| 9:35pm | Senjougahara Fascination -- Saitou Chiwa in Bakemonogatari | | | | In Bakemonogatari, seiyuu Saitou Chiwa 斎藤千和 is helping to create a character that could become one of the most memorable in anime: Senjougahara Hitagi.Senjougahara has been verbally sparring with the male protagonist from the start. She is beautiful, tough and strange. And Chiwa (her given name... | | |

| 4:21am | Hayate no Gotoku Character Cover Album | | | | Because I am a covers slut. I love covers. I love when bands cover other bands’ songs. I love it when favorite songs get (good) covers. And I must admit, I am a total slut for anisong covers. Momoi Haruko, Shimokawa Mikuni, Nakagawa Shoko, Ishida Yoko, Yonekura Chihiro, Iwao Junko, and others... | | |
| 5:29am | Ice Revolution - Manga Firstlook | | | | So I've always liked figure skating, but I found Ginban Kaleidoscope a little bland. So with high hopes but no expectations, I took my first steps into chapter one of Ice Revolution. The lead, Masaki is the only girl in a dojo family. She's an expert in karate, winning one tournament after another, even... | | |
| 12:15am | Ginban Kaleidoscope: I blame Lolikitsune for this one | | | | Yep, you have Lolikit to blame for this post. Like, totally. It was an interesting exercise in watching something outside of my own comfort zone, at least - after all, ‘Canadian ghost figure skating animu’ is a bit outside my usual viewing, as is any sort of TV entertainment centred around sports.... | | |
| 2:23am | Ginban Kaleidoscope | | | | Canon has been known to be the more popular of the big two brands, but I think in Japan, Nikon remains more popular which is possibly why I tend to see so many Nikons in anime (that, or just a coincidence).This anime features a Canadian aerobatic pilot (wtf) so I had to watch it. Also | | |
| 11:02pm | what i was forced to watch this week #18: pretear |  | | | I could’ve sworn that I’d heard Pretear used a few times as a baseline for bad magical girl shows. From that, I was expecting this show to be really bad and this post to be about what makes a magical girl show bad. When I tried Googling for phrases like “pretear bad review”,... | | |
| 12:09am | what i was forced to watch this week #12: ginban kaleidoscope | | | | I haven’t seen very many sports anime. The only ones I can think of off of the top of my head are Umisho, and if you count it, Yakitate Japan. But both of these are comedies, and the comedy is the focus, rather than the sport. Ginban Kaleidoscope probably doesn’t really count either.... | | |
| 11:34pm | Ginban Kaleidoscope - Finished |  | | | So, because a room mate made me feel a bit depressed like, I figured I’d watch something cheery. So of course, it was some more Ginban Kaleidoscope. I don’t know if anyone else noticed this, but every time someone said “The Organization” I thought of something large and evil,... | | |
| 8:57pm | Ginban Kaleidoscope - Started | | | | So, I also started Ginban Kaleidoscope. I have to say, when I first heard this described the whole “Canadian ghost figure skater stunt pilot” did not sound terrible appealing. But, following off of Umisho, I figured it couldn’t be too bad. (And I felt like something funny.) About 10... | | |
| 9:37pm | Sky Girls - The Satire Within | | | | It’s relatively fair to label Sky Girls as a typical otaku-wallet-driven mechamusume pandering ball of fuss. Just because it can carry its own weight as a character-driven story (like many others before it) and take itself seriously enough doesn’t mean it’s any good (but also certainly... | | |
| 8:29am | Wikipedia and anime |  | | | Jason made a post about how 26% of all search queries on Wikipedia are anime-related. Then, he took it further and proclaimed Wikipedia to become a premier anime website.Aside from AoD and maybe ANN, there really weren’t any place to find information about anime. Sure, you could hunt through | | |
| 8:00am | Who likes Licensing Anyway? Then just think of what they could do to it… | | | | Lots of licensing going around now, ya know cons make that stuff happen. So like the good person I am, I have been reading to see what is up. So now I’m going to go and talk about them and see what crazy ideas I can think of that the companies could do to mess with these releases. So let... | | |
