| 12:58am | Project: Occult Gakuen (part 2) | | | | Not too much of an update this time. Heck, I’m a little surprised that there’s an update at all! My “little” mecha anime ops project is harder than I thought and Bioshock Infinite just came out so don’t be shocked if the project stalls for a while! Currently, the parts... | | |

| 3:25pm | Keep On Moving – Progression and Development in Episode 29 of Eureka Seven | | | | Note: This article is also available at Ideas Without End HEREWith the death of Ray Beams in episode 28, presented unglamorously and graphically, the second arc of Eureka Seven is over. The allusions to Mobile Suit Gundam that have become increasingly apparent in this section come to a head would appear... | | |
| 5:30pm | 1979: Everything New is Old Again | | | | If anyone has read the Reverse Thieves blog they will know that I even more than Narutaki love to wax poetic. Therefore we decided that I might as well put that too good use in a supplemental post about the anime of 1979 as our first draft was getting sort of monstrous. I was going on a bit too much... | | |
| 5:44pm | My Article on the Anime of 1977 at “The Golden Ani-Versary of Anime” | | | | The “Golden Ani-Versary of Anime” is a collaborative effort among bloggers, fans, and experts of anime to celebrate the 30th anniversary of anime on television.

| 11:12am | Low Tech Japan (And Japanese Police) | | | | While quaint shopping arcades are certainly nice, the flip-side of life in Japan is that things can be rather backwards technologically, despite the image some may have of Japan as an advanced nation of gleaming glass and steel. My wife discovered this when she volunteered as a parental representative... | | |

| 11:05pm | Battle of Wits – Episode 27 of Eureka Seven (B-Part) | | | | Ray and Charles’ battle with Holland is a fight of equals, quite unlike Amuro fighting Ramba Ral.Note: This article is also available at Ideas Without End HERE The “A-Part” of episode 27 of Eureka Seven was dense with worldbuilding, using the moments of peace immediately prior to Ray and... | | |
| 7:06pm | The “true” otaku |  | | | A recent Ask John article on AnimeNation brought up a very interesting idea of what some people believe defines a so-called “true” otaku. The thought is that such a person is one who revels in great anime series that have narrative depth, notably good writing, and are all in all good shows... | | |
| 5:30pm | Ongoing Investigations: Case #197 | | | | This might be a slightly controversial analogy but I would say that The Unlimited – Hyoubu Kyousuke is to Zettai Karen Children as Legends of the Dark King is to Fist of the North Star. They are both prequels that show how an overpowered villain came to be the head of his own army before he... | | |

| 12:12pm | Secret Santa: Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team | | | | Good job Mr. Recommend-er! You just had me interested with the UC timeline of Gundam. I’d say I would actually want to explore more, like the recent Unicorn series, than write this post but I mustn’t! – at least for now. It was cruel of you to just throw me in the middle of the timeline... | | |
