| 7:54am | That Which Fuels Our Happiness | | | | I have officially fallen in love with Studio 4°C. Their work is literally mind blowing. Unfortunately, as this post is based on one of the Genius Party shorts, I can say right now that I doubt I will ever get around to blogging all of them. However, “Happy Machine” caught my attention... | | |
| 7:00am | Top Picks – Summer 2008 Anime, Part 1 | | | | Just like the spring season, now that the midpoint has been reached for this season – it’s time to recognize the outstanding shows of the season. I’ve kept the awards pretty much the same as before, trimming a few like best overall music since nothing new of this season really stood out for me... | | |
| 8:28am | Just a small note | | | | Now that the discussions about the autumn anime season have started, I might as well note that for those who are wondering: I’m not planning to make a preview of the upcoming season. It just feels like everyone and his dog is already doing one, so I don’t see what my attempts can add, since... | | |
| 8:56pm | Haibane Renmei Series Review | | | | Halos cause static electricityI don’t know what finally possessed me to watch this show, it’s been laying around my house for over a year now, but once I did, I couldn’t stop until I watched the whole thing in a day. Which, I believe is a first for me. Final Series Score: 12/12 Perfect Rewatchablity:... | | |

| 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... | | |
