| 1:14am | Hataraki Man - 04 |  | | | I wonder if people who see these posts on the anime blog aggregators are still thinking I’m blogging the anime lol. Well anyway this week focuses on Mayu, a young worker (23) who still has not gained the trust of her bosses. When an assignment comes that involves her favorite romance novel author... | | |
| 1:03am | Hataraki Man - 03 | | | | Is anyone amused by the Hataraki Man Ondo? I really want it. When is the single coming out?? (I still want the Yama Onna Kabe Onna Ost too though ) Anyway this week focuses on Tanaka as a Hatarakiman. I have a feeling based on next week’s preview is they’re gonna focus on each character... | | |
| 2:09am | Hataraki Man - 02 | | | | Woman powerrrr yeaaaa!! I think that’s why I like this drama more than I liked Swan no Baka. It’s like woman power vs. weak man against the rest of the worldunpower or something. So in this episode Hiroko comes to the realization of how hard her boyfriend works and that there’s a... | | |
| 10:56pm | Hataraki Man - 01 | | | | So when the anime came out a while ago it was airing on a day where I was watching like 4 other showsplus I had said “I’d prolly like this more if it was a drama.” Well someone up there listened and so we have the Hataraki Man dorama! It begins with a focus on Hiroko and how she loves... | | |

I hope it works. 2) I changed the heading of this blog into: Art-house Japanese Anime: Commentary and Analysis (and occasional off-topic posts on Japanese cinema, manga, literature and other aspects of culture) I hope you, Gentle... | | |
| 10:24am | Fall season preview - Are anime still exciting? | | | | It seems like there aren’t that many people doing season previews anymore but whatever, it’s become such a tradition for me, heh. Unfortunately I still don’t have anything like Photoshop on my laptop, so no pictures this time, sorry ^^;;; (I will do my best and add them later.) Even... | | |

| 3:01pm | A re-immersion into anime fandom | | | | After all this time I’ve finally managed to properly immerse myself in anime once more. I have been watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Lovely Complex, Darker than Black, Sailor Moon, Hataraki Man and will watch Mononoke once the subs come out. It’s a great feeling, and I hope I can maintain... | | |
| 11:52am | Six blogs you probably aren’t reading yet |  | | | So I’ve noticed that the anime blogosphere is as incestuous as a chapter in COMIC LO. Everyone links to the same old same old, and I’m guessing you guys haven’t updated your blogrolls in ages, or can’t be arsed to get out there and look for new things to read. Which is fine and... | | |
| 7:23pm | About laziness and layout changes… | | | | By now, you probably all have seen my new layout - actually I wanted something totally different, but then I stumbled upon the red version of Freshy and immediately fell in love with it. It’s totally anime unrelated so far, maybe I will change the header or something. What do you guys think | | |
| 2:49pm | Thank you Moé Moé Rabu, I now have a job! | | | | It has definitely been a long time since I graduated from uni. My ceremony was WAY back in September but I have actually been looking for work since August. So after a long 10 months of searching for full time work, I can finally say that the search is over! That’s right, and it’s all | | |
