| 5:55pm | The Koihime Art of War Page 4 - Ma Chao wants a 2nd episode |  | | | Good thing about bishoujos in an ecchi show: They can always have a loli past. As Ma Chao realizes that she will be written off the script for a while, before they bring her back to the overall picture of sex, debauchery and utter lies of Koihime, she decided that it is time for another Ma Chao-centric... | | |
| 11:26pm | Alice on Deadlines Volume 03 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | Many thanks to Yen Press for providing me with a review copy. About the Mangaka Until I picked up this series I’d never heard of Ihara Shiro, and sadly, other than his (or her) name, I can’t find anything else out. Neither ANN nor Wikipedia have anything beyond the name. So, no info this time around,... | | |
| 4:44am | Kanokon 3 review, Bento and Oil. | | | | This episode begins with Tayura cooking dinner for Chizuru when someone knocks at their door and when he opens it he sees Nozomu standing there. Later at school Nozomu seems to be putting more refined moves on Kouta, and the other girls in class think her tactics are straight out of a... | | |
| 4:43pm | Kanokon DVD special 2 - Nozomu’s turn |  | | | Goodness how I’m behind on Strike Witches and Tsukaima III. I can’t even get comfortable enough this month even to watch the episodes, much less blog them. :( But they will be tended to soon; busy summer job is busy. Anyway–here’s some quick entertainment from the latest Eizou... | | |
| 2:29pm | Anime World Gets Chaos, Head. Wait, That’s ‘Chaos;Head’ | | | | Moon Phase reports that the 5bp/Nitroplus visual novel Chaos;Head is being made into an anime; they got the news from the official blog of Comic ALIVE (in which the Zero no Tsukaima and Kanokon manga run). The game’s tale revolves around Takumi Nishijou, a high school student who stumbles upon... | | |
| 12:31am | Can I Send Acheron Hades After ANN Now? Please? | | | | Did you just let Carl Kimlinger insult Jane Austen in his VIctorian Romance Emma review? Did you really? I mean, seriously. I’m glad you liked it, it’s a wonderful series. But, really. JANE. AUSTEN. Did you also put “Jane Austen” and “Harlequin-esque bodice rippers”... | | |
| 12:56pm | Initial Impressions on Strike Witches: Well, The World Hasn’t Ended Yet |  | | | By TheBigN(o respect probably after this post) I find Strike Witches to be some cheesy endearing fluff that I don’t mind paying money to watch, since I haven’t fully realized the debt that I’m going to be in once this whole med school/residency/fellowship thing is done with. And granted,... | | |
| 12:46am | hulu figures out how to make money on streaming video: porn |  | | | At first, I thought that Hulu was cool because I could watch full-length TV shows on my computer with little delay after they aired. Then, a few days at work, I was monitoring what movies were going up on Hulu for compliance purposes. One such movie that I had been specifically asked to investigate... | | |
| 3:54pm | Koihime: I’m sorry, I just cannot sit through it. | | | | Every once in a while, you will come across a show that doesn’t deserve to be bashed horribly (I’m looking at you, Code Geachu Geass), and yet, it’s bad enough to actually pass I’m sure there’ll be a rabid pack of fantards who’ll chew my ass out for bashing their... | | |
| 12:48pm | Hook, Line and Sinker | | | | Flyin in ur otakusphere shooting at ur postz. I’ll take the bait:[L]iterature (as a medium in general) is more cogitative than other media and that its primary purpose is to instruct before it entertains (at least it is for the books I read). [. . .] I’d argue that this is proven by the fact... | | |
| 10:00pm | Nogizaka Haruka’s Secret 01 |  | | | Yes, a pretty entertaining first episode. This is one of the shows I’ve been more interested in this season, mainly because Noto-sama is playing the lead heroine role, and god knows how long it’s been since she has had one (okay, Kanokon does count as one, but she was doing a male character)... | | |
| 5:32am | Adrian’s away for work |  | | | Today I’m flying off to Scotland to slave away at my summer job. I will be back late August. JP will take over Code Geass blogging, as for the rest: Kanokon is done, with Allison and Lilia I think I will do one big update posts for all the episodes I didn’t post. For Kara no Kyoukai and... | | |

| 8:38pm | Strike Witches - 01: The Horror and Pain of the Too Much Pants | | | | It’s not fair that the fan service shows get the nice artwork! Way back, I couldn’t resist watching the first episode of Kanokon because the pictures were extremely pretty, or at least, better than what most shows were offering at that time. Watching it was like a nightmare, except... | | |
| 10:47am | Zero no Tsukaima - Princess no Rondo 1: Seal of the Familiar |  | | | Tanabata was shit, but I did pay my respects, hanged my “wishes” (which would never be fulfilled since wishing for a real, full-sized Gundam ain’t possible), then went to sleep for a whole 16 hours. Add in the ambiance of the rain, and it’s happy hibernating. No use asking for... | | |
