| 5:02pm | NYAFF Double Feature - I’m Your Toy, Your 20th Century Boy |  | | | Why do we care so much whenever our favorite novel, comic, or cartoon is adapted into a live-action movie? After all, we already have the original version right there in front of us, and we know that something in the story is going to be lost when squeezed into a 2-hour-long flick. So why do we care... | | |

| 2:08pm | June Summary | | | | The interesting thing with this month is that yet again I had no clear favourites. There’s a bunch of shows that I really like, but there’s not been a series for me that really stood above the others this month. I think that because of this, the series that ended up as my number one position... | | |
| 8:25am | Why does everything I like have to be like this |  | | | The following image is what started this FANBOY/NERD RAEG rant: Gatoh Shoji, what the fuck are you doing? Why are you writing anime scripts instead of finishing Full Metal Panic? Why do you hate your fans so much? The last book was published more than a year and a half ago, and ended on a unsettling,... | | |
| 12:29am | The new Haruhi OP is ewww | | | | It looks and sounds like shit. It just can’t hold a candle to the original. Also, that isn’t Aya Hirano singing is it? Aya Hirano can’t sing too well either but at least she doesn’t sounds like a screeching old grandmother. Wait a minute it is Aya Hirano. Oh well, I guess she... | | |

| 3:44pm | Manga in Japan = One Piece |  | | | Manga in Japan appears synonymous with One Piece in much the same way that manga overseas is a shorthand for saying “Naruto“, if the latest manga sales figures are anything to go by. The collected Oricon Top 50 figures for manga sales through the first half of 2009 (shown below) give a... | | |
| 6:47pm | Tadanari Okamoto DVD box on June 24 | | | | Why do Gobelins films move so fast? It's an overgeneralization, but I often find the actions seem too fast to me. I love their work, and the action in itself is usually amazingly lush and excitingly choreographed, but the zippy speed is the one thing that nags at me when I watch it. I guess it's not... | | |
| 10:51pm | Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode Five | | | | This episode of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood was rather interesting as it introduces some characters of the cast, while also plenty of action and plot to the series. From a plot point of view, this episode has Lust, Gluttony and Envy using the people of Lior faith to cause a rebellion. IMO one... | | |

Much of this info is pulled from Fansub Wiki,... | | |
| 9:36pm | Full Metal Panic! Review - 82,5/100 | | | | It’s probably no surprise that romantic comedies are among my least favourite genres in anime. The reason for that is that 90% of the bunch just looks way too damn much like each other, is too afraid to go beyond the usual genre tropes, and/or just plain lazy. Nevertheless, I definitely enjoy... | | |
