| 8:08am | Spring 2008 Japanese Drama | | | | Thanks to some commenters, I'm reminded that there will be some interesting drama adaptation coming this Spring. The one that might be of interest to Nodame Cantabile drama fans is probably Last Friends because this is a drama starring Ueno Juri, Eita, and Mizukawa Asami. It's like a Nodame Cantabile... | | |
| 11:33am | Suga Shikao - NOBODY KNOWS (xxxHOLiC Kei OP Theme) | | | | Suga Shikao - NOBODY KNOWS (45.6MB, for PSP/Quicktime) | YouTube version "Jam" was not exactly the first thing that I had in mind when it comes down to this song but thanks to this PV, it probably will from now on. I think what's unfortunate is that the song does not exactly remind me of xxxHOLiC... | | |
| 4:53am | Moenetics: The Rise of the Sophisticated Moe Series | | | | Post to be broken up with ridiculously huge images, as is my tradition for longer essays, because otherwise there’s a huge wall of text and no one likes walls of text, least of all me, so you can either stay for the text or just stare at pretty pictures for a few minutes. Either way, you’ll... | | |

Nothing so far looks like an instant classic, but there are always surprises. And with 49 shows (including OVAs), there could be plenty of surprises.Hirano Aya returns to anime in a big way, starring... | | |
| 11:50pm | what i was forced to watch this week #17: piano |  | | | I thought that Piano might be like Nodame Cantabile, just with a loli. Instead, it ended up being the dullest anime I have ever seen. It’s not incredibly awful. It’s just so slice-of-life-y that well, nothing actually happens. There’s not really anything resembling a plot, no... | | |
| 4:57am | Kimikiss Pure Rouge Review: Is It All Right To Be Average? (75%) |  | | | The ending of this fine romance is either unsurprising or a cop-out. Is this show still worthwhile, though? Yes, mostly. There’s one thing that the staff of Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile proved with this show that makes it worthwhile: it is possible to do a compelling high school romance... | | |
| 3:17am | (Supposed to be) Short post: At the end of the anime world | | | | It’s red alert at M3 camp following the sudden revelation that all the shows I’ve been watching are ending. With the combination of some ace 1-cour shows this season with some excellent carryover shows from the fall season, the next week or two is looking to be one giant send-off to many... | | |
| 2:14pm | Ryu ga Gotoku: Kenzan! | | | | Ryu ga Gotoku aka Yakuza was an action/adventure game released by Sega for the PS2. This sequel, Ryu ga Gotoku: Kenzan! is not a continuation of the first and second game but rather, a story set in the Edo period with Miyamoto Musashi as its main character. There are several things that make this... | | |

| 4:40am | My Show Is Better Than Your Show, March Madness Edition | | | | There seems to be cries every season about how the cropping of shows is worse than the last, and while this may or may not be true depending on your taste in shows, I’ve always found it hard to be lacking in stuff to put up on the screen every night. This is because while there may not be many... | | |
| 5:46am | Nodame Cantabile - Overall Impressions |  | | | Well, to begin with, I didn’t have much time and oOgA-sama advised a overall review of the series would be better, so here it is :)Romantic daiyo >.<Nodame Cantabile is about music and the lives of Chiaki and Nodame as they cross hurdles in their lives together :) Along the way they meet... | | |
| 3:47am | Tracing True Tears: Part VI |  | | | So, yeah, I’ve been swamped with various real-life things, and there weren’t a whole lot of non-obvious things to say about episodes two through five, so I’ll just pick up this series for episode six. I guess I can go back and cover those episodes like this if you guys REALLY want... | | |
| 6:21pm | Nodame Cantabile in Europe - Special Lesson 2 | | | | Aa, I totally forgot about Kuroki~~! I thought the guy at the end of the first episode looked familiar, and I knew he’d play a factor with Nodame, and it makes a lot of sense that it was him xDD; For those who have as bad a memory as me, Kuroki was that oboe player | | |
