| 6:30pm | Most blogged at Ani-nouto in 2009 |  | | | The unbeatable champion The legend for all times. While testing archives[1], I found an old post, mostly dealing with the surprising hold ef had on my imagination. With ef firmly in the past, sounds like a perfect opportunity for a little side-by-side.Feb 2008Sep 2009deltaef2643+17Lucky star... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Groups G & H, Day 4″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: (Ritsu and Ushio tied) and Miyako. I smell conspiracy! Just two days ago Haruhi and Eruruu tied for first. And why KyoAni characters of all people. Ah well, as long as Ushio is still hanging in there, I’m good to go. But still, there’s no excuse for the low voter turnout. Anyway,... | | |
| 12:14am | Bakemonogatari – Sengoku Snake Arc |  | | | I do have to admit that one of the main reasons why I loved this arc was Sengoku was extremely cute. I mean VERY freaking cute, I watched her OP several times…Anyways, and there are other reasons why I liked this arc though. There was Sengoku….I mean, there were some interesting things going on.... | | |
| 2:36am | And they say it’s just the Chinese… | | | | Don’t you DARE try to say that this doesn’t look like it was ripped from Ef. The uniforms are similar, and that girl on the top left hand corner looks to be practically a carbon copy of Mizuki. PLUS, it’s advertising how it’s told from 5 different perspectives with 5 different... | | |

| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Groups C & D, Day 4″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: Momoko and Hanyuu. Yeah well, all I have to say is we better have some variety for the Top 8. It’ll be boring if only 2 series are represented. Good to see Hanyuu still alive. For the next set of matches, I’m sure Hinagiku will have a real tough time pulling a win against those... | | |
| 2:28pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Groups A & B, Day 4″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: Utau and Nagi. So Nagi pulls through even with the disappointing number of votes received. Actually participation in both matches was just awfully low. No matter, for today’s contest features Louise and two other high profile characters. Full results below Group A2-4 Results:1位 283票 (Hoshi... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Groups A & B, Day 3″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: Yuuki and Isumi. Saki and HnG continue to be as dominant as it were in the beginning of the tournament. Congrats to Yuuki for making it this far. Sad we have to let go of Kana after such a shocking upset in Round 1. Still, HnG fans must be very pleased with the performance of their nominees... | | |
| 4:03pm | Seas Slugs on Autumn 2009 |  | | | Now with the multi-author power! Kabitzin and crew take a look at the upcoming Fall, and it sure looks like a full season. Also, a perfect opportunity to comment. First of all, the international invasion is unfolding as planned, and now includes *gasp* Koreans! Openly basing on Chinese material is acceptable... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group H – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Saki, Nagi, Yoshika, and Miyako. Well Nagi sure enjoyed an easy ride to victory. For today’s matches, there are Saki characters in each of the following groups. A mahjong sweep is very much imminent.

| 4:00pm | On the Nature of Enjoyment (feat. Ange Ushiromiya) | | | | One thing that I’ve noticed as I read a lot of Western fiction and watch a lot of Japanese animation is that occasionally I have to pause and think about the nature of how I enjoy something. This frequently leads to bewilderment and confusion in both myself and others as I try to figure out whether... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group G – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Yuki, Eruruu, Mihoko, and Ushio. Look at Captain just dominate her group as if it was nothing. Very satisfied to see Ushio win. For today’s matches, I’ll be throwing in my support for Saki, although Yumi would be nice to have advance as well. Full results after the jump Group G-3... | | |
| 7:00pm | Moshimo ashita ga harenaraba Review | | | | もしも明日が晴れなら ば, if it’s clear weather tomorrow, is an eroge made by Palette in 2006. And it’s not just an eroge, it’s a nakige. 10 years ago, Hatoba Kazuki’s mother died, his father adopted 2 of his cousins who had lost their parents. The 3 of them bonded... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group G – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Henrietta, Haruhi, Touma, and Ritsu. Interesting how MM could’ve beaten Haruhi. Good to see Ritsu advance though. But seriously, what is up with Yuki coming in dead last in her group? Well anyway, seeing the next set of matches, Ushio has to win this round. I mean for her not to would... | | |
