| 7:46am | Anime Blog Awards - the write-in edition | | | | This Impz guy told me to nominate some people for some awards, and then only like one of the blogs I nominated only made it in! In protest, here’s some stuff you should read that you can’t vote for. Most of these people update more than we do! Anipages Daily writes mini-essays about art,... | | |
| 12:36pm | News of Nakamura Kenji (director of 'Mononoke' and 'Bakeneko') | | | | 1) I was wondering what he has been doing since Mononoke ended last summer. Apparently he is re-editing an old series of Toei Animation entitled Mushrambo dated 2000. ttp://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/m ashura/ With all due respect, it looks to me that Mushrambo (at least from what I see of the commercial... | | |
| 4:54am | Kaiba #3 | | | | This episode surprised me a little bit at first, but won me over in the end. This is an exceptionally well crafted episode that stands up to repeated viewing thanks to the tight directing of exactly the person I spoke of in my previous post - Akitoshi Yokoyama, who is this time credited as co-writer... | | |

I mean it honestly. Director Yamazaki Osamu continues to do good work following Toward the Terra. Soul Eater Great art direction. Though the story just does not grab my attention. Judging from Ouran High School Host Club, Director... | | |

| 5:40am | Flying Phantom Ship/Sora tobu yureisen (1969) | | | | Having decided to organize my movie and anime collection I stumbled upon a few “old but classic” anime films, so today I’ll review Flying Phantom Ship/Sora Tobu yureisen aka Flying Treasure Ship. This film was released in Japan on May 5, 1969 by Toei Animation, and... | | |
| 8:36pm | Yukana -- Great Voice, Strong Pheromones | | | | Yukana is both an outstanding seiyuu and a controversial personality. Her voice has great range, from Cure White in Precure Max Heart to Dominura in Simoun, and from Mashiro in Mai-Otome to C.C. in Code Geass. Recently, she seems to be centring on roles that are like her: strong, sexy, and mature.She... | | |
| 5:04pm | Interview with TOKYOPOP Editor Hope Donovan | | | | In 2005, when Shoujocon and Yuricon teamed up to run Onna!, the focus of the event was women in the comics and animation industries. We wanted attendees to meet these women and see what kind of advice they could impart about breaking into and making a life in these notoriously competitve (and male-dominated)... | | |
| 12:26pm | Hakaba Kitarou Review - 88/100 | | | | The original Hakaba Kitarou (later renamed to Gegege no Kitarou) was one of the original pioneers in anime and manga, even before the legacy of Osamu Tezuka. Ever since it was serialized in 1959, it’s spawned five lengthy television-series, eight movies and one live-action movie. The problem... | | |
| 1:12pm | Upcoming Russian animation: 'Fedot the Shooter' | | | | So I learned about this upcoming Russian animation called Fedot the Shooter from Twitch. The details of the interior somehow remind me of Mononoke, though I can't say that I am overall sold on this from what I see from the trailer above yet. It just does not seem to have the alchemical magic you... | | |

| 6:41pm | Gundam 00 - 21 | | | | Really, this series is getting more interesting with every episode now. With only just one test-battle, the new units have managed to damage one Gundam, which means that the defeat of the Gundams will be just a matter of time. If I had to guess, then the creators are indeed planning to make episode... | | |
| 3:07am | Quick Review - Mononoke | | | | I liked Black Sheep’s translation of Mononoke better, but the files were so big that my poor laptop really had to struggle (it’s not that old) and the video would lag sometimes (of course having Azureus open as well probably didn’t help). Just a warning. Music I wasn’t sure... | | |
