somehow the Sword just... | | |
| 8:45am | Tytania - 25 | | | | Short Synopsis: Zalish gets into trouble. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Zalish = GAR) Ah, who am I kidding? This show rocks. Just ignore my whining for the past few episodes: if it’s indeed true that we’ve only reached the halfway point of the original novels, then there’s plenty of chance... | | |
| 4:46pm | Da Capo IF 2 ~ DCSS all over again | | | | It must surely be intentional. When D.C.if 1 was released back in last Christmas, I hailed it as a most worthy vehicle of Kotori goodness; inheriting all the emotional poignancy, character charm and musical brilliance that was Da Capo season 1. Today, it breaks my heart to report that D.C.if 2 (released... | | |
| 5:01am | Maria†Holic ep. 11 |  | | | [ Episode 11: Offering to God ] God is a fearsome one. lol wasn’t expecting Sugita to be here. Great seiyuu choice. As for Father Kanae, oh god this guy is awesome. He’s almost like a less perverted version of Kanako except without the nosebleeds. Very delusional when it comes to understanding... | | |
| 7:52pm | To Aru Kagaku no Railgun Announced & Dated |  | | | The previously announced and much anticipated Misaka Mikoto gaiden anime, entitled “A Certain Scientific Railgun” (or something to that effect) has been dated with an unexpectedly early release, surprising fans. The anime will begin airing in October 2009; length is not mentioned, but the addition... | | |

| 12:19pm | White Album - 12 | | | | Short Synopsis: Rina reveals Yuki’s letter to Touya. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) Ah, there you have it. The whole reason why Yuki didn’t attempt to contact Touya was because she wanted to show him how much she has changed at her Christmas concert, and forbade herself to talk to him in... | | |
