| 11:30pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 26 (Completed) | | | | After some early signs of promise, and the occasional flash of genius, by the end of it all I've found myself feeling really rather apathetic towards Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, to the point where it's almost a relief to reach the end of this long and winding road.I was at least hoping for a satisfactory conclusion... | | |
| 11:01pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 25 | | | | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki reaches its penultimate episode - Can this extremely hit and miss series end with a bang or a whimper?Overall, the signs aren't particularly good for a memorable ending, jumping around between one place and another to keep the various plot devices on show from Gouyokuou to Gekka... | | |
| 1:47am | Ga-rei -Zero- #05 — Stop Fiiiiiiiiiighting!! | | | | Whine more, Kagura. Whine more. Impressions: Yes. This is how you recapture the interesting bits of Yomi slicing people up. You have an episode where Kagura is sad that Yomi and Noriyuki don’t get along and concocts a terrible plan to make Yomi jealous over Noriyuki and therefore fall in love... | | |
| 9:08pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Did I call it? | | | | The Child of Enka “The neko girl {Kyouka-sama} may take over the world though!! She acts as if she already has!!” —From the first Kyouran Kazoku Nikki Post. Nope I didn’tI meant it as a joke so it doesn’t count>_> Besides, she’s not taking over the worldshe’s... | | |
| 6:36am | Summer '08 Season Review | | | | In general the shows that were completed during the summer season were very weak. With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices. Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:... | | |
| 1:30pm | I Actually Finished Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. I Bet I’m the Only One. | | | | I appear to be the only person I know or have heard of that sat through all half a year’s worth of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. It ended last Saturday with an ending as exciting as flat coke. Pity. For an anime of 26 episodes, there sure was a hell lot of pointless time wasted, resulting in the final... | | |
| 4:07pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 24 | | | | To be quite honest, I simply don't know what to say about episode twenty-four of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - On the one hand, I'm grateful that the series is at least moving towards a point when all is revealed about the Children of Enka and so on (although it seems like so long since they were last mentioned... | | |
| 12:09am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #26 — I am Spartacus! | | | | No, I am Spartacus! Impressions: Well, at least the show has finally been put out of its misery, even if this episode was about 3 minutes of Kyouka ranting and 15 minutes of "family is important" speeches. Good lord was that awful. First Ouka gave one in a complete retcon of the cliffhanger... | | |
| 7:35pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 23 | | | | I really hoped that last episode's story wasn't going to stretch out into a multi-episode arc, but after looking like it might keep itself down to a single instalment for much of the time it somehow managed to turn into just that.So, we were left with an episode that began as "Invasion of the rejects... | | |
| 10:37pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 22 | | | | After that weak Christmas-themed episode of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki last time around, it would have been hard not to improve upon that particular offering. Episode twenty-two starts up a new mini story arc which, in keeping with so much of this series, manages to be okay without ever daring to stray into... | | |
| 6:38am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #25 — Monkeys and Pirates and Aliens, Oh My | | | | Somehow, they managed to mix those things up and just come up with a dull brown sludge. Earl and Fairy will have to wait until tomorrow. The Hartford airport has nice, strong, free wireless though, maybe I’ll be able to get it watched and uploaded there. If not, then late tomorrow night after... | | |
| 3:45am | Absolutely Lovely Children #26 — The Queen of Catastrophe | | | | I’d let her ruin me any day of the week. I’m still on vacation for another couple days. Yes yes, this is late, but I don’t think I’m going to get to Kyouran Kazoku Nikki until tomorrow regardless. I watched about 5 minutes of it and my brain shut down. It’s another... | | |
| 1:46am | Anime Banzai Motivational Poster - Santa Claus |  | | | Abit off season butSeriously, Kyouran Kazoku Nikki is one very crazy show. If you want laughs, absurdity and plain nonsense with a dash of family fun and togetherness, give it a go. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fabanzai.animeblo gger.net%2F2008%2F09%2F29%2Fan ime-banzai-motivational-poster -santa-claus%2F';... | | |
| 10:20pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 21 | | | | After bringing us such a good twentieth episode of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, I'd almost forgotten how hit and miss this series has been, which left me hoping for more of the same this time around. Boy was I disappointed.A sunny late September weekend probably isn't the best time to watch a Christmas-themed... | | |
| 10:19pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 20 | | | | Did I just watch an episode of the wrong series? I thought I was watching Kyouran Kazoku Nikki's twentieth instalment, but that can't have been it I just saw can it?Okay, so I'm over-egging this particular pudding - It was very much Kyouran Kazoku Nikki I just watched, and this isn't the first time... | | |
