| 12:00am | Mai Waifu, SHE IS GAR | | | | She agreed to watch Armored Trooper VOTOMS with me. I’ve been meaning to see this show for some time, given it’s reputation as a dark, gritty-as-hell, /m/anly plate of GAR. Yeah sybilant is a Ouran High School Host Club-loving girl who I marathon Aria with, but she saw all 110 episodes... | | |
| 5:19am | Say NO to K-ON | | | | I will never understand why anime glorifies Japanese high school so much. I suppose it’s only adults watching this moe garbage but still you have to think about it.

| 10:30am | Dragonball Evolution: Over 9000 |  | | | A note from the author: This was the 2009 April Fools’ column for Anime Diet. While many of the facts mentioned in here are true, mixed in with them are many wildly erroneous citations. The concept was that as a positive review of Dragonball Evolution, it would be naturally viewed with disbelief... | | |
| 2:35pm | March Summary | | | | An interesting month this time. It featured a lot of very awesome finales, but also quite a few disappointing or lacking endings, unfortunately.
