| 2:04pm | Kunai USB | | | | Kunai [苦無] is a weapon which is commonly associated with the ninja. Not only is it a useful weapon, it is also now an excellent storage device. Source: Akihabaranews This 2GB kunai USB can be bought off GeekStuff4U for an incredibly high price of 11,500 yen. The price is too shocking to endure... | | |

| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |

| 7:00pm | Ichiroh Manga, Volume 1 (English) | | | | When Yuri Network Correspondent Sean G. drew my attention to this manga, he did it in the least appealing way, much as he might have introduced me to a creepy relative.

| 5:37am | Cameos in Koharu Biyori |  | | | One remarkable thing about Indian Summer is how thick references are in it, such as posters for Shana, Dokuro-chan, etc. Normally anime does not go so far, or focuses on properties of the specific studio, but this is just insanity. If you thought Lucky Star was bad, watch this. So, at some point they... | | |

| 3:11pm | GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class - 10 | | | | GA really is the best 4Koma adaptation I have ever seen. And sure, the competition isn’t exactly dazzling, but it’s the first 4Koma adaptation that managed to really portray the short and snappy pacing of those sort of stories. It always brings something new to the table and never fails... | | |
