| 10:52am | Kami-Sama no Memo-Chou - 10 | | | | Oh heck. It may not be the Alice arc, but once again this was really good. Ayaka’s brother’s introduction gave a completely different light on her character and I have no doubt that the creators can make something nice out of it. Especially that ending: at first I thought it was some sort... | | |
| 9:55pm | Togainu no Chi Review - 57,5/100 | | | | I don’t touch hard yaoi in the same way that I’m not going to talk about those extreme fanservice OVAs, but beyond that I do enjoy a good shounen ai series like Uragiri or Antique Bakery from time to time, despite being a straight guy. The main problem with most of the series of that... | | |
| 12:21pm | Anime Review: Night Head Genesis | | | | Night Head GenesisAnimation Production: Actas, Horipro, Media BlastersL, Four Some, Bee Media | Director: Yoshio Takeuchi | Storyboard: Masahiko Murata | Music: Shigeru Umebayashi | Original Creator: George IidaIt is said that 70% of the human brain capacity is unused. If humans possess incredible power,... | | |
| 8:56pm | Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru (henceforth abbreviated as Uragiri) is a series that doesn’t start out as anything special. Its first ten episodes don’t really stand out aside from a few well written action scenes and overly campy dialogues. Still, it managed to pull itself together... | | |
| 6:56pm | To Aru Majutsu no Index Review - 77,5/100 | | | | To Aru Majutsu no Index and Kagaku no Railgun. They’re both two series that I dropped very quickly when they first aired, though for completely different reasons. Railgun to me was genuinely annoying; I really don’t want to watch anything more of that. Index however yeah. I dropped it... | | |
| 1:41pm | Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru - 19 | | | | Whoa, this was a really good episode. I mean, suddenly out of nowhere Kuroto comes and starts talking about his back-story. Of course this adds even more depth to the cast than it already had, but the episode itself also was really well executed, despite how filled it was with death and destruction.... | | |
| 6:57pm | Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru - 09 | | | | Ooh, what a surprise: this episode was actually quite good again. I didn’t expect this show to pick itself back up after those rather lackluster previous two episodes, but this episode returned to the parts that made this series good. It was very angsty, but at the same time it allowed Hotsuma... | | |
| 5:59pm | Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru - 03 | | | | Whoa, the soundtrack for this series just continues to get better and better. that’s a very pleasant surprise for this series. Shougo Kaida seems to be very much a newbie composer, but something tells me that he’s someone to look out for. The story so far has been a mix between cliches... | | |
| 3:52pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Back in 2008, I started a little experiment: what if I were to avoid all kinds of promotional material before the start of a season. Would that be better for my expectations of each individual season? The answer to that is: No. Sure, I got no expectations of the majority of the anime that aired, but... | | |
| 3:29pm | 2000-2009 - Decade Summary Part 2 | | | | Well, as promised here is the second part of my decade summary. It again took me a while to figure out what exactly I wanted to do with it. I didn’t want to write a simple Top X-list; that would just be pointless, since people can just look at my Top 20 and remove all of the series that aren’t from... | | |
| 10:05am | Himitsu ~The Revelation~ - 23 | | | | Short Synopsis: Two dead bodies are found at a love hotel. Highlights: SEARCH MY BODY Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,75/10 OMG! Now THIS is what I’m talking about! THIS is exactly why I like this series so much! Himitsu’s multi-episode arcs have always known exactly how to use their time,... | | |
| 7:09am | Mike’s Fall 2008 Preview Post |  | | | Time to jump on the bandwagon a little late. As I said the last time I wrote a preview post, I will realistically only end up covering 2 shows max. Still, I want to list all the shows that actually look interesting to my tastes, though that doesn’t mean I will blog it. (Some have already been,... | | |
| 9:15pm | Ultraviolet: Code 044 - 05 | | | | Short Synopsis: 044 tries to get rid of 724 and his henchmen. Highlights: Solid action that knows when to stop. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Here’s one thing I don’t get: why the heck is this series getting so much hate?! I mean, I can understand how people can dislike this series: the... | | |
| 5:44pm | Telepathy Shoujo Ran - 03 | | | | Short Synopsis: The villain turns out to be a teacher. More importantly: Ran and Midori become friends. Highlights: Excellent banter, though the evil teacher was way too evil. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 I’m probably going to end up comparing this series a lot to Night Head Genesis, the... | | |
