| 6:00pm | The Day the Angel Fell…IN FLAAAAAMES | | | | The 2012 Les Misérables movie was my first experience with the story in any format, and while watching it I had a thought that was probably the last one anyone would have: What if Gundam AGE were more like Les Misérables? (Warning: Gundam AGE spoilers. Also for Les Miserables, but maybe that’s... | | |

| 8:59pm | Star Crossed Six Year Anniversary | | | | Today, six years ago, I made the first post on this blog. Yay! Back then, I probably didn’t imagine that I’d keep going with it for this long (I really started blogging on a completely random whim). In any case, just like last year and all the years before it, I like to celebrate these events... | | |
| 10:48am | Legend of Galactic Heroes Review - 92,5/100 | | | | Oh my god. I’ve finally finished the first part of this behemoth of a franchise. Legend of Galactic Heroes is completely unique. It took more 12 years for it to completely finish, from the opening movie to the final side-stories. It was un-rivaled at the time when it came out, and nothing like... | | |
| 5:27pm | Hana-Saku Iroha Review - 85/100 | | | | Hana-Saku Iroha. is an interesting one. Probably the best way to start a review about it is to warn that it can be quite misleading when you start watching it. This series has two wonderfully written opening episodes that have a ton of well written drama, only followed by episodes of random slice... | | |

| 5:23am | Summer 2011 Anime -- Full Previews of All the New Series | | | | We have 26 new series this summer, up from 21 last summer and 22 the summer before. Trends? Four shows involving vampires, and lots of moe.I'm not sure we'll get shows as good as Shiki (summer 2010) or Bakemonogatari, Aoi Hana, and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (summer 2009). But there are some good possibilities:●... | | |
| 6:31pm | Summer Season Preview | | | | To give an impression of this season: it’s got 25 TV-series in total that are airing. In the history of anime, there was only one summer season that premiered as many TV-series as here, and that was 2007. On top of that though, I’ve marked a whopping six series with a potential of 85% or... | | |
| 9:56pm | Little Princess Sara Review - 85/100 | | | | So, time for me to review another installment of the World Masterpiece Theatre. Little Princedss Sara tells about about a young, really rich girl who joins a boarding school in London.

| 3:07pm | Gankutsuou Review - 95/100 | | | | So, I watch a lot of anime. With this, I’m only two reviews away from my 700th review on this site, and I really try to watch as much anime as possible.

| 2:31pm | Ie Naki Ko Review - 87,5/100 | | | | this was made in 1977. It’s amazing to think that even at a time when anime was only fifteen years old, and mostly consisted out of cheesy and episodic kiddie shows, some people were already making these highly detailed, imaginative and well told storylines. I wouldn’t be surprised... | | |
