| 2:57am | Why am I even attracted to shy girls? | | | | Some of my all time favorite girls in anime and games are the most shy of girls EVAR. I really don’t get why I like such a cliche type of girl in anime and games. I didn’t always like shy girls either when I first started getting into anime, and really only started to like them when I entered... | | |
| 6:33am | Rising interest in Itazura na Kiss | | | | Amazing what a change in scenery and setting does for a series. From the start I liked Itazura na Kiss. It was entertainingly boring (a good thing). More times than not romantic comedies are overly fast-paced and have fanservice dripping from the cracks. However, in the case of Itazura na Kiss, things... | | |
| 4:33am | A-Kon 19: Dallas’ Best! | | | | Sadaharu is too cute for you not to read this.I had the pleasure of getting to go to my first ever anime convention today; a 35 dollar pleasure. The annual Dallas A-Kon event took place May 30th (yesterday) and May 31th (today) and will end end June 1st (tomorrow). I won’t deny that people from... | | |
| 2:35pm | Yunosuke, being a male host in Japan | | | | To some, especially if you watch Anime like Ouran High School Host Club, this idea may not be as foreign to you. We are all familar with the Geisha’s in Japan pampering and keeping company for male customers. However there is a newer trend that has males pampering females, and some of those women... | | |
| 11:52pm | T.H.A.T.’s Summer 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | Summer timeand the livin’s easy Since Impz has bailed on us for three weeks to go to some academic conference, the duty of creating the THAT Anime Blog Summer 2008 Preview falls to me. Thankfully it’s not a fall or spring preview or I’d have to kill him. This preview uses pretty much the... | | |
| 10:58pm | FUNi’s Slow Ouran Info Roll-Out | | | | Yeees, FUNimation has started their announcements for Ouran High School Host Club– and not a moment too soon, seeing as they announced it last July, and I think they’d had it for a while before then –starting with the director, who will be Caitlin Glass (aka Winry in Fullmetal Alchemist... | | |
| 10:11am | CODE GEASS R2 - 08: How to get out alive | | | | Yay, enough Zeros for everyone! I will honestly admit that I wasn’t exactly thrilled to watch this week’s episode, firstly because I’m sick and I was too excited about songs and artists after watching a cute video called Replay by Shine and then listening to Timeless in an English... | | |
| 2:38pm | Japanese law student blawgs anime/manga/light novels | | | | Just a quick post on a Japanese blog I just stumbled on - apparently it is written by a law school student in Japan. The blogger comments on (among other things) anime/manga/light novels from a legal perspective and also writes parody fanfics with a legal slant. For example, there is a parody of how... | | |

| 3:41am | the veteran editorial blogger treadmill |  | | | It’s really, really easy to burn out doing editorials. You have to keep thinking of interesting things to say. There usually isn’t some set schedule like if you’re blogging episodes, nor can you always just keep sniffing out new content like with news. The other problem is that... | | |
| 5:36am | Summer Season Preview | | | | Well, it’s time to start looking at what the next season has to offer again. The summer-season is again going to be relatively small, but there are quite a number of potential gems in it. There’s also a wide variety of different genres; there’s slice of life, action, adventure, mystery,... | | |
| 5:25am | Soul Eater Is A Bit Lacking |  | | | Yes, I’m quite aware this is a *pretty* late post. Forgive me, I just made this blog a few days ago. But I’ve been thinking about posting about Soul Eater ever since I saw episode 1 while I was still temp blogging at Heterochromia. The reason I am finally blogging about it 6 episodes in... | | |
