| 7:04pm | Pixy on Erfworld anime |  | | | He proclaims that the world needs an Erfworld anime. The timing of the announcement suggests that Pixy saw the page of Wanda fanservice with GiTS-esque ruminations. I don’t think Erfworld brings much to the table. There was so much BAMF anime before, and bamfing into the middle of a brutal conquest... | | |
| 6:24pm | We Prefer to Call It Downsizing |  | | | Omigod, I see dead people! From Owen (yes, I really am quoting tweets): Akamatsu needs to up the ante and do a Rowling soon. such a huge cast begs to have some killed off by Fate eventually. I think that all the fanboys who were upset about all the recent (awesome) battling would go nuts if this happened,... | | |

| 2:29pm | Marie & Gali episode 1 review; Gothic Lolita Physics Lessons? | | | | So many bloggers seem to be covering series such as East of Eden, Asura Cryin’, Shangri-La, Ristorante Paradiso, I won’t bother adding my voice to those who are shouting into the void. But, I spotted the this strange anime called Marie & Gali who’s episodes are only five minutes... | | |
| 5:48am | Kabitzin on Druaga | | | | The simple joys of being a metablogger: you never need to write anything, just find someone who expresses your ideas better than you ever could and link them. The review at Sea Slugs articulates my annoyance with Druaga:Sword that accumulated over the season until I could not take it anymore and ripped... | | |
| 10:58pm | Tower of Druaga: Sword of Uruk Review | | | | Why you do this? The first Tower of Druaga season started off slowly, but gradually built up speed and had me super-excited for season 2. Although ToD: SoU was able to maintain some of what I enjoyed in season 1, it was never able to generate the same thrills or laughs. Other than maybe episode 7,... | | |
| 10:42am | Kabitzin’s March 2009 List | | | | Everyone slacks off sometimes, and for me it was last month. Between being busy and being out of town, I totally fell behind on Shikabane Hime and Michiko to Hatchin. I was strongly considering blogging FMA: Brotherhood, but Kungfucius has volunteered to take that series on now that he’s done... | | |
| 2:40am | Saki 01; Breaking Even | | | | The new season is here and so far I’ve only watched two of the new releases, FMA Brotherhood and Saki. I’m not a huge FMA fan, and while it’ll be fun to watch the series take the darker, more serious route that the manga did vs the first anime, I don’t have much to say about... | | |
| 1:00pm | Druaga no To - The Sword of Uruk - 12 [Final] |  | | | Jil faces off against Neeba to stop him from using the tower to destroy everything. Impressions: This episode was pretty good. However it was pretty much expected. Jil goes against Neeba, kills Neeba, everyone is happy. Although it was kind of an obvious outcome, it was still fairly interesting. I... | | |
| 2:48am | Tower of Mystery |  | | | This image (which needless to say is not from April 1st) seems to show the most high density country dwelling conceivable; if it is not a Photoshop, urban planners and realtors will have had much explaining to do Still, at least the view would be nice. The fact that Japanese urban housing is, as we... | | |
| 2:35pm | March Summary | | | | An interesting month this time. It featured a lot of very awesome finales, but also quite a few disappointing or lacking endings, unfortunately. What surprised me is that most of the shows whose endings went right are the ones who still have some sort of second season or OVA waiting, or at least whose... | | |
| 1:24am | Tower of Druaga: Sword of Uruk 12 (Final) | | | | Summary: For some reason, Neeba fires all the Tower of Neeba cannons at Ishtar’s place, and Ishtar fires back. Ironically, Jil gets a copy of the map from Gremica, before picking up a new sword from Kelb and a new shield from Ethana. When Jil’s party reaches the Iron Shrine level, Kaaya... | | |
| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |
| 1:15pm | The Tower of Druaga: Fatina & Kaaya Figures | | | | Gonzo’s modestly successful Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk anime spawns some appealing figure renditions, both by Alter, with the above Fatina being particularly nice; Kaaya also gets a rendition, below. Fatina has a removable cape and openable gun. Clearly sculpt quality and a striking... | | |
| 11:38am | This Season Has been One Big Letdown. | | | | Anime that tries and fails is still infinitely more interesting than anime that just sticks to the same old formulas, be it moe-mongering, robo-shouting or power levels. I just completed a marathon of Flag, which is by far the most visually creative and detailed anime I’ve ever seen. As I know... | | |
