| 7:42pm | Yuri Drama CD: Haru Natsu Aki Fuyu: Gyakushuu no Akazukin-chan | | | | There is a difference between people who read manga or watch anime and "fans" of anime and manga. Fans want more than just to read or watch - we want to interact with the work, to spend more time with the characters, to be more *involved.* In part, this is why fans create parody art, fiction, comics,... | | |

| 9:56pm | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 14 | | | | Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me! Don’t get me wrong. This episode was really good; probably the best of the entire series. The plot finally got pushed forward a lot and the production-values were just better than they’ve ever been. But at one point, a brainwashed Sanae carries away... | | |
| 12:56pm | Open for Business: Okazu | | | | I'm home, I'm jet lagged and I now have *three* piles of things to review, not including the doujinshi. And the toys. What is wrong with us? We have an entire bag just full of "stuff." Omamori from shrines, character goods, gashapon, you know - stuff. I found all but four things on my "to get" list and... | | |
| 3:00am | Michael’s 2007 Diet Awards, Part 2: The Losers |  | | | So…what shows and movies deserve a place in the hall of shame rather than the hall of fame? Since I tend to give up on shows I dislike very quickly, it’s shorter than the winners’ list. But we’ve still got plenty to populate this, the first annual Diet Demerits! Wasted Potential Demerit: Hayate... | | |
| 2:38pm | 2007 Summary | | | | And so it’s finally time to say goodbye to 2007. It’s been another great year, and what way to close it off better than with the obligatory end-of-the-year-rankings and -awards. Like mentioned before, this post has turned out a lot bigger than last year now that I’ve had multiple days... | | |
| 5:00am | Impressions on a Year 2007: Happy Action Fun Time |  | | | Written by TheBigN This installment contains SPOILERS. I repeat, SPOILERS, so read at your own risk. This is also hella long, so again, read at your own risk. :3 With that being said, these are the episodes or moments in series this year that made an impact on me; the “definable” stuff. ... | | |
| 10:33pm | 2007: Year in Review |  | | | 2007 IMO was a interesting year for anime IMO, as I felt that it didn’t reach the hights of 06. Despite this, I thought that there was a return to anime that were based on manga, then anime being original. Best Male Lead: Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass) Runner Up: Li Sheng Shun aka Hei (Darker... | | |
| 1:03pm | Some El Cazador de la Bruja, sort of randomly |  | | | The other day I wound up watching two more episode of El Cazador de la Bruja. I would kept at it if I hadn’t gotten sick. As it stands i’ve only got a tiny bit to write about it. Go figure. Even worse, I can’t figure out what one of my notes here means. Crud. That just decreased the... | | |
| 10:33pm | Top Ten Yuri Anime of 2007 | | | | Writing "Top 10" lists is *always* hard for me. This year's list was especially difficult - while there are more Yuri characters and stories in general, there's less this year that can be identified specifically as Yuri. But I did want to get this done before I left for Japan, so here we go. :-)Let me... | | |
| 11:32pm | Yuri Anime: Noir, Volume 6 | | | | May 5, 2005. That was the date I reviewed the first translated volume of the now-classic Noir. And I'm *still* not done reviewing this series. lol Don't want to rush things, ya know? It's a testament to the genre's growth in the past two years that it's taken me so long to get around to Volume 6. (Check... | | |
| 2:23pm | Dennou Coil - A Circle of Children - 26 | | | | Ah, thank god. For a minute, I thought that the ending for Dennou Coil would end up rushed, but thankfully the series gets closed with one final powerful climax that nicely finished the series. Obviously, the ending itself doesn’t match up to some of the other series of the spring-season: Bokura... | | |
| 8:25am | El Cazador de la Bruja 25-26: What… that’s it? |  | | | Okay, I don’t know what the heck to say about this. My mouth is just hanging. I was stuck in university without anime for about two months so I was highly anticipating the last few episodes of the series I have been following and as for El Cazador that’s it? Well, I still won’t change... | | |
