| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 8:55pm | Koge-Donbo’s Harry Potter fan art |  | | | *Click the image for a larger version* Famous manga artist Koge-Donbo is best known for her “cute” character designs, especially in her popular series Di Gi Charat, Kamichama Karin, Pita Ten, and others. It’s also well known that she’s a Harry Potter fan. About nine years ago... | | |
| 1:27pm | Yoki Koto Kiku - Manga |  | | | Another manga released by the now shut-down Broccoli Books. I found this in a bookshop a little while back and I had to pick it up! Whilst there are some character design similarities to other works of Koge-Donbo, the setting is definately unique, taking a much darker tone to any book he has released... | | |
| 10:05am | One Outs = Total Sports Anime Ripoff | | | | Decided to watch One Outs episode 1 last weekend since it’s been subbed, and my initial impression could be summed up as: Toa is Hiruma’s long lost twin, not to mention they exude the same aura too. I’m sure TheBigN can attest to this. So you can say that we’ve got some (Hiru)MANservice... | | |
| 8:14pm | Seiyuu Sawashiro Miyuki -- One of a Kind | | | | SAWASHIRO Miyuki 沢城みゆき is a great seiyuu and a strange bird. She spends her time reading, likes classical music, dresses older than her 23 years, and speaks gently, but with great confidence in her own opinions.She started in anime at 14 (born in Tokyo 1985.06.02), and has been working ever... | | |

| 12:53pm | Kon Kon Kokon - Volume 1 |  | | | For the first of my reviews in my “revived” blog, I have decided that I will review some of the stuff that I bought while I was in a bookshop I recently found. Alas, I wasn’t expecting to buy anything but when I found the manga section they had (Rather rare to find large amounts of... | | |
| 5:43pm | A Pavane for a Crying Girl |  | | | I bet that doesn’t sound as weird when you say “Nakishoujo no tame Pavannu” Anyway apparently it’s Koge Donbo’s new work. I saw it on her blog entry this afternoon. I’ve yet to obtain the last volume of Kamichama Karin but I have to admit something sad: I’m... | | |
| 6:46pm | 2 Years of Fangirl Rage. |  | | | And so on Monday June 23rd, Ex-Fansubber Hitorigoto hits its 2 year anniversary. I’m posting today though because there’s nothing else going on anime wise. I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle this post but I figured everyone loves stats and all that jazz so I may as well roll... | | |
| 2:41am | The Positives & Negatives of Open Comments. |  | | | It’s been a while since I did a real rant & rave post so here I go for old time’s sake. I was just thinking what my fellow comrad does on his blog and flames everyone while shutting comments off so no one can flame him back. While I really don’t care to flame people or bloggers,... | | |
| 12:06pm | Macross Frontier - 02 | | | | Ah, why not? I’m going to blog this series. Thanks to L.A. for pointing out that I missed this series. This series is basically THE powerhouse in animation-budget for this season, plus Yoko Kanno’s work is very impressive as well. The second episode was also much better than the rather... | | |

| 5:53am | Sakura08: Swagpost Day Two, Wrap-Up, & Random Pics | | | | So it turns out that tomorrow’s Bandai Visual USA panel has been cancelled, which means I have no panels to cover, which means I’ll probably spend most of the day hanging around in the dealer’s room, acting as a booth babe for KumoriCon. In the meantime, here are the primary highlights... | | |
