| 5:00am | First Thoughts on Gunslinger Girl - Il Teatrino - | | | | As a huge fan of the original Gunslinger Girl anime, as well as the ongoing manga, I’m definitely very excited about seeing how this new season will turn out. The change of studio and cast obviously means the second season will be different from the first, but for the most part I remain pretty... | | |
| 8:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 7 - Anime of the Year | | | | It’s the Year of the Dango, doncha know Well, at long last we’ve come to the end of our little farcical award show. Much like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, the awards are made up and the prizes don’t matter, but it’s been a lot of fun to write nevertheless. Now finally,... | | |
| 5:23pm | This anime fan forever looks back on 2007 | | | | Jesus, it’s the end of another year. I’ve had fun in 2007; being a part of the anime blogging community and writing for you, dear reader. I’m not sure I’d last long if it wasn’t for your comments, but here we are, almost two years on and still talking, ranting, in love with anime. Back during... | | |
| 2:38pm | 2007 Summary | | | | And so it’s finally time to say goodbye to 2007. It’s been another great year, and what way to close it off better than with the obligatory end-of-the-year-rankings and -awards. Like mentioned before, this post has turned out a lot bigger than last year now that I’ve had multiple days... | | |
| 10:35pm | Quick Review - Seirei no Moribito | | | | Hello, I still exist. I haven’t abandoned this blog; I just have a hard time finding time to even watch things during the semester. I’m off from school for about another week, so, as I said months ago, I’m catching up. Because it’s been a while since I started watching many... | | |
| 9:10pm | Doesn’t Time Fly? | | | | Well it’s that time of year again. 2007 is drawing to a close… and what a year it has been. Following on from Martins post last week, I figured I would toss my opinion into the ring. In the last 5 years I have personally never seen anything quite like this year. We’ve had the ups, the downs and... | | |
| 8:25pm | Winter Season Preview | | | | The new season is about to begin, so I am having a quick look at what anime are coming out this winter. It looks pretty "dry" compared to the upcoming spring. Five (out of twelve) shows are either continuations or retellings of older series.At least, several series continue for the winter season (Bamboo... | | |
| 10:49pm | Mokke, and What’s Inside of Us |  | | | Written by TheBigN I’m surprised at the relative lack of coverage that Mokke’s getting from people here in the blogosphere, as I think it’s a pretty solid show. After that first hiccup of an episode which apparently tried to show off Mizuki’s (the possessee) and Shizuru’s... | | |
| 8:30am | But Clannad Sucks! Did I Miss Something? | | | | Dear Reader, I am in the midst of a deep conundrum. I faithfully watched Clannad up until episode 9, the conclusion of Fuuko’s story arc. And I hated it. I was too busy rolling my eyes to be able to shed any tears. Yet the rest of the blogosphere has been filled with nothing but “FU-CHAN... | | |
| 7:03am | November Summary | | | | + November Rankings + My general opinion of the current Autumn-Season is indeed that it isn’t as good as the previous Spring-season. There haven’t really come any epic series yet, like Bokura no, Towards the Terra or Kaze no Shoujo Emily, but instead of that, we’ve got quite a lot... | | |
| 11:17pm | Mokke 2 and 3 | | | | I feel like I’m fighting for the underdog here. Even halfway through the season, Mokke has received comparatively little attention from the blogosphere while I’m finding it disappointing that so few of us have noticed its subtle charms. Maybe it’s because its charms are so subtle,... | | |
| 2:00pm | Autumn season 07: preconceptions and the element of surprise | | | | With a forecast of chilly receptions, widespread mediocrity and a chance of a few scattered moments of greatness across all regions of the anime blogosphere the autumn season looked a little bleak, or so I thought. For sure, there’s been a lot of stuff that passed me by and provoked little more... | | |
| 9:00am | 3 Episode Taste Test: Mokke | | | | It’s inevitable that Mokke is going to be compared to the seminal Mushishi: it deals with a similar “hidden to all but those who can see” neer-do-wells, has a similar way of dealing with them and maintains the same kind of morality about their place within nature. This may sound like... | | |
| 8:31pm | Reflections on Seirei no Moribito: dull or delightful? | | | | As any fans of Evangelion will attest, it’s rare to finish an anime series and find ourselves contented enough to walk away knowing “everything is tied up into a neat little package”, yet that is the case with the recently concluded Guardian of the Sacred Spirit (a.k.a Seirei no Moribito).... | | |
| 3:45pm | Mushishi | | | | Mushi (蟲) are primitive organisms. They are neither plant nor animal. They are far more basic, close to being merely essences of life. Because of this, their shapes and existence are vague, only a few can discern them. When mushi are present, they sometimes cause mysterious phenomena to manifest. In... | | |
