| 5:00pm | Itazura na Kiss - 25 [Final] |  | | | Kotoko, Kotomi, and Naoki head to Naoki’s grandfather’s house where he was born and Kotoko recalls the first time they took a trip there. Impressions: I was a bit disappointed that this episode wasn’t a giant epilogue. From what we’ve seen so far I really love the scenes with Kotomi in it. She’s... | | |
| 11:32pm | Skip Beat - 01 |  | | | Haha this show is so much win! It’s good to see a heroine who after getting completely insulted and used actually beat the shit out of the faggot who’s responsible and then vow REVENGE! I like it already! Although her image change was so drastic she looked like a completely different... | | |
| 7:00pm | Itazura na Kiss - 24 |  | | | Naoki must perform his first surgery by himself to save Matsumoto and Kotoko goes into labor. Impressions: I thought this episode was pretty good.

| 10:05pm | Itazura na Kiss - Episode 25 (Completed) | | | | Of all the series I've watched over the past couple of seasons, I think Itazura na Kiss would have been my least likely candidate for a show I'd hope for a bonus episode of. Yet, after the series proper finished last week, here I am with episode twenty-five to watch. All in all, it's a bit like receiving... | | |
| 7:33am | September Summary | | | | Overall, I don’t think I’m ever going to label the past half year as the best that anime can give. Instead, the past season stood out with its large amount of series that at first sight don’t seem to stand a chance, and yet turn out to be surprisingly solid and enjoyable. My top 10... | | |
| 10:44pm | Hakushaku to Yousei - 01 |  | | | Err so it seems the fall season has begun. Before I go any further, thank you to whoever recommended smplayer to me, it does wonders to my shitty computer! While I’ve only seen one episode, the chances of me blogging this show are very high for the following reasons: it’s shoujo, it has... | | |
| 3:59am | Itazura na Kiss 24: This Isn’t The Ending Episode? | | | | Eye-lightning for the best reason ever: To see who gets to give Naoki the shoe horn.Kotoko is visibly pregnant now, and pleased at her preggo-boobs.

| 8:48pm | 2008 So Far -- My Favorite Shows | | | | As I see my taste drifting further and further from that of a lot of other anime fans, I thought I'd just run through the year and figure out which anime have been my favorites so far.My favorite show of the summer season was definitely Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto -- Natsu no Sora. Lots of people... | | |
| 1:12am | Itazura na Kiss - 25 (Finale) |  | | | And so with this episode Itazura na Kiss comes to a close. Basically the episode was about Naoki, Kotoko and Kotomi going back to Naoki’s home town where his grandparents live. With this we saw a flashback where Kotoko had to be “accepted” by his grandpa as Naoki’s wife and... | | |
| 7:00am | Itazura na Kiss - 23 |  | | | Kotoko tries to help Matsumoto and Sudou when they have problems after Matsumoto is admitted to the hospital. Impressions: I thought this episode was great. The best part was the conflict that Matsumoto was having with Sudou. For the most part Kotoko’s pregnancy didn’t really affect anything too... | | |
| 2:31am | Itazura na Kiss And Where You Can Go on a Train | | | | There’s not a whole lot to say about the romance story of Itazura na Kiss. Yet at the same time, there’s a whole lot to say that should and will be said about a story that is integrated within societal norms, posed both from the perspective of the ones in love and the various viewpoints... | | |
| 7:07pm | Itazura na Kiss Review - 75/100 | | | | It’s quite ironic: Itazura na Kiss is based on a manga that started its serialization in 1990, and was probably one of the pioneers in the shoujo romantic comedy-genre, and its premise still stands out as an original one: never have we travelled this much into the life of the lead couple. Where... | | |
| 9:11pm | Itazura na Kiss - Episode 24 | | | | Itazurs na Kiss has been a long and winding road to watch, and unfortunately most of that road has been on a steep downward incline, filling me with more hate and bile then I imagined possible from any anime series.Given those twenty-three episodes of anguish, it's actually quite amazing that this series... | | |
