| 5:57pm | Full Summer Anime Preview -- staff, cast, trailers, pics, stories | | | | For me, the best way to guess how good a coming anime will be, is by looking at its staff: the director and writers and animation director and sound director, and so on. People who have made good shows before tend to make good shows again.I sometimes start watching a show for its voice actors, but I... | | |

| 3:39pm | Quickie: The Tales of a ‘Tales of the Abyss’ Anime | | | | Word comes from 2NN that the Tales of the Abyss game is being developed into an anime. But the details are somewhat mysterious; Moon Phase notes that it’s unclear whether it’ll be an OVA (like Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia) or a TV anime (like Tales of Eternia). No studio has... | | |
| 12:32pm | To other worlds with Yoshitoshi Abe | | | | Yoshitoshi Abe is one of my favorite Japanese illustrators. He is famous for his work in Serial Experiments Lain, NieA_7, Haibane Renmei and Texhnolyze. One thing that I like about his art is the degree of realism in it. Compared with most anime/manga art which are simplistic in portrayal, Yoshitoshi... | | |
| 6:57pm | Manly is Overrated |  | | | One of the trends that I’ve noticed in my anime watching to-date is how a lot of the recent shows have male characters who aren’t afraid of expressing their more feminine side. Even the skilled warrior Thobari-sensei of Nabari no Ou isn’t afraid to show off his shoujo sparkles every... | | |
| 12:41am | Homohiochi are my Enemy! |  | | | Just started watching Moyashimon, based on hearing some good things about it when it first aired and wanting to watch a more laid back show. There’s not as much zany, spastic humor as I thought there would be, but it’s still very enjoyable to watch. The SD expressions are just gold. I’m... | | |
| 7:01pm | Mainichi Catchup: ‘Tis the Season for Awards | | | | No, seriously, look: first, there were those Mangaka Association awards I posted about before. Then - The 32nd Kodansha Manga Awards, with Moyashimon taking the top prize (best general manga), among other familiar names (Shugo Chara! Woot!) - The 12th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, with ¥2... | | |
| 5:16am | Fap first and think later | | | | This is an addition to an entry I had posted somewhere else on Saturday, May 03, 2008 with the title “Odd Feelings”. I apologize if this entry is a little more sober, serious and mature than what I normally seem to write. I honestly was unsure if this entry was more anime or more personal... | | |
| 8:08pm | Moyashimon 13 - An excuse to talk about traps more | | | | HOT I CAME Watching this show definitely came at a weird time because of my new awakened love for traps. I had no idea there was a trap in this show. Definitely not enough focus on trap Kei. Also, for someone that was just kissed by his best friend Tadayasu sure took that calmly. Also, I think that... | | |
| 12:42am | Moyashimon - They’re everywhere | | | | I honestly think not enough people have checked into this show. Moyashimon is definitely one show that isn’t something I would normally watch but decided to give it a try on a whim and somewhat enjoyed it. I just got back into it and I watched episodes 3 to 5 and I’d say that it’s... | | |
| 11:53am | Anime Megablog backlog: Aria, Bamboo Blade, Bamboo Blade, Genshiken, Gundam 00, Kaiji, Koharu Biyori, Minami-ke, Mokke, Moyashimon, Prism Ark, Shugo Chara, Sketchbook ~full Color’S~…and lots more! | | | | I came across the Mukoh Hadan - Sword of the Stranger Trailer recently. I’ve read some positive reviews (Star Crossed Anime Blog/Atarashii Prelude) and since I love historical violence, I think I’ll check it out.Yaoi manga has come to life? Yaoi fan girls can get excited about seeing their... | | |
| 5:43am | Spring 2008 Anime Season: Preliminary Viewing Awards, Part TWO | | | | Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz Hey, DTZ. Wake up. Zzzzzz- Buh- HEY. WAKE UP. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! GEEZ. Microscopic thing, RIGHT in my face. Wake up. We gotta do the awards show. But we already did it. We’ve already watched more series, and fans are requesting more reactions. You... | | |
| 5:23pm | Clannad: the Ryou, Kyou and Tomoyo arc | | | | Sometimes I wonder at the scheduling decisions that lead to oddly numbered series runs - take Moyashimon’s bizarre episode count of eleven for instance. The reason why I’m interested is, like in the case of Moyashimon, Clannad could have done with another episode or two that would eventually... | | |
| 5:24am | Moyashimon Microbes Are Deadly Cute | | | | Oryzae, ganbareeee!! Useless fact of the day: Moyashimon microbes are moe-inducingly deadly, especially with their cute squiggly voices _> Even non-Moyashimon fans can wholeheartedly enjoy this mini special, as can be attested by some of my officemates who now adores Oryzae~ xDD | | |
