| 11:18pm | Summer '09 Previews | | | | With several shows that I enjoy carrying on from spring; add 14 new ones, plus Haruhi new episodes, Zetsubou Sensei 3rd and Ookami 2nd season; this summer looks very promising! The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this... | | |

| 7:42am | Summer 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | This seems to happen every time, just when I’m finally feel like I’ve got used to the season’s mix of shows, a new season comes along and offers a completely different set of shows to watch.At the start of the spring season, I was unsure if there’d be as many quality titles as the past several... | | |
| 8:30pm | The Good, The Bad, and the Moe: Spring 2009 Anime Rankings - Part 1 | | | | How many references can you identify? Incoming Dekkai Huge Post of Long. Yes, that’s right, I’ve decided to satisfy my penchant for attaching meaningless numbers to things by putting together yet another Anime Season Ranking Post. Haven’t done this for a couple years now, come to... | | |
| 4:40am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Hatsukoi Limited | | | | In my preview I noted that, though J.C. Staff has a very scattered record of late, they often do a good job with school-centered series that don’t involve fighting. (Toradora, Potemayo, Honey and Clover being examples of shows without fighting and Shana, Zero’s Familiar, and To Aru Majutsu no Index... | | |
| 11:39pm | Pani Poni Dash! OVA — Dai Maho! | | | | Hardcore Kick the Can. Oh right, I totally forgot that this existed. Impressions: I’m not even really sure what to say here. I mean it’s Pani Poni Dash. It doesn’t make a ton of sense no matter how you cut it. It’s nice to see the franchise still living since I really think... | | |

| 1:00pm | The Slippery Slope of a Super Speedy Shopping Trip to Akihabara | | | | So last month I had the once in a lifetime (though hopefully not) opportunity to go to Tokyo, and luckily enough, despite the super-short 4-day business trip, still had time to roam around the city, especially on the first and last day of our trip. If you’ve read my blog post more than a month ago... | | |
| 7:30am | Spring 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | Just within the last few days, winter’s frigid fingers have finally loosened their grip around where I live. We had been experiencing high temperatures well below freezing and that’s not conducive to getting in the spring mindset. Yesterday we got into the 50’s and today our high was 65˚F (18˚C);... | | |
| 8:04am | Winter Anime Impressions – Munto TV | | | | Continuing my impressions of the new winter season is the new show from KyoAni – Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Seikei or just Munto. The original OVA, from 2003 and 2005, is the only show of KyoAni that I haven’t seen and it is also KyoAni’s only original work. When I realized that... | | |
| 5:57am | First Look Fairs: Akikan and White Album |  | | | A double feature for today, for two shows that could not be more different from one another. Akikan “Girls that are the incarnation of soda cans”: this is a premise that is either bold in its sheer ludicrousness–the thought “they’ve really run out of ideas for harem romances,... | | |

| 10:27pm | Sixten enters the Toradora bandwagon |  | | | He had a seat reserved, apparently. I would not say that Sixten gloats, but let’s just say — he quotes his own prediction: [] it might be Index or it might be Toradora, but I have a feeling that a new J.C.Staff classic will emerge this fall. It’s not as much of a sure thing as when I predicted... | | |
