| 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... | | |
| 5:33pm | Telepathy Shoujo Ran - 02 | | | | Ah, it’s good to see another good series about middle-schoolers. I’m not sure why, but in average, I tend to like these series much more than the series that focus on high-schools. Perhaps it’s the impulsive way that they try to solve their conflicts, or their innocence. Or how your... | | |
| 7:17am | Crystal Blaze - 02 | | | | I’m really surprised with this series. At first look, it sounds more like a rather childish series with adult themes, but if you take a closer look, you’ll realize that this series is much more than that. I’m really surprised at how genuine this series has turned out, and I especially... | | |
| 1:21pm | Ghost Hound - 22 | | | | It’s strange. This episode was far from perfect. Like expected after the previous episode, a lot of things indeed had to be crammed in one episode. We still don’t know where Masayuki’s mother went (either that, or it was mentioned somewhere in a previous episode and I didn’t... | | |
| 9:05pm | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 24 | | | | And another series where its finale has begun. So far, it hasn’t been anything amazing yet, but I never expected this series to deliver an awesome climax. For now, it was entertaining and without flaws; it was built up well, so I’m happy. The fights were entertaining, and the themes on... | | |
| 5:39pm | Media Blasters Snags Night Head Genesis | | | | If you’re looking for a series with a bunch of attractive people (particularly guys) designed by a prominent yaoi mangaka and don’t want to watch Gundam 00*, good news! Anime on DVD reports that Media Blasters has licensed Night Head Genesis, which is about a pair of brothers with psychic... | | |
| 9:18am | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 06 | | | | The stories for the different episodes haven’t impressed me so far. They’re a bit one-sided and uninspired, and series like El Cazador and Night Head Genesis were much better at them. Thankfully, the detective-aspect and the main story of this series did turn out worthwhile so far. I like... | | |
| 10:13am | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 04 | | | | In this episode, there were quite some flaws in the storytelling, though I do admit that it was nice to watch. The way the heat-seeking wax zombies moved was a bit unbelievable, Minori was also a tad too helpless even though she hurt her ankle, and the way the dog found the Tokyo Tower-figure in the... | | |
| 12:20pm | September Summary | | | | + September 2007 Rankings + And finally the Spring- and Summer-seasons have ended. Last month, I received the comment that my ratings have been a tad too high, though I must say that they’ve possibly become even higher. But then again, September has been the best month in terms of anime for... | | |
| 5:30pm | Dennou Coil - A Circle of Children - 15 | | | | Rejoice: Dennou Coil is back! Apparently, the break and recaps weren’t meant to give the animators some time off, or to catch up or something similar; the timeslot for Dennou Coil was just occupied with baseball. Sorry about that. Anyway, with this episode, the story gets fired off again, with... | | |
| 8:01pm | Ooedo Rocket - 20 | | | | Aha! After Toward the Terra and Claymore Ooedo Rocket will also start its final arc with the next episode. That’s when Seikichi really is going to have to prove himself to take Sora to the moon. His problems with the police will be over now, people don’t have any more secrets for each... | | |
| 2:03am | Da Capo II anime - A shadow of doubt | | | | If one hasn’t noticed, I’m actually a HUGE Da Capo fan. DC has shaped many aspects my anime psyche/this blog. A cursory look at past banners would reveal an unhealthy obessession with DC girls. The only original, complete anime DVD series I own is Da Capo. My favourite anime imouto is | | |
| 11:35am | A Con-Goer Guide to Asking Questions | | | | Over the years as a fan I read and saw a lot of interviews of creators and things of that nature. I’ve seen a handful of cons and their Q&A panels. This perspective piece is tempered by my training as a legal professional but probably more so by a desire to want to get that inner geek out,... | | |
| 6:22pm | Gothic Lolita Aya Hirano Makes Me (*´Д`)ハァハァ | | | | In the midst of having recently obtained the May issue of Seiyuu Grand Prix, volume 1 of VOICHA!, and ogling at the reports of her recent television appearance on NHK's AnimeGIGA programme (will you just survey the brilliant display of zettai ryouiki!), it is no doubt Aya fever here at Neko Mimi | | |
