| 11:43am | RAWr, here my call | | | | I find it interesting that this is the first time I’ve embarked upon this portion of the anime world; by that I mean seasonal affairs. I’ve not been one in my few years of watching anime to keep up with weekly releases of the new digs. There are sweets and bitters to this habit, but I | | |

It’s probably going to be the last summary of 2006, as I’ve got something special in mind for December. :) + Top 8 Series With One Episode Watched + 8: Dai Mahou TougeThe third release of Dai Mahou Touge didn't | | |

| 9:39pm | Series Review: Noein | | | | What can I say about Noein? Well I must admit it was actually better than I had thought. Everything from the storyline, to action scenes, and character development. It has been one of the more enjoyable series that I have watched recently. A science-fiction drama that is not clichéd like many | | |
| 7:33am | Noein: Anime’s “Stand By Me”? | | | | Kazuki Akane, the director of the anime Noein, was quoted as calling the series “anime’s version of Stand By Me” in an ad I saw in the October 2006 issue of Newtype USA. Now I’ve seen the entire Rob Reiner movie but only the first episode of Noein; I suppose the analogy works... | | |
| 3:56am | NHKにようこそ! :05-08: Angel | | | | NHK batch once more! Out of this bunch, episode 7 didn’t impress me as much as the others. I’ve heard some attacks on visuals as well, which sure they can be a bit rough in NHK, but it really hasn’t detracted from the enjoyment for me. (consider Noein did have some strange looking | | |
| 4:48am | Black Lagoon :01-12: Impressed! | | | | Holy Shit I finished it! Well, seeing as Black Lagoon: Second Barrage (any resemblance to The Second Raid? lol) is on the agenda for FALL I really decided to finally sit down and check out Black Lagoon. My words: pretty damn amazing! This series is very strong, possibly entering into my top 10, | | |
| 5:47pm | Figure News: FF Mechanical Arts Brings Us the Old n’ the New | | | | Final Fantasy fanboys can rejoice, for Square Enix has twisted the nipple harder for the good of us all. For the slow, I mean "milk".As we all know, SE ties up with Kotobukiya to produce most of their merchandise. So far, we have had the famed Playarts series, and the various | | |
| 10:12pm | Okie dokes? | | | | I’m not dead, honest. I’m just busy.Coming up later today if I can get my arse in gear; a few more episodes blogged and a lovely, pre-emptive October season preview, because I of course need more anime not to watchAnd Kemonozume is the bestest thing since well, Noein. | | |
| 3:50am | End-Of-The-Month Rankings August 2006 | | | | And with this, I end the month of August. So, it’s time for the monthly rankings. Anyway, we’re going to do the same as the last month. A top of the anime, a top 5 of the best episodes and the best male and the best female. This time, however,I can’t find the time to get all the | | |
| 1:25pm | August Summary | | | | Even though setting up a post like this one takes a while, I love making these kinds of statistics. ^^; + Top 10 Anime With 1 Episode Released + I’m still hoping for Gintama, Yoshinaga-chi no Gargoyle, Hime-sama Goyoujin and all of the other neglected shows to get subbed. In any case, I think... | | |
| 10:02pm | The Animatrix - Beyond | | | | The best art style so far: Studio 4C style! When you combine this with 3D and a big budget, it works out great. Beyond really is a feast for the eyes. Most companies need to understand that there’s more than flashy graphics, 3D, lots of realism and lots of CGI in order to make great graphics. | | |
| 1:25am | Noein Review - 97/100 | | | | I was already addicted with this anime when I saw the first episode. That has never happened before. Noein is a great, wonderful anime, that deserves to be in the spotlights. But I won’t tell too much about the story, because this anime is great when you find everything out by yourself. This | | |
| 5:38am | Kemonozume - 1 - Delicious gut-munching innovation | | | | The moment I clapped eyes on its highly evocative promo art, I knew I'd love Kemonozume. It just looks so damn cool, completely in another league to the typical "doll face" anime style; here characters look and move like real people, the fluidity of movement and facial expression | | |
