| 9:18pm | Minami-ke Okaeri - 13 (Final) |  | | | The worried Chiaki. My final impression is included! Summary: Haruka seems to be troubled about something one day, which Chiaki brings up to Kana. Kana initially suggests that Haruka is simply worried about dinner and breakfast preparations, but the two sisters soon discover that this isn’t... | | |
| 4:55pm | Minami-Ke Okaeri Review - 80/100 | | | | The reason why there aren’t many reviews of pure slice-of-life series on this site isn’t because I dislike the genre, or anything. Instead, when I need to drop series to prevent myself from watching too much at once, these shows also seem to be the ones to go down first. This season I... | | |
| 12:09am | Minami-ke: Welcome Back #13 — Sweet! Angst! | | | | Well, at least it’s over Impressions: Meh. This show has certainly seen better days. The brief upward spike in animation quality last week was not maintained, and with all the flashbacks through part 3, the argument could certainly be made that there was actually more of a dip. Overall, an... | | |
| 11:29am | The Scale of Yuri | | | | As promised, I’ve got some yuri philosophising for you this week It’s no secret that I like categorising everything that I’m interested in. I believe I’ve already started to try and develop a classification for Yuri in some of my previous posts – most notably my final fetish month post in... | | |
| 5:42pm | Minami-ke Okaeri 12 review; sleeping girls, markers, and a loose thread. | | | | This episode begins with Kana, Uchida, and Maki having a lot of fun and their noise wakes Chiaki from a nap, Chiaki attacks Kana with Fujioka. Kana asks Chiaki if she wants to fight? Yes. So, Kana pushes Uchida into face off with Chiaki for the first shouting match of the season, if... | | |
| 4:43am | Minami-ke Okaeri 11: The Joke So Nice, They Used It Twice |  | | | Yes, they really were BOTH laughing in that daydream. Just like a certain stripping senior Once again, as seems to be par for the course, Minami-ke Okaeri manages to lurch along from amusing to ho-hum all within the same episode. The twist this time is that we get an episode that focuses more on... | | |
| 11:31pm | Minami-ke Okaeri - Episode 12 | | | | I'm beginning to suspect that Minami-ke Okaeri is a bit like that old legend about versions of Microsoft Windows, where odd numbers are good revisions and even numbers bad. Thus, oddly numbered episodes of Minami-ke Okaeri have been pretty average at best, while even numbered instalments have been far... | | |
| 4:28am | 2009 Spring Anime Menu: Boys Keep Out Edition | | | | Springtime is finally here (yes we’re late, don’t have to tell us), bringing with it a HEAPLOAD of animes!! ‘For You in Full Blossom’ is but apt to describe this season, with plenty of variety to cater to just about any audience. And since our beloved male chefs didn’t... | | |
| 2:04am | Minami-ke Okaeri 11 - The Joke So Nice, They Used It Twice | | | | Yes, they really were BOTH laughing in that daydream. Just like a certain stripping senior Once again, as seems to be par for the course, Minami-ke Okaeri manages to lurch along from amusing to ho-hum all within the same episode. The twist this time is that we get an episode that focuses more on... | | |
| 5:48pm | Minami-ke Okaeri - 12 |  | | | The ups and downs of Minami-ke Okaeri come full circle in this spectacular and craptacular episode | | |

Episode 10 Summary: Touma visits the Minami household after running through the rain, but after being helped to the bath, Chiaki notices that she seems to be full of herself despite being in the family’s hospitality. In response, Chiaki refuses to give Touma... | | |
| 6:55am | Minami-ke Okaeri - 11 | | | | Riko tries to best Hosaka-level fantasy, but ultimately falls short. Not that Hosaka was in this ep | | |
| 5:38am | Minami-ke Okaeri Supreme Quality Attained |  | | | Fans still following Asread’s latest Minami-ke parody offering have been shocked by a new low in quality; not only is the animation in the 12th episode in dire need of attention, as usual, but the episode also presents something of a unique production issue in that the A and B parts are actually... | | |
| 7:28pm | Minami-ke: Welcome Back #12 — Wrestling on Beds | | | | Maki and Mako getting sweaty on Haruka’s sheets. Hrm hrm hrrrrrrmmmm Impressions: Overall, a pretty decent episode, but the highlights were definitely the first couple parts. There was also a very VERY noticeable spike in animation and art quality this week, although again, it trailed off quite... | | |
| 6:44am | Top Picks – Winter 2009 Anime, Part 2: Genre Awards | | | | The first part looked at the characters within the show and now this group of awards (minus one misfit) looks at the series as a whole. I used many of the same categories from the 2008 best awards but I trimmed a few because there was not enough competition. For example, the category of best slice-of-life... | | |
