| 5:10am | First Impressions: Eden of the East, Shangri-La, Basquash | | | | So I didn’t just watch Fullmetal, I did catch some other shows and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed by the few I’ve checked out so far.Eden of The East OMG this had me laughing so hard. Aww aren’t they cute! Seeing as that I’m English, having an opening theme performed... | | |
| 12:18am | First impressions: Tears to Tiara, Shangri-la, and Pandora hearts | | | | When I was playing Tears to Tiara, I didn’t notice how cheesy everything was. Demon lord? Sacrificial virgins? The absurdity of everything really hit me when Arawn came out of his coffin in a wispy, ghost-like mist and the priest was just standing there laughing as if he was on nitrous oxide.... | | |
| 10:04am | Basquash! - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Dan quickly loses his status of hero when he goes up against a girl. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) As for the shows I’m not going to blog: - Asura Cryin’ has annoying characters. - K-On also has annoying characters, and its sense of humour just isn’t my cup of tea.... | | |
| 7:26am | Rozen Aso: Otaku Tourism Will Save Japan |  | | | Prime Minister Rozen Aso recently debuted his newest plan to shake Japan out of its economic doldrums: otaku tourism. With one notable exception, Aso’s new plan differed little from the tired promises made in past. Whilst his plan repeats oft mentioned commitments to an environmentally conscious... | | |

| 1:21pm | A Certain Somewhat Ugly Magical Kickboxer | | | | The most interesting kickboxer in Japan would have to be Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima, an avid anime fan and cosplayer who happens to be extremely adept at judo and full contact karate. Famous for dressing in flamboyant anime costumes as he fights, the New Japan Kickboxing Federation-affiliated fighter... | | |
| 3:23am | fullmetal alchemist 2 : brotherhood | | | | “Don’t mess with Fullmetal, or he’ll whack you with spiky, clubby thing” Fullmetal is back, its really back and if the first episode is anything to go by I’m going to love it as much this time as I did the first time round. Some of you might have begun reading my posts... | | |
| 12:00am | LISTEN TO MY SONG VOL. 9: A Duet for my CHARGING HEART OF LOVE | | | | Gorgeous, delicious, fanservice. DECULTURE! The people behind this sure know what I want, and they give it to me. Never mind that May’n doesnt deliver a good vocal performance here. It’s the idea that matters, and that they actually went out and did it. In my mind, and in the minds of... | | |
| 10:17am | Kuro Bara 2009 - The Shiro Coverage |  | | | Tao Jun (Shaman King) I went to the first ever Kuro Bara event last Saturday over at Liang Court, Singapore. Didn’t have high expectations for it, but surprisingly it was decent and the turnout for it was quite good in my opinion. Indoor lighting was good enough for casual photo taking, and yes... | | |
| 8:13am | K-ON First Impression | | | | It’s K-On, the hip (?) new anime everybody is talking about. By god I just had to check it out and give my first impression, I just had too. Since this is a slice of life comedy that is totally character (?) driven I’m going to be returning briefly to the style I used back when I... | | |
| 7:15pm | Basquash ep. 1 - Truly And Utterly Kawamori - STAY TILL THE END!!! | | | | Basquash! is a new Shoji Kawamori show done by Satellite (Arjuna, Noein, Macross Frontier, all excellent). This show is worth watching for visual quality alone. The backgrounds are detailed beyond belief, and really they are hardly backgrounds - this show has a constant feel of dimensionality (holy shit,... | | |
| 5:00pm | The 2009 Spring Season Preview |  | | | It feels like the year just started and yet we’re already so close to the Spring season for anime this year. While we say good bye to some anime we’ve been following over the months such as Clannad and Gundam 00, we’ll soon be saying hello to much anticipated titles such as the new... | | |
| 12:00pm | How to make Frontier even more JAWSOME (I kid you not) | | | | Oh yeah, speaking about my massive boner for the quality trolls at Colony Drop, I read their criticism about Macross Frontier. Yes I love Macross Frontier, yes, I remembered love, but these guys are right. Macross Frontier CAN be better, even if Episode 25 is the most beautiful Deus Ex Machina I have... | | |
