| 5:45am | Kimikiss~pure rouge: A Tripartite Case Study | | | | I think this sums up my mood at the moment. It seems rather unfair to treat Kimikiss as anything other than a complete 24-episode unit–the dizzying roller-coaster whirl nature of the series rarely makes any outcome inevitable. At the same time, it’s also hard not to deal with the series... | | |
| 7:59pm | Koshimizu Ami as Yugao in the Tale of Genji | | | | I'm enjoying the new Tale of Genji anime by Dezaki Osamu. With my love for the novel, it could have gone either way, but I'm appreciating the beauty of the look, and various new angles on the story.In episode 3, some of the voice-acting was great. Hirata Eriko did a stunning turn as Lady Aoi. And Tsuru... | | |
| 1:54pm | Winter 2009 First Impressions | | | | New season, new beginning! Hay, dis be nova. I’ve been feeling rather lazy regarding bloggan’ lately and this was supposed to be out days since but forgive me. Originally I was going to focus on just a few shows to avoid dropping a whole lot of them but as the first episodes started rolling... | | |
| 5:38am | White Album is the worst kind of anime | | | | I hate White Album. It is going to cause me lots of pain and I know it. First off, the art style. The character design and animation by itself is passable and decently good-looking, and like the direction of the story, strongly reminiscent of True Tears. But the art direction otherwise, makes me wonder... | | |
| 2:27am | [White Album] MANLY by Proxy, and Prediction of Things to Come | | | | OH SHI– I remember reading this blog post / article a few months ago, about how a girl (let’s call her Girl A) can perceive a [boring- or plain-looking] guy to be ‘handsome(r) by proxy’ (I don’t remember the exact term used, and I also can’t find the article I’m referring to orz) when... | | |

| 5:25am | Kimikiss~pure rouge: Or, Romancing the Ensemble Romance | | | | My love affair is only just beginning--with Kimikiss, not Yuumi. (but her too) First: I picked up Kimikiss, uh, last night. I’m now on episode 7 24 hours later, which isn’t bad progress at all (for me, anyway), and I’m highly surprised that I’m that far already. This is a good... | | |
| 9:25pm | Zoku Natsume Yuujin-chou 01: Return of the Bishie and his Cat |  | | | Omisyth: black lelangir: blue ←[109] First thing I noticed was that the OP got kind of a generic pop sound to it. Yeah, I wasn’t fond of it, but the lyrics were significant. It’s very similar to the OP change in Marimite - there’s a line that says something like “embrace the... | | |
| 10:52pm | White Album - 01 |  | | | OP: “Shinai (深愛)” by Nana Mizuki - Um, what? The animation is boriiiiiingwait. OMG OMG NANA MIZUKI OMG Summary: A boy named Fujii Touya wakes from a dream where he could not hear his girlfriend Morikawa Yuki over noise being projected from a nearby rock band. In the end, Yuki had... | | |
| 9:54pm | True Tears: ‘No connection! No connection!’ | | | | I watched True Tears in the space of a few days at the end of August. I was reasonably impressed. People who actually know things about quality seemed to agree: if I had to list the better anime of 2008 by skimming opinions from the creamy top of the ’sphere, True Tears would probably feature.... | | |
| 7:59am | The Final Day of Christmas 2008 - taking aim at 2009 | | | | “But your poorly-crafted charm of endless night That’s no match for my power controlling eternity. The dawn is getting closer. This is the end of your imperishable night Now the dawn will come!!” Well, all good, bad, and tl;dr things must come to an end, right? It’s New Year’s... | | |
| 4:00am | THAT’s Official “Best Anime of 2008″ Post | | | | The gift of moe The post of the title is pretty self-explanatory, but what the hell. I badgered several of the THAT authors into indicating along with me what they thought the best anime of 2008 was. Some of them (including myself) could not contain themselves and split their selection. Regardless,... | | |
| 8:00am | The 18th Day of Christmas 2008 - resolving resolutions | | | | Well, one year ago I made a bunch of New Year’s Resolutions of sorts, in terms of anime viewing, as to what I definitely most absolutely must had to see (or experience, or rave about, in a few cases) over the next 12 months. And while it’s apparent that the last year in the anime fandom... | | |
| 9:40pm | The 15th Day of Christmas 2008 - Club Nayuki | | | | “Club Nayuki” is this hip imaginary place in my head, a VIP locale for some of the underdog, underloved, or underrated characters in anime. Christened after a certain Miss Minase who gained quite the following in the great battle of Kanon, it’s a place I often reference when referring... | | |
| 3:08am | 39 New Winter Anime -- full previews: staff, cast, pic, story, trailer | | | | The winter season is usually the least exciting of the year, but there are always surprises. Last year, there were true tears and Spice & Wolf. Here are some of this year's possibilities, followed by a complete preview of almost all the new shows:-- Genji Monogatari Sennenki is a new anime based... | | |
