| 5:23am | Umineko Episode 2, Pt. IV | | | | The kids are in the guesthouse with Nanjo, eating their cake. Apparently it sucks because Gohda isn’t there to boast about it. The kids harass Nanjo about Kinzo having a “secret lover” in the past name Beatrice, and Nanjo confirms it, but denies the secret child theory. The kids then... | | |

| 10:40am | Con Season 2009 | | | | Despite my best efforts, con season gets the best of me yet again. What’s special this year is that I’ll be more broke than ever, gone to more places than ever, and probably have the least amount of time blogging than ever. It is fun and frustrating, but hopefully it will also add to some... | | |
| 5:32am | Umineko Episode 2, Pt. III | | | | Genji meets up with Beatrice (who is finally wearing her more casual outfit) in the reception hall, and Beatrice wants to see Kinzo. As they are walking to his study, Kyrie sees them, and is kind of shocked to actually see the “Golden Witch” in person. Trying to give her a friendly greeting,... | | |

Natsuhi... | | |
| 6:42am | Umineko Episode 2, Pt. I | | | | I’m splitting this up into a few parts, because otherwise it would be a huge GREAT WALL OF TEXT. (it still is, but whatever). The chapter starts out with Shannon and George on a date at an aquarium. They are acting awkward and silly, and while on a walk at the beach Shannon hints to George that... | | |

| 1:49pm | T.H.A.T. Summer 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Are you ready for your swine flu vaccination? Welcome to the 2009 Summer Anime Preview. I hope everyone is enjoying the time off, because I have none -_- (damn Bar review). Regardless, enjoy our seasonal preview, the format is the same as last time. Much of this info is pulled from Fansub Wiki,... | | |
| 3:48pm | Naruto 449-450 | | | | Why am I naked? Ugh, I have the worst headache. As the 7th Pain, Nagato has reset powers. I guess someone didn’t bother counting the number of rings correctly. All Gedo Rinne Tensei no jutsu does is summon the King of Hell again to revive everyone that recently died. Damn this technique... | | |
| 3:46am | Not dwelling in the land of Nod | | | | The “sweet smell of vindication” indeed; I didn’t pick up Eden of the East either. I don’t always like what Evirus positively enjoys but I usually almost always react badly to things that stick up his craw. And thus: It’s also somewhat shallow to say, but I find the character... | | |
| 6:44am | Is It Possible to Go Home Again? Or, My Thoughts on the New Haruhi Episode. | | | | A week ago, everyone and their brother was talking about Haruhi and there was good reason do so – the reairing of the first season of Haruhi included a completely new episode. This momentous occasion definitely deserved all the attention it received and I wanted to chip in but, at the time, it all... | | |
| 9:15pm | Summer 2009 |  | | | Oops, I did it again Summer’s almost here, and so it’s time for the preview post. I decided to go all out again, and even tried to make the preview a little more readable. As usual, this post ignores any series that look like they were made before 1985, series that look like they were... | | |
| 7:12pm | More light novels, less 4-komas/KEY for KyoAni | | | | At least that’s the knee-jerk conclusion I came to after completing a thoroughly immersing Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody (Haruhi 2). Not my full sentiments but they underscore some KEY reasons (pun intended) why the last KyoAni production I enjoyed was Kanon (back in 2006). KyoAni has helmed these productions... | | |
