| 1:35pm | Zombie Loan Review - 84/100 | | | | Few anime combine both shounen- as shoujo-roots in their premises. I’m not sure why there are so few of them, because Zombie Loan shows that this can become pretty successful, as it combines the good points of both styles. The personalities of the characters are those typical in shoujo-anime.... | | |
| 11:50am | Saiunkoku Monogatari - 57 | | | | Ah, finally. After five weeks of absence and recaps, Saiunkoku Monogatari finally returns with episode 57. Oh, how I’ve waited for this series to return; but first: another recap! So yeah. There’s nothing much to say. While it’s awesome to see Shuurei back, a recap remains a recap.... | | |
| 5:08am | Ab.net has been down. Impz is doing smartie work. Anime updates. My lord @_@ |  | | | That happens if you don’t give Yotsuba her anime blog! One day, the green lolis will turn deadly and bite Dreamhost! Well, that is perhaps a fragment of your (and hopefully my) imagination but the host has been particularly unstable. That is the key reason why THAT Anime Blog has been down. Hence,... | | |
| 2:00pm | Like the Clouds, Like the Wind Review - 82/100 | | | | Like the Clouds, Like the Wind is basically what you’d get when you cross Saiunkoku Monogatari with Shoujo Jang Geum no Yume and put the result into movie-format. It’s the umpth attempt to place a child at the centre of adult struggles, in this case an empire which just lost its emperor,... | | |
| 8:30am | Sunday News Bites: September 9th | | | | Hello and welcome to another edition of Sunday News Bites! Although it hardly feels like it, it’s now been three months since we started, and this week, we have a special guest to celebrate that fact- Ryuuki from Saiunkoku Monogatari. Read on to find out the Imperial opinion on this week’s breaking... | | |
| 2:28am | Saiunkoku Monogatari Season 2 will be coming back soon… |  | | | Just in case you haven’t noticed, its official website mentioned that the next new episode for Saiunkoku Monogatari Season 2 (aka Episode 18) will be out on September 15th. That also means we have two more episodes of summary before the next new series. Cheers! | | |
| 7:00pm | Saiunkoku Monogatari II 5 | | | | Whilst Eigetsu contemplates becoming the latest in a long line of converts from HARD GAY to BI, Kouyuu is having a harder time accepting that he too might have to make the switch- and things only go from bad to worse when he becomes convinced he has misplaced his Liang “Feel the power of my bishiness!”... | | |
| 2:48pm | Dennou Coil - A Circle of Children - 14 | | | | “You know, I’m all for giving the animators enough chance to catch up and all, but I’m beginning to get really pissed off when there hasn’t been any Saiunkoku Monogatari or Dennou Coil for FOUR SUCCESSIVE WEEKS! Because yes, this week is yet another recap. This time, told in... | | |
| 8:29am | August Summary | | | | + August 2007 Rankings + Okay, last time the ratings were a bit confusing so let me explain them for a bit. They’re out of 10, just like the school-system. 6,0 is average, and you really shouldn’t look for likable series below it. Anything above 9,0 is awesome, hence definitely recommended.... | | |
| 8:27pm | Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette - 34 | | | | This clearly was one of those building-up episodes. Nothing majorly new happens, and instead attention is focused in developing the characters. Marius continues to visit Cosette, both of them are clearly in love, Gavroche provides food and shelter for two street-kids, Javert is still looking for Jean,... | | |
| 7:36pm | Dennou Coil - A Circle of Children - 13,5 | | | | Recap. It’s nothing special, though. Unlike Bokura no, this really isn’t a series where a recap works. Basically, it was aimed at young children, to explain the plot and characters a bit to them. Throughout, we see a few shots of the voice-actors for Isako and Fumie, explaining this, sometimes... | | |
| 5:24pm | Autumn Season Preview | | | | When I first glanced upon the list of series that were slated for the Fall-Season, I thought that this Season would be even worse than the Fall-Season of 2006. Thankfully, I was wrong; there are quite a few interesting series out there, and there are way less shounen and harem-series than last year.... | | |
| 7:00pm | Saiunkoku Monogatari II 4 | | | | It is a little known fact that oranges can improve HARD GAY performance, and so when they start showing up in Kiyou, questions must be asked- is this a subtle hint that the Kou men aren’t performing up to scratch? Yuushun and Ryuuki prepare to have HARD GAY. | | |
| 2:26pm | Saiunkoku Monogatari II Episode 17 - “浮き沈み七度” |  | | | With the arc of the cult finally coming to a rather fulfilling close, it is the relaxing tour of Sa province that the group deserved. With their lives and jobs on the line for the past few weeks, the stress levels of the party is definitely high and it is perhaps a good time to appreciate the finer... | | |
| 12:42pm | Saiunkoku Monogatari - 56 | | | | Before I start with the usual episode review, I’d like to make a prediction about the rest of this series. Saiunkoku Monogatari is going to have three major arcs. All of these three arcs can be divided into two sub-arcs. The first arc is about the rise of Shuurei. The two sub-arcs are Shuurei’s... | | |
