| 6:03pm | Funi’s Licensing Spree: What They Got, And What They Seem To Have Missed |  | | | Funimation had been seriously hyping up their New Year’s “New Show A-Go-Go” licensing announcement spree. They left clues hidden around their website for us to decipher, and promised a new show announcement every day for 10 days up until New Year’s Eve (starting on 12/22). Turned... | | |
| 4:52pm | Anime Vice Check-In 01/01/09 | | | | Happy New Year, everyone! This will probably be the last time I do one of these check-ins, although I’m looking into having a plug-in that’ll round up the Anime Vice twitter daily. We’ll see if I can find something. In the mean time Tuesday 12/23 - Haruhi-chan Beats Haruhi by a Mile... | | |
| 6:04am | Funimation’s New Show A-Go-Go Day 9: Gungrave | | | | Well, someone blew their clue guessing on this one. People were so sure that Soul Eater and Evangelion 1.0 were going to be the last two titles that it was assumed to be a forgone conclusion! Contrare monfrare! Funimation pulls a fast one and gives us Gungrave, and this isn’t even a “license”... | | |
| 5:03am | Funi Day #4 | | | | Well, Funimation's new show a go-go finally announces a series not previously licensed in North America. I must confess, I'm surprised. From all the hints they hid around the site, none of them made me think that Nabari no Ou would be on the list. Most of the clues seem to be straightforward, but Nabari... | | |
| 11:17am | Funimation’s New Show A-Go-Go Day 4: Nabari no Ou | | | | Twas the night before Christmas, when all through animeland, not a creature was stirring, except the Funimation people announcing Nabari no Ou as their Christmas special new license. That’s right, Funimation gives us our first completely new show in the wee hours of Christmas morning by giving... | | |
| 3:36pm | EOY’08: 57 Cosplayer Pictures Here and Filtered for Your Eyes. | | | | The traditional local end of year cosplay event was hugely overshadowed by AFA this year, to the extent that we weren’t even aware it was taking place today if not for a timely email from the organisers. They sent out an invite to all bloggers to go cover the event, and despite it being a huge... | | |
| 10:27pm | Nabari no Ou - Episode 26 (Completed) | | | | After being gripped by the first few episodes of Nabari no Ou, I really didn't think that I'd reach the point where I'd be glad to see the end of the series, but glad I am, and then some.In a way, this episode summed up everything that was wrong with the series as a whole, and only served to prove how... | | |
| 10:00pm | Nabari no Ou - Episode 25 | | | | By the end of the last episode of Nabari no Ou, it was looking like we were in for a cataclysmic ending to the series, with Hattori dead, Yoite gone bonkers and the Shinrabanshou about to be unleashed unchecked by Miharu.But, of course, this is Nabari no Ou we're talking about, and thus five minutes... | | |
| 6:36am | Summer '08 Season Review | | | | In general the shows that were completed during the summer season were very weak. With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices. Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:... | | |
| 10:14pm | Nabari no Ou - Episode 24 | | | | Now that we're on the brink of the end of this series, Nabari no Ou is finally moving on apace, putting its foot to the floor in these last few episodes If only it had done it sooner.Anyway, with chaos all around him and Hattori pushing all of the blame onto him, Miharu finally loses his grip on everything... | | |
| 10:55pm | Nabari no Ou - Episode 23 | | | | At last, a truly action-packed episode of Nabari no Ou. After so many episodes of this series that have failed to live up to expectations, episode twenty-three at least brings us to a real blood and guts step towards the series finale.After threatening to be some kind of Yoite flashback episode in its... | | |
| 3:31am | Toradora! - 01 |  | | | Summary: The main character of the show is named Ryuuji. The episode starts with him cleaning his house up and cooking for his mother, who was passed out in the dining area. At the same time, a girl named Aisaka has just woken up and is sneezing over and over again. When Ryuuji’s mother... | | |
| 3:18am | This Week’s Happenings [Let's Make the Break Official!] | | | | Life is full of randomness. So I decided to write this post. I wanted to talk about my week in reality and in 2D. That’s the gist of this, but it may end up to be nothing more than a filler. A look at the Negative SideEven though I’m Taiwanese, I can’t read Chinese. Sucks, but much... | | |
| 4:55am | The Ruler of Nabari #26 — Sparklies! | | | | So much less embarassing than leaving a smelly corpse. Still on vacation. I got distracted by the Steelers/Ravens game that would not end and Sylar eating brains. You didn’t even need that power, dude. Why are you eating someone’s brain just to let you use your mouth to do the same thing... | | |
