| 2:42pm | Muteki na Fujoshi: 801-chan’s Small Anime Revival | | | | Months ago I reported on the fact that the popular Japanese webcomic turned franchise Tonari no 801-chan, about a hardcore fujoshi and her otaku boyfriend, was getting an anime and later that the anime was getting scrapped. Well now it is back in the form of a 90-second opening-only anime titled Tonari... | | |

| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |

| 10:00pm | My Attention Leans Towards Ogiue’s Sweet Voice | | | | It is not unlike spicy butter. I’ve spoken previously about the fact that the Japanese special edition Genshiken manga Volume 9 came with a drama CD. What I haven’t spoken about is how it differs from the two drama CDs which followed it. The two drama CDs released with Genshiken 2 seem... | | |
| 10:35pm | There Are Still Ogiue Doujinshi at Comic Market | | | | Yes, despite Ogiue and Genshiken having nothing new to offer otaku this year, at least a few faithful acolytes are still keeping the dream alive.
