| 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... | | |
| 8:38am | 1/7 Suzu PVC (Bikini Ver.) | | | | Here’s a nice Kotobukiya figure that is scheduled from June. A 1/7 scale of Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou wearing a sexy bikini. She just look irrestibily sexy and cute in her pose. And they got Tonkatsu included as well. She will be retailing for 6,090 yen and to be released in June. | | |
| 6:51am | Figure News: Kotobukiya’s June lineup unveiled | | | | Kotobukiya announced their June release lineup today, including a couple of surprises - their collaboration with Alice Soft continues with the release of Sennin Narika, one of the heroines of the upcoming Choukou Sennin Haruka (Beat Blades Haruka) eroge. Also coming are a swimsuit-clad Suzu from Nagasarete... | | |
| 1:47pm | Just a few boring and unimportant updates… | | | | Just a few site announcements, but before anything, let me say that Shakugan no Shana II 15, Clannad 15 and Gundam 00 16 will be out within the next day (hopefully). I actually haven’t been keeping up with them, and I only get them when I ‘come across’ their torrents whenever I visit... | | |
| 9:00pm | 2007 Anime. A best of retrospect. | | | | Figured the header should be Lucky Star since you won’t be seeing it on the actual list =P With the end of 2007 just around the corner, one can’t help but look back on the year that has passed and wonder, was all that time that I spent watching this stuff actually worth it? Which led me,... | | |
| 11:41pm | Nagasarete Airantou mkII.III |  | | | Continuing a bit more on Nagasarete Airantou. We all know how Ikuto has the thing with “zettai muri” and going great guns about overcoming whatever it is, only to be beaten by it in the end. What’s slightly less obvious I think is that (I’m not counting or anything) he seems to... | | |
| 12:52pm | Nagasarete Airantou mkII.II |  | | | Continuing rewatching Nagasarete Airantou. Feels like while I wait for the fall season to wind up that I’m reviewing the best of the summer season again. There’s loads of free time after you’re done with all your school assignments after all. There was a half episode. Or really, two... | | |
| 12:19am | Nagasarete Airantou mkII.I |  | | | Well, since it seems to be the season for re-watching things again (entirely unrelated to it being Christmas time), I’ve started to put in another viewing of Nagasarete Airantou. First thing I noticed was (and I’ve been looking out for this lately) is that you meet all the characters at once.... | | |
