| 7:31am | 07-Ghost - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Teito ends up at a strange church. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) I may be a bit late in noticing this, but this season features a lot of shows with excellent soundtracks, doesn’t it? We have Pandora Hearts, Phantom, Shin Mazinger, Full Metal Alchemist, Cross Game, Shangri-La,... | | |
| 5:16pm | Impz’s quick spring impressions - Phantom ~Requiem~ and Pandora Hearts |  | | | The futile search for quality in the spring season continues for Impz, as two rather different shows will be open to debate. First, we have the fantasy Pandora Hearts, and a Noir-like series in Phantom. Incidentally, both series have an ED with a naked body of a girl. I wonder why there is so much interest... | | |

It’s that time of the year when the chefs get together and actually post something to bring you this comprehensive list of animes due this season.

| 1:40pm | 2008 Summary - Part I | | | | Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year. This time, I decided to split this entry in two halves, otherwise the list would simply become too huge. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, after Porfy no... | | |
| 7:46pm | Telepathy Shoujo Ran - 22 | | | | Short Synopsis: Ran&co go skiing during their holidays. Highlights: Most natural storytelling of the entire series. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,0/10 (Excellent) It’s episodes like this that really make me ask the following question: Why the heck didn’t the creators just ditch the... | | |
| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |
| 4:43pm | Glass no Kantai Review - 75/100 | | | | I’m surprised that it’s taken me this long to realize, but a common theme of a Gonzo-series seems to be subtle jabs towards aristocracy. The best example of this is Trinity Blood: in that series, the Vatican is an important party, and yet the Pope is a shy and incapable 12-year old boy... | | |
| 9:30am | Hatenkou Yuugi - Episode Ten |  | | | This episode of Hatenkou Yuugi wraps this series, and deals with Rahzel’s past, present and future. In this episode we get to learn many things about Rahzel, such as her real name (Lazensha Rose), how her mother died, and how Baroqueheat is related to Rahzel’s father. I’m quite not sure how the... | | |

| 7:30am | Vampire Knight Episode 1 - “Let’s bring in the darkness!” | | | | Yes, you can tell that I am a huge fan of Zero compared to Kaname. Still, Kaname is fine too. I like Ichijou most though! It’s really a total pain when I have to blog two possible blockbusters in a single day. I am not complaining though. After Special A, the second series that I have been anticipating... | | |
| 3:23pm | Hatenkou Yuugi Review - 70/100 | | | | Adapting a manga. From the outside, it looks so simple: you just have to take a page and animate it accordingly. Yet practice has shown that a lot of series have trouble with this. Sometimes entire pages are omitted completely, or the writers think they’re talented and insert some boring inconsequential... | | |
| 2:22am | Quickie: Hatenkou Yuugi Is Getting a Sequel, Right? | | | | For all that its pacing was horrendous– the first and last episode in particular dump metric shit-tons of explication on the viewer –I really enjoyed the Hatenkou Yuugi anime, mostly for the sharp dialogue and good voice acting which made for awesome banter. BUT! The anime was only 10 episodes... | | |
