| 9:36am | Sgt. Frog Hasn’t Invaded Yet But There’s Still a Sliver of Hope | | | | FACT: There are still six months left in 2008. FACT: Still no Keroro. The last six months have seemed like doom-and-gloom for ADV Films with their glossy magazine folding (and the rebirthed version also shutting down) and a license financing dispute that forced them to presumably sell Gurren Lagann to... | | |

| 3:21pm | Kurenai Review - 86/100 | | | | Kurenai is quite possibly the most solid of the series that came out during the past spring season. It’s a well-written series. If you liked True Tears and want to see how it would have been with a bit less romance and a bit more action, then it’s likely that you’ll like Kurenai.... | | |
| 2:45pm | Kurenai - 12 | | | | Ah, glad to see a solid ending for this series. It’s not anything special, but it closed off this series very solidly, without leaving any threads open and with a satisfying conclusion that goes beyond the “save the girl and return home”. The final fight was also really nicely animated,... | | |
| 4:39pm | Red Garden Anime, Volume 3 (English) | | | | I don't get it. I have this nice neat pile where I keep *every* single shipping slip from every single anime or manga I get from the wishlist. So, why is it that everytime I look, I can't find the receipt for the thing I am reviewing today? I have receipt gremlins and it's beginning to freak me out.Will... | | |
| 11:23am | Kure-nai - To Build A Home | | | | Kure-nai is a simple but unique and charming series produced by a favourite studio of mine, Brains Base (Baccano!, Kamichu!), and directed by Kou Matsuda, who is most identifiable for his work on Red Garden. Red Garden was recommended to me numerous times for its unique direction and... | | |
| 5:36pm | Kurenai - 07 | | | | Now that we’ve entered the second half of this series, the main storyline pops up again. It’s pretty early this time, in comparison to most other series in the same situation. Five episodes will be plenty of time to get a good climax out of this series, and I wonder what kind of tricks... | | |
| 3:52am | Oscar & Hammerstein Present: kure-nai: The Musical | | | | It’s the hot new off-off-off-off-off-off-off-of f-Broadway production! Guaranteed to win a Tony award, if things that are that off Broadway can actually win those things! I literally have no idea what I just watched, but it wasawesome. Totally pure filler, but awesome pure filler. I have always... | | |
| 1:47am | The Basics of Basics - Mid-Season Update | | | | I’ve been busy lately; and during this time I appreciate my anime viewing habits all the more. In some ways, as adults, anime is a luxury that few can afford in excess–and it’s not so much a cost issue but a time and effort issue. Thanks to things like fansubbing and lawless digital... | | |
| 12:57pm | [Whitelight] Neo Angelique Abyss Episode 2 is uppity up~ |  | | | Episode 2 is finally done after a tremendous effort to make the lines as cheesy as it is. Just joking! Honestly though, Neo Angelique Abyss is surprising me with its production values. I cannot believe it myself because I am truly entertained by the show. Sure, it’s no stellar drama like Red Garden... | | |
| 11:42am | Kurenai: here’s to the child and all she has to teach us | | | | It seems that the lolicon dabacle is mercifully dead and buried so we can now all concentrate on what Kurenai is and does rather than what the misguided individuals think it is. It’s certainly an unusual series, both in terms of aesthetics and storytelling - this is to me a shining example of... | | |
| 5:52pm | Miyuki Sawashiro’s Desirable Pigeonhole | | | | Just looking up some basic information on Sawashiro surprised me. For starters, she was born in 1985, so she’s just 23 this year. And already she is so prolificalbeit mostly in otaku-ish productions. Typecasted in the Oujo-sama type roles, she is definitely one of the go-to girl when you hear... | | |
