| 2:06am | Saigar Update: Group G Round 3 |  | | | Medicine Seller of Mononoke (344) beats Lelouch Lamperouge of Code Geass (173). Yay, Lelouch actually lost. I don’t care how popular Code Geass is, it takes a long stretch of the imagination to call Lelouch GAR at all. Like longcat long stretch. Much rather have the guy I’ve never heard... | | |

| 2:03pm | Arusu the Adventure - 03 | | | | Ah, now I understand. Just like Mahou Shoujotai, the episodes of Arusu the Adventure are directed by different people. Now everything makes sense: the major difference between Mahou Shoujotai and Arusu the Adventure is that there seems to be hardly any communication or cooperation between them. The... | | |
| 3:58pm | Hakaba Kitarou - 07 | | | | I must say, this series is a master of surprises and twists. It really feels refreshing from the usual anime. If you’re looking for something different then Hakaba Kitarou is definitely recommended, because there are very few series that combine mystery and horror with comedy. :P I originally... | | |
| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |
| 2:56am | Saigar: Group G Round 2 |  | | | Medicine Seller of Mononoke (206) somehow beats Shibuya Kazuya of Ghost Hunt (51) and Afro Samurai of Afro Samurai (108). Admittedly not that tough competition, but I didn’t think that many people watched Mononoke. Hell, I’m not even sure what Mononoke is. Lelouche Lamperouge of Code Geass... | | |

| 1:01pm | A follow-up note on Episode 5 of 'Hakaba Kitaro' | | | | In case anyone missed my previous post on Episode 5 of Hakaba Kitaro because of the spoiler warning - I just learned that the animation director for that episode would seem to be none other than Hashimoto Takashi (橋本タカシ), who was also the character designer of the Bakeneko story arc in Ayakashi,... | | |

| 1:52pm | Boom, Bust and the Golden Age of Anime | | | | Taking note of the fact that our blogospherants had yet to handle the pressing issue of the day - that of the seeming crash of the modern anime market - I of course have to take it up myself. Being quite a paranoiac topic, however, the majority of commentators are just stabbing at shadows; and often... | | |
| 7:42pm | Everything, and I mean everything… | | | | Warning: Long Post Ahead Behold! My long awaited return to blogging! I kid. Anyway I finally got around to watching Mononoke, which, I have to say was an exceptionally brilliant piece of art, not just anime, but art. When you have a show like Mononoke floating in the same patch of ocean as ef, the contrast... | | |
