| 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... | | |
| 3:18pm | March Summary | | | | And with this, the season is nearly over. There are still a few series left to finish, but they should close off in a few days from now. Overall, I must say that it’s been an interesting half year, and nothing like the spring-season that preceded it. It feels like there were less ground-breaking... | | |
| 10:46am | Hatenkou Yuugi - Episode Nine | | | | As this episode concludes the storyline involving Solesta and Richard, I thought that Rahzel looked quite pretty in this episode, with her new hairstyle and clothing in this episode. As Rahzel’s past hasn’t been discussed at length in this episode, I thought it was quite good to Rahzel interact... | | |
| 10:44am | Hatenkou Yuugi - Episode Eight | | | | This episode of Hatenkou Yugi is a two parter story, and the first installment of this storyline has lots of interesting elements, such as Baroqueheat kissing Rahzel, Alzied teasing to kiss Rahzel, seeing Alzied dressed in drag, and Rahzel making a promise not to use magic. The new characters in this... | | |
| 10:30am | Shion no Ou - 22 | | | | God this series is over at last. Endings like this one always have a certain air of predictability. Shion was bound to win, Hani-meijin would definitely end up arrested, and there’d also be a pretty good chance that Shion would get her voice back in the end. And THAT’s exactly where the... | | |
| 9:29pm | Clannad Review - 85/100 | | | | Wha! Another series I had no idea ended so soon. The series of the past two seasons have followed an interesting trend of breaking away from the usual 26/24/13/12-episode-formats, with more series than ever with just 10 (Hatenkou Yuugi), 11 (Hakaba Kitarou) or 22 (Shion no Ou, Ghost Hound, this one)... | | |
| 11:36am | Hatenkou Yuugi - Episode Seven | | | | The first thought about this episode that jumped straight into my mind while watching this episode was that I was happy to see the three main leads in new clothing, which I also thought that made them look good throughout this episode. As Rahzel hasn’t used her magic powers much in this series much,... | | |
| 3:09am | Spring 2008 Anime - Bus Gamer Review | | | | Since I have absolutely nothing to do due to the end of Saiunkoku Monogatari and Hatenkou Yuugi, I decide to grab the latest series that is out in Japan. One of the early birds of spring 2008, Bus Gamer, has already been broadcast. Taken from T.H.A.T Spring Preview, this is the introduction. Bus Gamer... | | |
