| 8:48am | In Lieu of the Fall Preview #1: Kuroshitsuji | | | | WPvideo 1.10 It’s almost time for the fall animes, and I’ve completely lost the will to finish our Fall Preview orz. So screw it, I’m just going to pimp the shows I want, hurrah! I’m also dragging my fellow chefs with this, because they have more insightful things to say than... | | |

The Kaze no Stigma anime storyline is adapted from the novels by Takahiro Yamato.... | | |
| 7:06pm | FUNimation’s Newest Stigma | | | | By which I of course mean Kaze no Stigma, the Gonzo-animated adaptation of Takahiro Yamato and Hanamaru Nanto’s light novel series (currently being adapted into a manga by Yamato and artist Neko Miyakai).

| 8:27am | T.H.A.T two-year evaluation form - Yay for second year anniversary! |  | | | I demand my birthday cake now~ Two what? Obviously, it is now two years since the establishment of T.H.A.T. Two years ago, four random friends on the Internet decided to set up an anime blog. None of us probably expected this tiny little anime blog to go anywhere, since the Internet is notorious for... | | |
| 11:05am | Had to Comment on the Digital File Argument | | | | Trivia: Greg Ayres voiced Chrono in the ADV dub. I suppose I should have anticipated that, the day before a large convention, a firestorm that would spawn from Scott’s post on the divisive issue of fansubs with relation to Greg Ayres’ Anime Next panel but I was still a bit surprised by the... | | |
| 4:00am | Anime Dads |  | | | Ah, it’s Father’s Day over here, so here are some good and not so good anime dads. I tried to highlight fathers in recent series, because we can’t keep milking Evangelion for inspiration. It’s surprising how few have much of a role in anime series. Most of the time they are... | | |
| 1:12pm | NICE BOOK - An Introduction | | | | Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. Full Metal Panic. Shakugan no Shana. Kino no Tabi. Toshokan Sensou. What do these anime have in common? 1- They’re awesome 2- They’re popular 3- They’re anime adaptations of light novels. Ah yes, the wonderful medium of Japanese Light Novels. You may have... | | |
| 10:53pm | The Missing Library War Files #1 | | | | The uber fast monster speed of the anime somewhat forced me to go and Deep Fry Toshokan Sensou like I did with Kaze no Stigma. The Toshokan Sensou anime might be reallly impressive at this point, but it’s even better if you know the missing antics and tidbits in between. So yeah, hopefully I’ll... | | |
| 9:00am | The Bunny-Bushido On RAW Anime Watching/Blogging | | | | While this topic has been argued to no end, a recent issue just sparked me to post my thoughts on this. First off, let me ask you this, will you watch an anime raw, and even go to the extent of blogging it, if you didn’t understand much of what’s being said in the episode(s)? This is not quite a... | | |
| 3:40am | A Merry Scrumptious Birthday - This Baby is One Year Old! | | | | Yes, dear readers, it’s been a year since the [official] birth of Scrumptious, which is coincidentally, a few days away from the blog birthday of my cute little otouto Totali and the nazi dictator Owen. So yeah, that means we share the same blog signs too. And just to share with you guys the lengthy... | | |
| 3:26am | A Saiunkoku Burnout Monogatari | | | | Saiunkoku season 2 has come to a close, yet I’m still stuck in the time warp of yesteryears~ I haven’t even got past the halfway mark of watching and blogging it. If you hadn’t figured out by now, I suffered from a Saiunkoku burnout months ago, primarily due to my so-called Saiunkoku... | | |
| 5:18pm | 白銀のソレイユ - Successor of Wyrd | | | | I can’t believe this game sucked away 18 hours of my time in just two days! Anyways A young Valkyrie’s sleep brings her dreams of the past and memories not of her own, and a young man’s inability to protect those around him draws him closer to his own death. She seeks a purpose to... | | |
| 10:46pm | Wallpaper Week Day 4 | | | | I think I haven’t said anything about Kaze no Stigma yet. Well, it definitely had it’s flaws and as far as I heard the anime version differs in many points from the original light novels. It seems like the tone of the novels is much darker than the one of the anime with Kazuma killing | | |
