| 9:48pm | Zettai Karen Children… | | | | I have yet to figure out what I am really liking about Zettai Karen Children (and why I am really watching it). I’ll stick with it for now, but it’s not as zany or as funny as Hayate no Gotoku was or Kyouran Kazoku Nikki is. However, Aoi is made of top-quality AWESOME. | | |
| 9:06pm | Light Novel Review - "Bug, Eyeball, and Teddy Bear" | | | | The Japanese title is 蟲と眼球とテディベア (Mushi to Gankyuu to Teddy Bear, translated literally as Bug, Eyeball, and Teddy Bear). A bizarre title for one of the most bizarre yet unique light novel series I've ever read. People in the U.S. have probably heard of the Kyouran Kazoku Nikki series... | | |

| 3:40pm | The Weekly Ratings Return… 6 June 2008 (as I forgot the Week Number). | | | | Due to the start of the holidays, I had to miss watching anime for a while and this prevented the weekly rating post from being written. As I caught up on my backlog, I got confused by the numerous series I was following. Like I’ll miss out on episode 6 and start watching 7, only realising halfway... | | |
| 6:33am | Rising interest in Itazura na Kiss | | | | Amazing what a change in scenery and setting does for a series. From the start I liked Itazura na Kiss. It was entertainingly boring (a good thing). More times than not romantic comedies are overly fast-paced and have fanservice dripping from the cracks. However, in the case of Itazura na Kiss, things... | | |
| 9:57am | [Misc.] Happy Birthday to… | | | | Inokuchi Yuka! (Tabitha from Zero no Tsukaima, Zazie Rainyday from Negima, Kamishiro Rin from Maburaho)Takayuki Kondo (Midarezaki Ouka from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki) was also born on this day. Oh, I share the same birthday, too hurr hurr.I guess that’s really my only reason for blogging today. I wanted... | | |
| 1:12pm | NICE BOOK - An Introduction | | | | Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. Full Metal Panic. Shakugan no Shana. Kino no Tabi. Toshokan Sensou. What do these anime have in common? 1- They’re awesome 2- They’re popular 3- They’re anime adaptations of light novels. Ah yes, the wonderful medium of Japanese Light Novels. You may have... | | |
| 10:51pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #08 — The Love of Gods | | | | Ouka, your life confuses me. Impressions: I’m tired of waiting for a decent raw, and I need to feed myself before Absoultely Lovely Time, so Niconico raw get! Of course, as I go to post, I notice that a decent one appeared 15 minutes ago. Oh well. First off, I’m not entirely certain that... | | |
| 10:27pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 6 | | | | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki has, in turns, amused, moved and entertained me, but it would only be fair to say that episode five really didn't float my boat due to its lack of humour and rather contrived emotional responses.While episode six, which concludes that particular mini-arc, was something of an improvement,... | | |
| 12:18am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki ep07: 광란가족일기 7화 | | | | Click pictures to enlarge them. Spoilers ahead so please be cautious. I don't usually blog this series, but this episode was exceptionally good, so I decided to babble a little about this episode. I read till vol.2 of the novel, but I did not see this,.. 글 전체보기 | | |
| 10:08pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #07 — SPATULA | | | | Carrying on the noble spatula fight. Impressions: I got tired of waiting again, so it’s another round of "Watch Anime On NicoNico!" And with Omni having dropped the show, I can now do as I please. If only I had any malevolent plans. Well, malevolent plans involving this show. I’m... | | |

| 9:59pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 5 | | | | Although I've really rather enjoyed Kyouran Kazoku Nikki up until now, episode five seems to be (for me at least) the point at which it has hit something of a wall with regards to its quality. Having moved from the rather soft centre of episodes two and three to the more expected crazy comedy last time... | | |
| 10:25am | Random Musings - The Hot Sheets |  | | | It's with great reluctance that I've had to make the decision to drop Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. It's absolutely nothing against the series - which I've enjoyed quite a bit - but rather due to my new job keeping me from being able to spare the time. Unfortunately, I had to cut something, and this was it.... | | |
| 4:43am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #06 — Island of Dr Bad Pun | | | | No pun is a good pun. Impressions: Well, I got tired of waiting for a real raw, so enjoy NicoNico quality caps. Delicious 512×288. Resolution of champions. Who needs anything more than that? The crazy guy’s name was Saruwatari? Are you kidding me? That’s almost as bad as Osana Najimi.... | | |
