| 3:35pm | Honey and Clover Live Action Movie - Et tu, Brute? |  | | | In my idealist world of adaptations, movies like the abomination that was the Death Note live action would never exist. It was good as a movie for movie’s sake, but not good enough for my higher standards. Neither was it a case of source material fan bias — for what it’s worth, the... | | |

| 6:50pm | Depth, Elitism, and Whether Anime Needs Any Justification (Part 2) |  | | | Continued from part 1 A Personal Reflection on Otaku Insecurity I think at least part of the reason why so many fans insist that anime is “deep,” compared to American cartoons at least, is insecurity. I know, because I fell prey to it myself throughout my years as an otaku. American fans... | | |
| 11:09am | Germany Has Had Translated Honey and Clover Manga Since Last September | | | | Yesterday I was walking down Immermannstrasse, the main street of Düsseldorf’s Japanese district, and went into a comic book store. Inside there were manga and American comics translated into German as one would expect. I ended up buying an issue each of Daisuki (think Shoujo Beat), Animania... | | |
| 3:37pm | State of the Proxy, July 2007 | | | | Looking back at my post count last year for the month of July, I am green with envy. I was blogging Honey and Clover II and Bimbou Shimai Monogatari, and now I wonder if I’ve already lost the kind of energy that I had at that time. I also realized I was complaining | | |
| 11:39pm | Asatte no Houkou: Air done right, or You should be careful what you wish for | | | | ’cause everyone of us has the devil inside Imagine this: On a dark and cloudy full-moon, your 12 year-old adopted little sister gets turned into a busty babe; to top that off, your 24 year-old ex-girlfriend now has the body of a pre-pubescent girl, now child-like both in appearance and voice.... | | |
| 4:45pm | The anime piracy industry in the PRC: The report from the ground | | | | So a certain regular of my anime blogs and I raided a few Mainland Chinese bookstores together. Let's just go through the exhibits: The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Official Fanbook. Approximately US$5. Ouran High School Host Club Official Fanbook Delux. Comes with a DVD which contains all 26... | | |
| 11:35am | Nodame Cantabile ep.20 | | | | Well, we're down to 3 more episodes left. I kind of wish we'll get to see a second season but after seeing the limited budget that the animators get for the series, I don't think that will happen. What I'm interested to know is how popular the anime has been in terms of Noitamina timeslot. I think... | | |
| 5:10pm | An upcoming Chinese anime series: 'Life as the Cloud' 云端的日子 | | | | The poster of this upcoming Chinese anime series produced by the PRC studio Zhong Hua Xuan 中华轩 sure reminds one of Shinkai Makoto's 新海誠 The Place Promised in Our Early Days 雲のむこう、約束の場 所. According to this source, it is to be a 26 episode series and each episode... | | |
| 7:58pm | Remedial Anime Awards, May 2007 | | | | My school exams are finally over and the school holidays are on. No holiday homeworks at all (since teachers won't give you homeworks during the exam period) although I'm not sure whether there are going to be any extra classes by my Additional Mathematics teacher in this holidays. And if there... | | |
| 11:28pm | Remedial Anime Awards, April 2007 | | | | Just to make the long story as short as possible, I'll go directly into the story and skip those minor minor details. And if possible, not to talk about the Ijok by-elections, our new king installation and Air TV & OAV's licensening in North America by ADV, in which all three happened earlier... | | |
| 3:50pm | Anime for the masses: You forgot a piece of the puzzle | | | | Props to Impz and his band of merry men for sparking off the discussion. Demian in his response, however, overlooked what I believe is a key angle of how anime wouldn’t make it to mainstream, and that’s what I’m going to address in this post. Will also be commenting closely on drmchsr0’s,... | | |
| 10:45pm | Spring 2007: What Looks Really Interesting? | | | | So I've been looking at the listings of what's coming out this upcoming (or, actually, just already started) season in anime. The winter has been rather disappointing, after the astonishingly good run from spring to fall of last year (or maybe it was just filled with shows that I happened to like | | |
| 5:36am | Top 5 anime confessions | | | | As most harem, romance and drama shows near their closing moments, the all important kokuhaku (confession) scene is the emotional catharsis that brings closure to the series as a whole. Typically, these scenes involve shy bishoujo finally gathering the courage to approach their long time crush and | | |
