| 7:52am | [anime] mid-season review | | | | So most of the series airing at the moment are up to their 7th or 8th episodes - TIME FOR A MASS REVIEW! I shy away from weekly or episodic reviews because everyone and their mothers are doing them - plus my anime watching habits don’t really suit that sort of reviewing schedule. [Macross F]... | | |
| 4:42am | Itazura na Kiss 8: The Reason Why Naoki Rejects Girls | | | | Mystery solved: Naoki is not straight Break is over, and Kotoko and Irie prepare for their first day at college. Kotoko can't stop thinking about Irie's kiss with her the night of the graduation party, so she makes the mistake of telling Satomi and Jinko. (I'm sure she'll regret that... | | |
| 5:06am | Itazura na Kiss: One Step Forward, 6.022×10^23 Steps Back | | | | Although for all we know each of those steps back was as long as a Planck length, so maybe there’s still hope! And there’s still 18 episodes left, anyway. I’m frightened of the remaining episode count. I might destroy my monitor in a fit of passionate rage somewhere around episode... | | |
| 3:37am | Itazura na KISS checkpoint! |  | | | The fight heats up as Kotoko encounters her mortal enemy!And did I mention Irie is such a damn tease? Karma is going bite him in the rear end one of these episodes. I’m guessing either Kotoko eventually goes nuts and starts distributing those photos to the university or Irie finally goes overboard.... | | |
| 1:12pm | Itazura na Kiss 2-6: the tenacious Kotoko and the tsun-tsun Naoki | | | | I’ve been trying to come up with a reason for finding this show so addictive - is it because Kotoko shares the same VA talent as two of my other favourite female leads, Darker than Black’s Kirihara and Tokyo Marble Chocolate’s Chizuru? Possibly. In all honesty though, everything about... | | |
| 10:58pm | Weekly Round-Up: May 23rd | | | | Reviewed this week: Allison and Lillia 7, Amatsuki 5, Baccano! 15, Chi’s Sweet Home 25-8, Himawari!! 4, Itazura na Kiss 7, Kurenai 7, Kyouran Kazoku Nikki 5, Nabari no Ou 5, Persona Trinity Soul 9, Toshokan Sensou 6, Wagaya no Oinari-sama 6, xxxHOLiC Kei 6…and in manga: Akagi 12-13, Elfen Lied 85,... | | |
| 10:35pm | Special A - Episode 5 | | | | After watching yet another episode of Special A, the only word which springs to mind to describe it is 'okay'. It certainly isn't terrible, but than again it's not all that great either, leaving this plainest of words as the most fitting.After threatening to dissolve into yet another rather daft contest... | | |
| 6:48pm | Itazura Na Kiss - 07 | | | | Holy crap! What a bastard! Or not! Many big images follow, beware! I hope to do this summary in all adjectives.Nostalgic. Embarrassing. Really embarrassing. Stinky. And cold.Class War! Not an adjective. mortifying. Almost noble, but actually jerky! As usual. Satisfying! Like crushing a small fruit!... | | |
| 2:33pm | in response to the massive backlog clearing question |  | | | (I was starting to write this as a comment, but it started to balloon to the point where it was practically becoming an entire post.) pack said: If you don’t mind, can you take a minute to discuss how you are watching 30 episodes of anime a week? Is this during your commute? Do you marathon 20 episodes... | | |
| 8:25am | Itazura na Kiss | | | | I’m not much for shoujo anime but this one caught by eye. (Ok fine. I’m bored because I’m waiting for Macross Frontier 8 to come out.) Itazura na Kiss is a charming little story about a girl who seems to be subject to a divine prank where she just gets drowned in rivers of misfortune.... | | |
| 12:13am | Itazura na Kiss - 08 |  | | | Ok Naoki was a TOTAL jackass!!! I mean Kotoko was pretty stupid near the end too but holy crap I wanted to drill a hole in his testicles. The way he laughed at her when she thought about him kissing her. I mean really wtf was all the “development” for? It’s like all the “softening”... | | |
| 10:34pm | Itazura no Kiss - Episode 7 | | | | Aside from granting a big exception to the final minute or so of episode seven of Itazura no Kiss, everything basically remains exactly as I seem to have described this series from day one, although if anything many of the points I initially made have only become more deeply entrenched and 'in your face'... | | |
| 4:00am | Why should I bother to continue Special A? |  | | | There are only a few shows that completely frustrate me. Shakugan no Shana and Shuffle! were nowhere near excellent, but both were enjoyable (in the end) and filled with characters that I liked. I thought the shows were rather boring in the beginning and lacked any real depth and consistency. Shuffle!... | | |
| 1:00am | Itazura na Kiss - 07 |  | | | Kotoko and the others in her class prepare for their graduation day. Impressions:Wow, this episode’s end was great. I wasn’t expecting things to get hat serious and… big. The preview did lend me to hope for some serious focus, as it showed them yelling but I didn’t think it would involve something... | | |
| 8:01am | Itazura na Kiss 7: Naoki Does WHAT? | | | | Kinnosuke and Kotoko get married. Actually OHGOD NO. In Kotoko Vision™, she is able to perform an excellent speech as Class 3-F representative, is given Naoki's second button (Okay time-out. I don't live in Japan, so I'm completely unfamiliar with this 'second-button' idea,... | | |
