| 5:14pm | Because I Heard People are Hating on Junjou Romantica | | | | With an explosive display of stars and blossoms, Junjou Romantica(純情ロマンチ ) rallies forth its troupe of blushing bishies onscreen to —-you guessed it—- the solid beat of yet another perky anime intro. And once the (star)dust and petals have settled, and the fanfares have... | | |
| 10:03pm | Tales of the Abyss - 06 |  | | | Brief summaries for the next couple days because I packed away the keyboard and typing on this laptop really sucks lol. Tales has gone from the Junjou Romantica path to the to Love Poo path with everyone & their grandma wanting Luke. By everyone I mean Natalia and Anise while Tear rolls her eyes.... | | |
| 2:56am | Junjou Romantica 2 - 04 |  | | | This week was the big comeback for the Egoist pairing, which frankly I didn’t really care about. I’m sorry, but I feel this pairing is more like aimed at the hardcore yaoi fangirls who are used to these kind of BL stories and enjoy reading Antique Gaykery doujins. I admit I found the scene... | | |
| 6:52pm | Happy Halloween: Upcoming Downtime |  | | | Happy Halloween everyone! At least unlike other bloggers, I actually post MY OWN fanart instead of stealing others’ Just a brief FYI - on 11/7 I am moving (again - woohoo Nomad life ftw!) so it’s very likely that any shows from next Thursday the 6th - Sunday the 9th will probably be skipped.... | | |
| 3:05am | Junjou Romantica 2 - 03 |  | | | Okayyyyy, I think we’ve had enough of this pairing for now (time to bring the Terrorist couple back!). Three episodes in a row, yet nothing got resolved in the end? Lame. The first two chapters of this arc were actually really fun so I thought this week we’d get to see an exciting conclusion... | | |
| 4:40am | Junjou Romantica 2: #01 | | | | Guess what they did. *Hint: Not chess*College hasth made me come out of the closet.

| 1:46am | Junjou Romantica 2 - 02 |  | | | “I think I’ll take you away from Akihiko. I like you.” I dunno if all this situation is supposed to be taken seriously or not, but this is actually pretty fun. Usami is still pretty upset about the whole award party business so Misaki tries to tell him that he should just accept... | | |
| 12:58am | 2008 Anime DVD Sales Ranking |  | | | Here we have the rather interesting DVD sales ranking for 2008 anime, in this case focused on the first volume as a proxy for total popularity. There are a number of interesting results within the list, but the top and bottom are likely not surprising. These numbers are the number of DVDs sold over... | | |
| 1:29am | Vampire Knight Gulity - Night 1 | | | | One of the three returning shows I was looking forward to this season: Vampire Knight Guilty (the other two were Gundam 00 and Junjou Romantica, if you were wondering). The episode starts off one week after the end of the first season, which kind of threw me off because 1) I was expecting a same | | |
| 3:12am | Junjou Romantica 2 - 01 |  | | | Oh noes it’s back! First, I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Taiyaki from the now dead “Four Flavors of Taiyaki” blog. A while ago, Hinano asked me if I was interested in blogging JR season 2 at her site because she wasn’t really planning on doing so. As you can see,... | | |
| 5:04pm | I Will Neither Blog Nor Watch Junjou Romantica Ever Again, But… | | | | …someone else will, in my behalf (if the subs come out, that is), considering that he is the true Junjou Romantica fan (yes you heard me write, he’s a fudanshi ). As such, it’s gonna be from a [slightly] biased POV too. I’m looking forward to reading his posts myself, knowing well that he is... | | |

| 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.
