| 2:54am | Itazura na Kiss | | | | Sweetmy first Pentax sighting! Sort of shaped like an old SF series, but I couldn’t care less since it’s a Pentax. [ep5]And a Nikon, but nobody cares. I don’t even remember which episode it was from. | | |
| 1:57am | Romantic Rematch! Toshokan Sensou challenges ItaKiss and Special A | | | | Following the two-and-change shoujo shows in this season has been an interesting look at the sort of evolution this genre has undergone in the 21st century. There are distinct kinds of styles found in these shows tailored for the female audience - although they still manage to find a large audience... | | |

| 11:41pm | Itazura na Kiss - 06 |  | | | XD I rather enjoyed this episode and for once I’ll give props to Naoki for being pretty awesome when the going gets tough. Glad to see him warming up to Kotoko despite the fact that I wanted to run his balls through a meat grinder. This week they go through the New Years arc but that flew by... | | |

| 8:03pm | Itazura na Kiss 5 | | | | Someone can't quit smoking. After 'attempting' to study at Irie's house, Kotoko's friends end up having Naoki do all the work instead. They then proceed to flaunt their achievements to the rest of Class F, and before Naoki knows it he's got an entire class of dumbos at his... | | |
| 2:25pm | Itazura na Kiss - 05 | | | | Now I know this is only an anime, but seeing how stupid everyone in a class can be is kind of ridiculous. I have some friends who were pretty stupid during high school but not to the point of where they couldn’t understand anything of a math problem. And my impression of a Japanese schooling system... | | |
| 9:00pm | Itazura na Kiss - 05 |  | | | Kotoko asks Naoki to help tutor her and most of Class F so they can get good enough scores to get into college. Impressions:This episode was alright. There isn’t anything really big in it and I’m suspecting that we won’t see much of a drastic change in the way this show is going for a long time.... | | |
| 1:34am | Itazura na Kiss: old story made new | | | | As soon as I saw episode 1 of the anime, I went and download all 23 volumes of the manga. I read the manga before but the scanlations were so slow so I stopped. I didn’t have much expectation when I started but this turns out to be one of the much better show this season (I like shows that can... | | |
| 3:48pm | Itazura na Kiss: Flirting and Kotoko | | | | Best photo ever. I honestly no longer think Irie actually has any kind of animosity or apathetic feelings towards Kotoko any more at all. If he was apathetic, he wouldn’t even bother to talk to her, let alone cede to her demands upon his time. If he was actively hostile to her, then he certainly... | | |
| 12:26am | Anime Diet Radio Episode 20: 20th Century Fox Spirits |  | | | Note: the above does not constitute an endorsement of Kanokon as a good show. And here we are, at the big 20 for Anime Diet Radio! This episode does have some issues, though. Some of our information has turned out to be wrong about various subjects discussed in here–namely, for instance, that... | | |
| 2:00pm | Itazura na Kiss 05: Beware of Kotoko Bearing Gifts |  | | | Stop screaming Jinko Ah the bitterness of finals how well I know it and how much I loathe it. Kotoko and her class are indeed pathologically stupid, but I guess that is why they have to make up for it a low cunning. Except of course Kin-chan whose ambition in life is incredibly simple, everyone else... | | |
| 11:16pm | Itazura na Kiss - 05 |  | | | I thought this episode was only going to focus on the studying/college crap but it surprised me as nearly halfway through they went right into Christmas. I mean no offense to Kotoko, but sometimes I feel that she and her friends are so stupid. As hard as Japanese mock tests are difficult and all, how... | | |
| 1:52pm | April Summary | | | | So, most series have had four episodes aired now. So far, the season is looking quite promising, with many good series that have debuted. I’ve been noticing an on-going trend though, about how much more 13 episode-series appear. It’s a shame, because a lot of these series could have easily been... | | |
