| 1:47am | Absolutely Lovely Children #13 — Good Genes | | | | Her chest’s going to be huuuuuuuge in a few years. Impressions: This was quite a bit better than I was expecting it to be, but Kaoru’s family is almost as annoying as she can be. At least they’re nice to look at, even if they’re not the brightest bulbs in the world. I find... | | |
| 10:22pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #12 — Dote Up a Cat | | | | Ripped straight from True Love. Impressions: Kind of a strange episode for this show. Most of it was based around some guy named Rindo that Ginka used to live next door to. Yes, that blonde is Ginka. He takes a cat into his house, which then becomes a catgirl and he has his way with her. It really... | | |
| 6:26am | Penguin Girl ♥ #11 — Love Power Will Make You Naked | | | | And possibly giant. Impressions: So, when I opened this episode, I was ecstatic that it looked like it was going to be 13 minutes long (well, 10 minutes minus the OP/ED). Then, after the OP, there was a very long ad for the DVD by some poor girl that looked like they pulled her off the street, censored... | | |
| 11:00pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 9 | | | | Although I assumed that this latest mini-arc of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki was actually focusing on Ouka, it looks like I actually got it a little bit wrong - Although episode eight did indeed seem to centre around him, it appears that the real target of the plot itself was, eventually, Kyouka.This particular... | | |

| 6:47pm | 2008 Summer Anime Preview Pool Party and Daiquiri Making Contest | | | | Hot fun in the summer time. Obligatory mention that I’m going to end up watching the first episode of almost everything except sequel series anyway and doing a very very brief summarized tagline once I have actual information and can form an opinion that isn’t based on marketing and smoke... | | |
| 9:57pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #11 — Delicious Loli, It Must be Consumed | | | | What is with this show and speech impediments? Impressions: Yes, I’m calling an Osakan accent a speech impediment. That, combined with the Gebok’s fast talking made this episode the usual clustermuff of stopping and rewinding every 30 seconds to actually puzzle out what people were saying.... | | |
| 12:54am | Round Up: First Decent Kyouran Kazoku Nikki Parody & Macross Stuff | | | | Three videos we want to get out there for all to enjoy today. First up we have a Touhou x Kyouran Kazoku Nikki Parody. Question - did we miss something, when did Ranka join the cast of Touhou. Not 100% sure if that is actually Ranka, but if not it looks pretty damn close. Smiles all around for the... | | |
| 10:29pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 8 | | | | Despite occasionally wondering whether he was perhaps there as little more than the glue that holds the series crazy characters together, it appears that Ouka is going to get his own mini-arc within Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, and to be honest I'm rather pleased that's the case as he somehow seemed deserving... | | |
| 4:00am | Anime Dads |  | | | Ah, it’s Father’s Day over here, so here are some good and not so good anime dads. I tried to highlight fathers in recent series, because we can’t keep milking Evangelion for inspiration. It’s surprising how few have much of a role in anime series. Most of the time they are... | | |
| 3:10am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #10 — Ow, My Ears | | | | Goddammit, Chiwa Saito whoever. Impressions: Sorry to go all short versioned on you, but I’m exhausted. My dogs decided to wake me up around 7am this morning and I need a nap badly. The golden rule is that a show should not physically cause you pain. Even though I chuckled a few times through... | | |

| 1:29pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 7 | | | | This is the kind of problem you see on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares all the time - A trained assassin who has decided to try his hand at being a professional chef, but just can't stop his food from killing the customers stone dead. Unfortunately, it appears that the gruff Scotsman's reach doesn't... | | |
| 7:05am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #09 — O-Overdrive… | | | | Shinigami = Reisen Udonge Inaba? Impressions: I feel a little bad about skipping the summary on this episode, but it was weird. Really weird. Even for KKN it was pretty bizarre. After escaping bunnyears, the rabbit retreats as ‘reinforcements’ come and Kyouka realizes what’s going... | | |
