| 7:19pm | [LianYL] Goodbye Fun Times - Day 1 | | | | Juggling packing up of boxes of figurines and learning assembly code is really a tough task to endure. As I packed and coded, I started wondering. Since I’d spent 4 years on this hobby, each of the figurines I’m packing up must hold some special meaning. Therefore, I’ve created this... | | |

| 12:15am | Yakk! Deculture: A Close Encounter with Macross Frontier | | | | I discovered anime blogs only very recently. How recently? Spring 2008. I apparently missed out on the heyday of anime blogging where significant events and shows (that still have influence over current opinion) were written about and discussed. While I don’t deny this particular feeling of... | | |
| 7:25pm | Memorable Seiyuu Performance -- Koshimizu Ami in ep3 of Spice & Wolf II. | | | | Who is the best female seiyuu working today? Some people would say Kawasumi Ayako, others Paku Romi or Orikasa Fumiko, Kuwashima Houko or Sawashiro Miyuki, even Horie Yui or Kugimiya Rie. But I'd like to suggest a new candidate: Koshimizu Ami.Ami is only 23, but has been working as a seiyuu since she... | | |
| 6:05am | Eureka Seven: Decompression |  | | | There is much I could say in praise of Eureka Seven. I have already covered it from an allegorical angle, but what about the experience? How good is it as a show? There again, it does not disappoint. From the very beginning, which tantalizes the viewer with important story elements without making... | | |
| 12:00am | Remembering Love as Homage in Anime: Eureka SeveN x Mobile Suit Gundam | | | | [This post is infested with spoilers] Paying homage in the context of a media work is the recreation of one work of fiction in the context of another, with the referencing done as an ‘inside joke’ or an ‘easter egg’ for those familiar with the referenced work. Often this is... | | |
| 8:44pm | Eureka SeveN: Pocket Full of Rainbows | | | | As a pretty big fan of the original Eureka Seven anime, I was more than a little curious to see what would be achieved by a movie version of the show, especially considering the assertions that it wouldn't simply be a stripped down cinematic version of said TV series. Well, now I know what this movie,... | | |
| 2:12pm | A Base Twist: Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven (manga) | | | | Before I start talking about the Eureka Seven manga adaptation, I’d like to explain what Eureka Seven is as a franchise.

| 9:15pm | Unfunny Internet Meme Comics #6-36 | | | | You know, I’m half tempted to just repeat this weeks comics again next week, just with marginally different artwork. Then again a week later.
