| 1:49am | Discovering Eureka Seven; mecha and dehumanisation | | | | In my previous E7 article, "Discovering Eureka Seven; subtext and pop culture", I briefly touched on the pervasive themes of war laced through out the series, going so far as to compare it to Akitaro Daichi's post-apocalyptic (underrated) masterpiece ".. | | |
| 10:56pm | Animage Magazine's 29th Anime Grand-Prix Results | | | | Japanese anime magazine Animage, as they do annually, launched a reader poll a few months back asking picks for favourite male/female characters, anime series, episodes, seiyuu, music, etc., and the results are revealed in their latest June issue. The results are pretty staggering, but on the | | |

| 5:49am | Discovering Eureka Seven; subtext and pop culture | | | | Unawares and unwilling, often the best anime passes me by. Deep down I think I always knew I would love Eureka Seven, but for whatever reason, like I said, it just passed me by. That is, until now. Maybe because itÂ's spring time; the grass is green and the leaves are greener, and IÂ'm just | | |
| 2:52am | Mission statement for the season | | | | As much as I thought I couldn’t be bothered with fansubs any more, I’ve been wowed by a small number of shows so I might as well list what I hope to blog on a regular basis in the coming weeks. There’s also a DVD backlog on my shelf too so expect more of that in the coming weeks. | | |
| 9:55pm | 16 April: The Winners and Losers Feature | | | | The Winners and Losers feature will be a new series of weekly articles that, well, explain who are the winners and losers of each week. WinnersGainaxFunny how people seem to think Gainax are a one-show machine. With the pure awesomeness of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan, on top of the recent Diebuster | | |
| 3:19am | Eureka Seven episodes 11-15 | | | | Before going into the review proper (which I c/p-ed from the one I wrote for AnimeUKNews.net anyway), I have to draw your attention to a format change on the blog. It’s called Water 3, designed by an extremely talented individual, the Undersigned - I hope you like it and if you | | |
| 8:40pm | Eureka Seven #1-50 [END] | | | | I am so happy I finally finished this series. I started it in December ‘05, and watched it so sporadically that I had only watched up to ep. 23 last month. Because of that, I decided to make March ‘07 the month I finished it, no matter what. I marathoned a lot, but | | |
| 3:39pm | Little Spontaneous Mini-Communities On Riuva | | | | This is a very interesting phenomenon that I’m sure also happens to most other anime blogs. When a blog builds up a decent archive of old posts, all of them can be found through google, particularly those with keywords of the uncommon kind. Fans of certain anime series who fervently google | | |
| 6:26am | Eureka Seven episodes 6-10 | | | | The second outing of Eureka Seven sees our hapless hero Renton at the receiving end of some cruel pranks courtesy of Eureka's three children that lands him in hot water.

| 4:10pm | 交響詩篇エウレカセブン Psalms of Planets Eureka seveN | | | | I was supposed to watch Eureka seveN last year, but I lost it. Now I bloody well regret it, after reading the manga. 交響詩篇エウレカセブン (Koukyou Shihen Eureka seveN), otherwise known as Psalms of Planets Eureka seveN, is a | | |
| 2:48am | First Anniversary GO! Warning, Long Post Ahead with Sentimentalism! | | | | I thought today would be a good day to list a few upcoming features for Riuva. Why? Today’s the official 1st anniversary of this website! It’s been a long one year with lots of interesting milestones. As I look through my 500++ posts, I feel all choked up with tears. Ok that was a huge | | |
| 10:32pm | Neon Genesis Evangelion - The Press Release from Hell | | | | Darkshaunz advises Hideaki Anno to set Shields to maximum.It’s no secret, no mystery that I am an outspoken Evangelion fan. No, not only that, I also partake in the franchise milking by purchasing Rei figures from her in winter clothing to her in a nurse outfit (how very unfortunate of me!). I... | | |
