| 7:30am | Kirino, Why Are You So Awesome? | | | | I haven’t blogged about Bamboo Blade much since I first reviewed it in our fall rankings post, but that doesn’t mean it’s fallen off my radar. Without a doubt, Bamboo Blade is still one of the best shows of the season. Along with Minami-ke, it’s one of those rare comedies that... | | |
| 1:58pm | A mix of Potato, Mayonnaise, and Fluffyness! |  | | | After reading Orion’s post for the second day of christmas about Potemayo and seeing those screencaps of Guchuko scything a door in half and then taping it back together, I was convinced on watching this. Who knew that I had past such a great anime? This was too adorable for words.The origin of... | | |
| 8:04am | potemayo scale action toy | | | | If you are having trouble shopping for anyone who loves Potemayo, I have the perfect gift idea. It’s almost as awesome as Mr. T. | | |
| 10:07pm | 2007 -- The Year in Anime | | | | Another great year. Maybe not as great as 2006, which produced three classics: Simoun, NANA, and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. But 2007 was full of interesting shows.The top ones for me are one show from last spring -- Lucky Star -- and two from this fall -- ef ~a tale of memories~ and Blue Drop: Tenshitachi... | | |
| 9:30am | Moyashimon = Sake, Sake, Sake! | | | | You know, I’m growing to enjoy this show more and more as the emphasis towards alcohol continues. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but it’s certainly managed to increase my interest in this very unique series. Episode 5’s Microbe Theatre was just exceptionally... | | |
| 8:50pm | Seiyuu Awards 2007 -- voting starts | | | | "Seiyuu Awards" is a new Japanese annual awards show that gave out its first set of awards last spring -- the awards for 2006. General voting for the 2007 awards starts now and runs into January, with the show itself scheduled for Japanese TV next March.The categories are fairly straightforward:-- leading... | | |
| 11:04am | Anime Yin and Yang: Feel the Force in the Cartoon | | | | There is a reason why I don’t watch Higurashi (or Jigoku Shoujo for that matter). I attribute it to the negative energies flowing out from the series. As we all know, the world is a delicate balance of Yin (negativity, the shade, darkness etc) and Yang (light, positivity, strength, vigour). We... | | |
| 6:15pm | The 3rd Day of Christmas | | | | On the 3rd Day of Christmas my true love gave to me 3 rain charms 2 Guchuko’s And a cruise on a nice boat for free! If I were list out the Top Ten Things I Want For Christmas, a Chiaki teru teru bouzu figure would definitely rank right up near the top. Really, Minami-ke as a whole has been one... | | |
| 4:00pm | The 2nd Day of Christmas | | | | On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me 2 Guchuko’s And a cruise on a nice boat for free! While School Days was undoubtedly the most talked about show among the summer anime this year, Potemayo was the real sleeper hit, in my opinion. The sheer silliness of the concept and the slapstick... | | |
| 10:44pm | Figure News: 1/1 scale Potemayo figure coming from CM’s | | | | The official Potemayo anime site updated yesterday with the news that a 1/1 scale Potemayo figure is currently in production. Not satisfied with their 1/1 Kokonoe Rin maker CM's is on the job for this one as well, though unlike Rin Potemayo will go on sale in February at the rather more reasonable price... | | |
| 3:19am | Final Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch |  | | | Don’t ask me why it took me three months to watch the final episodes of Hidamari Sketch. It just kinda happened that way. Not that I hate Hidamari or anything, I like it a lot. It’s a great slice of life series with wonderful characters and unique art direction courtesy of Akiyuki Shinbo.... | | |
