| 4:54pm | Nodame Cantabile 3-6 | | | | Just caught the latest installments on Animax. The (creditless) English dub was actually pretty decent; I particularly enjoyed Streseman’s faux German accent. But Chiaki didn’t sound half as irritated enough and Nodame’s ‘gyabou!’ and ‘mukyaa!’ were all cut... | | |
| 11:06pm | Anime Summer 2009 -- full previews w/cast, staff, story, trailer, pic | | | | Last summer, I could find only 30 shows to preview. This summer, there are 36, without even counting movies.And that doesn't include strong continuing shows, such as Requiem for the Phantom, Pandora Hearts, Cross Game, Before Green Gables, Mazinger Z, Guin Saga, Hanasakeru Shounen, Saki -- and new episodes... | | |

| 2:52pm | Nodame Cantabile 1-2 | | | | Caught the first two eps, by chance, via Animax; my curiosity had been piqued by Hirasawa Yui versus Nodame discussion as well as comparisons with ToraDora’s Takasu Ryuuji. Quite surprised that I enjoyed it very much despite how Chiaki Shinichi is so arrogant (anyone who uses the ‘oresama’... | | |
| 8:05am | Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - 53 | | | | Apologies for the lateness, but I’ve been quite buy for the past week. Still wow. Just wow. I don’t think that I’ve ever watched an OVA that contributed as much to its original series as Higurashi Rei (the only one that comes close is the Rurouni Kenshin OVA). This is really why... | | |
| 5:35am | Nodame And Yui | | | | After hearing the hilarious tale of how The Sojourner was forced into playing the piano after his parents watched the Nodame Cantabile drama, it sparked my interest and I soon found myself watching the anime. After all, K-ON! alone isn’t enough to satisfy my appetite for music-themed anime since... | | |
| 7:56pm | Hayami Saori -- the new Kawasumi Ayako or the new Shimamoto Sumi? | | | | I keep rewatching episodes of Eden of the East, partly just to hear more of the beautiful voice of Hayami Saori 早見沙織. The 17-year-old Hayamin is coming into her own with her starring role as Saki.In the thread about her on 2channel, the Japanese discussion board, her growing number of fans have... | | |
| 11:19am | Nodame Cantabile: Paris-hen | | | | Nodame and Chiaki may have been cream of the crop in Japan, but now they’re both moving to Paris, where the standards are higher and mistakes are less easily forgiven. Whilst Nodame must cope with the dual tasks of learning French and adapting to the disciplined curriculum at the Conservatoire, Chiaki... | | |
| 10:43pm | Higashi no Eden -- Godly Voices and Animation | | | | I've been eagerly awaiting the first episode of Higashi no Eden, which aired in Japan a few hours ago.It did not disappoint.First, for me, is the godly voice work of Hayami Saori. As in her best singing, she can run a stream of subtle nuances through any line of text. She is a young seiyuu with mature... | | |
| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |
| 12:19pm | Kodomo no Omocha Review - 90/100 | | | | One thing that I noticed after having watched lots of different anime is that gets harder and harder to find series that seriously surpass their own genre. Nevertheless, here is one such series: Kodomo no Omocha is without a doubt and by far the best shoujo romantic comedy I have ever seen. And in... | | |
| 4:28am | 2009 Spring Anime Menu: Boys Keep Out Edition | | | | Springtime is finally here (yes we’re late, don’t have to tell us), bringing with it a HEAPLOAD of animes!! ‘For You in Full Blossom’ is but apt to describe this season, with plenty of variety to cater to just about any audience. And since our beloved male chefs didn’t... | | |
| 9:54pm | 48 Spring Anime -- full previews: story, trailer, cast, staff, pic | | | | These may be difficult times in the anime industry, but you couldn't tell it from the number of anime being produced. Forty-eight titles come out this spring -- series and OVAs -- about the same number as last spring.But quantity doesn't necessarily imply quality. Nothing here seems like an instant classic.... | | |
| 2:51pm | TBE’s Mega Spring Anime Preview 2009 |  | | | A tad late for this but is better than never, March is here and what are our own picks of the anime in Spring. A quick breakdown on the list and I realized that there a couple of interesting animes out there. Lets see what we have in our mega spring anime preview. Titles are arranged randomly.
