| 3:09pm | Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad Review - 85/100 | | | | Beck is a lot like the younger rebellious brother of Nodame Cantabile. While the latter is about students, classical music and orchestras, the former is about a bunch of middle and high-school kids who try to start a rock band. Nodame Cantabile was very much up-beat and a positive series, while Beck... | | |

If for some reason, you needed any more reasons as to why... | | |

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.

| 6:47am | NANA 1-5: Oddly captivating | | | | I should be the last man on Earth to start on NANA but that does not mean my love for it will lose to any other fan! NEVER!Awareness of NANA came by chance when after watching the live film adaptation a year ago. Although movies have their limits to fully bring out the details of a tale, there was decency... | | |

| 4:26pm | Fall 2008 Anime Season Preview |  | | | Look at all that nice anime line up we’ll have this fall! I know some of you are less than charmed by this current season so this surely comes as a relief. Personally, I think this summer’s been kicking ass but hey, there’s no denying Fall 2008’s appeal.

| 6:48am | Interview 09: Ataludicrous |  | | | For this interview, we’ve delved into the depths of absurdity to bring you Shin from Atarashii Prelude. You’d think that a blog named after the Nodame Cantabile OP would be romantic and wholesome, but of course you’d be wrong. Whether it’s using Photoshop exactly as Adobe intended,... | | |

I am back from my trip, and it’s been no less than fun fun fun I had such a great time staying at the hamster’s den, not simply because she and her entire family were such kind hosts (smothered us–me and my officemate/... | | |
| 5:02pm | [P-Meister and ID Sojourner] Yet another message from Sheryl | | | | Just to follow up on what Kabitzin started and this post is dedicated to dear Shin of Atarashii Prelude (cool blog name because Nodame Cantabile rocks).

| 3:21am | Fall 2008 looks to continue a good anime year. | | | | This Spring has been rather satisfying with Daughter of 20 Faces, Allison and Lilia, Itazura na Kiss, Special A, Code Geass R2 and others. The Summer, for whatever other faults it might have, will have more School Rumble. And this Fall looks pretty bitchin. Let’s see what we got this Fall *... | | |
| 3:17pm | Rie Tanaka Heads To NYAF; I Melt Into a Puddle of Glee | | | | I wouldn’t exactly call myself someone who follows a lot of the seiyuu information, but there are a certain handful of them whose voices I’ve come to know and love– and one of those is Rie Tanaka, who rook up residence in my heart by playing the sarcastic, glasses-wielding, weight-obsessed... | | |
