| 3:59pm | A tribute to November 11, aka Remembrance Day |  | | | Happy Remembrance Day to those who even know what this is. To be honest, neither did I until I decided to look up November 11 on Wikipedia, having heard it being mentioned once in the Incubus song “A Kiss To Send Us Off”, and then later in Darker than Black as a character name. Apparently... | | |
| 12:57pm | The arrogance of fansubbers: Why I’m late to the Gurren Lagann party |  | | | This post is obviously meant to be inflammatory from the title! I mean, there could be no other reason for using “arrogance”, could there? This post also obviously refers to every fansubber out there and not a select few who are concerned. Please keep that in mind as you read this post,... | | |
| 6:23pm | Persona 3 Gets Animated | | | | Now, I don't know how many of you dear readers are avid Japanese RPG fans, but I am assuming that at least a few of you have heard of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. It's really one of those amazing bits of story-telling that I love to come across. But enough about me, let's talk about... | | |
| 9:34am | Darker Than Black Staireo Self-Covers Review and Others | | | | For one, I wasn’t impressed with the OST of Darker Than Black, and thought that the mixing left the center channel at the back, if that makes sense. The result is a murky, old sound, which might have been deliberately done due to the nature of the animation, but in effect takes away from the | | |
| 11:01pm | The Anime Review #4 | | | | Blue Drop Ep. 2 I'm relieved the school aspect is still the most prevailing in Blue Drop. Not to say I'm worried about the sci-fi trappings lurking, well, beneath the surface, but it's really the experiences Mari has at her new school that interest me the most. Hagino is also fascinating... | | |

| 9:25pm | New season! (Genshiken 2! Ghost Hound!) | | | | So, as a new anime season rolls in, these are the shows that I have picked up (so far).Genshiken II: This was a given. I've been excited about this show ever since I learned that there was, in fact, going to be a second season. Somehow, I love this story so much that, although... | | |
| 3:40am | Top Ten Favorite Male Anime Characters | | | | Inspired by Briar’s post and other post. Alright, for those of you who know me, and have been reading my random, useless commentary, you’ll know that there is only one thing I live for: hot guys. So, am I really going to pass up an opportunity to indulge my inner fangirl by not raving about... | | |
| 4:05am | Darker than BLACK ep. 25 [END] + Review ~ 89/100 |  | | | [ Episode 25: Are dreams of the Shinigami a darkness darker than black? ]It took me quite a while to watch this episode but I finally did. At the very end of it though despite feeling satisfied in some way I had a hard time trying to think of what I want to say about | | |
| 1:47am | The ‘gem’ of the fall season? | | | | It’s been a while, not a very long while, just a while. First marking period ends this Friday and it’s getting a bit harry, tests, grades, projects, parent teacher conferences and all that jazz. And, my forensics’s season started and the novices are doing better than me. That’s... | | |
| 2:35pm | The Diary of Darker than Black’s Hei Revealed! | | | | I chanced upon this really black book just now. As I was flipping through and checking out the contents, I realised it belongs to the protagonist of Darker than Black, Hei. Here’s an excerpt from week 4: Monday I eated many many bowls of pig rice today! Happy happy. The stupid yellow fat boy still... | | |
| 1:00pm | Pride Comes Before A… Fall 2007 Previews: Dragons, Magic, Mecha |  | | | Now that the two main first impressions posts are over, I guess I can start to slack off or something. There isn’t a whole lot that I’m expecting in the shounen, action-packed side, but that might be due to how I don’t carry a lot of expectations with me when I watch new shows, unless... | | |
| 10:46pm | Darker than Black III |  | | | Well I finished up Darker than Black, and I’m not so thrilled with the ending. It was a bit disappointing I think. A really well detailed world was created, and it remains, but the ending didn’t really have much build up to it. There was no impact from it, and it utilized more of the little... | | |
| 11:34am | Pride Comes Before A… Fall 2007 Previews: The Tsundere/Tarzan theory |  | | | I saw the Shakugan no Shana movie yesterday before starting on the first episode of Shakugan no Shana II, and I’m glad I did. Aside from refreshing my memory on the whole series and whatnot, it also proved to be a timely reminder on why I’ve always adored the Shana series so much, and no,... | | |
| 10:48am | Anime Fan Service | | | | Watched the first EP of Goshusho Sama Ninomiya Kun [ご愁傷さま二ノ宮く ] and while it was funny for a while, the fan service seemed to take over the whole show. It was like 2% plot and the rest fan service. "Eyes" were bouncy and sometimes wet while pantsu was either being flashed on the... | | |
