| 5:40pm | Crackdown on Anime Piracy The Sequel | | | | For lack of a better titleWhile it wasn’t Odex this time, they have become synonymous with anime piracy, so they get the blame. Nope, this time it was Showgate inc.A quick check on Animenewsnetwork came up with thisJapanese anime production and distribution company Toshiba Entertainment Inc. will... | | |
| 8:47pm | Thoughts & OSTs | | | | I have been slacking from writing posts lately, but that’s because I’m preparing for a retreat (where I’m supposed to be a counselor), and packing for my trip back to college. This post will have to last for about a week, which seems only to be a little while, yes, but then again,... | | |
| 7:20am | Review: Noein–Let’s Do the Time Warp Again? (70%) |  | | | The title character finally reveals himself to be Some shows suffer from a lack of original ideas and bad stories. Others, like Noein, suffer from an excess of admirable ambition and the need to cram ideas into one series, ideas that weigh so heavily on the foundation of the story that it simply collapses... | | |
| 4:42am | Kaiba 10 - The Past Is Another Identity | | | | Icarus before his fall Some plot points are answered in this crucial flashback episode, and we begin to understand the significance of the show’s title. Warp’s powers are now clearer. His body is nigh-indestructable, as well stated before; he also has amazing powers of recall which is what... | | |
| 8:11pm | King of Bandits Jing Review - 77,5/100 | | | | Hiroshi Watanabe intrigues me. No matter what kind of utter crap he produces, he intrigues me like no other. The guy is a brilliant writer, he has a bizarre sense of humour, and at the same time he can come up with the most terrible and cheesy storylines ever. The guy has also been around for a decade... | | |
| 2:38am | Osamu's new show | | | | I've been too busy to write about the new batch of shows that came out a few weeks back until now, but there were a number of nice surprises among the bunch. First and foremost was the new series by Osamu Kobayashi, a show with the windy title Mahoutsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora. Not knowing... | | |
| 4:12am | Mike’s Belated, Grand High Roundup of Summer 2008 | | | | AX 2008 and its associated coverage put the new Summer 2008 season on hold for me. I’ve finally gotten around to actually watching a few of the new shows, though, and these are my thoughts. (An entry here does not guarantee regular blogging later.) All impressions are drawn from 1 or 2 episodes.... | | |
| 9:40pm | Macross Frontier Episode 7 - First Attack | | | | This episode basically distills Macross Frontier down to two of its core components - there is fighting, and there is singing. And the fighting is good (aka Satelight blew their budget on the CG here), and the singing is good (as it always is). Although it was great fun to watch, there’s nothing... | | |
| 3:32pm | Random CG Effects #1: Kanon | | | | By this point, I think it’s been made pretty clear that I get far too amused by the most pointless things in anime, as undoubtedly evidenced by the fact that I once made a whole post about a Yorkie bar appearing in Noein, not to mention all those Mikan Watch posts.One of the other things | | |
| 7:13am | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Obligatory introduction episode. Highlights: Nice fight-scene, though. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 As for the series I’m not going to blog: - Antique Bakery is hilarious, and knows exactly when to take itself seriously, but I feel that I won’t have much to write about... | | |
| 7:12pm | [LianYL] My Top 3 Anime Of This Season - Tentatively Disclaimerish | | | | This season being Summer 2008 mind you, in case any smart alecs link in from Google and start spouting nonsense about how awesome “insert 201X Spring anime title” is. This is a really difficult article to compose. Firstly, the standard of this season is as low as an eighty-year-old’s... | | |
| 2:00pm | Summer 2008 Anime Preview | | | | It’s that time again: It’s time to look at what anime is airing in the Summer 2008 season. Shows are listed in alphabetical order. There are 7 possible levels of ratings that I’ll give a show:Will definitely blog itMay blog itWill definitely watch itMay watch itMay watch it if I hear good things... | | |
| 6:47pm | 2008 Summer Anime Preview Pool Party and Daiquiri Making Contest | | | | Hot fun in the summer time. Obligatory mention that I’m going to end up watching the first episode of almost everything except sequel series anyway and doing a very very brief summarized tagline once I have actual information and can form an opinion that isn’t based on marketing and smoke... | | |
| 5:57pm | Full Summer Anime Preview -- staff, cast, trailers, pics, stories | | | | For me, the best way to guess how good a coming anime will be, is by looking at its staff: the director and writers and animation director and sound director, and so on. People who have made good shows before tend to make good shows again.I sometimes start watching a show for its voice actors, but I... | | |
