| 6:06pm | Some More Kneejerk Reactions | | | | These are the last few first episodes I’m probably going to watch - I’ve decided to just completely avoid Kurogane no Linebarrel as I’ll just “watch” it through DigiKerot’s comic strips instead. Nice ED, though. (except Vampire Knight Guilty, which I keep forgetting... | | |
| 1:38am | Too Many Good Anime | | | | There are just too many good anime this season.Here's my own watch-list of raws:Monday: Vampire Knight - Guilty, ef - a tale of melodies. (2)Tuesday: Kurozuka, Hakushaku to Yousei, Mouryou no Hako. (3)Wednesday: Toradora, Hyakko, Bounen no Xamdo. (3)Thursday: Chaos;Head, Tytania, Nodame Cantabile Paris,... | | |
| 10:26am | Cashern Sins - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: Casshern meets a girl who loves fighting. Highlights: Subtle emotions rock. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 (Awesome) You know, back when that first episode ended I remember noting how Casshern Sins was too one-sided and how Casshern was too angsty, but I’m right at the point... | | |
| 12:27pm | Anime With Strong, Adult Female Leads | | | | Yesterday I threw out the idea of mentioning a few completely non-Yuri anime that feature adult females here, for people who want to watch anime that do not revolve around fetuses in frilly dresses. I was specifically thinking of a few series I am watching or have watched recently that star women who... | | |
| 8:06am | Mouryou no Hako - 03 | | | | Short Synopsis: Yoriko calms down a bit and contacts the detective again. Highlights: Too many to just list here. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (excellent) With this episode I’m convinced: Mouryou no Hako is going to be THE hit of the Autumn 2008-season. It’s already a very good season,... | | |
| 6:22am | Fall Anime Impressions – Michiko to Hatchin | | | | I’m pretty sure these two fall anime impressions will be the last two that I will do because I think that I’ve pretty much exhausted my choices (excepting sequels to shows that I haven’t seen yet). If you remember, I was looking forward to this show because it was coming from Manglobe, who was... | | |
| 8:40pm | Kurozuka -- Give It a Try | | | | I'm not much for violent anime, but the sleeper hit of the season for me is the unheralded Madhouse show Kurozuka. Even if you aren't into bloodbaths, this show just grabs your attention and runs with it. Give it a try.I'm not sure what genre this might fit into. Maybe it's a genre of its own: vampire... | | |
| 3:15pm | Mouryou no Hako, Episode #02 - The Tanuki’s Trick |  | | | The tanuki’s magic at work. What a gem! It’s fortunate that I’ve been immersed in literature driven by time-divergent narratives lately, because as exquisite as Mouryou no Hako’s animation is, its narrative is the centerpiece and demands a nimble eye. It is based, after all,... | | |
| 1:36pm | New Anime Season Autumn 2008: Mouryou no Hako | | | | There's a lot of Yuri-service this year in anime. A girl and a female-shaped death god randomly kissing in Jigoku Shoujo, or two girls rolling on bedding together in Kannagi. Most of Yuri fandom is satisfied with that. They don't really care if a series is about two girls in love with one another - they... | | |
| 7:42am | First Look Fair: Mouryou no Hako |  | | | It's my head in a box Headcases, literally, in postwar Japan? Quite possibly this season’s most original show, with gorgeous animation and atmosphere to match. Just don’t be thrown by the lushness of episode 1. Dance with me / I want to be your partner Those of you who follow our Twitter... | | |

| 7:34am | Mouryou no Hakou - 01 “The Five Decays of a Heavenly Being” | | | | Synopsis: A girl named Yoriko befriends a girl who might have the secret to defying the laws of natural decay. The episode begins with a man with glasses who fell asleep on the train. He is returning home after the death of his grandmother. When he awoke, he finds a man carrying an ornate box... | | |
| 9:15pm | Autumn ‘08 impressions: week 2 | | | | Another week and the last of my autumn anime impressions. Right now, it feels like this is an exciting time to be an anime fan. There is so much that’s actually worth watching at the moment that it really seems like every day I’m adding more and more to my back-log. Naturally, I’m... | | |
