| 8:04pm | Minami-ke: Dessert OVA — Love and Carrots | | | | Get your mind out of the gutter, you perverts. Imagine my surprise at discovering this had been out for a few days now. Oops. Also, べつばら (Betsubara) is sort of an after-meal expression leading into dessert. JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR AND I’M NOT CRAZY HERE. Any more than usual at any... | | |
| 12:40pm | What’s Your Recommendation? | | | | “Which cake is better?” You know sometimes a friend who isn’t into anime comes up to you and asks if you could recommend them an anime to watch so they can see what’s so great about it. This happens more often if most of your friends are fans of anime and manga, and he or she... | | |
| 7:00am | valkyria rips off minami-ke character, mai hime scene | | | | What I expected from Valkyria Chronicles was a half-way decent strategy anime (a less ridiculous Code Geass) crossed with Yakitate Japan (with insects instead of bread) with a touch of biology, botany, and bosoms (Selvaria’s, of course). What I got was a lightweight slice-of-life and quite poorly... | | |
| 5:38am | Series Review: Minami-ke Okawari | | | | Minami-ke Okawari picks up right where the first season left off. Same thing, slightly different name. I found this season to be funnier, probably since I got most of the jokes this time around. I also think it had something to do with this season having a much larger (regular) cast; it was very rarely... | | |
| 5:52am | Series Review: Minami-ke | | | | Minami-ke follows the daily lives of three sisters: Haruka, Kana and Chiaki Minami. Minami-ke was pretty hilarious. I won’t lie, I didn’t get all the jokes, but I did like the running loincloth gag. Kana kind of got on my nerves sometimes, but Chiaki is hilarious. This is one of those animes... | | |
| 4:00am | Summer 2009 Anime Watch List | | | | Taking a break from playing Moon. and with roughly a month left until the start of the summer anime season, I decided to comb through the new shows to compile my quarterly anime watch list. As far as I am concerned the lineup seems to be strong with plenty of variety catering to many of my interests.... | | |
| 6:32am | Valkyria Chronicles - 06: We all sang songs, the pork was free! |  | | | Oddly enough it’s always the the weirdos that get famous, Patton was a weirdo who believed in reincarnation. I find it morbidly funny that Ellet is blonde haired and blue-eyed as that makes her Grade “A” Jerry and it’s up to Alicia to try and thwart what General Sherman would call a spy,... | | |
| 6:50am | Alicia vs Kana |  | | | Viewers of Valkyria Chronicles can’t help but notice certain curious similarities between the show’s heroine Alicia Melchiott and a certain Kana Minami, of Minami-ke Mere coincidence? Some curious reworking has also been going on: below you see the next episode preview image of “Alicia... | | |
| 4:26am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Valkyria Chronicles | | | | It might appear that I’ve fallen very far behind in doing my spring anime impressions but I haven’t – it’s all going according to the plan. Rereading some of my old impression posts, I realized sometimes how lost I was in figuring out the series based on only one episode. Therefore, I decided,... | | |
| 6:04am | Gonzo Redeemed with Strike Witches Second Season | | | | Troubled pantsu anime studio Gonzo has been given a lifeline with the confirmation that they will retain the rights to animate the hit pantsu-laden WWII influenced mecha musume series, Strike Witches, after earlier speculation that they would lose the franchise Gonzo’s getting the rights to the... | | |
| 3:47am | Minamike! 5 no 2! Utamatsuri Dayo! Hokago Daibakuhatsu!! | | | | I’ll probably have a full review of the 2 disc concert sometime this week but to wet the whistle of those that have not bought the DVD or accquired it through “other means’”, hit after the jump to see two of the Minami sisters’ character songs performed by their respective... | | |
| 4:05pm | Chihara Minori at DaiCon! |  | | | Picture source: Danie’s Shopping Log The DaiCon event I reported earlier has announced their special guest after some speculation amongst locals and it turns out to be Miss Chihara Minori! Famed for her role as Nagato Yuki in Suzumiya Haruhi and Minami Chiaki in Minami-ke as well as a really... | | |

Hit up the first one about Clannad ~After Story~ and Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th, or the second one about Maria+Holic, Minami-ke Okaeri and Skip Beat!. This post will cover my last three.

| 1:00pm | Winter 2009 Wrap-up: Maria+Holic, Minami-ke Okaeri & Skip Beat! | | | | This is a series of posts on winter 2009 shows I finished. Hit up the previous one about Clannad ~After Story~ and Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th. This post will cover three more. Maria+Holic What a disappointment. The show went nowhere after seeming so promising.
