| 1:20am | Hidamari Sketch x365 #12 — Love and War | | | | All’s fair. Impressions: Shinbo lost control of the animators again. It wasn’t as well managed as episode 1 was, but there were a ton of funky camera angles, zoom ins and zoom outs, and a lot more directorial and artistic tricks that are a lot more in line with stuff like Zetsubou Sensei... | | |
| 12:11pm | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 8: Fly Like An Eagle |  | | | By TheBigN(ooooooooooooooooo!) From my limited experiences in my 22 years of life, I’m always surprised by how sports take a hold of our lives. It tends to be an instant starting point of connection between people, a source of collective joy and agony, and probably one of the more politically... | | |

| 6:14pm | Hidamari Sketch x365 #11 — The Theft of Hiro’s Panties | | | | It should come to a surprise to nobody that Miyako took them. Impressions: All in all, a pretty fun episode, and they tricked me a little bit with the twist. Everybody thought Hiro had fainted after looking at herself in the mirror with her tight pants on, but she had actually just brained herself... | | |
| 6:57pm | Hidamari Sketch x365 #10 — Meet the Parents | | | | And some gnomes but mostly the parents. Impressions: You know, to be honest I’m glad this show is nearly over. This experiment in covering a low key, plotless anime has really proven to me how ill-suited for the job I am. I feel like I ran out of things to say a month ago and have just been... | | |
| 11:47am | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 7: One Step At A Time |  | | | By TheBigN(oodly Appendage) In life, there’s always an opportunity to get worked up, necessary or otherwise, about something, and so it often seems to be the case with Yuno. But as is most cases with our X’d protagonist, it’s understandable in this episode, as she begins her time... | | |
| 1:01am | Damien’s lull |  | | | Moe Check: A part of it is that I’ve not actually been watching a lot of bloggable anime, which is a distinct case from watching anime period. I watch quite a lot of Hidamari Sketch x365, for example, but I can’t find anything to say about it. I noticed that too I follow Hidamari, I read what TheBigN... | | |
| 7:00pm | Hidamari Sketch x365 - Episode 8 | | | | I often have a bit of a moan on this 'Blog about series taking on the same old clichéd subject matter in episodes, but if I'm honest my complaints tend to go out of the window once I come across a slice-of-life series, particularly if it's a reasonably good one. Thus, you now know why I'm going to... | | |
| 6:26pm | Battle of the Backlog: summer 2008 edition | | | | So far I’ve found only two new shows for the summer season that have really caught my attention and even then one of them, Eve no Jikan, isn’t following a weekly schedule. I quickly realised how I need to really pull my finger out in sifting through the newest offerings before they’re... | | |

The second half was alright, I suppose, but in comparison, it was pretty lame and uninteresting. Basically... | | |
| 4:49pm | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 6: Say |  | | | By TheBigN(ot my best stuff here) Communication between people is never 100% accurate, though we try our damndest to maximize it as much as we can. The sender and the receiver aren’t one and the same, so the message will always be interpreted a little bit differently to all of the participants.... | | |
