| 5:31am | Natsume Yuujinchou | | | | Title: Natsume Yuujinchou (夏目友人帳) Scrumptious Meter: 4.5 (next best thing to slice bread~with a little extra sugar and spice on top) Length: 13 episodes Since xxxHOLiC and Mononoke, I have developed an interest towards anime that deals with traditional Japanese folklore, particularly those... | | |
| 5:21am | Recent stuff | | | | Speaking of Patrick Bokanowski in my last post, by sheer coincidence I just noticed that the great Aurora festival in Norwich, UK, which will be running a mere month from now from November 12 to 16, has a retrospective of the work of Bokanowski lined up on its program. I sure wish I could go. It would... | | |
| 6:06am | Privileges: the NYAF Wrapup Post, Part 1 |  | | | Rie's signature--one of many fruits of this con I attended the New York Anime Festival as a deeply privileged man: the holder of both press and, courtesy of my website partner Ray, VIP passes. I was also deeply privileged to meet so many of you, my colleagues on the East Coast in anime blogging,... | | |
| 7:05pm | NYAF08: FUNimation | | | | Okay, I’m now sitting in on the FUNimation panel, hosted by Adam Sheehan. So far it’s pretty much the same stuff we’ve heard at the last few panels, but we’re not yet through the panel! Apparently they’ll be putting some show that we’ll “probably be really happy... | | |
| 6:43pm | NYAF: Funimation Panel Liveblog | | | | 2:42 PM: still gathering. I see fellow bloggers sitting across from me, they are liveblogging too. I wonder who they are? The camera is all set up and ready. 2:45 PM: a Darker than Black preview trailer is playing now. 2:46 PM: Adam Sheehan starts speaking. Commends fans for “honesty” (ie,... | | |
| 7:00am | quickie video links | | | | Hulu has added anime including dubbed Mushishi. Little Busters Ecstasy OP are we going to get Little Busters before or after Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya? Interesting YouTube clip of Wario. Japan gets a new Alice Prime Minster, some Code Geass with a side of gar, the final Gurren Lagann Parallel... | | |
| 4:19am | Hulu has a new anime channel! | | | | Hulu.com, that brilliant online video site partnership between NBC and FOX, has added an anime channel today. They’ve added 20 English-subtitled episodes of Naruto, all 37 English-subtitled episodes of Death Note, and 12 English-dubbed episodes of Mushi-Shi. As I wrote in 4 places to watch anime... | | |
| 2:26pm | oh look, hulu has some anime now |  | | | Right now, it’s just Death Note, 12 episodes of Mushishi, and 20 episodes of Naruto. ANN says that they’ll get more later. I clicked on the first episode of Death Note, and lo and behold it did have subs, which I thought was interesting seeing how it wasn’t dubbed on Cartoon Network.... | | |
| 8:14pm | Why Do You Like Anime? (As Well as Why I Like Anime Part 1) | | | | Funeral should appreciate thisSomeone offhandedly remarked about reading the Kara no Kyoukai novel and when somone was explaining the reason someone else was doing whatever, they “half-expected Ginko to walk up and explain what Mushi was causing it.” Reading that it suddenly occured to me... | | |
| 10:55pm | Natsume Yuujinchou 3-6: when Mushishi-lite is a good thing | | | | Comparisons can be as misleading as they are helpful. I sometimes fall back on them because they sound succinct and are easy to write when I’m feeling lazy but can be counter-productive when comparing the likes of Natsume Yuujinchou to Mushishi. You have a restful and picturesque rural Japanese... | | |
| 5:14am | Natsume Yuujinchou 8: unequally yoked | | | | So close yet so far away The title of the post is from a biblical reference where christians are warned not to marry non-christians, based on the assumption that two unlike beings cannot possibly find a good ending together. Strangely enough though, a book supposedly about the highest form of love... | | |
| 6:26pm | Battle of the Backlog: summer 2008 edition | | | | So far I’ve found only two new shows for the summer season that have really caught my attention and even then one of them, Eve no Jikan, isn’t following a weekly schedule. I quickly realised how I need to really pull my finger out in sifting through the newest offerings before they’re... | | |
| 5:42am | T.H.A.T Fall 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | You know that this will be a great season when I do not even know whether I will be blogging EF. Since poor Calawain wrote the previous summer season, it might seem reasonable that he has the invaluable experience to continue on this feature of T.H.A.T. Nonetheless, to relieve him of his pain and his... | | |

| 5:11am | What is Anime? (the written definition) |  | | | When I first created AnimeYume.com over five years ago, one of the original pages on the site was a page introducing anime, why it’s popular, and how it’s different from American cartoons. Recently I’ve been looking over that page and I noticed that my writing skills back then were... | | |
