| 11:52pm | T.H.A.T.’s Summer 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | Summer timeand the livin’s easy Since Impz has bailed on us for three weeks to go to some academic conference, the duty of creating the THAT Anime Blog Summer 2008 Preview falls to me. Thankfully it’s not a fall or spring preview or I’d have to kill him. This preview uses pretty much the... | | |

| 6:31pm | Porfy no Nagai Tabi - 19 | | | | Travelling-anime with random stories usually come in two categories: the saviour and the observer. The first one is by far the most common one: the protagonist arrives at a place where there’s some kind of problem, and at the end of the episode he or she has solved it. Examples of this are El... | | |

| 8:00pm | Yuri Anime: Noir, Volume 7 (English) | | | | What a really fabulous series Noir is. It's been years - practically lifetimes in fandom years - since I first watched this series as it came out on Japanese TV.

| 1:11pm | D.N.Angel Review - 82/100 | | | | Series that promise to be better in their second half are always tricky. You never know whether they can actually live up to their claims or not; it went well for series as El Cazador, Chevalier, NHK ni Youkoso and Full Moon wo Sagashite, but on the other hand, things went disastrously wrong for series... | | |
| 7:05pm | Allison to Lillia - 02 | | | | Okay, this is going to be the first series that I’ll be blogging for the current spring-season. At first sight, this series looks rather underwhelming when compared to the rest of this season, but as I watched this episode, I suddenly realized that I’ve actually got lots of reasons to... | | |
| 12:24am | Kimi ga Aruji de Ore ga Shitsuji de | | | | I had been just a bit tempted by the reports that KimiAru had some light yuri fan service but only finally picked it up after reading two sentences over at SS!AB - Kabitzin, I blame you! OMG what a stupid series. But the LOLZ, KimiAru haz it. Other than the influence of the Namako empire, I had also... | | |

As of a few days back my anime dealers just noted to me that a huge range of high anticipated figures came out for the US market. These figures include the Freeing Haruhi Bunny figure, Freeing Mikuru figure, ... | | |
| 12:24am | Michiko to Hatchin: Sexy Diva FTW! | | | | Moon Phase has a new anime listing: Michiko to Hatchin (website will be here, but isn’t up yet). After much googling, I was able to find the following summary, translated by me and Babelfish from French into English: After escaping from a maximum-security prison, the sexy diva Michiko meets a... | | |
| 9:42pm | Nadie, El Cazador | | | | Nadie let the man run down the ravine at full speed. A wake of dust that his feet kicked up from the dry riverbed trailed in the moonlight as he ran. He stumbled and kept going on all fours, using his hands, like an animal for who standing up straight asked too much of his spine. The sight and sound... | | |
| 5:47pm | Yuri Drama CD: El Cazador de la Bruja, Volume 2 | | | | My goodness, El Cazador Drama CD, Volume 2 is a cute Drama CD.

In the mean time, a review of an actual anime-related thing! Can you believe it?It's not too often I can call a Drama CD just about perfect. Kotonoha no Miko to Kotodama no Majyo to: Madrigal Halloween is pretty... | | |
