| 7:33am | September Summary | | | | Overall, I don’t think I’m ever going to label the past half year as the best that anime can give. Instead, the past season stood out with its large amount of series that at first sight don’t seem to stand a chance, and yet turn out to be surprisingly solid and enjoyable. My top 10... | | |
| 10:44pm | Hakushaku to Yousei - 01 |  | | | Err so it seems the fall season has begun. Before I go any further, thank you to whoever recommended smplayer to me, it does wonders to my shitty computer!

Lots of people... | | |
| 1:12am | Itazura na Kiss - 25 (Finale) |  | | | And so with this episode Itazura na Kiss comes to a close. Basically the episode was about Naoki, Kotoko and Kotomi going back to Naoki’s home town where his grandparents live. With this we saw a flashback where Kotoko had to be “accepted” by his grandpa as Naoki’s wife and... | | |
| 7:00am | Itazura na Kiss - 23 |  | | | Kotoko tries to help Matsumoto and Sudou when they have problems after Matsumoto is admitted to the hospital. Impressions: I thought this episode was great.

| 2:31am | Itazura na Kiss And Where You Can Go on a Train | | | | There’s not a whole lot to say about the romance story of Itazura na Kiss.

| 7:07pm | Itazura na Kiss Review - 75/100 | | | | It’s quite ironic: Itazura na Kiss is based on a manga that started its serialization in 1990, and was probably one of the pioneers in the shoujo romantic comedy-genre, and its premise still stands out as an original one: never have we travelled this much into the life of the lead couple. Where... | | |
| 9:11pm | Itazura na Kiss - Episode 24 | | | | Itazurs na Kiss has been a long and winding road to watch, and unfortunately most of that road has been on a steep downward incline, filling me with more hate and bile then I imagined possible from any anime series.Given those twenty-three episodes of anguish, it's actually quite amazing that this series... | | |

All the while making us laugh at Kotoko’s silly antics.[Summary]It starts with Kotoko having... | | |

| 7:30am | Zettai happy ni naru kara ne! | | | | Best. Episode. Ever. (of Itazura na Kiss that is) Shows like Itazura na Kiss that follow a love story well beyond a couple first getting together (and touch upon other aspects of life) are few. Obviously, there are restraints due to episode counts and budget, but nevertheless, I wish there were more... | | |
