| 6:17am | quote of the day | | | | Hi, everyone. I’ve decided to do my MA thesis on Manga being a form of literature and the cultural impact it has had on the west.

| 8:40pm | Kurozuka -- Give It a Try | | | | I'm not much for violent anime, but the sleeper hit of the season for me is the unheralded Madhouse show Kurozuka. Even if you aren't into bloodbaths, this show just grabs your attention and runs with it. Give it a try.I'm not sure what genre this might fit into. Maybe it's a genre of its own: vampire... | | |

| 7:22am | Kurozuka - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: A violent killer visits Kuromitsu. Highlights: Production-values are less than in the first episode, but nonetheless gorgeous.

| 8:14am | [LWC 70] Planetes 04: Convenient Bastard |  | | | It’s striking to see how an anime as a well received as Planetes is takes recourse to hollow characterizations to get the job done.
