| 2:20am | Week in review | | | | Click to enlarge Kanon 12: 9.5/10One of, if not the, best episodes thus far. Screentime for Nayuki, Ayu, Shiori, Kaori, some fugly ichinensei and of course Mai | | |
| 7:49pm | Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ 12 (Final Episode) |  | | | Preview: Once upon a time, an unsuspecting anime blogger decided to watch a show called Gift, because she likes cute romances based off hentai games. She was completely overwhelmed by the ugly animation and the clichéd plotline which ripped off Da Capo and Shuffle, so much that she fell in love. | | |
| 8:14am | Fall ‘06: Catch Up | | | | Click to enlarge May not look like much, but this is the replacement for those lengthy episode summary posts. That’s not to say I’ll stop doing episode summaries and analysis completely, but they will be scarce and random. Instead I’ve decided to employ a ranking system, it’s... | | |
| 4:53am | Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ 11 | | | | Preview: Backstory, randomly appearing chibis and not enough Kirino.Ah, sweet angst! The beginning was filled with much of that. First, on a depressingly rainy day, Haruhiko reflects over his problems. Later, he makes breakfast for Riko, who he sees is looking at old pictures. Because she | | |
| 11:05pm | Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ 10 | | | | Preview: Kirino sends Riko on the ultimate guilt trip, and displays more awesome expressions. Oh yes, cut for lots of images, though everyone knows that by now.Let’s begin. Riko’s obviously not in a great condition after what happened last week. Makes sense. I don’t think I’d... | | |
| 1:46am | Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ LOL PWNED! | | | | I’m sorry for being sadistic or biased, but this episode had me grinning from ear to ear. Why? Of course because Kirino gets dealt the lousy cards of the deck! It was such a satisfying sight to see her bawl and cry over something she knew was GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY. I’m being highly | | |
| 4:35am | Gift ~ Eternal Rainbow~ 09 | | | | Preview: The silliness is almost non-existent, due to Kirino finally awakening her inner-Kaede. Come on, you know this was the moment you’ve been waiting for. ^_-Right where we left off last time, Riko and Haruhiko have finally confessed to each other. As a viewer, I personally want to think | | |
| 8:58am | gift ~eternal rainbow~ primer | | | | One series that I know I didn't give enough love to is Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~. Back in my original thin slicing, I ranked it lower than Crescent Love well I screwed up. Here's a mulligan: Gift's the best harem anime series this season. And here's a spoiler-filled primer to get everyone | | |
| 1:44pm | Nipponsei Weekly Review: Nov 25 |  | | | Another week, more music. Hataraki Man OP and NHK’s second OST reviews this time.Hataraki Man’s OP is Hataraku Otoko by Puffy. In my opinion it’s a wonderful rock song, and another great song from this excellent music season. It’s a quirky song that fits Hataraki perfectly. | | |
| 10:53pm | Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ 08 | | | | Preview: Wow. This episode might just convert me to a Riko supporter. It all depends on Kirino’s reaction next week. I do really wonder now what could possibly happen from here. Oh yeah, and ecchi warning just for a couple pictures.The episode begins with Riko and Haruhiko getting ready for a | | |
| 4:57am | Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ 07 | | | | Preview: The problem from last week is resolved. Also, Chisa and Yukarin both get some interesting character development. There’s also a bit of creepiness and plenty of dramatic tension. The scooter scene was the best part though. Regardless of how good/bad/ridiculous/purely awesome this show | | |
| 7:58pm | Tokimeki Memorial - 04 - Finally a Mina episode | | | | Rating: 7/10We finally get some stereotypical harem action this episode. The only problem I’m seeing with this anime so far is that it focuses too much on one girl then the other. There’s no bouncing around from girl to girl mid episode, but instead it basically does full episode | | |
| 2:26am | Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ 06 | | | | Preview: Breifly, I was overjoyed to see that the stupidity returned. Then they went and made it cool again at the end. Because I’m totally supportive of Kirino, I’m actually happy about the terms this ended on, even though it’s depressing for Riko and any of her supporters. Of | | |
| 7:28pm | Full OPs and EDs: Part 3 | | | | Another batch of six. Out of these, my favourite would have to be COLORS by FLOW, the Code Geass OP, followed closely behind by Sweet Home Song, the Asatte no Houkou ED. There sure are a lot of catchy OPs and EDs this season; I’m impressed. So far there’s not one song I dislike. To | | |
| 4:29am | Gift ~ Eternal Rainbow~ 05 | | | | Preview: A Rinka-centric episode, in which another gift is given. For those who stuck around through the ridiculous early episodes, here’s yet another enjoyable episode. I was pleased to see that the animation was pretty consistant throughout. Rinka is the star this time, as the main drama | | |
