| 7:48am | Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Full Metal Alchemist Reborn |  | | | The remake of Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Full Metal Alchemist, long anticipated, has just aired, and predictably has been greeted with great interest and enthusiasm. This episode begins in medias res, apparently intended more to introduce the many charismatic characters the series possesses. The next... | | |
| 6:04pm | Jigoku Shoujo - 78 | | | | Short Synopsis: A certain character’s father calls Jigoku Tsuushin. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) And with this, the Winter-season is really over for me. this was the second best final episode after Birdy the Mighty, but then again, when the entire season has been building up to this point,... | | |
| 1:25pm | Animelo 2008 BRD Day 2, Bullet Style | | | | (Somewhat) Chronological this time; the costumes are all pretty alright, nondescript, nothing to splooge over besides IM@S team all have long legs (or looks it) and look great in that otherwise strangely-colored outfit.So, day 2 is the command for LOVE.EXE -UNDER 17 | MOSAIC.WAV amirite. Plus bigger... | | |
| 2:25pm | Gundam 00 - Once More, with Feeling | | | | Despite the server problems I experienced yesterday, I ended up writing a ton of crap this week that has nowhere to go. I feel sorry for you to have to read it here. Twice so if you tried to make a comment. Anyways, yes, civilians. Noncombatants. Well, not the same exactly. But them darn things that... | | |
| 9:57am | Escape Mechanism | | | | There’s no real reason behind my selection of this picture, beyond the fact that I’m talking about Turn-A Gundam in this post. It’s nice to see a Gundam lead piloting something low-tech now and then, though, isn’t it? (Given what I could have chosen, be thankful.) Anyway, this... | | |
| 7:47am | Zoku Natsume Yuujin-Chou Review - 82,5/100 | | | | The first season of Natsume Yuujin-chou was basically a string of random stories about the lead character, Natsume, meeting a bunch of Youkai. The second season forms much more of a unity as Natsume’s development starts kicking in. The random stories are more connected to each other, and instead... | | |
| 7:58am | Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season Review - 77,5/100 | | | | Gundam 00 was the first long Gundam series that was split into two halves of about 25 episodes, rather than continuing for a full run of 50. In te end, it turned out into a decent series: it does the job it’s supposed to do, but it wasn’t anything really outstanding. The second season... | | |
| 5:31am | [Ascaloth] Final Critique: CLANNAD (TV) and CLANNAD ~After Story~ | | | | October 4, 2007. That was the day Kyoto Animation aired the first episode of a much-anticipated anime adaptation of one of Key Visual Arts’ most beloved story, the third visual novel released by them, CLANNAD. It was the first anime series I began covering on a weekly basis for RIUVA, and it was... | | |
| 1:54pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 Review - 95/100 | | | | The first season of Birdy the Mighty Decode was a pretty good series that however got held back by its own formula and never really hit any heights, and especially the male lead Senkawa caused quite some annoyances. Then the second season came, and surpassed it in just about every aspect. And I’m... | | |
| 12:42am | Top Seven Anime of the Winter 2009 Season | | | | About two weeks ago, I started penciling in the picks for the previous three parts as well coming up with the top shows of the season. In the time between the preliminary picks and the final picks there was a few shows that went all out to make me reconsider them. Changing my picks was most apparent... | | |
| 9:48pm | Random Wafflage: Spring Edition | | | | It’s token entry time! I have actually been meaning to post about a few other things, but I’ve not really had the time to get around to it. One thing I have been wondering about the value of me posting about is the upcoming Spring season. Honestly, for a season with so many new shows, there’s... | | |
| 4:28am | 2009 Spring Anime Menu: Boys Keep Out Edition | | | | Springtime is finally here (yes we’re late, don’t have to tell us), bringing with it a HEAPLOAD of animes!! ‘For You in Full Blossom’ is but apt to describe this season, with plenty of variety to cater to just about any audience. And since our beloved male chefs didn’t... | | |
| 6:44am | Top Picks – Winter 2009 Anime, Part 2: Genre Awards | | | | The first part looked at the characters within the show and now this group of awards (minus one misfit) looks at the series as a whole. I used many of the same categories from the 2008 best awards but I trimmed a few because there was not enough competition. For example, the category of best slice-of-life... | | |
| 6:25am | Top Picks – Winter 2009 Anime, Part 1: Cast and Character Awards | | | | If I was giving an award for best hair cut, the guy on the left would win.The winter season, as conventional wisdom goes, is one of the weaker seasons for new anime. Oftentimes this generalization has some truth to it but this time a combination of sequels to good shows and a handful of new hits made... | | |
