| 3:29pm | Yoiko Review - 77,5/100 | | | | For this review, I want you to try something. First, visit Yoiko’s MAL page and read the description. Then, take a look at the OP: While this is also a good opportunity for me to test whether or not embedded Youtube videos work on this site, I now want you to imagine what kind of series this... | | |
| 1:40pm | 2008 Summary - Part I | | | | Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year. This time, I decided to split this entry in two halves, otherwise the list would simply become too huge. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, after Porfy no... | | |
| 4:41am | Status report | | | | That bunny looks dangerous. (Astro Fighter Sunred) These past ten days or so I’ve spent most of my spare time digitizing old vinyl.1 It’s been productive: I’ve got over ten CDs’ worth of newly-convenient music to listen to. I have a few more LPs I want to get into the computer... | | |
| 11:20pm | Washi on Allison and Lillia |  | | | The review at Wakaranai hits the right tone in general. It is a good stuff throughout, which pains me to trim (such as the bland directon), but I would like to comment on the adventure part: [] Allison and Lillia pulsates with light-hearted energy and tries diligently to capture the pure spirit of adventure.... | | |
| 8:07pm | Kurozuka - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: Kurou remembers what happened to Kuromitsu, and the story takes an interesting turn. Highlights: Matrix, anyone? Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 I remember that during the winter-season, I was very annoyed with Madhouse for some strange reason. If I recall correctly, then apart from... | | |
| 7:59pm | Natsume Yuujinchou | | | | I picked up Natsume Yuujinchou a bit late in this season, but surely don’t regret to have finally done so. Since Mokke I found a liking in series which deal with supernatural-sensitive people who try to live a fairly normal life nonetheless. I liked Mokke a bit more because it’s spirits had... | | |
| 10:35am | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 10 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume gets visited (read: possessed) by a youkai who used to play a traditional Japanese instrument called the “koto”. Highlights: Yet another great character-study, and the gender-bending was hilarious too. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Like I mentioned before: the... | | |
| 6:26pm | Battle of the Backlog: summer 2008 edition | | | | So far I’ve found only two new shows for the summer season that have really caught my attention and even then one of them, Eve no Jikan, isn’t following a weekly schedule. I quickly realised how I need to really pull my finger out in sifting through the newest offerings before they’re... | | |

| 1:38am | Saimoe 2008 - My Picks | | | | The prelims are over and it’s time for me to choose my favorite contenders for each block. These are just my completely biased picks for each block, you probably won’t see another Saimoe post until each block as 2 characters battling against each other. List stolen from Certifiably Insane.... | | |
| 8:55pm | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 06 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume meets a female Youkai, who longs to see a person from her past again. Highlights: The female youkai and her character-development in just one episode. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Natsume Yuujin-chou isn’t exactly my favourite show to blog. Don’t get me wrong,... | | |
| 6:22am | Whirlwind |  | | | I sure burn through them quickly. On the heels of the Shuffle disaster come Kirameki Project and Mokke. I really don’t want to say anything bad about Mokke, it’s just unsophisticated, primitive a bit. Kirameki though It’s one of those shows where creators think that anime watchers... | | |
| 10:53pm | Beginning of Summer Season '08 | | | | well actually, mid-way; on one hand, I was waiting for subs to come out first and on the other, my hands were full these last two months but as the saying goes: "better late then never"! I must express my surprise that the summer season has a significant number of shows that I follow, especially in... | | |
