| 1:00pm | Weekly Review of Anime Watched (Aug3 – Aug 9) | | | | With a large backlog that I had to work on, I gravitated to shows that I liked. As a consequence, most of the episodes received high marks (and the week break probably helped as well). One show in particular, Nabari No Ou, I have let get backlogged badly and will try to catch that one for the next weekly... | | |
| 7:37am | Nabari no Ou - 19 |  | | | 「死神の横顔」 (Shinigami no Yokogao) "Profile of a Death God" Episode at a Glance: Trying to inform her brother of the situation, Kazuho is surprised to see Miharu and Yoite suddenly return. She then goes off to check on Gau, who was awakened by Yoite's Kira. | | |
| 7:11pm | The Ruler of Nabari #19 — Should Have Gone With Tetsuo | | | | KANEDAAAAAAAA! Impressions: Another episode where absolutely nothing happened and it did so very very slowly. We learn that Gau is a whiny little girl and basically Raikou’s maid, Yukimi named Yoite after having the little angsty brat dumped on him, and in the last three minutes or so, Miharu... | | |
| 8:47pm | Thoughts & OSTs | | | | I have been slacking from writing posts lately, but that’s because I’m preparing for a retreat (where I’m supposed to be a counselor), and packing for my trip back to college. This post will have to last for about a week, which seems only to be a little while, yes, but then again,... | | |
| 7:31pm | Nabari no Ou - 18 |  | | | 「呼ぶ声」 (Yobu Koe) "Voice of Calling" Episode at a Glance: With Kumohira bearing all responsibility and taking a sudden leave from school, Raimei expresses how helpless she feels and wonders what Miharu will do now. | | |
| 10:46pm | Nabari no Ou - Episode 17 | | | | Nabari no Ou seems Hell-bent on keeping up its history of mixing very dialogue-heavy episodes with more action oriented ones, and just as we were expecting a bit more action this time around so we get it in episode seventeen.To be honest, the entire affair seems to be getting ever-more confusing, to... | | |
| 7:58pm | The Ruler of Nabari #18 — Nice Jacket, Miharu | | | | Did your husband pick it out for you? Impressions: Why is it always "one month to live" or "one week to live." I mean, sure, a nice round number sounds better, 30 days or so is quite a wide margin or error and no less arbitrary than saying "x weeks." Then again, I guess... | | |

| 7:34am | Male Teenage Protagonists and Anime |  | | | Like, DUDE, anime-makers, why so many uninspiring teenage male protagonists? I mean, like, WTF! They suck! Like cuck with muck and tuck. [haha it rhymes]. I apologize to anyone who likes Nabari No Ou but I can’t stand the main protagonist. He’s a loser . His life calling is obvious... | | |
| 11:41pm | Blade of the Immortal - 02: All We’ve Got Left is Revenge | | | | When the hell was it subbed? Frankly, this episode just got worse, mostly because not only did it lack both action and blood, but the background music sounded as if it was intended for a classical Italian movie rather than a samurai show set in well, history, I suppose. Manji’s question... | | |
| 10:53pm | Beginning of Summer Season '08 | | | | well actually, mid-way; on one hand, I was waiting for subs to come out first and on the other, my hands were full these last two months but as the saying goes: "better late then never"! I must express my surprise that the summer season has a significant number of shows that I follow, especially in... | | |
