| 12:56pm | Aoi Hana - 05 | | | | Oh, I so love how this series managed to bring its characters to life. The non-verbal communication between the characters says much more than what the dialogue can even hope for and the creators manage to do this with a lot of subtlety. It really gives all of the characters complex stories, rather... | | |
| 7:00pm | Yuri Manga: Butterfly Kiss Blade, Volume 1 | | | | In the beginning, there were the Inklings. From the Inklings were born Lord of the Rings and the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. These misbegot such things as the Sword of Shannara and the Belgeriad and from these were, ultimately, begot Harry Potter. From Harry Potter came Negima! and now, here we... | | |

Note that some products may be "not safe for work" but that all links will allow you to redirect yourself either to the J-List or JBOX.com websites. To see... | | |
| 8:48am | Aoi Hana - 02 | | | | You know, I said in my Umineko post that I’d be blogging Bakemonogatari but its second episode was so underwhelming that I’ve nearly lost interest I mean, the awesome OP was gone and instead we have a random J-Pop song about staplers, the entire first half of that episode was filled with... | | |
| 4:55pm | Spring 2009 Season Conclusion | | | | Found one of these in my mail box this morning. Wats goin on? I suppose it’s about time to write up a post about whatever survived on my watchlist to the bitter end. Let me start off with Chrome Shelled Regios. In the end it was a rather plain experience and the ending felt like cheating, even... | | |
| 2:19am | Bluemist on Hatsukoi |  | | | We knew that with Hatsukoi Limited J.C.Staff basically produced a better Kimikiss (which itself received all sorts of accolades back in the day), but there’s more: [J.C.Staff] have modified an otherwise normal manga into a highly coherent piece, mixing up multiple storylines to make it less confusing,... | | |
| 3:49am | And so it’s time for the 2009 summer anime… | | | | And as usual, doesn’t look like there’s a lot of promising shows.I’m checking out only the following shows:Aoi Hana – Hmm, shoujo-ai? But it’s directed by Kenichi Kasai, and I enjoyed even KimiKiss. So will watch.Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 – Bones. Gave us Bounen no... | | |
| 3:11am | So a butler, a seleção, and a data entity walk into a blog post | | | | And the owner of of the blog says, “What the hell kind of introductory paragraph am I supposed to make from this?” Sadly enough, I haven’t been popular enough to have any rumors of my blogging death to greatly exaggerate (in the Mark Twain fashion) – perhaps this is due to the... | | |
| 11:18pm | Summer '09 Previews | | | | With several shows that I enjoy carrying on from spring; add 14 new ones, plus Haruhi new episodes, Zetsubou Sensei 3rd and Ookami 2nd season; this summer looks very promising! The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this... | | |
| 7:09am | Let’s Play “Name That Harem Anime” | | | | In fact, let’s play Name Every Harem Anime, Ever. For a new project I’m working on that I may or may not see to completion. Don’t worry about naming stuff I have or haven’t seen, it’s all the same. Anime that contain love triangles, but not full-blown harems (i.e. True... | | |
| 10:58pm | Spring 2009 Mid-Season Check | | | | Oh yeah, a post at last! So the another season has reached its mid point and it’s time for me to post a bit of impressions so far. As usual, let me throw in the summary spreadsheets before commencing with the TL;DR which is once again plenty. Now let us proceed in the old fashioned way. Friend... | | |
| 9:05pm | Finalizing Fanime Fplans F2009 | | | | Hey everyone. Just a list of all the events I tentatively plan on at least checking out; figured it would make useful planning for when I should schedule the aniblogger meetup. Right now the best choice is perhaps a late lunch on Sunday, after the Visual Novels panel, which ends at 2 PM, at which point... | | |
| 10:47pm | Yurumates -- Seiyuu Triumph | | | | Slipping in under the radar comes the hilarious one-episode OVA Yurumates ゆるめいつ, based on a 4-koma comic strip by saxyun.The simple Flash+2D animation is funny enough, but the script and the seiyuus really make this a great little show. Hidamari Sketch with a drier wit.Main character Yurume... | | |
| 11:17pm | Merchandising in the Spring | | | | I wrote in a post a while ago about OP/EDs, but I didn’t really focus on the music to exclusion of everything else (and why would you?). Thinking about it though, it might be enlightening to point out the singles that I decided to buy (in physical formatI think I’ll wait for Amazon or iTunes... | | |
