| 11:24am | I Love the Smell of Kimchee in the Morning | | | | Words sure are complex things, and it's interesting to consider why we use one word over another.

I remarked to my mother-in-law that I was opting... | | |

| 10:35am | The Wimp Who Found Courage In Insanity | | | | Mirai Nikki’s a pretty screwed up manga, and I mean it in a good sense. It’s not the plot that’s screwed up, but rather the characters. Before, I thought that most of the players in the game had lost it except for Yukiteru, but in the latest chapter, I’m convinced that every single... | | |

| 6:32am | 12 Days of Christmas Day 11 - Code Geass | | | | Code Geass was like the BEST Anime I watched this year. It felt even better than Haruhi herself! I thought I would dislike this Anime as it had mecha in it, but to my amazement it barely has it. It was like a Death Note but with better action and such. Death Note’s ending, though, was more sad... | | |
| 11:05am | Kurozuka Review - 82,5/100 | | | | From the director of Death Note, Kurozuka is Madhouse’s latest action series. This time, it’s packed with lots and lots of Japanese-styled horror, and comes in a package that just oozes style.
