| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 7:18am | Some quick first Impressions: Sora no Manimani | | | | Sora no Manimani Short Synopsis: Our lead character joins the local astronomy club and falls in love. Chance of me Blogging: 0% (Nope) Ah, dammit. Just when I thought that this Summer Season did so well in avoiding the biggest cliché in the book (the childhood friend), Sora no Manimani comes around,... | | |
| 1:29pm | Ristorante Paradiso - 03 | | | | Short Synopsis: Nicoletta tells Claudio about her mother. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Good) I’m really not sure what’s up with this show’s tendency to spoil the biggest plot twists of every next episode but for some strange reason it works pretty well. Since this is a series that’s... | | |
| 11:54am | Cross Game - 03 | | | | Short Synopsis: Kou gets invited to substitute in a local baseball team. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) Oh this show is SO good. It may be one of the dark horses of the season, but in three episodes it has already done what most series can’t even do in twice that amount. Don’t get fooled... | | |
| 3:12am | Saki 02 & K-ON 01-02; C-C-C-Combo Post | | | | I know that this has probably been said a plethora of times previously, butshe came. Oooh, big dilemma, do I blog Saki, do I blog K-ON, both? Neither?! I kinda want to do both, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep up that pace, sincewell, I’m lazy. However, these two shows have... | | |
| 10:45pm | Final Thoughts: Real Drive | | | | By the late 21st century, the internet has evolved into something more advanced- the Metal (“Meta Real”), an ocean-like virtual reality filled with the thoughts and emotions of all the people who use it. Awakening into this new reality is Haru Masamichi, an ocean diver who spent 50 years in a coma... | | |
| 6:14pm | Owen on Mnemosyne |  | | | Apropos Funi’s traditional failure to license anything that I would buy, here’s what my database refers for Mnemosyne: Take the random chaos of Gantz, the gore, sex, and plot of Bible Black, the deep symbolism and raped mythology of Evangelion, a bit of cyberpunk ala Real Drive, a bit of... | | |
| 4:29am | TNT GT3 ‘09 Con Coverage/D.F. Trip | | | | Had planned to go to the TNT GT3 2009 for three days but i ended up only going the last day. Saturday i got sick, really sick! I spent all Friday night hugging the toilet and puking my guts out. When they say don’t drink the water they mean it! It always happens to me, i drink something while... | | |
| 8:38am | 2008: Year in Review |  | | | 2008 was a interesting year for anime, as there were sequels to previous seasons of many series this year, along with new orginal shows, and manga adapted shows also. I thought that as a whole, anime in 2008 offered something for everyone. Best Male Lead: Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass R 2) Runner... | | |
| 8:22pm | 2008 Summary - Part II | | | | I originally wanted to wait with posting this until Porfy no Nagai’s final episode got released, but its time is nearly running out here. The Share-uploaders have a very cruel sense of humour: out of all the episodes they could have picked to delay, it became that one. In any case, here’s... | | |
| 1:40pm | 2008 Summary - Part I | | | | Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year. This time, I decided to split this entry in two halves, otherwise the list would simply become too huge. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, after Porfy no... | | |
| 3:08am | 39 New Winter Anime -- full previews: staff, cast, pic, story, trailer | | | | The winter season is usually the least exciting of the year, but there are always surprises. Last year, there were true tears and Spice & Wolf. Here are some of this year's possibilities, followed by a complete preview of almost all the new shows:-- Genji Monogatari Sennenki is a new anime based... | | |
| 1:09am | Marathon 2008: Third Round | | | | And another round in the bag, with some rehash. As previously mentioned, links to reflections can be found on the year-end marathon page. Honestly, this round pissed me off more than the last, and two of these series I have yet to finish, but I feel I’ve had enough to assess them in the final... | | |
| 2:54pm | The 2nd anniversary of Iwa ni Hana, and a wishlist for 2009 | | | | Ladies and gentlemen - Iwa ni Hana enters the second anniversary this month! The past two years have been fruitful. Not that I have been able to sustain interest in anime/manga continuously throughout my life - there have been lapses for years at a stretch. Two years ago, I was brought back into the... | | |
