| 1:15am | First Impressions: Kanokon & Itazura na Kiss | | | | Spring is here and my crusade to find a new series to blog have begun. Today in examination are two completely different love stories: Kanokon and Itazura na Kiss. From now on, I will give first impressions a rating. + means it´s a good series. It doesn´t need to be awesome to get this rate, | | |
| 12:32am | spring 2008: girly day |  | | | As expected, I was forced to watch Special A and Vampire Knight. Special A was quite girly, albeit not as girly as Itazura na Kiss. It did not, after all, have a girl daydreaming about marrying (AND ONLY AFTER MARRYING) and kissing a bishie. Most of my enjoyment from that show came from tossing out... | | |
| 10:38pm | Itazura na Kiss 1 | | | | Physics-defying orange juice Aihara Kotoko is a girl who has a crush on a guy named Irie Naoki. She decides to write a love letter to Naoki, and presents it to him the next day. However, she's instantly rejected, Naoki doesn't even deign to accept her letter. Kotoko fell for Naoki two... | | |
| 9:59pm | Itazura na Kiss episode 1 | | | | Itazura na Kiss is one of the new series out right now. It’s based on the manga series by the same name. For those in the asian drama scene, you might recognized this as the popular Taiwanese series called It started with a kiss (惡作劇之吻 / 恶作剧之吻 / E Zuo Ju Zhi Wen ), or the Japanese... | | |

| 7:46pm | Itazura na Kiss, ToLoveRu, & Kurenai | | | | The face of rejection Continuing with watching anything with a “01″, I picked up Itazura na Kiss, ToLoveRu, and Kurenai. All which piqued my interest a bit. Itazura na Kiss is a romantic comedy anime, one of my favorite genres, so this one has a high chance of me continuing to watch. Also,... | | |

| 5:03pm | Itazura na Kiss ~ First Impressions |  | | | ANN Encyclopedia | AniDB | AnimeNfo Airdate: April 5th OP: “Kimi, Meguru, Boku (キミ、メグル、ボク)” by Motohiro Hata ED: “Kataomoi Fighter (片思いファイター)” by GO!GO!7188 Production: TMS Entertainment I went into this wanting shoujo and comedy and that’s... | | |
| 2:57pm | Thou Shall Not Diss The Artwork of Itazura na Kiss! | | | | Ok, so Itazura na Kiss aired just a few days ago and many people are complaining about its crappy artwork. It just makes me sigh. Young’ns nowadays don’t know how to appreciate good oldschool 80’s or 90’s shoujo art. Tsk. I might sound old, but I assure you, I am not! As... | | |
| 8:42pm | Snapshots: Itazura na Kiss |  | | | Now there's a new romantic comedy for the ladies, in Itazura na Kiss (イタズラなKiss), airing 26 episodes every Friday at 26:25 JST on TBS. | | |
| 5:50pm | Itazura na Kiss 01 - It’s shoujo, alright. | | | | Flavor: Mild Initial reaction: Rejected! This was actually quite good. I mean, yeah, the male protagonist is a total dick, and the whole “house collapsing because of an earthquake that random guy banging his head against the wall” seemed like a pretty weak reason to simply make the girl... | | |
| 11:45am | Itazura no Kiss Episode 1 - “The avalanche of shoujo series is here!” |  | | | The second day of the new releases bring about a slightly different twist. The first day brought more exotic offerings such as Allison to Lillia (that is going to be neglected somewhat by the mainstream audience) and Kure-nai (Go, Murasaki! You are the haughtiest loli I have seen for a while!). You... | | |
| 12:33am | Friday Premieres: MMORPGs and Collapsing Houses |  | | | Tower of Druaga - So despite Aroduc’s summary (which I made a good decision in the end not to base my opinion of this show on) I decided to watch this show after seeing the number of parodies mentioned by Kurogane. I was pretty amused that in the OP it looks like they’re showing normal... | | |
| 12:32am | i liked tower of druaga better when it was called “MC” |  | | | So I honestly have no idea where this show is going to go. The OP made the show seem like it was going to be about people that play an MMO. The ED made it seem like it was going to be about the MMO. Then the episode itself was basically a parody of MMOs. The parody part was hilarious, although I... | | |
