| 7:02pm | Kannagi Girls in Swimsuits | | | | Nagi, Tsugumi and Zange from Crazy Shrine Maidens all dressed down in swimsuits for your viewing pleasure. I’d have to say that my favorite is Tsugumi’s cute bikini style. ^.^ | | |
| 7:01pm | Spice and Wolf impressions - A show about medieval economics | | | | I seem to be on a 13 episode series only kind of mood, and I would rather stay away from longer shows for the time being. I’m currently watching Spice and Wolf, which I really don’t know anything about but it’s 13 episodes so I picked it up. The plot is basically just some merchant... | | |
| 11:44pm | Friday Fanservice - Kannagi Maids | | | | I finished watching Kannagi, even though I didn’t find it all that great. Probably because I liked the character designs, and I was curious if it would suddenly redeem itself. But it didn’t. Anyhoo, here is some Nagi & Tsugumi pantsu thighhigh maid action to get your nose bleeding.... | | |

| 8:52am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 3: Genre Awards | | | | Soldiering on, this next set of awards cover some of the many different types of anime out there. I enjoy many of these types of anime and this sometimes leads to odd pairings; for example, I remember watching Kaiba and Maid Guy back-to-back on several occasions. There are a few categories you won’t... | | |
| 11:20pm | Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo - Episode 3 | | | | We're now three episodes into Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo, and I still can't quite shake the feeling that this series is throwing as much against the wall as possible simply to see what sticks.Anyhow, this episode begins where the last left off, with Akiha still trying to steal the source of Leopard's power,... | | |
| 10:32pm | Takagaki Ayahi Masterful in Chrome-Shelled Regios | | | | I knew Ayahime (Takagaki Ayahi 高垣彩陽) was good, but her masterful performance as Niina in eps 2-3 of Chrome-Shelled Regios just blows me away.Triumph, pain, aggression, weakness, craftiness, strength, crying -- she sells them all, with a strong and mobile voice for which nothing seems a stretch.I... | | |
| 6:29am | Japanese Marketing Blurbs |  | | | A snap from a newspaper listing products and how much you can get for each item if you sell them. They also have a bit of marketing blurb next to each item. Saki - "Anime version soon!" Hajime no Ippo - "New Anime Series!" Queens Blade - "Moe!" And for Kannagi it says "Not a virgin!" Looks like otaku... | | |

| 10:44pm | Winter anime 2008/9 | | | | I’ve been enjoying Toradora!, Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter, Eve no Jikan, and Kannagi. Sampled some others which I didn’t pursue. Kannagi is another boy-meets-magical-girl anime. That said, it’s a delightful series. The hero carves a figure of a girl out of an old tree-trunk which... | | |

| 3:27am | Autumn '08 Reviews | | | | Better late then never the autumn season restored my lost interest to anime. From the harrowing experience of Ga-Rei and ef to the insanity of Macademi and Kemeko to the vanilla-taste of Yozakura and Kannagi, oh I shouldn't forget Chäos;HEAd. Also several other shows continue into the winter, namely... | | |
