| 8:46pm | Must-Read: Introduction and Scientific Notes to Moyashimon! | | | | I can’t believe there’s an anime so related to my major! I’m not exactly doing agricultural sciences, but rather Food Science and Technology, of which microbiology and nutrition are large components of, so this show interests me even more than mecha. Rather than the usual anime which... | | |
| 7:26pm | Snapshots: Moyashimon |  | | | You're not alone if you've been thinking this season has a lack of original shows, but now there's a remedy: Moyashimon (もやしもん Tales of Agriculture) just started airing in the Noitamina slot on Fuji TV, Thursdays at 24:45, where it will run for 11 episodes. | | |
| 11:01am | Moyashimon - 01 |  | | | OP: “Curriculum (カリキュラム)” by Sarasa Ifu - Wow, can you say awesome? The OP is actually done with 3D cgi, putting the bacteria in a live setting. The song itself is very easy on the ears, and I’ve already taken a liking to it. | | |
| 8:06am | Mononoke - 12 | | | | I’m not sure what roastedpekingduck meant when he said that the creators ran out of budget for this episode. Sure, the build-up wasn’t as good as the first Bake Neko, but this episode provided a satisfying if not a bit predictable ending. It’s not the best episode of this series,... | | |
| 5:28am | Some quick first impressions: Hero Tales, Maple Story and Moyashimon | | | | Hero Tales Oh god so much wasted potential. I actually liked some parts of the episode: the setting is developed well enough, there’s a fair amount of interesting characters, the tone of the series is quite dark and the storytelling was quite decent. And then it had to ruin everything at the... | | |
| 8:22pm | Moyashimon - 1 | | | | Any show with an opening that features CG bacteria dancing around laboratories in time with the music deserves SOME recognition. The latest show to run in the Noitamina block on Fuji TV is another slightly quirky college-based show - this time, we’re off to agricultural college to follow the... | | |
| 7:05am | Geez, over reacting much? |  | | | From Anime Corporation News, who got this one from ANN Japan’s Agriculture Ministry ‘is not in charge of Gundam’ ANN reports that six of Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries employees were caught and reprimanded for updating Gundam articles on Wikipedia. Ministry... | | |
| 5:38pm | Fall Season -- 19 First Impressions | | | | Of course, it's ridiculous to judge a season after one week. Especially for me, since I usually like almost everything at first. But here are some first impressions.After the first episode, one show is clearly the best, for me: Blue Drop. It has real characters and emotions and an intriguing story combining... | | |
| 9:15pm | Kawaii JenNy! | | | | Ah, October. Another new season, another batch of new shows set to ignite the passions of fanboyism in a thousand sweaty otaku, another fresh helping of slashbait to set the exclamation mark keys on the computers of countless fen a-mashing. Personally, I think this season looks a bit pants compared... | | |

Here is the lineup for the week (including shows that start later in the season). For more information, see full schedule with staff/cast highlights, and/or detailed previews.Monday- Chocomimi- D.C.

| 7:40pm | 42 New Fall Anime -- Cast, Staff, Story, Pic | | | | Here are just about all the series and OVAs scheduled to start this fall, according to the Japanese site MoonPhase -- 35 series and seven OVAs. I've tried to give a story intro, show a pic, and talk about the staff and cast of each one. Click images to enlarge.Nothing seems like an instant classic, but... | | |
