| 1:27am | Birdy the Mighty Decode Review | | | | Birdy was one of the pleasant surprises of the summer season. I’d written off the show before it started for two reasons: the publicity pictures of the show were not enticing in the least and I read that there was a decade old OVA of Birdy that was not too memorable. Thankfully, I read a few good... | | |
| 8:25am | The Fall Call: Fall 2008 Anime Preview | | | | I know, I know, I’m late– things have gotten very busy with my project. But here it is: your Fall 2008 anime preview! A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
| 2:23pm | [Anime Bento] Watchlist Fall - Winter 2008 | | | | What are you going to watch this Fall? As written up earlier on my previous post. Here is a list of anime I would like to check out at least the 1st few episodes. I will be updating throughout the post with additional videos PVs for each series as I find them. Currently a bit busy with other things... | | |
| 2:34pm | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 13 | | | | Short Synopsis: It’s time for the local shrine festival and Ponta gets kidnapped by a manipulative woman. Highlights: Someone hired different animators?

| 11:25pm | Code Geass Stops, Excited and Satisfied Kids Get Off the Rollercoaster | | | | I’m not a big theme park person but I’ve been to a few of them. At one point in my life I used to go every year. In a way, big-budget mainstream anime are a bit like amusement park rides. At least in the US, where land is plenty and people pay an arm and leg to go to them, theme parks attract... | | |
| 9:24pm | TheBigN’s Crappy One/Two-Liner 2008 Fall Preview |  | | | As I’ve stated before, I haven’t done these things before because for most of the shows, I don’t know jack about them, so I thought there was no point. Well, I still think there’s no point in the matter, but because I can’t really think of anything else to post about for... | | |
| 12:43pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode Review - 82,5/100 | | | | My three personal favourite series are the following: 1) Mahou Shoujotai, 2) Noein, 3) Visions of Escaflowne. Because Mahou Shoujotai wasn’t directed by just one guy, but a whole bunch of directors and the latter two were directed by the guy called Kazuki Akane, it’s pretty safe to say... | | |
| 12:14am | Fresh Autumn Flavors | | | | Is it already that time of year? It’s been warm lately - I’m sitting outside, enjoying it at this very moment - but the leaves are nonetheless changing color and the nights are growing cooler. The cold and snow is just around the corner. I don’t know how much value there is in doing... | | |
| 10:17pm | Honya’s Fall 2008 Watch List | | | | Epic Anime Season is Epic. Fall season will be starting in just a few days time and it is looking to be one of the best in recent memory. With shows like CLANNAD: After Story and Gundam 00 Second Season, this coming season looks like it will be Fall 2007 remix version 2.0. There are also plenty of... | | |
| 10:09am | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 12 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume gets a very nasty curse put on his arm. Highlights: ZOMG Second Season! Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Ah, thank goodness this series is getting its second season. The show is nice and all, but there’s so much potential left that still needs to be touched. This concept... | | |
| 6:31pm | Just Watched the New Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae Trailer | | | | As the title says, just finished watching the four-and-a-half minute trailer and once again I’m really excited about it. The first two minutes or so are essentially just recaps of Jigoku Shoujo and Futakomori with various shots from the series including spoilers of the ends. Midway through we... | | |
