| 8:07pm | Kurozuka - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: Kurou remembers what happened to Kuromitsu, and the story takes an interesting turn. Highlights: Matrix, anyone? Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 I remember that during the winter-season, I was very annoyed with Madhouse for some strange reason. If I recall correctly, then apart from... | | |
| 2:52am | Poll results, and a new poll | | | | 28% of the voting visitors to this page would most like to see Denno Coil licensed (my choice, too, but I don’t vote in my polls). Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei came in second with 19%, followed by Potemayo with 14% and, Banner of the Stars III with 10%. The other shows, in order of decreasing votes,... | | |
| 9:44pm | Full Metal Alchemist Review - 85/100 | | | | Yeah, yeah. I’ve been blogging for nearly three years, I’ve written more than 300 reviews so far, and I still haven’t checked out the “big three” of anime: Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell SAC and Full Metal Alchemist. Well, at least I’ve got one of them down now.... | | |
| 6:06am | Oh Edo Rocket |  | | | While waiting for the next batch of DVDs to arrive (actually, the Saturday order is not even fulfilled Monday spike at RACS?), I watched a bit of Oh Edo Rocket. Don was instrumental in attracting my attention to it. The show is very nicely offbeat. I especially appreciated the nipponisms, such as the... | | |
| 10:24pm | 46 New Fall Anime -- full previews (story, trailer, staff, cast, etc.) | | | | With just over two weeks to go until the new season starts, it's time to think about what's coming. Tastes differ, but the shows I myself am most looking forward to are:the mysterious moe romances ef - a tale of melodies and Clannad - After Story the absurd comedy Hyakko (with Orikasa Fumiko and Hirano... | | |
| 5:14pm | Mobile Police Patlabor Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Time for another classic. If you’re one of those people who has only seen “modern” anime of the past decade, and are interested to see what the medium was like before the arrival of Evangelion, in the seventies and eighties (and perhaps the early nineties), then my top recommendation... | | |
| 7:47pm | Tuesday Rumble: July 15th | | | | Dragons’ Den(UK readers, a new series of the real Dragons’ Den begins next Monday at 9pm on BBC2.) Welcome to our regular feature based on the TV program of the same name, in which anime characters try to market their great idea to five fat cats of anime! President Aria made his fortune in the gondola... | | |
| 8:28am | Which Do You Hate More? | | | | Let’s have some seiyuu time, shall we?First off:Jinko Jinko-chan from Itazura na Kiss, one of Kotoko’s best friends. When she screams, she shatters glass within 100km radius from her. When she talks, she makes whoever-unfortunate-enough-to- be-near-her bleed from the ear. When she whispers,... | | |
| 8:46pm | FREEDOM - 06 | | | | Tamaya! *erhem* sorry, but I couldn’t resist. This episode had so many Ooedo Rocket-vibes. Heck, you could nearly say that this is Ooedo Rocket, condensed into just one episode, with the samurais removed, it’s almost scary to see how many similarities there are. And still it doesn’t... | | |
| 9:05am | xxxHolic - 30 | | | | Okay, here’s something I didn’t expect: instead of developing Kohane, this episode decides to ignore her for now and instead focuses on taking care of the spirit we saw in the previous episode that came to live in Doumeki’s sakura trees. It’s basically one big Mah-jong-game... | | |
| 1:21pm | Ghost Hound - 22 | | | | It’s strange. This episode was far from perfect. Like expected after the previous episode, a lot of things indeed had to be crammed in one episode. We still don’t know where Masayuki’s mother went (either that, or it was mentioned somewhere in a previous episode and I didn’t... | | |
| 11:22am | Gundam 00 Review - 83/100 | | | | Gundam 00 has been one of the most ambitious series of the past Autumn-season. It basically tried to show us a view on the world politics 400 years from now, combined with Gundam’s trademark mecha-action. Usually, this comes along with a great risk of screwing up and delving into an emo-fest,... | | |
| 9:05pm | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 24 | | | | And another series where its finale has begun. So far, it hasn’t been anything amazing yet, but I never expected this series to deliver an awesome climax. For now, it was entertaining and without flaws; it was built up well, so I’m happy. The fights were entertaining, and the themes on... | | |
| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |
| 11:12am | Mega Round-Up: January 11th | | | | Fellow anime fans, heed my words- never, ever let a massive backlog build up, for it will crush your very soul. Sadly, there is still much I have to catch up on, but in the meantime enjoy my coverage of what I have managed to get through since mid-December.Reviewed this week: Aria the Origination 1,... | | |
