| 3:23am | Shoujo Showdown! Special A vs. Itazura no Kiss, expounded to painful length | | | | I enjoy contradictions; not only in my mind-bending anime that I watch but also in what kind of anime I watch. I like to tout my love for the visual-novel conversions, a genre that is on the mild end, gender-neutral with cute girls and sad stories, and on the extreme ends, a fanservice free-for-all... | | |
| 7:10pm | Beginning of Spring Season | | | | or should I say the ultimate yaoi season? This is the probably the best anime season for gay otaku! not even half the shows are watchable by the straight audience and even from them, not even half are not shounen/harem crap. A very disappointing season in general. To sum it up:Yaoi: Himitsu, Junjou... | | |
| 11:00pm | Itazura na Kiss - 04 |  | | | Kotoko and her friends all go to the pool over their summer vacation and Naoki’s mother sets it up so Naoki goes as well. Impressions:This episode was alright. There wasn’t anything too drastically big in it, as the show really seems to be slowly progressing things, but in a good way. Still, nothing... | | |
| 4:34am | New Season Popularity in Japan -- 2channel vs. TV Ratings | | | | Macross Frontier and probably Code Geass top the list of most posted-about new shows on 2channel. Macross is at almost 87,000 posts. The most popular new shows in TV ratings, however, are Blue Dragon 2 and Net Ghost PiPoPa. I'll get to TV ratings later in the article.Unfortunately, it's hard to know... | | |
| 1:21am | Itazura na Kiss - 04 | | | | Its time for summer vacation, but unfortunately for Kotoko, she has supplementary classes. I can only imagine the pain of having to attend school during your holidays since nothing like that happens here in Australia, well as far as I’m aware. Anyway its not all that surprising to see Kotoko and... | | |
| 1:12am | Itazura na Kiss 4 | | | | Well, now we know why she's in Class F. xP Summer has arrived, and Naoki plays at the tennis club, but Kotoko must take remedial courses. Naoki's little brother, Yuuki, is currently using Kotoko's day-by-day antics as his research project, and he doesn't have very flattering things... | | |
| 2:00pm | Itazura na Kiss 04: She who laughs last laughs best. |  | | | Every time I watch this show I seem to get a bit too jittery, but I guess Kotoko is just that damn awesome. For some one who is supposed to be a block head Kotoko is fearless and inventive. As Jabba would say she’s my kind of scum. If Kotoko is an unrequited love fighter then Machiko, I mean mum,... | | |
| 5:22am | Itazura na Kiss: Slap of the Gods Part II: The Aftermath | | | | This series makes it difficult to select just one screencap sometimes. This one won the contest hands-down, though. So the turnabout that happened with the Slap of the Gods (it’s been almost a week and I’m still impressed by how epic that slap was. Yes, I know “epic” is a term... | | |
| 1:09am | More Kissing on the Horizon ~ Itazura na Kiss | | | | Well one of this new seasons shows I’m watching is Itazura na Kiss. If you havn’t seen it yet maybe this’ll give you an idea of if it’s something you’d be intersted in. As usual, our heroine, Kotoko is a high school girl with the hots for someone. The setup is that she’s... | | |
| 8:30pm | Episode of the Week - 04.25 - Itazura na Kiss - 03 |  | | | Episode of the Week: Itazura na Kiss - 03 This was a bit of a hard choice mainly because none of the shows are at any super critical amazing points. A lot of them are at points that are just…there. Nothing super exciting yet, and they are past the introduction. I think for a while a lot of shows... | | |

| 10:03am | Itazura na Kiss - 03 | | | | Even after 3 episodes this series is definitely becoming a favourite for this season as there is plenty of humour, but plenty of development as well. Though I’m surprised to see an event like the sports event so early into the series as I thought they would make some kind of wager during the event... | | |
| 2:18am | Itazura na Kiss - 04 |  | | | While watching this I said “I have no idea why I keep watching this show, Naoki is such a weiner head” and then JP reminded me that “Naoki acts like a dick for 20 minutes and then Kotoko pwns him in the last 3.” And just as KEIKAKU this pattern followed well into this episode... | | |
