| 10:07pm | Hayami Saori: The Next Great Seiyuu/Singer | | | | Okay, I know I'm going overboard here, but I just saw the first episode of Wagaya no Oinari-sama, and I have to enthuse over Hayami Saori 早見沙織, who plays the young priestess Kou.Not only does she do an excellent job with her simple but important role, but she elevates herself to the top of my... | | |
| 2:12pm | Ghost Hound Review - 92/100 | | | | If you’re looking for a standard anime with a standard storyline, then you should stay well away from Ghost Hound. This is one series that tries to be different, and it’s at the same time after Shion no Ou my favourite series to have aired during the past Autumn Season. It does feature a bunch... | | |
| 1:21pm | Ghost Hound - 22 | | | | It’s strange. This episode was far from perfect. Like expected after the previous episode, a lot of things indeed had to be crammed in one episode. We still don’t know where Masayuki’s mother went (either that, or it was mentioned somewhere in a previous episode and I didn’t... | | |
| 1:57am | Mike’s Spring 2008 Season Prospects |  | | | The spring 2008 season of anime has begun! What will I look at this season? Looking back at my previous history at doing these previews, I notice a few trends:I’ve never been able to follow more than 3 shows regularly.There has always been one show that I badly misjudge initially. (Kimikiss,... | | |

| 3:18pm | March Summary | | | | And with this, the season is nearly over. There are still a few series left to finish, but they should close off in a few days from now. Overall, I must say that it’s been an interesting half year, and nothing like the spring-season that preceded it. It feels like there were less ground-breaking... | | |
| 3:37pm | Ghost Hound - 21 | | | | This episode was a rather strange one for a Ghost Hound-episode. It’s probably one of the quietest ones of the entire series, which is very strange with just one episode to go, and it ended with plans to dress Tarou as a girl. I’m seriously wondering what the creators have in store for... | | |
| 4:28pm | Kaiba | | | | I've been totally out of it lately in terms of animation, but I'll be awakening from my slumber quite soon, as Masaaki Yuasa's latest TV series at Madhouse, Kaiba, is going to be starting two weeks from today, airing on WOWOW. Hopefully I'll get to see it. If I do, maybe I'll be driven to blog the show.... | | |
| 5:00am | Ghost Hound: Miyako Counseling Peep Show | | | | I can only imagine the sorts of saucy introspective conversation that’s going on at this moment. Ghost Hound continues to impress. What it may lack in terms of being a crazy screw-you-up-in-the-head series (while I, personally, don’t think it lacks this, some do), it more than makes up... | | |
| 10:37pm | Ghost Hound 13-15: curiouser and curiouser | | | | An inevitable recurring thought that occurs with me while watching Ghost Hound is that of “is this show being odd for oddness’ sake or does it actually mean something?” I suppose this is going back to Hige’s astute observations regarding what makes a ‘pretentious’ anime but... | | |
| 9:29pm | Clannad Review - 85/100 | | | | Wha! Another series I had no idea ended so soon. The series of the past two seasons have followed an interesting trend of breaking away from the usual 26/24/13/12-episode-formats, with more series than ever with just 10 (Hatenkou Yuugi), 11 (Hakaba Kitarou) or 22 (Shion no Ou, Ghost Hound, this one)... | | |
| 2:43pm | Ghost Hound - 20 | | | | There are two episodes left, and we finally know the intentions of the “bad guys” of this series. Heh, it’s about time. There are basically two “villains”, each completely unrelated from the other. The first one is Noriko. In this episode, she basically talks Miyako’s... | | |
| 10:05pm | The customary in-between updates post | | | | In accordance with Hidoshi’s dislike for the term ‘meta-blogging’ used when writing a blog post about blog posts, I declare this to be a blogsturbatory one instead, in memory of the appropriately-titled but apparently deceased Epic Win. The spectre of Real Life loomed, I learned that magnolia... | | |
| 8:48am | Mokke Review - 89/100 | | | | Even though the season hasn’t officially ended yet, I’m pretty sure about my top-3 series of the Autumn-season. First place is obviously for Shion no Ou, Ghost Hound comes in second, and Mokke takes up the third spot. In a generally underwhelming season, these three series stood far above... | | |
| 11:46am | Spring 2008 series - wants and bins | | | | Whats with the randomahhh it’s spring ^^ Or not so much “bin” seen for me as I am the type who is greedy and wants to watch as much as I can, sacrificing a lot of other things *rolleyes* *cough* well, I have been wanting to write this for some time now and finally have some free... | | |
