| 1:50pm | [Ascaloth/Akira] Nodame Cantabile ~Paris Chapter~, Episode 7 | | | | When a new female character of some significance enters the plot, and threatens to pose some serious competition to the female lead in matters of romance, what is a guy to do to avoid the Harem Male Lead label that befalls so many unassuming male characters? Why, snub the both of them to concentrate... | | |
| 3:55am | Nodame Cantabile: Paris Chapter: Nodame “MUKYA” Kick | | | | Nodame is full of surprises. Or else, this is just the power of love. At any rate, Nodame spin-kick was amazing. I wasn’t quite aware how I’d missed the classical-music antics of Nodame and Chiaki until I started up the second season last night (after a suitably moving re-watching of Toki... | | |
| 9:25pm | Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen #03-06: Redemption | | | | If you were not aware of it, I had frowned upon the pacing of the 2nd episode of Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen and was pondering over whether the show itself was worth an episodic blog treatment. Surely I would still watch the show for my love of classical music and Nodame’s antics, but whether... | | |

| 3:39pm | [Ascaloth/Akira] Nodame Cantabile ~Paris Chapter~, Episode 5 | | | | The question of Chiaki’s apparently absent father is something that has not been touched on in very much detail in the first season of Nodame Cantabile, and it is only in the Paris Arc that this particular thread of the guy’s character development really starts getting fleshed out in greater... | | |
| 12:38am | What I watched recently | | | | Chaos;Head - 06 Paranoia layered upon more paranoia; the plot thickens. Who is a friend and who is a foe? Who can Taku really trust? What is real and what is a delusion? Is there more than one reality? Rimi seems to way too sweet, and Taku’s sudden need to be close to her seems like a... | | |
| 1:06am | What I watched recently | | | | Clannad After Story - 03 Nothing but a web of lies, eh? First the fake girlfriend, and now Okazaki as the fake brother. I’m looking forward to his showdown with Sunohara next episode. It’s nice to have a little break from the usual “Okazaki messing with the twit Sunohara just for... | | |
| 6:37am | [Ascaloth/Akira] Nodame Cantabile ~Paris Chapter~, Episode 4 | | | | Sometimes, one can get so used to the status quo, irritating as it may be at times, that the sudden removal of that very status quo could suddenly leave one very disorientated.

| 5:53am | [Ascaloth/Akira] Nodame Cantabile ~Paris Chapter~, Episode 2 | | | | Just as my choice of the first picture of the article might suggest, viewing Episode 2 of ~Paris Chapter~ has left me in an altogether foul mood.
