| 9:48pm | Norman Rafferty on Nanoha |  | | | Charles Solomon may be getting old, but never fear, there’s always someone ready to do the job. And I’m not talking about Scott Von Schilling this time. Behold: [Nanoha] opens with lazy production values that are typical for Japanese television. The colors are typical paint-and-trace, which... | | |
| 7:36pm | Princess Lover! #06 — Dirty Ping Pong | | | | I mean that they cheat, you perverts. Sorry, my presence is mandatory at a party tonight for my newly engaged sister. If I don’t get these done now, I may not get them done until tomorrow. You’ll survive the LQ. Impressions: Well, apparently Go Hands still has some budget left, as they... | | |
| 6:10pm | Yuri Network News - August 1, 2009 | | | | As Yuricon is about to turn 9 years old, and Okazu 7, I've been thinking about what we've accomplished so far and what there is still yet to do. In many ways we have no influence over what happens in Japan, of course. Other than perhaps buying so much Yuri that we actually become a blip on their market... | | |

Next in line would be Shamal (already... | | |
| 5:01am | Someone Needs to Make a Saki RPG | | | | Seriously. With all the ridiculous metaphorical battle cutscenes they’ve been throwing at us, someone needs to make this happen soon. We might as well all get it over with and make an action RPG out of this thing. Or maybe an over the top fantasy battle anime spin-off series. Think Sengoku Basara... | | |
| 10:00am | Umi Monogatari - First Impressions |  | | | I thought these first couple of episodes were great. It’s pretty much as I suspected as far as the Mahou Shoujo aspect goes but there is also an interesting, although not unique, comparison going on between seas life and “sky” life that I think will be interesting to see more of. Having these... | | |
| 3:17pm | Faust Volume 2 | | | | You know, I’m kind of surprised that this actually got released. This isn’t me being negative about the content, rather that the first volume came out in August last year and has since done an exceedingly good job of consuming shelf space at my local bookstores. As much as I’d like... | | |
| 4:07am | Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! #04 — A Week Without Fluids | | | | And the only tentacle rape is self-inflicted. For the curious, yeah, I’m done with Sea Story. I gave it a month, but it’s just not working. I blame the music and formulaic nature. Impressions: What an absolutely delightful episode. I’m not even mad at Sento for telling Iono that... | | |
