| 12:42am | コードひとり言： 反逆のヒナノ |  | | | Sorry for the terrible Code Geass pun but I’m in that mood today thanks to this. While being away for a week without really any anime blogging I kept thinking a lot of things. Today is all boiled to the surface and I have decided to do a restructuring of this blog. If you want to skip reading... | | |
| 3:47am | Skip Beat!: No Skipping, But Lots of Beating | | | | Daikon beating, to be exact. I’ve just watched the first three episodes of Skip Beat! and I am wondering two things:What just hit me, andDo I want it to hit me again? Having just come off Itazura na Kiss, Skip Beat is like a 180° from the antics of Kotoko wooing Irie, except it’s more... | | |
| 3:29am | Itazura na Kiss: THE FINAL FIVE: A combination post of bubbles and confusion | | | | CLARIFICATION: Confusion in the post, not in the show. I am recording any stray thoughts I have as I progress through the final five episodes of Itazura na Kiss, which I have lamentably procrastinated watching until now. Here are the notes arranged by episode, and hopefully I can exhaust my nigh-inexahustable... | | |
| 10:05am | One Outs = Total Sports Anime Ripoff | | | | Decided to watch One Outs episode 1 last weekend since it’s been subbed, and my initial impression could be summed up as: Toa is Hiruma’s long lost twin, not to mention they exude the same aura too. I’m sure TheBigN can attest to this. So you can say that we’ve got some (Hiru)MANservice... | | |
| 3:33am | Owen on Itakiss |  | | | I finally got around to reading Owen’s Itazura na Kiss round-up. He reminded me that it was noticeable in the reactions how feminist brainwashing pressed on minds of some (in particular Jen’s screed had way more seething than what Owen quoted in the round-up). As for not taking anime seriously,... | | |
| 10:35pm | How (not) to enjoy Itazura na Kiss |  | | | This post was originally supposed to be about how Itazura na Kiss was the Entwicklungsroman of shoujo and a show par excellence through elaboration of how the unique combination of slice-of-life and shoujo produced both escalating conflict and substantial character development at the same time, but... | | |
| 9:15pm | Autumn ‘08 impressions: week 2 | | | | Another week and the last of my autumn anime impressions. Right now, it feels like this is an exciting time to be an anime fan. There is so much that’s actually worth watching at the moment that it really seems like every day I’m adding more and more to my back-log. Naturally, I’m... | | |
| 8:36pm | Out with the old anime, in with the New | | | | FINISHED! * Allison and Lilia - solid B+ adventure * Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - brought out my inner fangirl; late-game cockblocking was a little annoying, but in line with the show’s general demeanor * Itazura na Kiss - This got dull, but I finished it anyway. Needed morelulz. * Special A... | | |
| 12:26am | Toradora vs. Akane-iro ni Somura Saka | | | | A new season means a new round of pudding fights to the death. This season we are putting two romantic comedies up against each other - Toradora vs Akane-iro ni Somura Saka. Lets hope we don’t get lazy or get fed up with one of these shows so we can continue this for the whole season. ... | | |
| 7:15am | Casshern Sins - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Casshern ends up at a small refugee village of robots. Highlights: Surprisingly solid. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 As for the shows I’m not blogging (as usual, this isn’t really about “is this good?”, but “do I feel like writing about it every single... | | |
| 5:00pm | Itazura na Kiss - 25 [Final] |  | | | Kotoko, Kotomi, and Naoki head to Naoki’s grandfather’s house where he was born and Kotoko recalls the first time they took a trip there. Impressions: I was a bit disappointed that this episode wasn’t a giant epilogue. From what we’ve seen so far I really love the scenes with Kotomi in it. She’s... | | |
| 11:32pm | Skip Beat - 01 | | | | Haha this show is so much win! It’s good to see a heroine who after getting completely insulted and used actually beat the shit out of the faggot who’s responsible and then vow REVENGE! I like it already! Although her image change was so drastic she looked like a completely different... | | |
| 7:00pm | Itazura na Kiss - 24 | | | | Naoki must perform his first surgery by himself to save Matsumoto and Kotoko goes into labor. Impressions: I thought this episode was pretty good. It was nice seeing things be very warm and not having to deal with things becoming that way. No real problems with Naoki’s attitude or anything, he really... | | |
| 9:56am | Itazura na Kiss 25 [FINAL]: Meet The Isshiki’s | | | | Oh god look at all the Naoki eyes roflA tad late on that one.Kotoko is excited about the vacation Naoki has planned with her to Kyuushuu, though she’s unaware as to the real nature of it. She’s content with believing that she’ll get some alone time with Naoki, but instead she gets to... | | |
| 10:05pm | Itazura na Kiss - Episode 25 (Completed) | | | | Of all the series I've watched over the past couple of seasons, I think Itazura na Kiss would have been my least likely candidate for a show I'd hope for a bonus episode of. Yet, after the series proper finished last week, here I am with episode twenty-five to watch. All in all, it's a bit like receiving... | | |
