| 2:50am | When the Seagulls Cry episode 1 |  | | | My most highly anticipated show for this season. But will it hold up to my high expectations?Welcome to Harper's Island! Well, it’s too early to tell. Most of the episode was being introduced to characters, which was boring as hell. I’ll never remember all their names anyway. To be... | | |
| 12:48pm | In dong news, Nitro+ and Higurashi to be available commercially | | | | I wish I were kidding, but it would seem that while everyone is panicking about NO MOAR EROGE FROM JAPAN, it would seem that JAST USA (obviously NSFW) and MangaGamer (obviously NSFW) are looking to release works from Nitro+ and Ryukushi07 respectively. Guess what that means? Seriously, take a guess.... | | |
| 2:01am | My journey through Umineko Ep1 | | | | 00:10: OMG, BEACTRICE. Haha, they used the game image! OMG Akiko Shikata, the song sounds awesome! OMG, I can’t believe that this is an anime!!!!! What the hell, I sound like a rabid fan girl. Ack, I don’t care anymore. I’ve been in love with Umineko too long to worry about how I... | | |
| 10:54pm | And the most surprising news out of AnimeExpo is… | | | | Almost certainly the fact that the Higurashi games are going to get an English release – despite the fact that the first day of the convention is barely underway. It’s just a shame the games are only going to be available of via MangaGamer. This isn’t a slight on their production or... | | |
| 4:32pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni 01: Ushiromiya Shonen no Jikenbo | | | | Just looking at the amount of tropes that Umineko and Kindaichi share has made me wonder if 07th Expansion got their inspiration from the latter. Not that it’s a bad thing of course, since, if anything we need more shows of the whodunit genre, and despite sharing similarities, I’m confident... | | |
| 4:11pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni – Episode 1 (I-I) |  | | | OP Theme One Winged Birth by Shikata Akiko All I can say to this opening theme is wow! I thought Shikata Akiko’s singing of the games opening theme Umineko no Naku Koro ni was good but after watching this, I think it has given it a good run for its money. The animation involved was a less violent... | | |
| 2:54pm | Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, Episode 1-1: Opening | | | | The time has finally come for Umineko. Pretty much like the other series I have blogged in the past, the summary will be in black while my comments will be colored in blue. As a VN player and leader of the translation group of the said VN, you can certainly expect few comparisons and the like: I will... | | |
| 1:10pm | Summer series 2009 Preview ~ Hope no seagulls are crying | | | | With the Spring season ending in a blink of an eye, we are once again back in the summer period and thus brings us a new batch of series to watch. Surprisingly, compared to last year there isn’t that many titles coming out this season (which is a blessing to some*points to self) with 18 titles... | | |
| 11:22am | The Summer… What to Do? | | | | Blog some anime stuff, right? Yes. I’m pretty much back after some time of shittery in college, but that’s fine, because I’m boss. Apparently, assistant boss because Nagato-sama did mention something to me about some plans this summer about the site. She didn’t give any specifics,... | | |
| 5:36am | Umineko no Naku Koro ni Ep. 01 | | | | So this is pretty much the only anime series I've been anticipating for this season, although I will doubtless check out others. This episode pretty much sets up the deserted island, the feuding family grabbing for inheritance money, and a mysterious witch and her curse, and a creepy little girl who... | | |
| 7:54pm | When the Seagulls Cry #01 — Morse Code | | | | BEEP BEEP BEEP UU BEEP UU UU BEEP UU BEEP BEEP New Season Disclaimer: I try to watch at least the first episode of every new show in a season. However, do not expect anything I say to be fair or balanced. I value my own entertainment above all else and there are some genres or methods of presentation... | | |

Cross Game episode 12: Cute episode, not to much to say.Anything to get out of workI love this cat to death Haruhi: No screenshots... | | |
| 2:08pm | June Summary | | | | The interesting thing with this month is that yet again I had no clear favourites. There’s a bunch of shows that I really like, but there’s not been a series for me that really stood above the others this month. I think that because of this, the series that ended up as my number one position... | | |
| 3:10pm | June/July/August 2009 Anime List |  | | | I know I havent actually been reviewing any anime since last year, but since I am currently unwell, I have compiled my thoughts on the new series.
