| 12:28am | Let’s Discuss the Possible Future of JAM Project | | | | JAM Project is a music band that stands for many things, but primarily they stand for what JAM stands for: Japanese Animationsong Makers.

| 9:13pm | Help! Help! Clowns on the Lawnmower! / 2009 Winter Season Preview | | | | Oh, the weather outside is frightful Well, as usual, unless a show looks so bad as to give me bubonic leprosy, I’m probably going to check it out and then be able to formulate an opinion that isn’t based on a 50 word blurb and some pretty art the webmaster managed to steal from the animators... | | |

| 12:36pm | Comic Fiesta 2008 - Day 02 | | | | If I were to have it my way, every post’s OP image would be Ranka. More behind the scenes stuff. Was here most of the time the previous day, and here I am again, to relish the two figurines I had sought after so badly. For those who were converging the figurines booth, they may have noticed that... | | |
| 9:50pm | 9th Day of Christmas: When Plaid Was Popular Again |  | | | Running for over a year (60+ episodes) and still going is the magical Shugo Chara!, which was significant to me in being the new, modern staple of the mahou shoujo genre since Cardcaptor Sakura.

| 1:22pm | [Japan - Day 2] Otome Caek | | | | Spending the entire day at Ikebukuro has left me completely beat. Hours of trawling through Otome Road and flipping through shelves and piles of doujinshi, cds, and other goods has left my arms quite sore. We’ll start from the beginning.

| 11:00am | Mahou Shoujo Ai 3 Total Fiasco | | | | As reported here recently, new tentacle raep eroge Mahou Shoujo Ai 3 managed to somehow ship without the actual game CGs included, almost reducing the eroge (a genre certainly dependent on visuals) down to the level of the text-based MUDS popular in the 1980s. Not unexpectedly, the reaction of otaku... | | |
| 11:26am | Nanoha Strikers “Romantic Pillowcase” | | | | The upcoming Nanoha movie has ensured activity on the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Strikers goods front; the most interesting we hear of is this Subaru and Tiana “romantic pillowcase”, displaying the pair in no small detail.

The issue... | | |

| 4:54am | ANN hates Nanoha | | | | I lol’d. ANN once again proves that their reviewers, well stink. I chuckled many times while reading Mr. Kimlinger’s review. Do I have a biased vantage point?
