| 7:09am | Mike’s Fall 2008 Preview Post |  | | | Time to jump on the bandwagon a little late. As I said the last time I wrote a preview post, I will realistically only end up covering 2 shows max. Still, I want to list all the shows that actually look interesting to my tastes, though that doesn’t mean I will blog it. (Some have already been,... | | |
| 6:49pm | A romantic interpretation of Kaiba | | | | I was always going to like Kaiba. Even before it started airing, I had, somewhat dangerously, convinced myself that it would be good. After all, with someone like Masaaki Yuasa directing, I had to expect it would special and well, some five months later, here we are again, I just finished Kaiba this... | | |
| 11:14am | Nijuu Mensou no Musume - 19 | | | | Short Synopsis: That scientist isn’t willing to give up that easily, and prepares for a second attempt to zap Tokyo, while keeping Chiko and the others out of his way. Highlights: Excellent aftermath, apart from that climax perhaps. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Really, this series has a strange... | | |
| 1:43am | Kaiba #10 | | | | This episode was one of the most emotionally compelling and convincing in the series, focusing as it does squarely on the past of the protagonists that has been hinted at here and there throughout the series. Finally, everything is laid bare - although what makes Yuasa's directing so unique is fully... | | |
| 2:06pm | Himitsu ~The Revelation~ - 22 | | | | Short Synopsis: The members of Daiku have a day off when a rather urgent case pops up. Highlights: Just about everything in this episode! Overall Enjoyment Value: 9/10 What an awesome episode! Really, I can’t believe that in the end, this series is coming together wonderfully. Seriously,... | | |
| 10:56pm | Zero’s Familiar episode 9 | | | | The latest episode of Zero’s Familiar was, without a doubt, the best of the entire series. So much so, I have the desire to blog about a single episode of anime outside of my weekly review for the first time in 2 months. Rating: 12+/12 PerfectIf you haven’t been following the show closely, Tabitha... | | |
| 12:16am | Kaiba #9 | | | | Akitoshi Yokoyama had me glued to the screen through the white-hot intense plot developments of this episode, which he handled with his usual brilliance as storyboarder and director. With the exception of Michio Mihara's episode 4, the more expository and episodic episodes 2 through 7 were all co-written... | | |
| 6:39am | August Summary | | | | August has definitely been an interesting and at the same time strange month. I keep seeing everywhere that the past Summer Season has disappointed, but I just can’t agree with those statements. Sure, there’s no absolute masterpiece airing now that Kaiba ended, but there are actually lots... | | |
| 4:11pm | Kaiba Episode 12 (END) - Everyone in the Cloud | | | | Hmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmm. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey that counts. Supposedly, anyway. It’s not as if the destination in this case is particularly bad, it’s just a bit weird. Yup, I’m not totally satisfied with the way Kaiba ends.... | | |
| 9:35pm | Summer Anime 2008 | | | | A quick round-up of the spring and summer anime: I’m continuing to watch Itazura na Kiss and Kaiba, but dropped xxxHOLOC Kei as the plot wasn’t interesting. Nogizawa Haruka no Himitsu The hero wastes little time in extablishing a relationship with the school “princess” after... | | |
| 3:11pm | Nijuu Mensou no Musume - Disappointing | | | | 20 Faces’ Daughter started off well. It promised good ol’ stylish magician master thief action, with drama and character development, in a believably-realistic post-war setting. But by double-digit episodes, it had become some weird-ass sci-fi magic emo revenge lolicon show, where people... | | |
| 9:58am | Blade of the Immortal - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: Rin visits an old teacher of her to request assistance. Highlights: Bee-Train hasn’t forgotten how to make great action-scenes at all, despite this series’ limited budget. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Well, so it really seems that this series is going to air every two... | | |
| 6:10am | Fall 2008 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | Shikabane Hime: Aka - Gainax's latest It’s that time again - the new season of anime is upon us and it appears that it’s full of good anime. My preview covers those shows that I plan on checking out. I used the most excellent THAT Animeblog’s Fall Preview to figure out what I plan... | | |
| 9:32am | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 08 | | | | Short Synopsis: Senkawa and his friends from school are invited to Nakasugi’s summer house. Highlights: That second half Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Seriously, is it me, or is this series really getting better and better with every episode? The build-up in this episode was downright excellent,... | | |
