| 11:40pm | Punie-chan fails |  | | | Take Dokuro-chan, replace the sex with more violence, add jokes from the kind Sunred made: that is the recipy for Punie-chan (Dai Mahou Touge). Jokes, actually, were ok to great — in particular I remember the suiciding potato man — but I started skipping the rest before the first episode... | | |
| 8:08am | Petit Eva ~ Evangelion@School 10-16 | | | | Going to School. Rei’s morning routine is surprisingly manic in a LOL sort of way. She goes to school but it isn’t there but finally she presses the button that summons it out of the ground, unknowingly rescuing a bird crap encumbered Shinji along the way. So seriously weird shyte in these... | | |
| 6:06am | SDB on Negima | | | | When I asked Steven about Negima, I expected an executive summary like the one with which vintage Jason Miao sold me on Muteki Kanban Musume. But his answer is far longer. It works though, I think I see what is good about the series. Notably though, we don’t know if the ending is any good at this... | | |
| 12:43am | The 512,000th ‘Genshiken Was Awesome’ post on the interwebs | | | | I caught the first season of Genshiken in late 2004/early 2005 and enjoyed it. But it didn’t strike me as awesome. It didn’t exactly leave a strong impression on me; I had forgotten what happened in the first season by the time the three bridging OVAs and second season aired in late 2006... | | |
| 4:19am | Marimite 01-03 | | | | I ignored Maria Sama ga Miteiru for years, in an apparently mistaken belief that it was a dykefest. But about a year ago, truth began to emerge, and just in time for the R1 release by TRSI (praise the Dark Lord). You can even get it on Netflix now, which is good, because the first volume contains shameful... | | |
| 3:14am | Magikano begins | | | | This is the second time when I watch a series because of the top rotation at Chizumatic. The first was Cosplay Complex, and what a disaster it was. I thought the lesson well taken, but one picture was just irresistible. I still consider Megumi of Muteki Kanban Musume the most beautiful character design... | | |
| 8:10am | Ten Chara Talkabout Gurren Lagann | | | | [1. Darry] I’ve been curious about this series ever since it derailed Anime on My Mind. Also qualifying for Mentar’s Itou Doctrine (along the lines of Evirus’ Ayako Doctrine) but, being an adherent of Stripeyisan G4GM4M Doctrine, I was somewhat put off by how prominently ‘manliness’... | | |
| 5:39am | Spring 2008 Anime Season: Preliminary Viewing Awards | | | | A good evening to you all! A new season of anime is upon us, and with it a new start of madness in this blog! While we still have lots of stuff from the fall to clean out, mostly due to us falling behind when I dropped my hard drive while it was running, but that doesn’t preclude us from ignoring... | | |
| 5:42am | SDB on MKM/RFM | | | | The title of this post is a self-parody, as a reminder not to take anything I write too seriously. That said, SDB writes: I didn’t finish watching the first DVD when that was all I had, though I got most of the way. Part of the reason why is that it has a lot of extreme comedic violence —... | | |
| 5:47am | This is not a Top 10 | | | | Spurred undoubtedly by the unexpected popularity of Ani-nouto among the faithful, I undertook the most comprehensive attempt to keep up with the season yet. The result was the same, however: only one series reached the finish. The rising attrition is another illustration to my bandwidth issues. Firstly,... | | |
| 12:27am | Anti-fansub hysteria today | | | | Justin Sevakis (founder of ANN) takes the old rhethoric to the new heights (via Nigorimasen). He does not bother to establish the culpability of fansubbers, simply taking it for granted. And why should he? Even the industry outsiders toe the party line and blame “clueless distributors, selfish... | | |
| 2:47am | The Plight of the Comedy Anime |  | | | I love Potemayo. It was the best show to come out of the summer season. It flawlessly mixes cute moeblobs, really weird characters, and slapstick comedy. Every minute fills me with such ecstatic giddiness and indescribable happiness; I’m cutegasming every second. But, that’s the problem.... | | |
| 7:33am | SDB on MKM/RFM | | | | After seeing the OP of Muteki Kanban Musume (Ramen Fighter Miki), Steven makes a guess that Hell’s Bunny is Megumi’s mother. The sheer audacity of the call renders me speechless. I hate to admit it, but I did not even see their likeness until Hell’s Bunny made her appearance in the... | | |
| 1:13am | Muteki Kanban Musume | | | | Also known as “Noodle Fighter Miki”, which is pretty much what this show is about. Noodles and fighting - all revolving around Miki. Miki Onimaru is a girl who works in a chinese noodle shop and it seems as if she’s having a bit of a hard timeThere’s really no plot | | |
| 6:07pm | Saimoe Main Tournament Group Stage Matchups. |  | | | Matchups have been drawn and determined, so this are the groups from A1 to H12 for the main tournament. For the group stage of the tournament, the voting starts from Group A until Group H. Everyday, three subgroups from each group will compete together and everyone votes for one character from each... | | |
