| 6:29pm | Hakaba Kitaro op | | | | Haven't seen much interesting anime lately, but I was looking forward to the new late-night show Hakaba Kitaro in the same Noitamina time-slot as Mononoke to see if they might be able to finally do Shigeru Mizuki justice. I've seen a few of the previous anime adaptations of his work, and perhaps I'm... | | |
| 9:15am | Hakaba Kitarou - 02 | | | | And with Hakaba Kitarou, my schedule for the winter-season is complete. Seriously, this season has proven to be awesome. Monday: Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino, Gundam 00 Tuesday: Suteki Tantei Labyrinth Wednesday: Wellber no Monogatari Thursday: none Friday: Hakaba Kitarou, Ghost Hound Saturday: Saiunkoku... | | |
| 1:40am | Finals Week | | | | I know, where have I been? I’ve actually been right here the entire time, I’m (for quite possibly the first time) swamped with so much work that I just can’t cramp any time into my schedule for anime. Speaking of cramming, I need to seriously start studying for my APs, because my attention... | | |
| 3:46pm | Snapshots: Hakaba Kitarou |  | | | Do you miss Mononoke? Here's a new horror anime to fulfill your needs, as Hakaba Kitarou (墓場鬼太郎) enters the stage, airing 11 episodes in the Noitamina block on Fuji TV, Thursdays at 24:45 JST. | | |
| 1:53pm | The power and hair of anime characters | | | | An interesting idea appeared during a recent discussion of Mononoke here - namely, that when some anime characters going on power mode, their hair may also magically grows longer. Think the Medicine Seller in Mononoke (though I am sure there are countless other examples out there). I have always said... | | |
| 6:52pm | 2007 Sort-of Year In Review | | | | edit: you need to be viewing just the post itself to get at the pages, apparently. How bizarre! So that would be here, then. For most of this year it seems I’ve always had something else to do rather than watch anime. It figures, then, that on New Year’s Eve I can’t think of anything... | | |
| 5:23pm | This anime fan forever looks back on 2007 | | | | Jesus, it’s the end of another year. I’ve had fun in 2007; being a part of the anime blogging community and writing for you, dear reader. I’m not sure I’d last long if it wasn’t for your comments, but here we are, almost two years on and still talking, ranting, in love with anime. Back during... | | |
| 3:53am | Michael’s 2007 Diet Awards, Part 1: The Winners |  | | | Yes, it’s time to do the year-end award list, like everyone always does! I did one last year, barely two weeks into the founding of this site’s predecessor, Scattered Cels, and I’m going to be using most of the same categories–as well a couple of new ones. And, in tomorrow’s... | | |
| 10:40pm | c73 day one | | | | I set my alarm to go off at 6 in the morning so that I could leave right at about dawn to line up for day 2 (no homo), but despite my mind saying yes, my legs said “no fuck you sit right back down and don’t you dare use me, write a blog post or something.” So! Yesterday was the first... | | |
| 9:55pm | My Top Ten Anime of 2007 (I Can't Help Myself) | | | | Especially because my list will be so different from most others, I just can't stop myself from posting it. Some of these shows have clear faults, but their strengths more than counterbalance their faults, in my opinion. Happy New Year!1 Byousoku 5cm2 ef3 Blue Drop4 Lucky Star5 Touka Gettan6 Emily of... | | |
| 3:03am | Wishlist for 2008 | | | | Gankutsuou-like art direction in Amatsuki Since Amatsuki is set in a computer-generated recreation of Edo Japan (albeit with some supernatural stuff), I hope they may as well make it sassy and borrow a leaf from Gankutsuou's art direction. The manga covers themselves are full of bright, vibrant colours.... | | |
| 1:10am | 2-in-1 INSTANT REVIEW: Project A-Ko (1986), Mononoke (2007) | | | | seriously, one day I’ll stop writing about things that awo hasn’t talked about that aren’t bartender but Project A-Ko: excellently animated popcorn action/comedy that exudes 80s with tits and missiles and explosions and shit for less than what a movie ticket costs, you should probably... | | |
| 9:30am | Moyashimon = Sake, Sake, Sake! | | | | You know, I’m growing to enjoy this show more and more as the emphasis towards alcohol continues. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but it’s certainly managed to increase my interest in this very unique series. Episode 5’s Microbe Theatre was just exceptionally... | | |
| 4:26pm | Interview: Vong Yonghow, Digital Lighting Artist of Freedom Project | | | | Vong Yonghow After the recent screening of Freedom Project, I managed to get Vong Yonghow’s attention and despite his busy schedule, he was able to accept an interview. Vong Yonghow is one of our very own Singaporean who’s in Japan now currently working on Freedom Project. For more information... | | |
