| 8:39pm | Chäos;HEAd - Episode 1 | | | | The word "mindfuck" gets thrown around way too easily with some anime series these days, and thus I'm going to avoid making use of it here, but even I have to admit that the opening episode of Chäos;HEAd is not far off fitting that description pretty well.The protagonist of the series is Takumi Nishijou,... | | |
| 4:27am | Chaos; head was… | | | | Strange, to say the least. I was expecting something similar to Tsukihime, but instead got Welcome to the NHK with blood. Since I really disliked Welcome to the NHK, this is a really bad thing. The main character has an annoying personality and a whiny voice, and the other characters aren’t the... | | |
| 1:11am | CHAOS;HEAD - 01 |  | | | What a strange title but anyway. Haha this show is win! It’s like my new Higurashi or something xD It’s also really amusing because the lead male is a total kimo-ota. Our (not so heroic) hero Takumi lives in some kind of a rooftop shed and sits all day playing video games, collects figures... | | |
| 7:07am | First Look Fair: ef-a tale of melodies |  | | | Groovy! ef is a state of mind, and requires a certain state of mind to really absorb and accept. This episode starts the process–with stronger artsiness waves than before, though. Is that always a good thing? This was, of course, my most anticipated show of the season, and if SHAFT’s goal... | | |
| 7:37am | Chojin project ? | | | | The Chojin project/Chojin Keikaku ? Anyone out there has any info of this novel by Tatsuhiko Takimoto(he wrote Welcome to the N.H.K) ? I saw this off gelbooru.com and note sure if its just a photoshop image or does the actual novel look like this. Read on wiki, there’s only a bunko version anything... | | |
| 5:43am | An Otaku Love Affair: Haruka Nogizaka’s Secret, reviewed | | | | So I understand Code Geass ended recently. Code Geass being what it is - a mysterious force that I haven’t experienced that supposedly mixes trainwrecks, pizza, and ingredient X and comes out with massive popularity - concluded on a rather open-ended note, leaving discussion of the final outcome... | | |
| 9:35pm | NYAF - Rie Tanaka EPICNESS | | | | Placeholder until I write something lengthy later. I generally suck at taking photos and usually don’t bother for guests given how bad they’ll turn out, but took a quick one at random. For better photos of Rie Rie, look towards the usual folks Quick Edit: I just got a call from one of... | | |
| 10:00pm | Kita ze 2nd anniversary! |  | | | Ossu~. How’s life? Well looks like I’ll be starting this anniversary post off this time around. Where do I start though? Well, let’s see kind of hard to believe it’s been two years since Leon and I started this blog. We were new to the whole thing too so it took time to... | | |
| 6:20pm | Forget Realism, Let’s Have Some Magic | | | | Over at Borderline Hikikomori, Crisu writes about attempting a lecture on mahou shoujo. To this, Damien Kellis of Moe Check! responds with a piece on shoujo versus shounen. Considering that I’ve spent over four hours over the past two weekends working on an unfinished, content-light Cardcaptor... | | |
| 7:14am | Welcome to the NHK! Vol. 4 - The Infinite Layer Cake of Misaki |  | | | Because that is what she is so far–like Heath Ledger’s Joker, who knows what kind of background or upbringing she really has? Who knows how much is truth and is a lie? It turns out this is a fairly suitable theme for the entire volume, too. The manga is beginning to arrive in territory... | | |

| 7:03am | Welcome to the NHK, Vol. 2-3: Divergence |  | | | Note: this is not a typical review of a manga. I am mainly writing my thoughts as to how this compares to the anime, which is one of my top 10 of all time–a key reason why I even started anime blogging. With these volumes, the differences from the anime begin appearing–most of which put... | | |
