| 10:27pm | True Tears 04, breaking my siscon meter | | | | Maybe it’s just me being bias by wishful thinking, but my siscon meter exploded during this scene, it pieces together fairly well too, which I’ll get to later. True Tears in general continues to impress me, in my mind it’s running neck and neck with Kimikiss as the best romance this... | | |
| 6:32am | Track Two: In Syndication | | | | Aside from Danbooru and other image boards, Owen is probably my next best source of imagesCrunched for time on posting today, and these Track Twos have been burning a hole in my hard drive (luckily, only figuratively) ever since Ikimashou went down, so I'll post up a couple of them here.For those unfamiliar... | | |
| 6:14am | The Perils of Human Interrelatedness | | | | Go give the springboard of this post a read if you had not yet the chance. I think I may just be parroting what Owen said there, but I think the subject deserves a very good scrub on its own. It’s hard to find a good beginning to tackle this multi-threaded concept, so I’ll start with the... | | |

| 6:07am | True Tears 3 (Mike) - Sowing the Seeds of Love |  | | | Don’t eat the red snow, Shinichiro Hi everyone, the blogger that my partner calls “the professional” is back from an enforced academic break, and I’m here to fulfill my duty to talk about romance shows that don’t sucklike this fine episode, which sets up some ordinary and yet... | | |
| 12:10am | Clannad - 15 (Kyou the Cockblocker) |  | | | So here I am enjoying my scene of Nagisa and Tomoya. Where Nagisa is crying because she feels guilty for not letting the other club get the teacher sponsor, and wants to quit her club for them. Where Tomoya hugs her from behind and then asks her to go out with him..BUT NO. AND SO FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS... | | |
| 5:02pm | KimiKiss Pure Rouge - 15 |  | | | Kouichi takes Hoshino to the beach for a date so she can have some happy memories before transferring. Impressions:This episode was pretty good. Like all the other episodes though, it didn’t get really interesting until the very end when the two of them kissed, but that was pretty big. Of course,... | | |
| 10:39pm | Loli Pop Culture: The great divide | | | | Twice now I've been called on my labeling of anime characters as lolis, when I thought I was near-certain that they were.And aside from launching me off on awkwardly and one might say disturbingly statistical arguments - if you look at the Primula one - it set me off to thinking?What in the heck really... | | |
| 9:51pm | Owen and True Tears |  | | | Owen lobbies True Tears: The resulting combination is amazing. Since I know a lot of you have trouble reading between the lines, I need to add here that this is easily one of the best anime of the season, if not year. It’s hard to describe how well the soundtrack complements true tears, and even... | | |
| 9:34pm | Late Winter 2008 Previews: Souls a-rocking, and Bona fide blubbering |  | | | A short update for those of you who were wondering where my blog went, and why Sasa’s feed was flooding AnimeNano earlier: Ikimashou.net is currently in the hands of a squatter, no thanks to the registrar screwing Randall over by conveniently “forgetting” to e-mail him about the domain... | | |
