| 5:17pm | (Dropped) Kurenai - Naivety to the extreme | | | | I’m come to the (probably erroneous) conclusion that Kurenai is harem for joseis. No, not reverse-harem. It’s still a male harem lead only that he appears to be specifically tailored to pander to the older female crowd (and by older I’m talking about late teens and early twenties.)... | | |
| 12:16am | Jonathan Tappan on Kure-nai |  | | | Bugfox makes me laugh. Shinkurou Kurenai is an atypical sixteen-year-old. An orphan (his parents were killed by terrorists) he lives alone in a tiny, unkempt apartment. By day he attends high school. By night he has a part-time job as a “dispute mediator.” “Dispute mediation” seems to involve... | | |
| 11:53pm | The Return of the Hosaka Award | | | | It’s been so long since we’ve had a Hosaka award winner that we feel it’s necessary to explain what this award is all about. ‘The Weekly - Funniest Scene not Involving Hosaka - Award’ highlights gut busting funny moments in anime. The award is obviously named in honor of... | | |

| 12:27pm | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 2: Calling You |  | | | By TheBigN(ip This in the Bud) Suddenly, there were cell phones! Thousands of them! Or so my thoughts went as I watched this episode. Of course, this is coming from someone who doesn’t have a cell phone, so seeing how frequently they were used in this episode is interesting enough for me to write... | | |
| 6:17pm | The Daughter of Twenty Faces halfway thoughts: going solo | | | | Whut? Another Nijuu Mensou no Musume post when I’ve yet to even finish Library Wars? Yep, The Daughter of Twenty Faces takes priority over even that and the new summer season for me right now. For a show that slipped onto the aggregators with barely a murmur, it’s strange to see it right... | | |
| 10:56pm | Well, I got lazy: A Zero-Punc-style script for a Kure-nai review | | | | There’s one of my groundbreaking review ideas out of the bag. Well, not groundbreaking since it’s a rip-off of one of the larger video-game-culture phenomenons of late of Zero Punctuation, everyone’s favorite fast-talking fast-insulting Australian guy who rambles on about video games... | | |
| 8:57pm | Final Thoughts: Kurenai | | | | Shinkurou Kurenai is a high school student with a unique part-time job; under the auspices of his boss, benefactor and mentor Juuzawa Benika, he’ll do anything- no matter how dangerous. And yet administering rough justice to the thugs and lowlifes out there is nothing compared to Shinkurou’s latest... | | |
| 3:40am | Kure-nai: Now Sold in Review Form! | | | | Kure-nai scores an 8 out of 10. (Spoilers located in pictures) First off, I feel it necessary to go ahead and give a little plot summary, but I am way to lazy to even attempt and putting my words from episode 1 all together, so I figured I’d just copy and past from a comforting... | | |
| 11:46pm | Toshokan Sensou: Top 3 Moments | | | | It’s become a tradition for us here are KA to take a look back at some of our favorite shows and pick the top three moments form the entire series. So just like we did for Kurenai and Hosaka we’re going to give the treatment to Toshokan Sensou aka Library War. Oh - we know Hosaka is... | | |
| 12:29pm | Impressions on Kurenai: The Ties That Bind | | | | Written by TheBigN(ew York City?!?) In regards to Kurenai¸ when I finished watching it, the show filed into my “pretty good, but not great” category in my head. There were a couple of nitpicks here and there (like the confusing first episode), and the ending actually felt a little too... | | |
| 4:26pm | On anime watching and more books for sale | | | | It’s actually been a long while since I’ve gone to TT. School work, as can be expected, has become a heavier burden. I don’t even know the new anime that will come out, and I still haven’t watched Kurenai. If any of you guys can recommend me anime from the previous season (aside... | | |
| 2:18pm | Bleach Vs Naruto: Series and Current Filler Comparison | | | | Its the Clash of the Titans! (about which practically nobody on the blogosphere is interested in anymore).This post could be classified as tl;dr and as such, there’s a quick summary of my point at the end.Naruto. A shounen that has existed in animated form for at least 6 years, garnering interest... | | |
| 1:19am | Kure-nai - 12: Finally a Finale! | | | | Do you love me? That post title does not imply that this show was slow or bad, but rather jests at my severe slowness as a writer. I won’t go on discussing all my views on the show’s entirety, so that I can save that for another post. This is all about the final episode of Kure-nai... | | |
| 7:53pm | Early season roundup. |  | | | As I’m still unsure what anime to blog in detail, I decided to briefly round up what I’ve checked out so far.
