| 6:31am | Comiket-Day 3 (Happy New Year!) | | | | Ummm..porn? That pretty much the summary of what the third day is. For those who are unaware, the third day is the most busiest day of the three days. The raging opressed hormones of thousands of otakus running left and right to get their favorite doujinshi drives this crazy day. As more me, I decided... | | |
| 6:10am | Blogging Tricks Revealed | | | | Just thought I would post some random musings on improving my anime blogging readership. 1. If your blog is on Otaku.fm, please do remember to use a full address for your title image the site pulls. Even though I’ve been on it for a few weeks, I only realized yesterday why some of my title images... | | |
| 3:09pm | Happy 2008! Updates, mission statement and related stuffs | | | | First off, a Happy New Year to you all and best wishes for the twelve months ahead. For reasons I won’t bore you with, 2007 kinda sucked for me so I’ll greet the Hatsuhinode (I hope to hell I spelt that right) with something that lies between cheery optimism and “I hope that shit won’t... | | |
| 5:17am | An introduction to the new Noitamina series: 'Hakaba Kitaro' (墓場鬼太郎) | | | | Hakaba Kitaro is not only the successor to Moyashimon in the Noitamina timeslot, it is also my most anticipated series in the January 2008 line-up. Anyway, here is my translation of the plot summary from the official site:It is the 30s of the Showa Era and it has been 10 years since the Second World... | | |
| 4:38am | Moyashimon 1-5: First Impressions |  | | | One more review for the year, shall we? I decided to see what all the fuss was about from all the other bloggers about this delightfully weird combination of comedy, agricultural science, and a little-explored setting for anime: the agricultural college! Many have spoken of how educational Moyashimon... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 6 - Music & Voice Acting | | | | Up to this point the awards have mostly been silly and nonsensical. The final two days of our award show, however, will be a little different. We’re putting aside the random awards in favor of a few more traditional categories. Today we’ll be talking about the best the year had to offer... | | |
| 10:30pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 5 - Action | | | | There was a time when the genre “Action” didn’t have the connotation of mindless protagonists, clichéd “take over the world” plots, and gratuitous vehicle explosions in every other scene. Then a very silly man named Michael Bay came along, and well…the rest is history.... | | |
| 4:22pm | Dreams of the Year Behind :: 2007 | | | | And just when we believed 2006 was some sort of awesome the dawn of 2007. Alright, that’s probably not totally true. With the end of 2007 drawing near, it is time for year-end reflections. Yes, it is that time when bloggers confront their senses and memories with “best-of” questions.... | | |
| 5:47am | This is not a Top 10 |  | | | Spurred undoubtedly by the unexpected popularity of Ani-nouto among the faithful, I undertook the most comprehensive attempt to keep up with the season yet. The result was the same, however: only one series reached the finish. The rising attrition is another illustration to my bandwidth issues. Firstly,... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 2 - Slice-of-Life | | | | The award ceremony marches onward, now with more silly categories and some slice-of-life awards!.. Sometimes you just need a good pick me up. Of course, personally I usually turn to caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol. When it comes to anime, however, there are time when you really just need something... | | |
| 4:56pm | December Summary | | | | If you’re wondering why the rankings for this month are a bit earlier than usual: well, I wanted to have a bit more time to work on my end-of-the-year-list, with the most memorable and un-memorable series of the past year. It’s going to get a bit bigger than last year’s, which to be honest was... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 1 - The Cream of the Crap | | | | Wai~! Wai~! Another year has come and gone, and with it a number of excellent and entertaining shows. It brought moments that made us roll with laughter, moments that made us shed manly tears, moments that made us smile and nod, moments that healed our spirits, and moments that made us thrust our hands... | | |
| 12:13pm | Christmas: a greeting of both explicit enjoyment and shared suffering | | | | (Totali,)As much as I want to talk about anime, it is quite unfortunate that the series I have had been following religiously were not yet updated recently. The latest installment of Kimikiss ~ pure rouge has not yet been subbed. Moyashimon has had not been updated for quite some time, and it is sad,... | | |
| 11:46pm | 2007 in 12 day 10: Moyashimon | | | | I have a soft spot for student-based comedy drama, not to mention a vested interest in all things scientific. The whimsical win that is Moyashimon is right up my street in pretty much every respect; taking the bizarre premise of a guy who can see microbes without the aid of microscopes or magnifying... | | |
