| 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... | | |
| 6:40pm | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 19 | | | | Short Synopsis: Haru tries to take care of the source of the noise. Highlights: If the metal wasn’t already deep enough, it just gained some more depth. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Okay, what just happened back there? The metal has always been a mysterious existence, but it’s this episode... | | |
| 6:04pm | Otakon08: FUNimation | | | | Liveblogging by phone once again! Adam Sheehan is up front and Johnathan”Caveman” Brands preside. I think there’ll be no major announcements from the sound of it, but we’ll move along anyway. Opening mostly with Sheehan’s usual take on the industry at the moment (i.e. the... | | |
| 8:47pm | Thoughts & OSTs | | | | I have been slacking from writing posts lately, but that’s because I’m preparing for a retreat (where I’m supposed to be a counselor), and packing for my trip back to college. This post will have to last for about a week, which seems only to be a little while, yes, but then again,... | | |
| 9:46pm | What I had to watch this week |  | | | In an attempt to harmonize wildly disparate tastes, we watched Mushishi in dub. Most boring anime ever. [With apologies to J.P. Meyer.] | | |
| 4:20pm | Being Ginko Part 2: Kibako | | | | Ah, another step into darkness. Continuing with my Ginko costume from Mushishi, the biggest and most challenging element of getting the Ginko costume together is the wooden box or kibako. I had a couple of preliminary ideas of using alternative materials instead of wood. This was based on the idea of... | | |
| 4:53pm | Natsume Yuujinchou episodes 1 and 2 | | | | I thought that this would be one of the better shows in this season that’s, well, lacking in shows that I’m interested in. A book with powers? Demons? A main character that, from the promotional images, looks really good? Great! Then I saw the first 2 episodesand realized that this is a... | | |
| 8:34am | Haibane Renmei Review: To Err and to Forgive (91%) |  | | | The fellowship of the wing How could I have sat on this sublime theological parable for so long? I had long heard about not only the artistic brilliance of Yoshitoshi ABe’s creation–something I certainly would believe given that his Serial Experiments: Lain is one of my favorites as well–but... | | |
| 1:23pm | Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode 2 - “I have come.” |  | | | So. Incredibly. CUTE! But don’t be fooled. When I said I was hoping that the next episode of Natsume would be better than the first in my last entry, I was being optimistic. What I had really hoped for is that episode two would be just as good as the first one, that it wouldn’t be a disappointment... | | |
| 5:31am | Natsume Yuujin Chou, Episode 1 - The Fat Cat And The Book Of Enemies | | | | What Is It With Me And Youkai Anime? Every once in a blue moon, I’ll stumble across an anime that captures that fleeting mixture of wonder and lightness that you get when you gaze into the open sky from the top floor of a building, or listen to the silence of falling snow, or feel the caress of a... | | |
| 3:48pm | Being Ginko Part 1: The Eye | | | | So I’ve decided to cosplay for the first time in my life! As I constantly shake my head in disbelief while I write this article, I will try to document my process of making the costume while preparing for this year Comic-con 2008. The character that I will dress up as will be Ginko from Mushishi.... | | |
| 4:43pm | AX 2008 Day 2: My Real First Day at the Con | | | | Since I barely did anything at the convention itself on Thursday (Day 1) due to the long drive down to LA and the problems figuring out parking/rooms, Friday was my real first day at the convention with visits to the exhibit hall and panel sessions. I’m not going to rehash all the news that has... | | |

| 3:08pm | From YouTube to FUNTube | | | | Well, that’s one way to start my Anime Expo travel-day morning: FUNimation sent out a press release announcing that they’ve finagled a deal with YouTube. They’ve established a FUNimation Channel on the video-sharing site (actually, it was created back in September ‘06). According... | | |
