| 7:07am | Ghost Hound 神霊狩 Ep. 7 |  | | | Okay, things are starting to pick up again. Despite the fact that the Homunculus is just a name for the way different parts of the brain interpret sensations from the body, that may not be true in the world of Ghost Hound. While Tarou is undergoing testing after his syncopic episode, he imagines himself... | | |
| 1:49am | Newtype USA Begins 2008 With Vertical Spreads? | | | | I just got this month’s issue of Newtype USA in the mail today and was a bit surprised when I began flipping through it. Among their regular two-page series spreads were eight consecutive vertical spreads (16 pages in total) that composed the Japanese half of their Anime Invasion ‘08 theme.... | | |
| 10:27pm | The Watch List :: Winter 2008 | | | | I mentioned that I wasn’t going to do Winter/Summer Priorities etc. I think the watch list is a good idea though. This season, I didn’t want a large pickup list, so I’m basically sticking to my roots with 5 series, most being single-season length (I think). .medi {clear:both;margin:8px... | | |
| 3:10pm | Ghost Hound ep. 10 |  | | | [ Focus 10: Affordance/TFT ]Ghost Hound has really been on a run these past few episodes. Last time we were given a brief fighting sequence and got ot see Tarou turn into his Ghost Hound-form and Masayuki use his “Weapon Select” command on the ghost that was chasing them. This time around... | | |
| 2:38pm | 2007 Summary | | | | And so it’s finally time to say goodbye to 2007. It’s been another great year, and what way to close it off better than with the obligatory end-of-the-year-rankings and -awards. Like mentioned before, this post has turned out a lot bigger than last year now that I’ve had multiple days... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 6 - Music & Voice Acting | | | | Up to this point the awards have mostly been silly and nonsensical. The final two days of our award show, however, will be a little different. We’re putting aside the random awards in favor of a few more traditional categories. Today we’ll be talking about the best the year had to offer... | | |
| 9:55pm | My Top Ten Anime of 2007 (I Can't Help Myself) | | | | Especially because my list will be so different from most others, I just can't stop myself from posting it. Some of these shows have clear faults, but their strengths more than counterbalance their faults, in my opinion. Happy New Year!1 Byousoku 5cm2 ef3 Blue Drop4 Lucky Star5 Touka Gettan6 Emily of... | | |
| 4:22pm | Dreams of the Year Behind :: 2007 | | | | And just when we believed 2006 was some sort of awesome the dawn of 2007. Alright, that’s probably not totally true. With the end of 2007 drawing near, it is time for year-end reflections. Yes, it is that time when bloggers confront their senses and memories with “best-of” questions.... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 2 - Slice-of-Life | | | | The award ceremony marches onward, now with more silly categories and some slice-of-life awards!.. Sometimes you just need a good pick me up. Of course, personally I usually turn to caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol. When it comes to anime, however, there are time when you really just need something... | | |
| 5:15am | Ghost Hound 神霊狩 Ep. 6 | | | | That’s a scary picture. It gives me flashbacks to my Neuroscience classes from my first two years of medical school. The homunculus is indeed a real idea dreamed up by somebody to explain which parts of the brain react when various parts of the body experience sensations. It’s interesting,... | | |
| 4:00am | Ghost Hound - 09 |  | | | Let’s go swimming in the air! Well not with that thing though.Every episode leaves me with the “WTF!?” feeling. First off you have a ghost that can engulf you. And the ghost is the one who kidnapped Taro and his sis when they were younger, but now he has become a vengeful spirit going... | | |
| 4:56pm | December Summary | | | | If you’re wondering why the rankings for this month are a bit earlier than usual: well, I wanted to have a bit more time to work on my end-of-the-year-list, with the most memorable and un-memorable series of the past year. It’s going to get a bit bigger than last year’s, which to be honest was... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 1 - The Cream of the Crap | | | | Wai~! Wai~! Another year has come and gone, and with it a number of excellent and entertaining shows. It brought moments that made us roll with laughter, moments that made us shed manly tears, moments that made us smile and nod, moments that healed our spirits, and moments that made us thrust our hands... | | |
| 4:03pm | Shion no Ou - 10 | | | | Okay, so today wasn’t about Ayumi and Shion’s foster-father, but instead on Shion herself. And it really seems that this series is going to end at episode 12. Let’s hope that the creators aren’t going to rush the ending. This series deserves better. In any case, this episode... | | |
