| 10:57am | The post for the study of the adaptation of visual media | | | | Or just another post with scattered thoughts comparing the Genshiken manga and anime. Manga and anime spoilers abound. Fateful Encounter. In the manga, we were not shown how Saki and Kousaka met in university. The anime opened with her trying to pick him up but then having him recognize her as a childhood... | | |
| 4:56am | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 5 – Jan 11) | | | | A very light week of anime this week for me. I pushed my watching of many of the new winter shows into the current week so I could try to finish a few lingering shows of 2008 I wanted to get too before 2009 started. I was only partially successful, Shigofumi got watched finally but I still want to get... | | |
| 12:00am | Toradora: Slice of Life Frontier | | | | We Remember Love has lavished attention on Toradora! I think it’s the anime that has gotten more attention here aside from Macross and Gundam. I’ve even been one of the few fans that have taken Kitamura seriously. In the most recent episodes (13 and 14) Toradora! I believe has elevated... | | |
| 6:45pm | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 15 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume teams up with a bunny-youkai in order to get rid of an evil spirit. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) It’s really good to see this series back again, and I’m interested whether the second season will be able to top the first season. Unlike shows as Shikabane... | | |
| 7:34am | Winter Anime Impressions – Minami-Ke: Okaeri | | | | Asread animation studio has been raked over the coals by much of the anime fandom for their lackluster second series of Minami-Ke because it couldn’t compete with Studio Doumu’s first season. I think much of the vitriol was uncalled for because the second season was still better then most of the... | | |
| 12:43am | The 512,000th ‘Genshiken Was Awesome’ post on the interwebs | | | | I caught the first season of Genshiken in late 2004/early 2005 and enjoyed it. But it didn’t strike me as awesome. It didn’t exactly leave a strong impression on me; I had forgotten what happened in the first season by the time the three bridging OVAs and second season aired in late 2006... | | |
| 3:00pm | Shikabane Hime - 15 | | | | Short Synopsis: Makina again gets the chance to meet the ones who killed her. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7.5/10 (Good) Whoa, there surely have been some changes between the first and second season. Some were expected, others not, and both seasons now have their own advantages and disadvantages. Thankfully... | | |
| 8:12pm | Minami-ke: Welcome Back #01 — He’s a Witch! | | | | Burn the witch! Impressions: No real surprises with this one. I enjoyed the first two seasons, and I’m sure I’ll like the third. Unfortunately, while there’s always quite a bit to talk about, there remains very little substantive to be actually say, especially after 20 some odd... | | |
| 4:37pm | What happened to Kotori (Da Capo) fandom? | | | | Having witness the massive ranks of Kotori supporters back in the days of Da Capo (2003), I thought the Kotori-centric Da Capo IF OVA (released on xmas 2008 with the Da Capo boxset in Japan) would make a big splash in the anime community. It’s been more than a week since and there’s been... | | |
| 5:58am | My 5 favorite anime of 2008 |  | | | Although I only had time to watch a small handful of all the anime that aired in 2008, I enjoyed pretty much all the ones I watched. But of course, while some simply came and went, there were a few that really stood out and reminded me why I like anime so much. So I decided to kick off the new year... | | |
| 10:44am | Vampire Knight Guilty Ep 13- Why? WHY? Why does it have to end like this? |  | | | Zero comes to Yuki’s rescue. No, he won’t be taking any girls with him. I swear that this is going to be my very LAST post of 2008 and the FIRST post of 2009. Please bear with it. Argstupid. Baka Zero. Kaname just have to play mastermind and controls Zero like his worthless chess pawn in... | | |
| 9:20am | D.C.if Part 1 - Kotori goodness at its zenith | | | | This is a dream. come. true. It’s as if ZEXCS read my wishlist and granted ALL of them with overflowing abundance. Where all of the D.C. vehicles had failed in conveying the full, unadulterated beauty of Kotori, D.C.if succeeded. Finally, FINALLY, there is a vessel worthy of our eternal goddess.... | | |
| 8:00am | The 18th Day of Christmas 2008 - resolving resolutions | | | | Well, one year ago I made a bunch of New Year’s Resolutions of sorts, in terms of anime viewing, as to what I definitely most absolutely must had to see (or experience, or rave about, in a few cases) over the next 12 months. And while it’s apparent that the last year in the anime fandom... | | |
| 7:00am | Reverse Vampire’s Top 10 Anime Shows (And YES, the list is biased) | | | | CCS, anyone? The New Year has arrived! To end of 2008 (With so many ups and downs) and hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone living in this planet. Economy crisis, natural disasters, political crisis and global warming, GO AWAY! (Well, except for global warning. You can’t get rid of that.)... | | |
| 8:00am | The 16th Day of Christmas 2008 - The Works on the works of 2008 | | | | WARNING ENCOUNTERED A POST The Works on the works of 2008 - a little bit describing every anime I’ve touched Part 15 in the 12 Moments in Anime Countdown BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS 1: TL;DR IN SMALL BITS 2: EVERY SERIES IN A SHORT PARAGRAPH 3: RADIANT SILVERGUN REFERENCES NO REFUGE Akagi Show ▼... | | |
