| 2:42pm | Cross Game - 24 | | | | I’d like again to hijack this post for a bit to post up some impressions of the past half year of anime. Now that most of the series of the past Spring and Summer Season are about to end, it’s time to reflect on them again, and how they matched up to previous years. My general impression... | | |
| 8:35pm | Shangri-La - 16 | | | | Muaha! I just can’t help but love this series. This episode yet again was an awesome instalment for Shangri-La, mostly focused on a battle of wits between Ryouko and Mikuni, of all people, and it definitely delivered. The thing I love about Ryouko is that the creators remembered to give her... | | |
| 3:30pm | Shangri-La - 15 | | | | Okay, you know that a series is is badly received when even the raws of the local World Masterpiece Theatre series get released faster. It’s really such a shame to see that Gonzo is going through such bad times right now. In July 30th, they’re going to be delisted from the the stock exchange,... | | |
| 1:59pm | Anime nowadays is at a standstill. True or not? | | | | Okay, so the discussion has been going on in a number of posts and shoutboxes, but the subject is interesting so I decided to make one post about it. Blogsome unfortunately doesn’t support the option to move comments, so I’ll instead quote what the different people have said about it. It... | | |
| 4:03pm | ‘Celebration by Seira Kagami’ Review |  | | | You don’t have to be a constant follower to know that I don’t review any other than doujin albums. There are some exceptions but this will be the first review of an official album or any such thing. Unless I’m forgetting a review somewhereThis is Seira-sama’s first album. Her... | | |
| 10:28pm | Somerset Somersault: AnimeNEXT 2009 | | | | This past weekend I attended AnimeNEXT in New Jersey. While held this year in Somerset at the Garden State Exhibit Center and conjoined Somerset Doubletree Hotel, in years prior the convention was held at the Meadowlands Arena in Secaucus. However, seeing as this was my first ever AnimeNEXT this did... | | |
| 7:42am | Summer 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | This seems to happen every time, just when I’m finally feel like I’ve got used to the season’s mix of shows, a new season comes along and offers a completely different set of shows to watch.At the start of the spring season, I was unsure if there’d be as many quality titles as the past several... | | |
| 6:46am | Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 Series Review | | | | With spring impressions out of the way, I’ve got some time to finish up the previous season’s anime. First up is one of the best shows of the winter season, Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 but before we get there, I wanted to mention a couple new additions to my series review posts starting with this... | | |
| 3:44am | Animation Quality is QUALITY | | | | I occasionally praise the animation quality of something, but I usually don’t really convey the aesthetics aspect with those statements. I’m not very rigorous about those casual praises either. I do, however, talk about aesthetics separately because I think it’s important. Anime is... | | |
| 4:00pm | Face Off: Mike, Ray, and Mori Meta-tate on Anime and Art |  | | | Yes, moritheil has become a discussion partner in this revival of our Face Off feature! Please enjoy this rather meta-level discussion about whether anime can be treated like art or not. Mike: today’s topic: “is anime art?” For myself, I actually addressed this issue at length in... | | |
| 9:32pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 23 | | | | Short Synopsis: Birdy starts to search for Natoru. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) And so this series continues its string of utterly incredible episodes. Oh boy, it sure has set a incredibly high standard for the rest of 2009. It’s going to be interesting whether the rest of the year can produce... | | |
| 6:40pm | Haru and Nakiami Going at It | | | | I think I’ve had enough time spent stewing on the idea of a Xam’d post that it’s time to get down to it. The first draft of this post had a motif that combined the lyrics of “Vacancy” with “LISTEN TO MY SONG!” It is likely a good thing that I’ve dropped... | | |
| 7:39am | The Proper Way to Partake of Sushi |  | | | Those of you wishing to visit Japan should take note of this rather informative video on how to properly eat sushi. Subtitles are included so understanding the Japanese should not be a problem. The video is currently enjoying quite a bit of popularity on the NicoNico Daily Charts, ranked at number... | | |
