| 4:41pm | Itazura na Kiss - 11 | | | | Wow, so Naoki now has some kind of direction in life. That’s quite a turn about though I wonder if that has anything to do with last episode when Kotoko suggested that Naoki become a doctor. So we do see signs that Kotoko is indeed making changes to Naoki’s life and in a positive way. Though... | | |
| 3:11pm | Itazura na Kiss - 10 | | | | So the premise of this episode was Kotoko being separated from the rest of the Irie family and I thought that it would create some great development.

| 12:38am | Itazura na Kiss - 12 |  | | | I’m still recovering from the shock of Futae no Kiwami being wiped off Nico but anyway. Last week was some sort of volleyball tournament and so ItaKiss skipped a broadcast. So this week Naoki is approached by one of his dad’s co-workers who gives him a proposal to have an “omiai”... | | |

| 2:10am | Defining 90s Shoujo…maybe | | | | When speaking of the spring 2008 show Itazura no Kiss, the way I and others describe it as “so very 90s shoujo.” And it’s true. The show, even animated in 2008, screams the conventions of shoujo from that decade, which is no surprise seeing as the manga is from the 90s. But then,... | | |

| 12:19am | Home Again | | | | I spent some time this weekend catching up with Toshokan Sensou, a show I lost all enthusiasm for only a few episodes in, initial interest notwithstanding. Like a lot of people, my disappointment with the show was a direct response to its ridiculous premise. However, having given it a second try,... | | |
| 2:21pm | Watching “Telepathy Shoujo Ran” makes me feel like the late 1990s | | | | So, I got the chance to get a very poor low resolution version of Telepathy Shoujo Ran. Some people who have a personal encounter with me knows that I can tolerate a series without much graphical excellence.

| 2:41pm | [Housekeeping] Iwa ni Hana evolves once again | | | | I know I have swung the emphasis of this blog before in the past: First it was arthouse Japanese animation, then it was arthouse animation with no emphasis on any country of origin in particular, and now this time it has swung to: Art-house Animation and Illustration: Commentary and Analysis (with... | | |
| 9:20pm | Itazura na Update | | | | Wait, what? A popped collar? Seriously? Your torturous unrequited love is for a guy who pops his collar? Funny thing about Itazura na Kiss. It’s not very good-looking, its protagonist is a big dummy, it has no flash factor, and when you get down to it, it covers fairly standard shoujo themes.... | | |

| 4:33am | Itazura na Kiss: Alas, The Title Was Literal, Not Metaphorical | | | | I would like to use the screencap comment to point out that this is exactly how I felt after the events from 10:03 to 10:12. Yes, I, like everyone else, was pranked, and pranked hard. On the other hand, it’s now quite cool in my room, what with the new hole in the wall and all Of course, they... | | |
