| 9:36am | Sgt. Frog Hasn’t Invaded Yet But There’s Still a Sliver of Hope | | | | FACT: There are still six months left in 2008. FACT: Still no Keroro.

| 4:50am | Hikkikomori, You Are Not |  | | | First, I should say that I’m not picking on Fang-tan or Shance for their posts, but Hikkikomori are really an entirely different breed from how you’re portraying them and how many of you know them.

| 11:46pm | Otaku Paranoia: Ressentiment and the NHK Conspiracy | | | | I’ve been going on an interesting, almost existential-type tangent in my anime fandom of recently. Perhaps it’s a slow time waiting week-to-week on all the latest shows, or an over-saturation in pink happy-happy fluffiness, but I’ve been challenging my mentality (and perhaps sanity)... | | |
| 9:36pm | Amuri in Star Ocean | | | | I’ve been waiting for this since December 2007, but I didn’t really get excited for it until I heard the first character song, sung by Makino Yui.

| 9:13pm | the ipod as prosthesis |  | | | It’s time again for another entry of “copy and paste a paper and call it a blog post”, but this time I’m not doing it as a joke. bateszi said: Don’t you find it difficult to “get into” an episode of anime by watching it in public?
