| 8:25am | The Fall Call: Fall 2008 Anime Preview | | | | I know, I know, I’m late– things have gotten very busy with my project. But here it is: your Fall 2008 anime preview! A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
| 7:31am | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 11 | | | | Short Synopsis: Nyanko and Natsume get into a fight. Highlights: The lightest episode so far, but unfortunately also the most disappointing one. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 Ah, I don’t know. This episode was supposed to be hilarious, but it just felt off somehow. Basically, there is no case,... | | |

Tastes differ, but the shows I myself am most looking forward to are:the mysterious moe romances ef - a tale of melodies and Clannad - After Story the absurd comedy Hyakko (with Orikasa Fumiko and Hirano... | | |
| 8:39pm | Beginning of Spring Season '08 | | | | Several promising series and a lot of new seasons from older ones. At last, after many barren seasons this one looks really solid! First of all the second part of ef - a tale of melodies finally airs; additionally, the delayed second season of Penguin Musume Heart has already started. Also, there are... | | |

| 2:54am | Kekkaishi Vol 13 by Yellow Tanabe Manga Review | | | | Title: Kekkaishi Vol 13Author: Yellow TanabePublisher: VizISBN: 9781421516896 Contain Spoilers I don’t know what it is about Kekkaishi that I find so appealing, but it is fast becoming one of my favorite manga titles. Every volume adds more depth to the characters. ... | | |
| 7:52pm | Spring Week 4 Progress Chart: 20 Faces Great. | | | | On Sundays, we’ll chart the progress of each of the anime series I’m currently following. By progress, I obviously mean how shit or good it is at the moment.Incredibly, this week had awesome episodes for many many shows, propelling them up in the ratings department. Amatsuki - But not Amatsuki.... | | |
| 11:00pm | Mining for Diamonds in the May 08 Previews | | | | I am a little underwhelmed by this month’s Previews. Sure, there are plenty of on-going series that I enjoy, like Boys Over Flowers, Kekkaishi, and The Palette of 12 Secret Colors, but there’s not a lot of new stuff to grab my interest. That’s probably for the best, though, since... | | |
| 2:31pm | Soul Eater - 05 | | | | Now this is more like it! This episode showed none of the weaknesses I spotted in the last episode, and delivered both an entertaining fight and good comedy. This is exactly what I look for in a shounen-series, because series of this type shouldn’t take their story too seriously. Soul Eater... | | |
| 11:16pm | Kekkaishi Volume 01 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | About the MangakaNot a lot on this one either. Though for some reason her name is Tanabe Yellow on the Viz releases of Kekkaishi, though apparently her real name is Tanabe Iero. Her debut work was a short story called Lost Princess, she then went on to create Kekkaishi, which lead to her winning the... | | |
| 3:18pm | March Summary | | | | And with this, the season is nearly over. There are still a few series left to finish, but they should close off in a few days from now. Overall, I must say that it’s been an interesting half year, and nothing like the spring-season that preceded it. It feels like there were less ground-breaking... | | |
| 3:37pm | Ghost Hound - 21 | | | | This episode was a rather strange one for a Ghost Hound-episode. It’s probably one of the quietest ones of the entire series, which is very strange with just one episode to go, and it ended with plans to dress Tarou as a girl. I’m seriously wondering what the creators have in store for... | | |
| 8:31pm | Kekkaishi Review - 84/100 | | | | Ah, shounen-fighting series. How many of them have fallen into the pit of mediocrity? Probably too many to count. Still, once in a while a series appears in the genre that actually delivers. The cream of the crop is for me the Law of Ueki, and even though Kekkaishi couldn’t come to that same... | | |
| 1:37pm | February Summary | | | | I must say that this has been the best winter-season we’ve had in years. usually, they just features one or two great series, but this season juast has a whole bunch of worthwhile watches, albeit you do have to look a bit harder than usual. #28 (28) - Dragonaut The Resonance - (6,6/10) - This... | | |
