| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 10:13am | Aoi Hana - 09 | | | | A peculiar episode for this series, especially with only two episodes left after this. You’d think that this close to the end, the creators would pump up the drama, but instead we get what is likely the quietest episode of this series yet. There was a lot of simple slice of life. So in this... | | |
| 10:44pm | Hitohira Manga, Volume 3 (English) | | | | In Volume 3 of Hitohira, the spotlight remains firmly on Mugi's transformation from a pathologically shy girl to one capable of dealing with being in the public eye. But even Mugi's new pair of wings doesn't mean she's always going to be able to fly.Although they had their triumph, Nono's renegade Theater... | | |
| 12:59pm | Pandora Hearts - 13 | | | | Awesome episode! With all of the small hints to Alice’s past and all, the actual revelation of how deep it actually is really amazed me. This episode was full of awesomeness that further developed the mystery that’s going on, instead of just answering some of the lingering questions. After... | | |
| 7:00am | Bluemist on Hitohira |  | | | When Hitohira came out, I automatically filed it under the “lesbian trash” tab, but the review text at Bluemist does not have a peep about the issue. Not a word. Just the praise for “very lovable and relatable characters”, “well told story” that sum up to “wonderful... | | |
| 2:22am | Hitohira | | | | HitohiraOnce in a while these things pop up, a slice-of-life anime gem that most of us may have skipped in favor of other more hyped series running in the same season. Hitohira had absolutely nothing going for it. High-school setting about a drama club, zzzzz. Didn't hook me up that much from the... | | |

Actually this is just answering a call from Gia, who wonders if people would play blog ping pong with her (ideally on AnimeVice, natch): Find some Takarazuka elements in shoujo manga or anime series– OTHER than the following: Utena, Princess Knight, Rose of Versailles.... | | |

| 9:45pm | Stereopony - Namida no Mukou PV (Gundam 00 S2 OP2) |  | | | Admittedly, I've always preferred female vocals over male ones, but it's even better when it comes from an all-female rock band. Unconsciously, I tend to associate the ability to play an instrument with musical talent. Anyway, all-female rock bands aren't something I recall seeing a lot of,... | | |
| 8:25pm | Hitohira Manga, Volume 1 (English) | | | | "In manga, no one can hear you scream."Or not scream, as in the case of Hitohira, Volume 1.The manga follows almost exactly the same (non-)plot as the anime of the same name (reviewed last year by guest reviewer Hafl.) In short, a girl named Asai Mugi, who suffers from debilitating shyness, is coerced... | | |
