| 9:41pm | Why Kagami is THE girl of Lucky Star | | | | I actually prefer the anime designs over the manga character design.Who is your favourite Lucky Star girl? Must probably be Konata.

| 9:06am | Spring 2007 anime schedule: TOO MANY SHOWS | | | | This is a guest post by ByrnedHead, because I didn’t feel like doing all this.

| 2:32pm | Subs vs. Dubs: The Debate Rages… | | | | Hello again. I really haven’t posted all that much on this site lately, and for that I apologize. In fact, the last post I made when I was high on caffeine, low on sleep, and off-the-charts in paranoid delusions, and for that I apologize. (I removed it the day after, and I can only hope | | |
| 6:54pm | April Summary | | | | First of all: Woo! 200th post!! Second of all, this is another one of my end-of-the-month-summaries.

| 12:00am | Broken Angels Manga, Volume 3 | | | | Back in February of last year, guest reviewer Sean Gaffney had brought to our attention a series called Broken Angels.

| 12:00am | Hitohira 07 | | | | An excellent episode centred on the relationship between Nono and Mirei, the Drama Club president. Two fine seiyuu really acting: Kawasumi Ayako (Nono) and Yukino Satsuki (Mirei). This is the most I've liked Yukino-san since she played Ai in Planetes. Her crying in this episode is the best I can | | |
| 12:00am | January 2007 -- New Anime | | | | After three amazing seasons of anime, the season that starts in January may be a bit of a respite. But that's what I always think, and then the shows that seemed as if they would be ordinary turn out to be great. In January, I'm most looking forward to Nodame Cantabile and Les Miserables. These | | |

| 12:00am | Ninja Nonsense Anime, Volume 3 | | | | The second half of Yuri Hime "S" is as variable as the first.

The story begins with a girl walking in on another girl drawing a stick figure... | | |
| 12:00am | Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo Episode 1 | | | | Ureshiko (I love that name) is a magical girl that's gotten a little old for the magical girl game.
