| 6:59am | A Farewell to Episodic Blogging: Off to Discover My Naritai Jibun | | | | With the outpour of the new Spring animes, I’ve been thinking a lot about what blogging style I should really adopt and stick to. I had already gone weary of making summary posts, not because of the elitist view that editorials and other writing styles are superior to episode summaries, but rather... | | |
| 2:50pm | Anime Banzai! Funcast #03 - Out with the old and in with the new |  | | | Did you miss us last week? We’re not dead yet as Kozato and I bring you our next Funcast with Kozato taking the Hotseat!Download it here or here.Content:1) Intro + Random Talk | 00:00 - 04:182) Winter 08 Impressions- Kimikiss Pure Rouge by Kozato | 04:19 - 09:23- Mokke by nutcase23 |... | | |
| 3:57pm | Nominations, Criticism, and The ABA: Thank You For Blogging! |  | | | In view of the nice things that well-meaning people have said and the not so nice things that other, more tragically misunderstood people have said, I guess now would be a better time than any to clear the air on the inaugural Anime Blog Awards, of which I happen to be part of the organising committee.... | | |
| 4:03am | True Tears, the Heroine Paradox, and the Madden Cover Jinx | | | | Of course, that is all pretentious-speak for “I finished True Tears and I can’t decide whether to be angry, satisfied, or moved to tears,” but carry on. I’ve railed on True Tears a couple of times before for being decidedly normal and unchallenging. It was very good looking... | | |
| 6:00pm | [SSA] On links and incidentally, synchronicity | | | | This is more for my own assurance than anything else. In short, I see very few outgoing link hits when going over stats. Like, zero. Okay, on average one for text links, and a couple clicks on images. It may be FeedBurner not being able to track most cases or something else, but I’d be lying... | | |
| 2:57pm | Thou Shall Not Diss The Artwork of Itazura na Kiss! | | | | Ok, so Itazura na Kiss aired just a few days ago and many people are complaining about its crappy artwork. It just makes me sigh. Young’ns nowadays don’t know how to appreciate good oldschool 80’s or 90’s shoujo art. Tsk. I might sound old, but I assure you, I am not! As... | | |
| 8:33am | The Mars and Venus of Character Biases, feat. KimiKiss and True Tears | | | | It’s been more than a month since I had this post in mind, but for some reason I decided to forget about the idea and even scrapped my draft post for this orz. But lo and behold, as Crusader opens up the topic about biases, I decided to give this post one more shot. Also because I’ve learned... | | |
| 7:12am | Shugo Chara at hotel TV |  | | | Shugo Chara had the benefit of praise by Jeff Lawson, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, it did not quite deliver for me. It was nice, yet somehow overly patterned? Maybe I’m being too picky. Once, we hit a filler episode, where shugo senshi try to find who stole their cake. They found an excuse... | | |
| 1:57am | Mike’s Spring 2008 Season Prospects |  | | | The spring 2008 season of anime has begun! What will I look at this season? Looking back at my previous history at doing these previews, I notice a few trends:I’ve never been able to follow more than 3 shows regularly.There has always been one show that I badly misjudge initially. (Kimikiss,... | | |

| 12:51am | sidetracked by shiori special: shakugan no shana second 24 | | | | “How can I praise you for something stupid like that?!? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate all the melonpan?” In the end, Shakugan no Shana II was like an average NASCAR race. It sounds awesome, there’s a lot of action, fire, and people getting punted into walls, but then you realize... | | |
| 7:05am | True Tears Review - The Sum of All Tears (85%) | | | | A few missteps and lurches into soap opera territory cannot spoil what was the most delicately balanced–and affecting–ending this season, capping off a show that quietly joined the ranks of the Great Game Adaptations. True Tears is one of those seemingly unique-to-anime coming-of-age stories... | | |
