| 9:21pm | Yuri Manga: Mangatime Kirara Miracle (まんがタイムきららミラク) | | | | Today’s post is less of a “review” and more of a heads-up. ^_^ Along with Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime, and Shinsokan’s Pure Yuri Anthology Hiirari and Hobunsha’s Tsubomi magazine, there is a secret repository of Yuri on Japanese manga magazine shelves. ^_^ Where... | | |
| 4:39am | Yuyushiki begins |  | | | Yuyushiki is a bit strange and I found it difficult to judge. The “cute girls doing cute things” area is well mined nowadays, but I did not see one like it before. Initial episodes of Lucky Star were somewhat vapid and boring. K-ON offered us the hated “retard moe”. Hidamari... | | |
| 3:47am | My Saturday Afternoon at DaiCon 2013 | | | | I returned to my alma mater UC Davis on Saturday to check out DaiCon 2013. It was the second straight year that the Davis Anime Club has put on such an event and this time they had a couple special guests (Wendee Lee & J.S. Gilbert), an small artists’ alley and dealers section, band performances,... | | |
| 4:45am | AIURA begins |  | | | As always, the hidden gem of the season arrives unexpectedly. I thought it gotta be the mermaids, bro, to borrow from Nova. And mermaids are pretty good, no doubt, but AIURA is in a different class entirely. The only thing that lets it down is the 4-minute format. Not sure if this is the format, but... | | |
| 6:00pm | Yuyushiki | | | | Another slice-of-life comedy show was looking forward to this new season is “Yuyushiki”, the anime adaptation of the “ゆゆ式” four panel manga by Komata Mikami. In many aspects this series is quite similar to “Aiura” as it showcases the everyday life of three girls, their mindless chats... | | |

| 4:05am | Yuyushiki — First Impressions | | | | Trying to be like Lucky Star and Nichijou. Unfortunately they didn’t get the memo that it was supposed to be funny. This is how I felt from watching: Dropped. | | |

| 8:30pm | Spring 2013 Anime Previews: staff, cast, story, trailer, pic, etc. | | | | This is the season of science fiction. There are seven shows with something sci-fi about them, from a remake of the Space Battleship Yamato series to three mecha shows to a kids' show and a harem romance.But in this well-populated spring season, we have other genres, too: action fantasy, ecchi comedy,... | | |
| 6:30pm | Spring 2013 Season Preview--Big Expectations | | | | Image SourceAs the Winter season wraps up and the wheat is separated from the chaff, it's time to speculate about the new season! I'm excited for quite a few things this time around. Which shows are on your must-watch list?Disclaimer: The following is my personal (and embellished) opinion based on the... | | |
| 12:17am | 2002 Anime: Azumanga Daioh | | | | This was always going to be an interesting one to review. Azumanga Daioh is frequently held up by people such as myself as a cutesy 4-koma adaptation that is actually good and therefore proof that I don’t unconditionally hate moe comedies. But Azumanga was made long before those series became... | | |
| 8:00pm | What makes an anime memorable? |  | | | Last month, hoshiko wrote a post discussing certain qualities of anime she feels make them memorable. While I’m sure we can all think of things that make an anime “good,” I think the traits that make an anime “memorable” are different In this day and age where we have... | | |

| 7:20am | Secret Santa 2012 |  | | | The master page at Reverse Thieves contains links to a number of interesting reviews for the 2012 Secret Santa. Few are going to agree with me, but I appreciate how by and large authors put some effort into the job. Krizzlybear, GA:GADC: Noda often finds herself lacking in talent Excuse me, what is... | | |
