| 10:04am | Tsukuyomi Moon Phase Review - 65/100 | | | | Ugh what a mess. Before watching, I already had a hunch that watching Tsukuyomi Moon Phase wouldn’t be easy to watch, but I decided to have faith in Akiyuki Shinbo, its director. I’ve loved most of his other works so far: Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei, Pani Poni Dash and Soul Taker were excellent,... | | |
| 10:53pm | Beginning of Summer Season '08 | | | | well actually, mid-way; on one hand, I was waiting for subs to come out first and on the other, my hands were full these last two months but as the saying goes: "better late then never"! I must express my surprise that the summer season has a significant number of shows that I follow, especially in... | | |
| 10:25pm | Wahaha: Hidamari Sketch | | | | With Hidamari Sketch x365 currently airing, I finally decided to watch through all of the original series. Stupid me, I should have done this sooner. Hidamari Sketch is the sort of show that is the most supremely difficult to convince others to watch if they aren’t already well-versed in shows... | | |
| 7:15am | Hidamari Sketch x 365 - First Impressions | | | | Hidamari Sketch x 365 - 01 Hidamari Sketch done better. THIS was a great way to get the series going! Punyaa~ I’m basing a lot off of just the first episode, but I really hope SHAFT keeps what they are doing going. From OP to ED, I was yanked back into the Hidamari universe and completely absorbed... | | |
| 2:33am | Why I don’t like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei | | | | what is going on with my neck? I usually don’t write about shows I downright dislike because I stay far, far away from them in the first place. This probably means that I’ve overlooked some shows I would’ve loved, but I don’t even have enough time to watch what I do now (Hello,... | | |
| 5:57pm | Full Summer Anime Preview -- staff, cast, trailers, pics, stories | | | | For me, the best way to guess how good a coming anime will be, is by looking at its staff: the director and writers and animation director and sound director, and so on. People who have made good shows before tend to make good shows again.I sometimes start watching a show for its voice actors, but I... | | |

| 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,... | | |

| 2:27am | Impressions: Penguin Musume Girl, Nabari no Ou |  | | | Let me just say this to begin with, that this past week and this coming week are terrible times for me to blog. I’ve been severely swamped by real life, so watching anything really is a luxury at this point. Things should be back to normal once May starts, though. Now onto the anime I’ve... | | |
| 4:06am | Pani Poni Dash | | | | I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that the subbers did my job for me in this particular series:So, to state the obvious, the camera is a Fuji F10. Pretty good camera for high sensitivity settings. I have no clue (i.e. forgot) what magical girl Behoimi is doing in the corner. | | |
| 6:23pm | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki 01 |  | | | Frenzy? More like pure batshit insanity, o-Kyouka-sama. I picked this up solely on the strong recommendation from j1mone (one of the bloggers whom I actually check on a daily basis) and also because SS-Eclipse actually subbed it. Honestly, I was kinda surprised and a bit disappointed at them for picking... | | |
| 4:52pm | Seto no Hanayome - It was a little redundant here and there | | | | I didn’t know anything about Seto no Hanayome going in so watching this show really surprised me. Watching the first 3 or so episodes while Nagasumi-kun was in Setouchi made me think that Seto no Hanayome would be a typical romance comedy. The jokes were a little above average and really made... | | |
| 1:31pm | A “Character Study” on Hidamari Sketch with Pictures and Sentences. Duh. |  | | | Written by TheBigN I’m not the only one that’s pleased that someone has finally subbed the Hidamari Sketch specials (now if only Sketchbook could finish at least :P). As you’ve seen on this blog, the series is one of my favorites, and I keep trying to get people to take a look at... | | |
