| 10:21pm | Moyashimon Review - 85/100 | | | | There are more than enough anime-series with high-school antics. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about university-antics series. I could be mistaken, but 2007 only featured two of them: Nodame Cantabile, which aired earlier this year, and Moyashimon. Incidentally, both were noitaminA-series.... | | |
| 10:26pm | January 2008 Anime Previews -- cast, staff, pic, links | | | | The new season is coming up fast. The first new show, Ayakashi, has already begun, and the season gets fully under way exactly two weeks from today. As with most winter seasons, there are not a huge number of new shows. The Spring and Fall 2007 seasons had almost 40 new shows each. This winter season... | | |
| 7:54am | Moyashimon = Noto Makimo FTW | | | | The last major cast member of Moyashimon is introduced in episode 6, and a hot one at that! Voiced by Noto Mamiko to boot! This show just keeps getting better and better. (Yes yes, I’m well aware of what happens in episode 8. I have to keep the spoilers to a minimum, however, since Guff has to... | | |
| 6:30am | Top Ten Things I Want as Plushies | | | | In celebration of the true Christmas spirit (i.e. mindless consumerism), I was pondering what manner of gifts I could ask Santa for. Unfortunately, I don’t really collect figures or other miscellaneous anime merchandise. I do, however, have something of a soft spot for cute plushies. Yeah plushies,... | | |
| 2:17pm | Kyou X Kotomi = Good, Hazuki X Aoi = Even better |  | | | Kami-sama, I humbly thank you for this double awesomeness… If you’re following Clannad, most of you would have notice the famous Kyou & Kotomi scene where Kyou is hugging an embarrass Kotomi. God knows how my inner yuri fanboy started giving me weird visions that wouldn’t be out of place... | | |
| 10:43am | A Midseason Night's Dream | | | | As we rapidly approach the midpoint of the Fall season (which also marks the end of the half-season shows), a fair amount has happened. Opinions on series have changed as people have finally gotten the chance to watch them, some over-hyped series did not perform nearly as well as expected, and some... | | |
| 6:00am | Moyashimon = Noto Mamiko FTW | | | | The last major cast member of Moyashimon is introduced in episode 6, and a hot one at that! Voiced by Noto Mamiko to boot! This show just keeps getting better and better. (Yes yes, I’m well aware of what happens in episode 8. I have to keep the spoilers to a minimum, however, since Guff has to... | | |
| 9:30am | Moyashimon = Sake, Sake, Sake! | | | | You know, I’m growing to enjoy this show more and more as the emphasis towards alcohol continues. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but it’s certainly managed to increase my interest in this very unique series. Episode 5’s Microbe Theatre was just exceptionally... | | |
| 2:41pm | Moyashimon: the curriculum of enjoyment | | | | As much as the contrary suggests otherwise, I major in Biology. As I have written countless times before, however, I am discontented with it, but since I graduate in little more than a year (as well as slacked considerably the year before as an act of revolt against my parents), I look forward to the... | | |
| 4:56am | 2007 Year in Review: Opening, Ending and Insert Themes | | | | : Greetings and salutations, good readers. The year is winding to a close, I’m nearing the end of my undergraduate career, and it’s time to look back on a whole year of Anime. And what a year it has been. Are you going to be doing the speech long? ‘Cause I could go get snacks if I’m... | | |
| 6:00am | Moyashimon = Earthworm Dragons RAWR! | | | | Tiny microbe riding a giant face-worm?? The “WTF” factor in this show is just beyond compare. I mean, it’s worse than Ghost Hound, honestly! This scene kept me awake at night, staring at the ceiling, the image forever burned into my mind’s eye. O_O That’s a rather eerily... | | |
| 6:25am | Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of R1 |  | | | Tipped by a post at Protaku (if you think that it means “proto-otaku”, you’re wrong), I ended at ANIME.ign.com and found a 2007 Autumn review by David Smith. Seeing it was a good experience if perhaps a little unpleasant. I’m taking one for the team here, because it’s good... | | |
| 3:42am | A breath of living air | | | | Off the top of my head, I can think of 4 shows about university students, in university. This estimate is easily dwarfed by the number of series set in and/or around a high school. I know that high school was really the last time that “we were all together”, so the high school character... | | |
| 10:15pm | Attempting to Write a Holiday Shopping Guide Is Harder Than It Should Be | | | | So this year, like the past few, I’m doing some gift-giving over the internet. There are some charitable causes I usually support, such as Penny-Arcade’s Child’s Play. I also do my usual holiday gifting just to personal friends and family. It can be hard to find a good present for... | | |
