| 5:54pm | NYCC08: Follow-Up Questions | | | | Okay folks, I can’t take any more questions except for TOKYOPOP now, because I’ve left the dealer room and I’m leaving the con after Tpop (trying to make a pilgrimage to Kinokuniya). That said, I did do my best to get answers to all of your questions: 1. When is Flower of Life 4 coming... | | |
| 10:05pm | NYCC08: FUNimation | | | | Sorry for the shittiness of the picture, I was in a bit of a rush. =P Sheehan told me there isn’t much new in today’s presentation, but here we go anyway! Adam Sheehan, FUNimation’s events manager returns for his panel-y goodness. Well, it starts out the same way as Sakura’s... | | |
| 6:54am | Nifty Darker than Black Interview Translation | | | | SakkaOnna has made a translation of the Darker than Black interview at @nifty, first part and the second part here. ——Start of translation——– @nifty (anime company) interviews Yoko Kanno about her work on the “DARKER THAN BLACK – The Black Contractor” OST – July... | | |
| 12:09am | Jason on Figure 17 |  | | | Daniel pointed me by e-mail to this nugget buried in a entirely too long post, which I skipped initially because I don’t care for Darker than Black: 2. Figure 17 doomed anime to be consumed in 24 minute bites. While Figure 17 wasn’t a horrible series, it had no business being a 48 minute episode... | | |
| 2:57pm | Spring 2008 Impressions: Light of my life, fire of my loins |  | | | You know what they say — when life gives you loli, you make lollipops an anime. what hardcore lolicons must look like to the rest of the world Or so would appear to be the premise of a show like Kurenai. Despite how the man on the street might have misgivings about the loli aesthetic, I prefer... | | |
| 1:49pm | This is the first Kaiba post of any worth whatsoever |  | | | Here we go again. The misrepresentation of an anime during the quarterly season preview will always be a point of contention for me, but you know what? If you don’t know Japanese, or happen to have a vocabulary so utterly worthless in nature that you can’t write at length and cite specific... | | |
| 3:49pm | Cruel Angel Theses is a year old today… |  | | | and I have no one else to thank but you, dear reader. Has it really been one year? I can barely remember what it was like then, but I’ll spare you the usual wall of text that accompanies reflections like these — until after the cut, of course. What, you thought I was going to let up just... | | |
| 7:46pm | Itazura na Kiss, ToLoveRu, & Kurenai | | | | The face of rejection Continuing with watching anything with a “01″, I picked up Itazura na Kiss, ToLoveRu, and Kurenai. All which piqued my interest a bit. Itazura na Kiss is a romantic comedy anime, one of my favorite genres, so this one has a high chance of me continuing to watch. Also,... | | |
| 5:59pm | Darker Than BLACK (Episode 26 DVD Special) | | | | Darker Than BLACK released a DVD special episode last week (or a couple weeks ago, can’t remember exactly when), very much to the relief of many fans of this anime. What fans would love to see is a closure to the story and it is well within expectation when BONES released the OVA, hopefully to... | | |
| 4:04am | The 2008 Spring Season Preview, Pt. 3 |  | | | Now ends our three-part 2008 spring season preview. I wouldn’t necessarily say we saved “the best for last” but there are some interesting ones in here that have caught my eye. Four of those being Itazura na Kiss, Amatsuki, Blassreiter, and Himitsu - Top Secret. My blogging choices... | | |
| 2:30pm | Darker than Black ep.26 | | | | As I thought, the extra episode is just some kind of filler that happened between episode 14 and episode 15. It's like a flashback to the time when everyone was still together, similar to Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door, I guess. This means that if you're looking for an answer to the questions... | | |
| 3:18pm | March Summary | | | | And with this, the season is nearly over. There are still a few series left to finish, but they should close off in a few days from now. Overall, I must say that it’s been an interesting half year, and nothing like the spring-season that preceded it. It feels like there were less ground-breaking... | | |
| 3:59pm | Random Musings - Being Swamped And Sick Sucks |  | | | The Spring Preview is 95% done, but I'm about to fall over because of a cold and have a meeting in the morning, so it won't be until tomorrow that I finish it. It has taken me a lot longer than usual because there are a lot more series than usual (30 at current count, not including kiddie shows), and... | | |
| 11:43am | Darker Than Black - Episode Twenty Six |  | | | As episode twenty five of Darker then Black ended the series well IMO, this extra episode of Darker Then Black follows the aftermath of the previous episode, and this episode is more humour based. The humor in this episode takes on many forms, such as a female cat chasing after Moa throughout this... | | |
