| 7:10pm | Beginning of Spring Season | | | | or should I say the ultimate yaoi season? This is the probably the best anime season for gay otaku! not even half the shows are watchable by the straight audience and even from them, not even half are not shounen/harem crap. A very disappointing season in general. To sum it up:Yaoi: Himitsu, Junjou... | | |
| 12:08am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 3 |  | | | ED Theme: Wagahai wa Shougojuu de Aru ka? by Hiroki Yasumoto [Youtube] - I rather enjoyed this ED even if it wasn’t as great as the previous one. It was much more serious and took a much more slower tone then the rest, which suited the character it was based on. (Teika) well. Just incase you... | | |
| 5:09pm | I’m succumbing to the urge of a first impressions post | | | | Ah, I see, Osusu is still having fun fulfilling the prejudices of the “rage of Sasa’s cobloggers”, haha. As for myself, I shall finally write something about anime too. It’s the first time in my multiple years of blogging that I ever wrote a “First impressions” post... | | |
| 4:34am | New Season Popularity in Japan -- 2channel vs. TV Ratings | | | | Macross Frontier and probably Code Geass top the list of most posted-about new shows on 2channel. Macross is at almost 87,000 posts. The most popular new shows in TV ratings, however, are Blue Dragon 2 and Net Ghost PiPoPa. I'll get to TV ratings later in the article.Unfortunately, it's hard to know... | | |
| 4:42pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki | | | | Looks like another crazy anime has just come out. Kyouran Kazoku Nikki means the Diaries of the Mad Family, and the show has really lived up to its name since the first episode. It all starts off with this catgirl running around town in an Oliver Twist-esqe rampage of food collection, but starts to get... | | |
| 2:27am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - 03 |  | | | Summary:Yuuka gets roughed up again on the way back from school one afternoon and ends up crying to Ginka when she gets home. | | |
| 7:58pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #03 — Megalomelodrama | | | | Ew get it away, get it away! Impressions: Ugh. Who got all this serious melodrama in my show about megalomaniacal catgirls? The comedy was basically completely missing from this episode and instead we got the bizarre story about Yuuka’s former family, the Yumemiya’s, who torture their... | | |

| 12:10am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki 02 | | | | Click Image for Original Size I’m shocked It’s things like that, things that leave me speechless, those kinds of things are what makes an anime great. It’s hard for a COMEDY anime to implement both a serious and comedic tone without making it feel forced or out of place. This episode... | | |
| 7:59pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki 02 - So I Hate God… I Hate The World | | | | I don’t know what to really expect of this show. I picked this up with no clue what I was in for, and it managed to surprise me more than I thought possible. It was insane, in the random shit kind of insane. When I mentioned random, I seriously was not kidding in the slightest. Please excuse the... | | |
| 5:17pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki 02 |  | | | “MIDAREZAKI YUUKA LIGHTSABER SLASH!” Oh god, I lawl’d. That was certainly embarrassing. Gawd, I loved how Ouka did all the smokescreen effects by shooting on the ground with an AK-47. Hardcore man. Well, it’s not all fun and laughter though, as we glimpse a bit in to the past... | | |
| 2:30pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki ep.02 | | | | This one is a lot better than the first episode. While the episode does have that after school message feel to it, at least it also comes with a generous amount of comedy. The animation takes a slight nosedive in the form of inconsistent character design. At one point some character's face looks... | | |
| 11:21am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - Episode 2 |  | | | Review: As with last episode, I also really enjoyed this. The change was that while last episode was humorous, this episode had a more serious storyline with humor thrown in. After all, since when have you had anyone chanced by a lion and a flying octopus. Graphics: Still redeeming the high quality... | | |
