| 3:05pm | Kaiba 01-03: When the Philosophical Pieces Come Together | | | | Thanks to my recent enlightenment on Kaiba and some inspiration from the great coverage it’s getting from the blogosphere, I finally decided to hop on the Kaiba-ndwagon~ :3 Lengthy introduction ahead! Kaiba easily stood out among the Spring animes for the simplicity and uniqueness of its visuals,... | | |
| 10:58pm | Which is Better: Manga or Anime? |  | | | The Advantages of Reading Manga:Reading manga doesn’t consume as much time as watching anime. Fast readers can easily finish a manga chapter in five minutes. An average anime episode takes twenty-three minutes to cover the same material. Manga doesn’t have filler. Enjoying manga requires... | | |
| 7:36pm | A Year and a Half Later… | | | | It’s totally been more than a year and a half since I updated or even looked in this place? So what happened? Well honestly I started blogging near the end of my Anime obsession and within the last year I’ve fallen completely out of it. The last full anime series I watched were Mushishi... | | |
| 6:31pm | Porfy no Nagai Tabi - 19 | | | | Travelling-anime with random stories usually come in two categories: the saviour and the observer. The first one is by far the most common one: the protagonist arrives at a place where there’s some kind of problem, and at the end of the episode he or she has solved it. Examples of this are El... | | |
| 10:35pm | A moment of stillness: the appeal of iyashikei | | | | After being lured into anime fandom through hard-edged science fiction and edge-of-your-seat action-fests I’ve always wondered how exactly I started to gravitate towards the whimsical drama and slice-of-life drama; my DVD collection and watch lists have taken on a split personality of sorts with... | | |
| 2:04pm | Anime Review: Shigofumi |  | | | What is it about episodic anime that I like so much? Even discounting the comedies, few shows in my all time favourites can maintain a storyline for more than a few episodes at a time (in before ADHD accusations). Mushishi is one that springs to mind constantly, each episode a sublime story of human... | | |

| 9:08pm | xxxHolic - 28 | | | | And this episode is exactly why I fell in love with the first season! This episode features Watanuki and Yuuko, exploring a certain concept again, just like many episodes in the first season did. Now that I’m watching this series raw, I have even more respect to the fansubbers of this series.... | | |
| 3:57pm | Spring 2008 Impressions: 100% moe-free |  | | | Word is on the street that the non-moe faction is rejoicing this season, if only due to the fact that the number of shows with moe in them aren’t dominating for the first time in so long. I was thinking of a theme by which to group the anime in this post under while writing this, and it occurred... | | |
| 3:15pm | Detroit Metal City Will F***in Rock YOU! | | | | Come summer this year in our Dark Lord, the shit storm of Japanese metal will hail upon us all! Kiminori Wakasugi’s Detroit Metal City has just posted it’s first trailer for the live action adaptation. If you haven’t had a chance to read the manga, do so now. Thus is the command of... | | |
| 11:01am | End of Winter Season '08 | | | | This season trned out to be better then I expected. It offered the conclusion of Hayate and Bamboo Blade, Shigofumi and Ookami, which were very good, as well as, the second part of Mokke, Shana and Magica. I should also mention the two series that existed for the sole purpose of fanservice: Shitsuji... | | |
| 9:55pm | Mushi-Shi in the Middle | | | | I’ve been slack on writing about Mushi-Shi and highlighting the stories I thought played with human concepts in interesting ways. Maybe if I get the motivation to write an end of series post for it I will, but most people don’t come here for the text, so there’s less motivation there.... | | |
| 4:42am | Someday’s Dreamers: Things That Are Important to a Mage | | | | So on an almost random whim, and because, due to the implosion of Geneon, the entire series on DVD cost $30 at TRSI (plenty of copies left! Get yours today!), I picked up Someday’s Dreamers, alias Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto. I’ve meant to watch this series ever since it aired, but... | | |
| 5:32pm | The End of the World: two years old today | | | | Two years. TWO YEARS I’ve been doing this. From my first post waxing lyrical about Monster, through the gender-bending Kashimashi, my stubborn refusal to fanboy about Haruhi and my stubborn refusal to not fanboy about Mushishi, right up to the move to Wordpress, the ABC dorama and beyond, it’s... | | |
| 12:58pm | How to show off your otaku pride, undetected. (Part 1) | | | | While Tj Han has written a post similar to this a long time ago, the focus is different; the post I linked to is on how not to be detected, while this one is how to go undetected by non-otaku but detected by otaku. Take note, this is simply a bunch of ideas and have not really been proven; simply put,... | | |
