| 12:39am | Weekly Review (May 25-31) of Anime Watched | | | | Week three of my weekly review of anime I’ve watched. Highlights included Nabari No Ou, episode 8, and Library War, episode 6, as well as finishing up my rewatch of Samurai Champloo.Wagaya no Oinari-sama, episode 6 – Rating 11/12 A+“Why must people always like others?!” asks a love-struck Misaki.... | | |
| 6:53pm | The Ruler of Nabari #10 — Potential Squandered | | | | So much for that. Impressions: What’s impressive about this episode is that there are three fights, and they managed to last a combined total of maybe about 30 seconds. Somehow, Yoite vs Kumohira managed to be the best animated one too. I don’t have too many issues with talky shows, but... | | |
| 2:08am | Nabari no Ou 9 [Zensou kyoku] | | | | Are my BL sensors telling me to look at Yoite and Rokujo in a different manner this episode? Especially the scenes and lines from Miharu and Yoite: “I will use the Shinrabanshou and save Yoite” and “I need to hurry and see Miharu”. Even their relationship is stressed in the... | | |
| 10:32pm | Nabari no Ou - Episode 9 | | | | In what seems to be its natural cycle of action followed by more plot/dialogue-centric episodes, the ninth instalment of Nabari no Ou eschews much in the way of fighting to focus its attention on a number of disparate plot points. While some of these less action-driven episodes have been a little weak... | | |

| 3:40pm | The Weekly Ratings Return… 6 June 2008 (as I forgot the Week Number). | | | | Due to the start of the holidays, I had to miss watching anime for a while and this prevented the weekly rating post from being written. As I caught up on my backlog, I got confused by the numerous series I was following. Like I’ll miss out on episode 6 and start watching 7, only realising halfway... | | |
| 4:09am | The Ruler of Nabari #09 — Cameo by Yagami Light | | | | ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Impressions: My patience for this show is really starting to run thin. To be bad and noteworthy is one thing at least I have something to talk about and I can point out where things went horribly wrong. Hell, even Kanokon has its moments before it plunges... | | |
| 10:25pm | Nabari no Ou - Episode 8 | | | | After arguably taking rather too long to build up this storyline in its last episode, part eight of Nabari no Ou takes us to the real heat of the assassination attempt on the evil Mr. Frosty (he of the bad American accent), and does so in pretty compelling fashion.While episode eight is anything but... | | |
| 11:52pm | T.H.A.T.’s Summer 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | Summer timeand the livin’s easy Since Impz has bailed on us for three weeks to go to some academic conference, the duty of creating the THAT Anime Blog Summer 2008 Preview falls to me. Thankfully it’s not a fall or spring preview or I’d have to kill him. This preview uses pretty much the... | | |
| 9:04pm | Random Musings - To the Land of the Rising Sun |  | | | While hearing about my vacation plans is probably not the most exciting thing, my blogging will be affected; therefore, this can be considered as a somewhat official notice of that. For the first time ever, I'll be going overseas and on a real vacation (i.e. paid vacation days). Evidently, this will... | | |
| 7:14pm | Nabari no Ou - 08 |  | | | 「伝わる心」 (Tsutawaru Kokoro)"Inherited Spirit" Some time ago, Yae was crying over the body of her daughter, Alisa, and with the kinjutsu in her hand, swore to avenge her. Back in the present, Yae and Miharu are waiting in the parking lot, where Yae reads Miharu's mind and realizes that he's... | | |
| 7:52am | [anime] mid-season review | | | | So most of the series airing at the moment are up to their 7th or 8th episodes - TIME FOR A MASS REVIEW! I shy away from weekly or episodic reviews because everyone and their mothers are doing them - plus my anime watching habits don’t really suit that sort of reviewing schedule. [Macross F]... | | |
