| 2:15am | Fall 2008 Season: What Are Your Picks? |  | | | With the Fall season well upon us, I thought I'd take this opportunity to get some feedback from our readers as to which series they're planning to follow or looking forward to the most.

| 2:00am | Hyakko 02 |  | | | Oh my god, Hyakko went from “mediocre” to “awesome” in this episode. It so feels like a grown up version of Ichigo Mashimaro. Is it pure coincidence or fate that Orikasa Fumiko does both Torako and Miu? They both are genius at eliciting the laughs. Orikasa Fumiko should be given... | | |
| 12:19am | Hyakko Episode 2 |  | | | BRING IT ON!Back with some more slapstick!Today’s episode was pretty funny. Our four girls spend an entire day trying to find a suitable club to join, and go from baseball to tennis over to basketball, from sports to tea ceremony and even ikebana - Ayumi, Tadzuki and Suzu go wherever Torako drags... | | |

| 1:59am | Fall Anime Impressions – Hyakko | | | | Yeah, the new season of anime is here. First up on my plate is the slapstick, slice-of-life, school comedy Hyakko.Rating: 8/12 B+Truthfully, this show didn’t wow like I was hopeing but I’m also fairly confident that this will become a show I like a lot. My confidence stems from the fact that this... | | |
| 6:33am | Hyakko: First Looksies | | | | Turns out it doesn’t suck!This is my first ever current Anime season post. So you can imagine I’m a little excited about it.

| 7:31pm | Hyakko- 01 |  | | | the long walk. OP ED Neither OP nor ED themes did much for me, although they are prettyhmm.. wild I guess. They’re like something you would hear in brutal samurai show, not in a slice of life oneThe first episode was about girls getting lost in the school and looking for their classroom (it’s... | | |
| 10:29pm | Some quick first impressions: Kyou no Go Ni, Ga-Rei Zero and Inazuma 11 | | | | Kyou no Go Ni Short Synopsis: Our lead character does pretty much the same as in the OVA Highlights: and actually does a better job at it. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 There really are too many teenage-antics series this season, but the best ones so far for me came from Hyakko and this series. It... | | |

| 4:19am | First Look Fair: Clannad After Story |  | | | You throw like a girl Welcome back to the moe? An episode that served more like a reintroduction to all the major characters shows some subtle differences from the first season, differences that may point to a difference of approach this time around. The first thing to note is that, as far as I can... | | |
| 3:13am | Aroduc on Kannagi |  | | | And I thought he was strict to Hyakko. Now he dishes out punishement not seen since Jason Miao savaged H2O. What really surprised me here was how horrible a character Jin was. He spent most of the episode staring at Nagi’s butt or trying to look down her shirt… or being so frightened of panties... | | |
| 2:59am | Hyakko - 01 |  | | | Basically, four completely different girls whose only similarity is an intense lack in sense of direction. Since the shortest between two points is a straight line, that’s what they work with - and that means jumping out of windows, breaking into buildings, etc.Summary: Nonomura Ayumi, a very... | | |
