| 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... | | |
| 3:29pm | Bakemonogatari 10 |  | | | I’m sorry. I know this was a relatively serious episode but I couldn’t resist the sexual innuendos. Oh god, maybe I’m starting to turn in to Shin. God help us all. Anyways, this is possibly the most serious arc of the show so far, since a poor helpless girl almost got cursed to... | | |
| 11:30pm | 2channel's Favorite Seiyuus -- posting rates in seiyuu threads | | | | The 2channel reader software I'm using now (Chaika, a Firefox add-on) shows the current posting rate for each thread on the big Japanese discussion board. So we can easily see which seiyuus 2channelers most like to talk about right now. (mouseover photos for captions)Mizuki Nana, Horie Yui, and Ochiai... | | |

| 8:40pm | A Dance Opening is More Than Just a Dance: Haruhi 1 vs Haruhi 2 | | | | Yamamoto “Yamakan” Yutaka tends to divide the anime community with the anime he’s worked on, especially with his reluctant reputation as the most well-known creator of “dance segments” for anime openings and endings. Think Haruhi, Lucky Star, Kannagi, and you’ll... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Groups A & B, Day 3″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: Yuuki and Isumi. Saki and HnG continue to be as dominant as it were in the beginning of the tournament. Congrats to Yuuki for making it this far. Sad we have to let go of Kana after such a shocking upset in Round 1. Still, HnG fans must be very pleased with the performance of their nominees... | | |
| 11:20pm | The anime art gallery that is my room |  | | | For the past ten years or so, a little quirk of mine has been to cover every inch of my room with anime pictures and products. On a previous post, I shared photos of how my room looked last year. Since then, I’ve hung up new pictures, rearranged old pictures, and displayed new goodies. So I decided... | | |

| 11:00am | Then: Making an Otaku Pilgrimage | | | | Since we were nearby, we stopped by Lake Kizaki, the area famous as the location of the Please Teacher and Please Twins anime series. Virtually every scene was based on a specific location in the town, or at various sites nearby, which had the effect of adding a layer of realism to the anime usually... | | |
| 10:19pm | Back from Japan (here’s all the anime goodies I bought!) | | | | Me in front of a big K-ON! poster ad in Akihabara I got back from my 3-week stay in Japan a couple of days ago. To say the least, I had an awesome time but it’ll take me a while to gather all the photos and write complete coverage of my trip. So for now, I decided to simply share photos and info... | | |
| 9:38am | Rewatching Read or Die | | | | “Zaaaa Paaaay-paaaaah!!” Man, even years later hearing that ridiculous Engrish pronunciation of Yomiko Readman’s codename still makes me laugh out loud. I really should go back and rewatch my favorite classics more often. It helps recapture some of that nostalgic enjoyment that got... | | |
