| 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.

| 5:40pm | Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet episode 4 – Eeyashickay | | | | What’s that you you losers use for those crappy 4-koma anime?

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!

| 7:59am | Landlady, the Champion of the World | | | | Finishing the last third of Hidamari Sketch Honeycomb, my favorite episode was the ninth, which comprised of the landlady (hence referred to with a capital L) dropping by to play The Game of Life with everyone.
