| 4:10pm | Hanners on Hyakko |  | | | My echo chamber is quite comfortable, thanks. How about yours? Hanners: After watching the last episode [03] of Hyakko, I commented on how far short this series falls of the true classics of its genre, despite being easy enough to watch in its own right. To be fair, episode four improved things a little... | | |
| 10:19am | Hyakko - Episode 4 | | | | After watching the last episode of Hyakko, I commented on how far short this series falls of the true classics of its genre, despite being easy enough to watch in its own right. To be fair, episode four improved things a little along these lines, while still not looking like a challenger to Hidamari... | | |
| 1:00am | A Quarter Of A Million Hits Later… |  | | | And nothing of value was lost. Or gained. By TheBigN But seriously, considering how long it took for Drastic My Anime Blog to garner 100,000 hits, getting 150,000 hits more was much quicker. No matter if you come here for that one Yoko pic (or the post that came with it), a greater meaning of Highschool... | | |
| 11:00pm | SHAFT - Studio Studies Part Three | | | | Now that I’ve covered what I consider the best along with the most influential studio, I have to talk about my personal favorite, SHAFT. SHAFT was formed in 1975, which comes as a surprise to me because besides their first single-handed production in 1987, Yume Kara, Samenai (which I only just... | | |
| 11:18pm | Autumn 2008 first impressions: ef - a Tale of Melodies, Tytania, Chaos;Head | | | | I wouldn’t wish illness on anyone but several days off work has allowed me to recharge my batteries a bit (despite living off canned soup and green tea for four days straight) and has done wonders for tackling my backlog. My two-episode rule still stands, which is a bit of a limitation: the subbers... | | |
| 6:12pm | Vote for Miyako Redux! | | | | By TheBigN While I thought that Miyako might be able to get past Rena in the last round of Saimoe, I was surprised when the result actually turned out to be so (lol @Rena taken home). Against Tomoyo, I still have faith that she can come through, but I’m not sure that others believe as well. If... | | |
| 7:12pm | Toradora, Episode 3- Does Japan Not Have Riddalin? |  | | | This week we have a Minorin-centered episode, and at times it was rather hard to sit through. She’s alright in small doses, but an entire episode of her high energy rambling can really grind on you. It’s ok, next week we get to see Ami-chan so it’s all good. Edit Title: I kin spel... | | |
| 1:21pm | T-That’s Impossible: A Retrospect on Saimoe 2008, Round 3 | | | | Analysis\ up when I get the chance, but since I’ll be away from the computer for a bit, I’ve got to push this post out the door: G3-2 Results: Show ▼ Tsukasa (Lucky Star) defeats Nagi (Hayate) 1080-889 H3-1 Results: Show ▼ Noe (true tears) defeats Suzu (Nagasarete Airantou) 972-555... | | |
| 10:35pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #01 — A Proper OVA | | | | Traps, panic, and evolution. Impressions: Honestly I forgot this existed, let alone that it was coming out this week. It was very enjoyable all around, and definitely one of the better Zetsubou Sensei episodes, although it really was a bit think with the KyoAni references, especially given that I... | | |
| 5:18pm | Enough of That Already: Saimoe ‘08 [3EF-2] results and [3GH-1] preview | | | | Can I still dramatize Minami-ke? I can still dramatize Minami-ke. The third round has been a rough mix of incredible blowouts and intense battles; we’ve seen all four Clannad girls annihilate the competition in varying amounts. We’ve seen Nanoha and Shana go toe-to-toe for 23 hours in one... | | |
| 4:15pm | Random Ramblings 4.0: Nothing Important Was Lost | | | | By TheBigN Starting out this list of things with a shout-out to one of my cohorts, as today happens to be Nomadotto’s birthday. Hopefully he’s punching out ungrateful undergrads in celebration, or at least taking a little respite from grad school for this day. And if you remember from... | | |
| 6:18pm | Kana vs. KyoAni: Saimoe ‘08 [3CD-1] results and [3CD-2] preview | | | | And yet another climactic round comes to pass. SaiMoe is very much a tournament of dreams, not because to outsiders it seems like a bunch of people verbally fapping to imaginary characters, but because it really is an example where sometimes, anything seems possible. We’ve seen the legendary... | | |
| 8:17pm | Hidamari Sketch x365 - Episode 10 | | | | Two episodes of Hidamari Sketch x365 in two days - How spoiled do I feel? A new episode of this particular slice-of-life series is always more than welcome in my day, and this particular instalment was a most excellent one.After watching episode nine I mentioned that it wasn't big on laughs but instead... | | |

| 6:36am | Summer '08 Season Review | | | | In general the shows that were completed during the summer season were very weak. With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices. Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:... | | |
