| 4:15pm | 5 Favorite Slice-of-Life Series | | | | As some of you may know or noticed, I’m a huge fan of slice-of-life series. Nothing makes me happier than to unwind with some lighthearted, fun series that usually are slice-of-life. Slice-of-life in anime refers to series with little plot and character development. More often than not, the series... | | |
| 8:27pm | Magazine Extras: Animedia May 2011 – Surveying 100 Voice Actresses | | | | I used to get Japanese magazines like Newtype, Animage, and Animedia every once in a while – usually around the start of a new anime season but also sometimes for the extras. While cleaning around last night, I found a little booklet from Animage‘s May 2011 issue. They gave survey forms... | | |
| 11:00pm | Calm Down and Just Watch Anime | | | | A few weeks ago, when I was on FAPcast, we discussed Hikigaya’s cynicism in My Teenage RomCom SNAFU. Hikki grew to be the cynical guy he is after being burned so many times in the past when he would try to socialize like a “normal” person. We anticipate the show to be about him overcoming... | | |

| 9:21pm | Yuri Manga: Mangatime Kirara Miracle (まんがタイムきららミラク) | | | | Today’s post is less of a “review” and more of a heads-up. ^_^ Along with Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime, and Shinsokan’s Pure Yuri Anthology Hiirari and Hobunsha’s Tsubomi magazine, there is a secret repository of Yuri on Japanese manga magazine shelves. ^_^ Where... | | |
| 4:39am | Yuyushiki begins |  | | | Yuyushiki is a bit strange and I found it difficult to judge. The “cute girls doing cute things” area is well mined nowadays, but I did not see one like it before. Initial episodes of Lucky Star were somewhat vapid and boring. K-ON offered us the hated “retard moe”. Hidamari... | | |
| 5:40pm | Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet episode 4 – Eeyashickay | | | | What’s that you you losers use for those crappy 4-koma anime? You know, the weeaboo term you employ to justify why nothing interesting ever happens but it makes you feel nice? The calm you supposedly feel that could just as easily be gotten by staring at a brick wall? IyaIyacake? Iyakishit? Iyashikei?... | | |

| 11:05pm | First Impressions: Yuyushiki | | | | Instant Summary: A bunch of laid-back girls surf the net and do stuff.The source manga comes from the same magazine as Hidamari Sketch, so it's easy to know what to expect. I had expected a 3-min short, but they actually had enough content for a full half-hour episode? Wow.Anyway, Yui is the tsukkomi that... | | |
| 6:00pm | Yuyushiki | | | | Another slice-of-life comedy show was looking forward to this new season is “Yuyushiki”, the anime adaptation of the “ゆゆ式” four panel manga by Komata Mikami. In many aspects this series is quite similar to “Aiura” as it showcases the everyday life of three girls, their mindless chats... | | |
| 7:44pm | Winter Season 2012 Anime Reviews | | | | Due to lack of time and inspiration, I decided to make the reviews of individual anime shorter and bundle a season’s reviews into a single article. I think most readers do not feel like reading long posts and truth be told, I usually cannot fill every review with enough sensible things to say... | | |
| 6:00pm | Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W | | | | The crawling chaos is back for more madness! Originally a light novel series written by Manta Aisora , “這いよれ! ニャル子さん“ already spawned a first anime adaptation last spring and now gets a second season with “Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W”. Terrific to see the cutest Nyarlathotepian... | | |
