| 1:47am | 頭文字 Impressions Fall 2008 | | | | The new season is finally under full swing, and I’ve been looking forward to it for quite a while. As of now, it really doesn’t disappoint. The new Hokuto no Ken anime tv series, the first in about two decades not counting Souten no Ken, is Raoh Gaiden: Ten no Haoh. The series is a prequel... | | |
| 1:12am | Film of the Sea | | | | I've been too busy with work and the VIFF over the last week to write anything in here, but I just had to take a moment to write about the impact of seeing Takashi Ishida's latest film, Film of the Sea, made last year over the span of four months for the Yokohama Museum of Art. It preceded one of the... | | |
| 9:39pm | Hokuto no Ken Raoh Gaiden Ten no Haoh Opening & Ending | | | | Plenty of exploding body parts in the first episode, looks like it may be an entertaining series, enjoyed the opening and ending too. Unlike most of the previous Fist of the North Star anime, this story focuses not on the protagonist Kenshiro, but on the early life of his oldest brother and frequent... | | |
| 8:41pm | Clannad ~After Story~ Episode 1 |  | | | Another season of Clannad is what kept me going through the mostly lackluster summer shows, and I spent a good part of the summer trying to work my way through the Clannad Visual Novel. I didn’t quite make it to the after story, though, so if you want someone to predict the next episode for you... | | |
| 8:07am | Fist of the North Star: Raoh’s Tale |  | | | As we heard, the latest instalment in the titanic (literally in the case of the main characters) Fist of the North Star franchise is 北斗の拳 天の覇王ラオウ外伝 / Hokuto no Ken – Ten no Haou – Raou Gaiden, a story eschewing usual protagonist Kenshiro in favour of telling the tale of... | | |
| 8:25am | The Fall Call: Fall 2008 Anime Preview | | | | I know, I know, I’m late– things have gotten very busy with my project. But here it is: your Fall 2008 anime preview! A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
| 8:00am | Code Geass Final Thoughts |  | | | As promised, here is our final review of Code Geass as a whole. Anything goes here comment wise, and I hope you’ve enjoyed our coverage of Geass this past 6 months. I know I’ve enjoyed writing about it and engaging in conversations with my readers. I’d like to thank all of you that read my... | | |
| 6:53am | Fist of the North Star: Raoh’s Story #01 — This One’s For Josh | | | | Who I don’t think even pays attention to the blog anyway. New Season Disclaimer: I’ll make a post for almost all new series (barring sequels) with a wrap-up and bullet point opinion of each once the premier week is over. Remember that these are just my kneejerk reactions to the first... | | |
| 2:23pm | [Anime Bento] Watchlist Fall - Winter 2008 | | | | What are you going to watch this Fall? As written up earlier on my previous post. Here is a list of anime I would like to check out at least the 1st few episodes. I will be updating throughout the post with additional videos PVs for each series as I find them. Currently a bit busy with other things... | | |
| 4:00pm | Macross Frontier: Final Thoughts, Analyses, and Verdict |  | | | This is Mr. Kawamori, he’s crazy Hopefully, by now the shock from the Kawamori’s troll has since passed, but suffice to say if you were never privy to the Kawamori’s talent for trolling consider yourself schooled. I had a slight suspicion ever since the infamous Pineapple Cake episode that... | | |
| 10:33am | World Destruction Ep 13 (END)- I do not want it to end, kuma~ |  | | | Seriously, I want the anime to go on. But it’s also good news to me too as I’ll be away from THAT for about a week or two to continue mugging for my upcoming papers (Unless you want me to pass, I’ll fail all my papers big time and you won’t be able to hear my voices for LIFE).... | | |
| 9:24pm | TheBigN’s Crappy One/Two-Liner 2008 Fall Preview |  | | | As I’ve stated before, I haven’t done these things before because for most of the shows, I don’t know jack about them, so I thought there was no point. Well, I still think there’s no point in the matter, but because I can’t really think of anything else to post about for... | | |
