| 5:53am | Why I like Kyou but not ushio | | | | (And why I don’t want to watch Sayonara Zetsubu Sensei and Pani poni dash.)Everyone has preferences, and I happen to have certain ones reserved for girls.They do apply to characters in general, but since too many male characters are just clones of each other I usually don’t usually use... | | |
| 9:58pm | WAH on Toradora and H+C |  | | | He says that one cannot compare Toradora and Honey and Clover, because wait for it they target different demographics. Here’s my explanation why comparing the above is valid (any two shows in fact). I don’t care what demographics are targeted, I only care about what I like. So, I watch show... | | |
| 4:06am | Zyl on Aya Hirano |  | | | Hand of Glory: I’m not a fan of Aya Hirano. While I think she’s talented, I’m just not swept away by her voice acting the way I am by, say, Shizu-sama or Maaya Sakamoto. That said, I have enjoyed her work as Haruhi Suzumiya (megalomania ♥) and Shizu Shidou (Ijimekko~~) but,... | | |
| 9:31am | Lightning Chess: reports back from a Code Geass (S1) marathon | | | | Wait, we’re not in sad girl in snow land anymore, Totoro. Er, Toto. Ah, where to begin? Such a scope really begins to overwhelm me, sort of like how power (and revenge, and table-humping yuri urges) did to many of the characters in Code Geass. And I’m only halfway home so far – somehow... | | |
| 12:18pm | Shopping in Akihabara |  | | | Member meronpan goes on a spending spree in Akihabara and shows us his goodies with more details at kare no burogu. I remember the first few times I went to Akihabara - spend most of my money in one visit! Back in those days, there wasn't really any more stuff (over 15 years ago) and I spent most... | | |

| 5:12am | Toradora 12 |  | | | At first broadcast season’s end, Toradora, not to put too fine a point at it, is a consistently excellent show — at what it does. However, as it focuses like a laser on teenage love, its scope stays narrow, and thus it does not deliver what I would like. If we look at, for example, original... | | |
| 11:33am | Anime Sales Rankings Feb. 6 - Clannad & Macross On Top |  | | | These are the sales rankings for anime DVDs as compiled by Oricon for the week of Feb. 6 2009. In addition, the much longed for availability of BD sales rankings is slowly arriving, albeit still lacking exact sales numbers and being reported with a significant delay. It has been some time since we... | | |
| 11:58pm | Maria Holic - 07 |  | | | Zetsubou shita! Summary: Kanako has difficulty convincing her friends that she did not steal Honoka’s underwear, but Dorm Leader-sensei soon appears to reveal that it was actually Yonakuni that did. This saves her for awhile, but the moment doesn’t last when Kanako herself takes the bra... | | |

| 8:20pm | Never Fear ~ クリス is Here! | | | | Hello thar! It’s been a while I know. I spent a couple weeks in Tokyo last month and have since been finding ways to raise some cash in hopes of returning for a bit in March. I still haven’t found a full time job yet, so you can imagine things have been a bit of a pain in the ass. Tokyo... | | |
