| 12:26pm | Kaiba ep09: 카이바 9화 | | | | Click pictures to enlarge them. Spoilers ahead so please be cautious. So, part of my guess worked turned out to be correct after all. Popo is the one modified Neiro's memory to make him think that he is the lover when it was actually Kaiba. In this epi.. 글 전체보기 | | |
| 11:27pm | Kaiba #7 | | | | This episode marks a return of the tone and quality of the first three episodes, and what a welcome return it is. The intervening episodes have been fascinating vivid individualistic excursions into the wild worlds of Kaiba, but I have to confess to being delighted to be back in the ether of that earlier... | | |
| 2:41pm | [Housekeeping] Iwa ni Hana evolves once again | | | | I know I have swung the emphasis of this blog before in the past: First it was arthouse Japanese animation, then it was arthouse animation with no emphasis on any country of origin in particular, and now this time it has swung to: Art-house Animation and Illustration: Commentary and Analysis (with... | | |
| 10:01pm | Kaiba Episode 7 - A Man Who Doesn’t Stay In Memories | | | | Vanilla, knowing his days are somewhat numbered now he is continually flouting the regulations of the police force, takes “Chroniko” to the planet Nene, and shows her to the ghostly submerged moon of Rivera where memories are kept alive only through the use of a computer. Kaiba sneaks... | | |
| 8:58pm | Kaiba - 09 | | | | What can I say? This episode was just incredible, no question possible. Spoilers obviously follow. As it turns out, the memory-guy plays a vital role in the entire story. He never was aligned to Popo, but made it believe like he was. Popo probably ordered him to use the plant Kaiba on Neiro, in order... | | |
| 5:44pm | What’s in an OP? | | | | I’m using Otou-san’s comment as a springboard for this post.[1] I seem to be at difference with the rest of the aniblogsphere when it comes to the OP. It seems as if, while most value the visual aspects of the OP, I really don’t care for them at all. Rarely do I appreciate them... | | |
| 7:28am | Seira - Never (Kaiba op) |  | | | I don’t know how I feel on this song. But I’m sure it’ll grow on me. It’s an anime opening in english but no engrish*. Hmm well here is the full of the opening song (Never by Seira). I prefer the ED and luckily it comes a day before I go to B.C. Will someone up it off torrents... | | |
| 9:50pm | Kaiba Episode 6 - A Muscular Woman | | | | We visit the planet Lolo, where Vanilla plans to take Chroniko to a newly opened theme park which not only features theme park rides but allows its visitors to use the clusters of memory eggs around the planet to call up the spirits of those long dead. However, Kaiba himself is distracted by the appearance... | | |
| 6:11pm | The Facination with Objective Ranking | | | | Objective ranking is like putting a score at the end of your review. The short of it is that it is fun and can be logistically useful, but it is often woefully inadequate as a form of expression. It has some material advantages but it also runs the risk of minimizing what makes one game attractive–in... | | |
| 3:52pm | Crystal Blaze - 11 | | | | Talk about an excellent first half of a finale! 12-episode series shouldn’t have “calm before the storm”-episodes. It wastes a precious episode that could have been used so much better, and all these episodes to fill time until the next episode, when the big climax is going to happen.... | | |
| 5:23am | Kaiba #6 | | | | I don't think I'd be able to come up with something to say about each and every episode of a TV series if it didn't feature the unflagging richness and relentless stylistic unpredictability of Masaaki Yuasa's TV shows. Each episode is filled with an abundance of things that make it stand out as a unique... | | |

| 4:02am | Kaiba 6-7: Boys and Girls |  | | | At some point, this show about exchangeable bodies was going to have to talk about gender and all that it entails. So we have these episodes. It’s funny that we’ve been watching Kaiba for so long in Chroniko’s body, I almost forgot at times that we saw him first as male. When Vanilla... | | |

| 10:00pm | Kaiba Episode 5 - Adipa, The Utopian Planet | | | | Vanilla and Chroniko-Kaiba make another stop, this time on the planet Adipa where food is free and designer bodies are available on a whim - including, it seems, multiple copies of the Neiro body, an issue which I’d have liked to linger on for a while (but more on that later) Kaiba ducks away... | | |
