| 9:00pm | Yuri Manga: Tokimeki Mononoke Gakuen, Volume 1 | | | | There's not too many series that make me shriek with outraged sensibilities and hysterical laughter at the same time, and even less that are also very good.

| 6:25pm | Opening Vids List - Summer 2008 |  | | | THAT is back with another season Op’s post, but this time things are a bit different. To allow all the team to comment on the posts, we’ve dropped the rankings and we are checking each opening individually (this also avoids the issues of internal competition inside THAT.

| 6:58am | Review: Kaiba (90%) |  | | | Facing it In the end, no words were necessary to bring this thoughtful, emotionally resonant work of art to a close.
