| 1:01pm | Seiyuus - Comparing characters with characters | | | | Rina Satou is a jellyfish? I can’t lose! As finals and my birthday creeps around the corner, I try to think of something new to post. Everyone has their lovable seiyuus and sometimes watch certain anime because of them. Well, I decided to take some of their characters and compare them with their... | | |
| 9:43pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 4 | | | | After the last couple of episodes of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki really quite surprised me by being rather different from what I expected (although not in a bad way thankfully), episode four of the series finally seems to plant it in what you could ironically call the most sensible direction for the series... | | |
| 9:05pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - 05 |  | | | Summary:With the honeymoon trip all planned out, Kyouka wakes up Ouka one morning to show him the airport that's suddenly appeared right outside their home. | | |
| 6:58pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #05 — Kokomo | | | | We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow. Impressions: Just a quick writeup this time. The raw appeared especially late, throwing my precious precious schedule into chaos and then SmartFTP decided to completely crap out on me and crash instead of uploading files so here we are,... | | |
| 4:26am | Blog Update - 2008.05.10 |  | | | The lack of updates can be attributed to several factors: 1) purchase for a (used) Xbox 360; 2) studying and homework (no, really!); 3) writer’s block; 4) lack of enough anime watching; and 5) laziness. I bought a great deal of a used Xbox 360, 11 games, 2 controllers, and 2 Guitar Hero controllers... | | |
| 2:26am | Absolutely Lovely Children #06 — Snake! SNAKE!? SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!! | | | | This is a sneaking mission. Do not get caught under any circumstances. Impressions: I haven’t forgotten about Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, the raw is just taking a long time to show up. Probably related to the arrests of a group of cappers a day or two ago. Oh well. *shrug* It’ll show up when... | | |

| 3:57pm | Spring 2008 Impressions: Serious Business |  | | | I’m quite amused to hear that suspension of disbelief still becomes an issue nowadays. What, you want realism in a medium where oversized eyes are a norm, saving the world is perfunctory, and girls develop mysterious terminal diseases that require a guy (who also conveniently pops out of nowhere)’s... | | |
| 7:08pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki 03 |  | | | Rather more serious, BAWWW episode, as the final member of the Kyouran Kazoku cast is finally incorporated in. Himemiya Senko, Yuka’s real sister, comes back to torment her in to returning home to become their “Solitude Doll” back, as she’s pushed back in to the role. Along... | | |
| 8:12pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #04 — That Old Black Magic… | | | | Has me in its spell Impressions: I dunno. There was something about this episode that just bored me. I think it was the heavy focus on travel consultant Sakurai. She was really really lame and boring and I want no part of that. I think the high point was Yuka randomly nuzzling Teika near the start.... | | |

| 1:52pm | April Summary | | | | So, most series have had four episodes aired now. So far, the season is looking quite promising, with many good series that have debuted. I’ve been noticing an on-going trend though, about how much more 13 episode-series appear. It’s a shame, because a lot of these series could have easily been... | | |
