| 1:30am | Anime Face-off: Itazura vs Special A | | | | Were moving on to the next bracket in Face-off. Yesterday featured an epic battle between two heavy weights - Macross Frontier vs Code Geass. Today we’re featuring the light weights, it’s Itazura na Kiss vs Special A. What? You were expecting La Blue Girl vs Bible Black? Anyways for... | | |
| 3:45pm | Itazura na Kiss - 10 |  | | | I quite enjoyed this week’s episode. It started out as kinda draggy but then it picked up halfway through. Also for those curious, the insert song is “Jikan Yo Tomare feat. SEAMO” by AZU. Anyway the beginning of the episode features Kotoko moving out of the Irie house to live in an... | | |
| 10:53pm | Itazura no Kiss - Episode 9 | | | | Well, it may have taken eight occasionally tortuous episodes but it seems that, as of episode nine, we may have finally reached a point in Itazura no Kiss where Naoki lightens up and becomes less of the nasty piece of work he's been thus far. Hallelujah!Quite simply, this is the episode that the series... | | |
| 9:25pm | Special A - Episode 7 | | | | After the thought of Kei being in love with her was implanted into her head during last episode's party, Hikari begins episode seven of Special A having rather a lot of trouble shaking those thoughts from her mind. Similarly, Kei is determined to find out what was said to her, and with the gang arguing... | | |
| 8:28am | Which Do You Hate More? | | | | Let’s have some seiyuu time, shall we?First off:Jinko Jinko-chan from Itazura na Kiss, one of Kotoko’s best friends. When she screams, she shatters glass within 100km radius from her. When she talks, she makes whoever-unfortunate-enough-to- be-near-her bleed from the ear. When she whispers,... | | |
| 2:43am | Itazura na Kiss: Princess of Tennis; or, Holy Plot Development, Batman! | | | | I see now why episode 8 was seemingly bereft of reversal-of-fortune moments for Kotoko. They were saving up for the big one, Elizabeth. This episode was supremely entertaing for several reasons, the first of which being that Sudou is ridiculously awesome. I don’t know why, exactly, but he’s... | | |
| 2:04pm | May Summary | | | | I noticed that this season, there are a lot of really good 13-episode series. Much more than usual. This trend seems to become more and more popular. In some cases, it’s unfortunate, because some series would be able to show their potential even more with 26 episodes. #23 (16) - Allison to Lillia... | | |

| 12:24am | Itazura na Kiss - 09 | | | | I admit that this week I just couldn’t feel sorry for Kotoko. I mean she was just acting incredibly stupid. The stupid tennis raquet marks on her face didn’t help either. Also Jinko lusting over some guy made something inside me die. What I found to be incredibly weird in this episode is... | | |
| 11:52pm | T.H.A.T.’s Summer 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | Summer timeand the livin’s easy Since Impz has bailed on us for three weeks to go to some academic conference, the duty of creating the THAT Anime Blog Summer 2008 Preview falls to me. Thankfully it’s not a fall or spring preview or I’d have to kill him. This preview uses pretty much the... | | |
| 9:45pm | Itazura no Kiss - Episode 8 | | | | After an episode finale last time around that gave me at least the tiniest, slightest glimmer of hope for some progress in part eight of Itazura no Kiss, here I am a broken and dejected man once again.Although everyone has moved on from high school to university, little has changed in Kotoko's life -... | | |
| 9:37pm | Itazura na Kiss - 07 | | | | Graduations in anime series usually tend to bring a few laughs, and in Itazura na Kiss, it surely didn’t disappoint. Kotoko’s fantasies of winning over Naoki with prestige was just so out of place that I couldn’t help but laugh. However I would have to say that Kin-chan stole the show... | | |
| 1:00am | Itazura na Kiss - 08 |  | | | Kotoko goes off to her first day of college and tries to decide what to do after her kiss with Naoki. Impressions:I was quite impressed with this episode. I thought they handled the brief time skip rather well and it was interesting to see the small changes that have kind of occurred with the time step.... | | |
