| 7:11pm | Gegege no Kitarou and the Regional Cosplay | | | | Okay, I ended up intentionally waiting on someone else (who turned out to be ANN) to cover this because I wasn’t at all sure I was translating it right. But apparently the new Gegege no Kitarou film is going to have SIX different versions, one for each region of Japan. The difference is minor;... | | |
| 6:19am | The Roundup In Which I Fail At Being Timely | | | | Yeah, I know, I was supposed to get to this ages hours ago. Don’t ask. It’s a long story that involves a priest, a rabbi, a mongoose, a bar, and a very, very bad pun. Oh, and lest you fear that I’m devolving into all-round-up-all-the-time, it’s just a sad combination of recent... | | |
| 8:45am | The Riuva Anime Blog Awards: By Otaku for Otaku | | | | WOW I HAVE THIS GREAT NEW IDEA ABOUT CREATING A SERIES OF AWARDS FOR ANIME BLOGGERS TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT OURSELVES. VOTE NOW OK?? Not in anyway related to the other (inferior and less-meticulously organised) Animeblog Awards, the Riuva Anime Blog Awards: By Otaku For Otaku (RABABOFO) is a great platform... | | |
| 12:26pm | Hakaba Kitarou Review - 88/100 | | | | The original Hakaba Kitarou (later renamed to Gegege no Kitarou) was one of the original pioneers in anime and manga, even before the legacy of Osamu Tezuka. Ever since it was serialized in 1959, it’s spawned five lengthy television-series, eight movies and one live-action movie. The problem... | | |
| 10:31pm | Hakaba Kitarou - 03 | | | | The story for this week was rather bizarre Remember the little plant that grew from Dracula’s dead body in the previous episode? Well, Nezumi Otoko uses his breath to knock a famous singer unconscious and plants this plant into his right arm. After a while, the plant starts to grow and it consumes... | | |
| 9:15am | Hakaba Kitarou - 02 | | | | And with Hakaba Kitarou, my schedule for the winter-season is complete. Seriously, this season has proven to be awesome. Monday: Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino, Gundam 00 Tuesday: Suteki Tantei Labyrinth Wednesday: Wellber no Monogatari Thursday: none Friday: Hakaba Kitarou, Ghost Hound Saturday: Saiunkoku... | | |
| 10:50pm | Some quick first impressions: Spice and Wolf, Noramimi and Hakaba Kitarou | | | | Spice and Wolf So this is what you get if you hand an award-winning novel to an animation-company like Imagin: an authentic atmosphere, interesting characters, and a main female lead who spends nearly the entire episode without any clothes whatsoever and basically ruins the entire series. Still, I... | | |
| 10:26pm | January 2008 Anime Previews -- cast, staff, pic, links | | | | The new season is coming up fast. The first new show, Ayakashi, has already begun, and the season gets fully under way exactly two weeks from today. As with most winter seasons, there are not a huge number of new shows. The Spring and Fall 2007 seasons had almost 40 new shows each. This winter season... | | |
| 4:45am | Winter 2007/2008 Anime Schedule | | | | Reposted from ADTRW and MOONPHASE as usual (like the last two times I did it?). 11/22 Candy☆Boy - One episode long, broadcast yesterday, tagline is a joke about tsundere. 11/25 Strait Jacket ep 1 - SF anime with a gun and a robot and a frightening scriptwriting credit. 12/01 Kara no Kyoukai movie... | | |
| 4:40am | Current Anime Series Popularity -- Japan vs. Abroad | | | | I'm taking the simplest possible method of judging how otaku in Japan and outside it grade the current shows: current number of threads on 2channel vs. number of posts on AnimeSuki. This is more an index of interest than approval, but it at least gives us some comparisons. Actual Japanese TV ratings... | | |

For the group stage of the tournament, the voting starts from Group A until Group H.

| 10:30pm | 2007 Summer Anime Menu | | | | The Scrumptious Anime Chefs bring to you an almost complete list of this summer season's anime. With a rather large disparity in our tastes, we've included "Chef Chaff" in each of our preview, to give you an idea of what we think of the title. Don't forget to tell us what YOU will be watching.
