| 7:21am | Aoi Hana - 04 | | | | I love the subtitle of the Noise timeslot: “War Cry of Animation Monster. GAOOOOO!!” Let alone the awesome roar, it’s ironic how despite such an aggressive motto, the past two series of the timeslot have been very charming and very quiet slice of life series. At the moment, I’m... | | |

| 12:49am | K-ON! - 01 |  | | | OP: “Cagayake! GIRLS” by Aki Toyosaki with Yoko Hikasa, Satomi Satou and Minako Kotobuki – Huh..cute high school girls and a really bad, yet slightly catchy song by the voice actresses. Where have I seen this formula before? Summary: On the first day of high school, Hirasawa Yui... | | |
| 12:29am | Impressions: NANA, Honey and Clover, Tytania and a lot of other ones | | | | So I haven't been around, but I've still been watching a bunch of stuff. I don't know if I'll hit it all here, but I'm going to try to get the highlights. NANA: So I started watching this show because of Paradise Kiss. I still think ParaKiss is an amazing show, despite leaving the side characters in... | | |
| 4:21pm | Impz first winter impressions - Genji Monogatari, Man-Whore ALERT!!! |  | | | This is actually Genji. A guy. Yes, the character design is a tad quirky. By the way, this is Thirteensugars’ idea for the title because she was screaming man-whore for the whole twenty minutes of this show (we were watching it together). I am literally going crazy with the number of “THIS... | | |
| 8:10pm | Kuroshitsuji Ending Theme - I’m ALIVE! | | | | This song is sung entirely in English. The only other English-language anime songs I recall are why, or why not from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Do You Want To from Paradise Kiss. There’s probably more LOTS MORE that I haven’t heard of (see comments for examples).I’m ALIVE!Vocals:... | | |
| 6:39pm | A Minor Masterpiece: Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ Ep. 8 | | | | I've enjoyed this show from the start, but episode 8 was a minor masterpiece. It combined story, acting, character design, animation and backgrounds to create a really memorable anime episode.This show is at a higher aesthetic level than any other current show, with the possible exception of Kara no... | | |
| 2:38am | Osamu's new show | | | | I've been too busy to write about the new batch of shows that came out a few weeks back until now, but there were a number of nice surprises among the bunch. First and foremost was the new series by Osamu Kobayashi, a show with the windy title Mahoutsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora. Not knowing... | | |
| 2:30pm | Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora ep.02 | | | | Sorry for the late entry but it's a bit hard to muster the enthusiasm to watch this when you're tired. Sometimes I wonder if this show would actually last longer than 10-15 minutes if it doesn't stretch out some of its scenes. Having said that, the quiet, seemingly pointless scenes are also part... | | |
| 7:54am | Summer already? I’m barely down with spring! | | | | Backlog is a blogger’s worst enemy. Week after week, I download episodes of Soul Eater and Macross and every other show I’m following and they all just end up being chucked into the ‘Anime Have Not Seen’ folder, and they sit there and gather electronic dust as I promise, almost... | | |
