| 2:49pm | Shangri-La - 09 | | | | Now these really are the episodes that show why this series rocks. There’s just so much going on, it’s mostly building up, and yet it’s still intriguing and compelling, it cleverly uses things from past episodes, while also progressing forward with its plot. My biggest fear was for... | | |
| 2:53am | Shangri-la 6: datakake shoujo |  | | | The sky above Kuwait was the color of television tuned to a dead channel Hanners is in despair while PSGels likes what’s happening. I like it, too, less for the interpersonal drama and more for the political tangle, with Japan a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas Corporation, and Ishida Finance... | | |
| 3:50pm | Yen Plus Issue 06 January ‘09 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is my third catch up post on the Yen Plus Anthology. I’m not to keen on the One Fine Day manhwa cover, it looks nice true, but something is lacking from it. The Sumomomo cover is a bit better, but only cause it’s got my fave megami on it The Manhwa Side Starting off with the manhwa side... | | |
| 7:59am | Shangri-La - 06 | | | | Having a flawed character as Kuniko is always a bit of a double edged sword, since she often ca get on people’s nerves, but I find her to be surprisingly solid as a lead character. This episode was mostly meant to build up and shed more light into what kind of powers she has, as she seems to... | | |
| 8:23pm | Yen Plus Issue 05 December ‘08 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is the second of my catch up posts. The Sarasah cover for the manhwa side is a bit, meh. It looks like a nice picture, but it’s being suffocated by the title and the name plate. However I love the Higurashi cover, it just looks awesome and a little sexy. That cleaver though is enough to give... | | |
| 1:08pm | Shangri-La - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: Kuniko and Momoko head to Akihabara. Or what’s left of it. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) At first I thought that it would be best for me to simply follow the subs from this series, but after last week’s disaster with Tranquil Fansubs I’m just going to continue with... | | |
| 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... | | |

| 11:08pm | The Unsatisfactory Ending of Toradora | | | | I thought about adding this into my review for Toradora or adding it to my podcast review, but I thought this would be better written out in it’s own post, as it basically is an editorial. I’ll say it right front: I was a Ryuji/Minori shipper in Toradora until the very, bitter end of the... | | |
| 12:52pm | Announcing My Spring 2009 Season Watchlist | | | | Naoyuki approves this season. The winter 2009 season is grinding towards its end and as such I thought it would be a good time to start having a look at what the soon starting spring season has to offer. The series listed here are the ones I mainly have my eye on but as was the case last time, the list... | | |

| 11:52pm | A Speedy Manga Review II | | | | I have decided to do another “Speedy Manga Review” on some manga which I most probably wouldn’t get time to do a full review on.
