| 5:37am | Last Exile Tuesdays |  | | | by dm00Steampunk Last month a confluence of events inspired a bunch of us over at a place where we like to hang out to watch Last Exile again, as a group. It’s a bit of an odd decision — it’s not like it is an anniversary or anything, it just seemed to be in the air. Coincidentally,... | | |
| 5:40pm | Spring Season Preview - Movie and OVA Edition | | | | I was pretty shocked when I went through the list of movies for the upcoming season. Seriously, while it’s going to be packed with TV-series, it will be incredibly dry in the movie department. I only saw two really good movies that will premiere, and that’s it. The rest all were cheap cash-ins... | | |
| 1:30pm | Magical Girl Madoka Magica 4 – Things Aren’t Going to End Well, Are They? |  | | | There was plenty that happened in this episode that could be used to fuel speculation. At the same time, I’m not much of one for speculation; I prefer to let the work come to me at its own pace. Guessing and coming up with outlandish theories to fit what we know so far is not the game for me.... | | |
| 4:32pm | Nekomimi Mode DESU! – Moon Phase Collection Review |  | | | Title: Moon Phase Alternative Title: Tsukuyomi Moon Phase (月詠 -Moon Phase-) Published by: Madman Entertainment (Australia), Funimation (US), Revelation Films (UK) Based on: Moon Phase manga series by Keitaro Arima Audio: English and Japanese dubs Subtitles: English Aspect Ratio: Anamorphic Widescreen... | | |

| 1:19am | First Impressions – Madoka Magica | | | | My exposure to the work of Shinbo Akiyuki has been admittedly limited. I'm familiar with his comical work like Pani Poni Dash! and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, but have mostly glossed over his more serious stuff. Of his recent shows, I've only seen Dance In the Vampire Bund, which I have extremely mixed... | | |
| 5:30pm | The Secret Santa and Holiday Giveaway Round Up | | | | Without a doubt this year’s Secret Santa built on the success we had last year and was even more stressful than we could have possibly imagined. We tripled the number of participants and thankfully we did not have to pick shows for anyone like we did last year. The big winners this year were Dennou... | | |
| 5:30pm | Secret Santa 2010 Project Reveal | | | | And now the part you have all been waiting for. The Secret Santas are revealed, the ancient conspiracy is foiled, and the destined couple finally consummate their relationship. This is the master list of all the participants, what they reviewed, and who gave them their recommendations. I know that several... | | |
| 12:05am | Reverse Thieves Secret Santa 2010 - Pani Poni Dash! | | | | Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, I'm writing out this stupid song 'cos I don't have much to say, hey! Ahem, sorry about that in the spirit of Christmas and all that other wonderful stuff, here's something a little bit different to while away your Christmas Eve - my entry for this year's... | | |
| 9:33pm | Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru 10 – Going In Some Crazy Directions | | | | Well, what do you know, looks like this show is going full on scifi fantasy. Last week, it was time travelers, this week, it’s aliens and ghosts. That’s not to say that this episode was driven by the scifi/fantasy elements. Rather, they were used mainly as convenient devices to facilitate... | | |
| 11:29pm | Negima!? 8 — first sighting of the “Zetsubou-da!” visual trope | | | | by dm00 11:26 into episode 8 of Negima!?, suddenly: I like to think of this visual trope as the Zetsubou-sweat-drop. Negima!? aired from October 4, 2006 to March 28, 2007; the first season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei followed a few months later, starting July 7, 2007. Maybe I should take another... | | |
| 7:54pm | Winter Season Preview - Movie and OVA Edition | | | | As usual, with every seasonal preview I also realize a preview that discusses the upcoming movies and OVAs (the ones who are slated for December, January and February in this case). Note that it usually takes nine months for the movies to actually get released, but this seems like a good place to look... | | |
| 6:35pm | Yet the Town Keeps Going 5 – Love is in the Air | | | | The follies and awkwardness of young love. That was the theme of this episode and, in retrospect, the last episode as well. Instead of Hotori, this time it was about Toshiko in the 1st half and the unexpected star Takeru, Hotori’s little brother, in the 2nd. This wasn’t as laugh out loud... | | |
| 12:39am | The curse of ep.7 |  | | | In the comments (not body) of the post at Chizumatic Steven writes that AsoIku 07 has severily tried his patience: I’m having a strange reaction today: I don’t want to watch the rest of this episode. [..] Last night I thought I’d pounce on it first thing this morning, but it’s... | | |
