| 1:59pm | Anime nowadays is at a standstill. True or not? | | | | Okay, so the discussion has been going on in a number of posts and shoutboxes, but the subject is interesting so I decided to make one post about it. Blogsome unfortunately doesn’t support the option to move comments, so I’ll instead quote what the different people have said about it. It... | | |
| 8:48am | Aoi Hana - 02 | | | | You know, I said in my Umineko post that I’d be blogging Bakemonogatari but its second episode was so underwhelming that I’ve nearly lost interest I mean, the awesome OP was gone and instead we have a random J-Pop song about staplers, the entire first half of that episode was filled with... | | |

| 1:52am | Nodame Cantabile 11-14 | | | | I’m just astounded that the current series I’m most excited about is old news to the aniblogosphere, being ‘current’ only WRT the Animax Asia broadcast schedule. Chiaki’s story was interesting from the get-go and I look forward to his (inevitable?) success. And it was... | | |
| 8:01am | Nodame Cantabile 7-10 | | | | While I’m glad that, with my limited bandwidth, I can watch this series on Animax, it’s a bit inconvenient to adhere to the broadcast schedule (or even the repeats), particularly with Wimbledon on right now. Ep 7. I loved how Nodame’s piano playing caused Chiaki to see his relationship... | | |

| 3:11am | So a butler, a seleção, and a data entity walk into a blog post | | | | And the owner of of the blog says, “What the hell kind of introductory paragraph am I supposed to make from this?” Sadly enough, I haven’t been popular enough to have any rumors of my blogging death to greatly exaggerate (in the Mark Twain fashion) – perhaps this is due to the... | | |
