| 3:13pm | Introducing a New Blogger on Riuva… | | | | Since most of the other guys, with the notable exception of Ascaloth, haven’t really been active, I’ve been looking for some fresh talent to come onboard the site. If you’re looking to blog on anime, manga or any other topic with the slightest bit of relevancy, do email me or use the... | | |
| 11:18pm | Summer '09 Previews | | | | With several shows that I enjoy carrying on from spring; add 14 new ones, plus Haruhi new episodes, Zetsubou Sensei 3rd and Ookami 2nd season; this summer looks very promising! The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this... | | |
| 1:49pm | T.H.A.T. Summer 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Are you ready for your swine flu vaccination? Welcome to the 2009 Summer Anime Preview.

| 5:17am | List of harems for C.C.Yoshi |  | | | CCY asks to list known harems and triangles (presumably male-centered only). Let’s see what I can remember. Harems known to me: Ai yori Aoshi Angel Tales (Tenshi no shippo) Comic Party DearS Dual Fate/stay night — anime has harem downplayed, so mostly Saber and Rin Futakoi (I haven’t... | | |
| 5:57pm | Aroduc on Nagasarete Airantou |  | | | After having to resort to my immense willpower to complete ep.1, I went to check the final write-up on Tenka Seiha. Behold: It started out very well, high production values all around, some great jokes, and even eventually a teaser that this Romantic Comedy would actually have a smidgeon of romance.... | | |
| 6:43am | Nagasarete Airantou 01 |  | | | I clenched my teeth to complete the episode. Did I just say that animation in Tayutama was sketchy? Now I’m sorry about it. This is sketchy. But a bigger issue is the stupidity of the protagonist. SDB mentioned recently somewhere (possibly in someone’s else comments and in a different context)... | | |
| 12:18pm | Shopping in Akihabara |  | | | Member meronpan goes on a spending spree in Akihabara and shows us his goodies with more details at kare no burogu. I remember the first few times I went to Akihabara - spend most of my money in one visit! Back in those days, there wasn't really any more stuff (over 15 years ago) and I spent most... | | |
| 5:10pm | 2008/2009 Winter Anime Menu | | | | Super delayed preview, as always! woohoo!! Better late than never, right? It’s that time of the year when the chefs get together and actually post something to bring you this comprehensive list of animes due this season. Without further ado, we bring to you this almost complete list of this sequel-filled... | | |
| 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... | | |
