| 12:47am | Natsuneko on Magical Index 5 | | | | This comment I was about to add to Natsuneko’s post on Magical Index episode 5 grew so long I had to make it its own post. It may also be beneficial to reference my last Index post. Reply begins here Actually, I don’t think we’ll be seeing Imouto just yet. In the manga, after Index... | | |
| 4:47pm | Layering of guitars | | | | In a minor breakthrough for the guitar posts on this site, I have started trying to record over myself, allowing me to fake playing two guitars in accompaniment. Here’s a short example: Fade to Black (intro only) From the album Ride the Lightning By Metallica Covered by me Oh wait, this is an... | | |
| 6:10am | October Summary | | | | Okay, so since this list already is huge for this month, I decided to omit the OVAs in this list, along with series that have already finished and belong to the previous season, like Chi’s Sweet Home and Wagaya no Oinarisama, in an attempt to keep this list a bit overviewable (although I do want... | | |
| 3:00am | “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion” or “Enpsychopedia Britannia” | | | | It’s a time when Social Darwinism was the overriding philosophy of the strongest empire in the world. It’s a world where the British never knew their limits and conquered many nations with the help of giant robots. It’s a show which you can undoubtedly call “anime,” and... | | |
| 11:18pm | Autumn 2008 first impressions: ef - a Tale of Melodies, Tytania, Chaos;Head | | | | I wouldn’t wish illness on anyone but several days off work has allowed me to recharge my batteries a bit (despite living off canned soup and green tea for four days straight) and has done wonders for tackling my backlog. My two-episode rule still stands, which is a bit of a limitation: the subbers... | | |
| 1:50pm | Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - 28 | | | | Short Synopsis: Allelujah is found and this episode shows how the Celestial Beings go and rescue him. Highlights: Lots of different characters get a bit of development. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 We’re three episodes in, and I’ve got a huge question burning on my mind: what the heck... | | |
| 3:03am | Weekly Anime Review (Oct 5 - Oct 11) | | | | Busy week of anime – between the couple summer shows finishing up and the many new shows to catch, there was hardly time for much else. I’m pretty happy with the autumn season so far; many of the shows are starting off very well and there’s been a few that have even been able to surprise me.The... | | |
| 7:26pm | And Before VOTOMS There Was . . . | | | | There’s this mecha anime from Sunrise about the son of a white-haired absolute ruler. Violently disagreeing with his father’s regime, he joins a ragtag group of freedom fighters and becomes the hero of a rebellion. This is not, however, the noughties; this hero lacks limbs like noodles... | | |
| 9:44pm | Full Metal Alchemist Review - 85/100 | | | | Yeah, yeah. I’ve been blogging for nearly three years, I’ve written more than 300 reviews so far, and I still haven’t checked out the “big three” of anime: Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell SAC and Full Metal Alchemist. Well, at least I’ve got one of them down now.... | | |
| 7:38pm | Allison and Lillia - Final Impressions |  | | | I absolutely loved this series. There were so many things that were just great about it I found. There were almost two separate stories, while at the same time being very connect. It’s hard to explain that exactly, although they had this big connection and the characters from the first part played... | | |
| 7:00am | Snapshots: Casshern Sins, Rosario + Vampire CAPU2, Hyakko - 02 |  | | | To further make use of the Snapshots section, I thought it would be beneficial to showcase some of the second episodes for all the new series. Since neither Omni nor I have enough time to cover everything in full, I figured this slimmed-down format for the second week would be better than nothing.... | | |
| 6:51am | Old characters, new forms—gundam 00 s2 1 | | | | I still won't accept this as a gundam. What Gundam 00 must do in the second season is to introduce some real badass Gundam vs. Gundam matchup that has made Gundam SEED and Destiny so engaging. Season one didn’t really kick off for me until the Thrones arrived and Exia started to exterminate them,... | | |
| 1:23am | ef - a tale of melodies | episode 01 | | | | The autumn season has rolled around, bringing along a potential watch list long enough to leave one at despair. (heaven and Hell?) Of course, among the abundant choice of titles there were some i was anticipating more than the others, and SHAFT’s continued adoption of ef was definitely one... | | |
