| 10:59pm | Finals Week Anime Binge In Review | | | | Ahh, finals. That time of the semester when three-hour-long tests covering all the material you didn’t need to know for the section tests and midterms attempt to pulp your GPA. The perfect time to watch thirty hours’ worth of anime! Binge One: Shakugan no Shana Hello me, welcome to last... | | |
| 1:09am | Louise 1, Miki 0 | | | | Just finished episode 1 of Zero no Tsukaima and Muteki Kanban Musume a while ago. The weird thing is, I found ZnT funnier than Muteki. And ZnT has lots of ecchi-ness. While I was turned off by the breast sizes feature of Air Gear, that mousy magic of Dumbledore Mr. Headmaster had me | | |

| 4:56am | Noodle Fighter Miki IN AMERICA! |  | | | Now please let there be a second season, and let it be like this.Somehow I missed this, but earlier this week Media Blaster apparently mentioned they’ve licensed Muteki Kanban Musume aka. Noodle Fighter Miki. Also mentioned was Kashimashi and High School Girls. I kind of want to question the | | |
| 1:56pm | Sumomomo Momomo: Episodes 3 & 4 | | | | Impressions:This show really is quite funny. Episode 3 wasn’t as good, but episode 4 was hilarious. I especially enjoyed the appearances of Iruha. She wins over Momoko and Sanae by a mile. Momoko is just too young, while Sanae is too normal. I guess you could call Iruha a slight Tsundere, but | | |
| 9:21am | Impressions and Notes: Asatte no Houkou, Death Note, Polyphonica Animation |  | | | The next batch of what I think of all the new fall shows. Included this time is the cute and vaguely supernatural Asatte no Houkou, the entertaining (up to vol. 7) Death Note, and an interesting announcement of a new anime production based off another, you guessed it, visual novel. Well technically | | |
| 11:36pm | Muteki Kanban Musume afterthoughts | | | | Ahh! The last episode! Damn, these gag comedies should really go on longer. Nevertheless, in the short 12 episodes it had, it provided lots of fun and entertainment.If you ask me, Muteki Kanban Musume had its hit and misses - the first thing about it was that the name was so cheesy I didn’t | | |
| 3:37am | Series Review: Muteki Kanban Musume |  | | | I’m having a hard time thinking of what exactly to say about Muteki Kanban Musume. As a mainly fighting-centric comedy show there’s not many ways to describe it beyond ” best fighting parody evar or bestest fighting parody EVAR?!”. Though really that sums up my thoughts fine.... | | |
| 11:54pm | Muteki Kanban Musume: Last bowl of Onimaru Ramen, anyone? | | | | Muteki Kanban Musume ended, and I’m starving now. Who’s going to serve me my weekly dose of Onimaru Ramen now?It’s funny how much I loved this anime so much and yet not blogged about it or mentioned it anywhere here.I swear she’s violent. Seriously.What’s so special | | |
| 5:12pm | End-of-the-Month Ranking September 2006 | | | | Wow, it’s October already! Time for the rankings. I have some confessions to make about two specific anime: Mushishi and The Third. The confession about the Third is that I run 6 episodes behind. I’m planning a marathon some day, but I don’t know when yet. You’ll all see. | | |
| 8:34pm | Great Teacher Kayahara | | | | Muteki Kanban Musume was the only summer season series that I picked up and it’s been buckets of fun. While I like all the characters in the cast, especially the antagonism between Miki and Megumi, I eventually voted for Kayahara-sensei in the current AoMM poll. Apparently Jason is surprised | | |
