| 6:25pm | Opening Vids List - Summer 2008 |  | | | THAT is back with another season Op’s post, but this time things are a bit different. To allow all the team to comment on the posts, we’ve dropped the rankings and we are checking each opening individually (this also avoids the issues of internal competition inside THAT. I was constantly... | | |
| 3:27pm | Kaiba episode 12 (the final episode) review, love conquers all. | | | | At the beginning of this episode we see the memory eating plant Kaiba approaching Warp’s planet. Then we get a narration from Warp about the history of that planet and how people have always strived to place themselves above other people and how the electrolytic cloud was placed... | | |
| 6:47pm | Kaiba is a difficult show to watch | | | | A very good show yes, but a difficult one nonetheless. Kaiba is a very intelligent show, but so are a lot of other shows. The difference, however, is that while something like Crest of the Stars appeals to the viewer’s intelligence, it does not actively try to challenge that intelligence as... | | |
| 10:44pm | Kaiba Series Review | | | | I remember the first time I became aware of this show – I was reading THAT Animeblog’s spring preview - something about the picture drew my interest. I had a feeling it would be a good show but with little more then that feeling to go on I decided to leave it off my spring preview. Looking back... | | |
| 1:55pm | Kaiba | | | | Wow, it is really difficult to get pictures of Kaiba. I keep getting that idiot from Yu-gi-oh.You often hear the word ‘gem’ be used to describe anime. But what does a gem actually mean? It means:You won’t hear of it oftenIt will be difficult to find (a few years after its release)It... | | |
| 6:23pm | Final thoughts on Kaiba | | | | Right from the get-go Kaiba proved to be certainly one of the most unusual but also one of the most thought-provoking shows of recent months. In light of Masaaki Yuasa’s penchant for the extremely odd (when I mean extremely odd I mean it in a Holden Caulfield-italicised extremely) I wasn’t... | | |
| 6:58am | Review: Kaiba (90%) |  | | | Facing it In the end, no words were necessary to bring this thoughtful, emotionally resonant work of art to a close. So much was resolved not with words, but with gestures, looks, and the thoughts that have no need to be said aloud. I have become so conditioned to certain kinds of endings in both mainstream... | | |
| 1:00pm | Weekly Review of Anime Watched (Aug3 – Aug 9) | | | | With a large backlog that I had to work on, I gravitated to shows that I liked. As a consequence, most of the episodes received high marks (and the week break probably helped as well). One show in particular, Nabari No Ou, I have let get backlogged badly and will try to catch that one for the next weekly... | | |
| 9:35pm | Kaiba episode 11 review, who really rules the world? | | | | This episode begins with a flashback to Popo’s childhood, it recalls Popo’s goals and wishes for the future. Then as Popo leaves the area that Warp and Neiro had their battle he runs into Sate and they get chased by some mechanical robots. When the get back to the underworld area... | | |
| 11:56am | Birdy The Mighty: DECODE 4 - Catching Up Along With The Fansubs Is Fun | | | | Especially when they increase their RAW quality from crappy to good. Short Summary: The interview with Shyamalan goes ahead as planned, and he claims he wants to make everybody in the world happy. Senkawa and Birdy continue living as normal, complete with arguing and banter, until the bastard he decides... | | |
| 5:02am | Otakon08 Quickie: Kaiji and Ninja Scroll Sequels On The Way | | | | So, I didn’t get to hit up the Madhouse/Maruyama Q&A session because it was at the same time as Media Blasters, but fortunately Japanator’s Brad Rice did, because apparently sequels to both Kaiji and Ninja Scroll. Mmmmdelicious episodes whose only actual action are the flipping of... | | |
| 8:52am | Kaiba 11 - Did they HAVE to pull THAT ending again? |  | | | "I have a DEVIOUS plan to copy Hideaki Anno!" Edit: I just found out that the last episode of this show is now out. I will submit my final review tomorrow. What is it with this ilk of anime and the fascination with Human Instrumentality grand, individuality-erasing unification, anyway? I refer... | | |
