| 2:58am | T.H.A.T. Winter 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | KeyAni fanboy, reporting in. Once again I have taken on the responsibilities of creating the monstrosity known as THAT’s various season previews. At least since I’m doing it from the start Impz can’t whine and pawn it off on me halfway through. Plus, I’m OCD about getting... | | |
| 1:21pm | T-That’s Impossible: A Retrospect on Saimoe 2008, Round 3 | | | | Analysis\ up when I get the chance, but since I’ll be away from the computer for a bit, I’ve got to push this post out the door: G3-2 Results: Show ▼ Tsukasa (Lucky Star) defeats Nagi (Hayate) 1080-889 H3-1 Results: Show ▼ Noe (true tears) defeats Suzu (Nagasarete Airantou) 972-555... | | |
| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |
| 12:43pm | Kannagi - Crazy Shrine Maidens 1: Sacred Miko |  | | | Ooookay. So I watched the first episode. Not surprising, but hey, it’s good. It’s not like this genre comes once in a while anyway. And it’s got a plot like that of A!MG! too. Goddess meets boy, goddess lives with boy, then more goddesses come in, while a human contender also enters... | | |

| 5:42am | T.H.A.T Fall 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | You know that this will be a great season when I do not even know whether I will be blogging EF. Since poor Calawain wrote the previous summer season, it might seem reasonable that he has the invaluable experience to continue on this feature of T.H.A.T. Nonetheless, to relieve him of his pain and his... | | |

| 11:54pm | 2008 Summer Week One Wrapup and Clambake | | | | Feelin’ hot hot hot. Alright, everything’s aired except for Nogizaki Haruka and Blade of the Immortal, neither of which I’m particularly looking forward to, but otherwise, lots and lots of pretty good looking new shows. I think we finally got a cluster of the more lighthearted action... | | |
| 6:46pm | 2 Years of Fangirl Rage. |  | | | And so on Monday June 23rd, Ex-Fansubber Hitorigoto hits its 2 year anniversary. I’m posting today though because there’s nothing else going on anime wise. I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle this post but I figured everyone loves stats and all that jazz so I may as well roll... | | |
| 8:15pm | “what do you think” introduction | | | | This section will be called “What do you think?” While normally, blogs are meant to display an author’s opinion and have people reading it comment on the material, I want to make the experience two-way. I doubt that many anime bloggers have gone through an entire season without questions... | | |
| 3:49am | The Ruler of Nabari #01 — Nin Nin! | | | | Ninjas that actually behave like ninjas it’s a miracle! Impressions: I really love the incidental visuals on this show. In a lot of their shows, JCStaff loves to use watercolor backgrounds. This time around, they have a very distinct eastern spin on the usual, looking like they came straight... | | |
| 4:24pm | Kanokon, at a glance | | | | Nyan nyan, nyan nyan, ni hao nyan When I initially wrote this opening paragraph I filled it to the brim with praise for Kanokon, framing it as a lighthearted ecchi series with school comedy elements and the potential for an engaging plot by putting its fantasy undertones to use. But then, crap, I remembered... | | |
| 2:41pm | 1/6 Sennin Naruka PVC | | | | This is a very nice ninja figurine of Sennin Nariku from the eroge Beat Blades Haruka which is released this February. I’ve haven gotten hold of the game yet but I first noticed it on Dannychoo. She will also be released in June, together with Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou, and she will be retailing... | | |
