| 5:55pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #08 — “I AM YOUR FATHER” | | | | Now there’s a lasting image. I’m not late. I’m 2 hours early for the rerun. Impressions: Gee, have I noted Shaft’s massive reuse of footage and cheap techniques this season? Not exactly the strongest episode of the season. We pick up right where we left off last episode,... | | |
| 6:12pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 6 | | | | I'm sure we've all been told how it's better to catch measles when you're a child rather than face it when you're an adult, but in the world of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei that apparently isn't the only "disease" which you should prefer to face in your youth So begins episode six of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou... | | |
| 11:53pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #07 — Dammit, Horie | | | | She’s bloody everywhere this season. Impressions: The first part was kind of odd; simultaneously mundane as well as increasingly bizarre. It started out being just about getting nailed with unexpected extra costs (like having to buy ice after buying meat from Horie Yui, or ink for a printer),... | | |
| 3:31am | Bakemonogatari #1-5 – Vampires, Heavy Crabs and Snails. | | | | People are always divided on shows. I guess it’s just human nature, we all have different opinions. Bakemonogatari seems to have copped a little flak lately but fair enough. It’s odd. The long periods of pan shots in some places could be annoying. The pages and pages of text that are shown... | | |
| 3:32am | Tomonori Kogawa's Cool Cool Bye | | | | A lot of OVAs were produced in the 1980s, most of which have been forgotten today, usually for the best. Some have been forgotten undeservedly. Cool Cool Bye (1986) is one of the ones that's been undeservedly forgotten. Not only does Cool Cool Bye boast one of the most awesome titles ever, it also... | | |
| 9:42pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 5 | | | | If episode four of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was ever so slightly off the show's usual comic pacing, then thank goodness for episode five, which once again had me struggling to breathe with laughter at times.First up on the agenda is the issue of "back-scratching" as Nozomu calls it, or otherwise... | | |
| 8:37pm | RAGE & DROP & Hiatus | | | | This is an automated post created after Nova went AWOL. You may find him around Lonetrek region. Ask for the region’s cheapest hauler. I suppose I should’ve done this as soon as the school was out in spring. I’m too busy to be assed with blogging so Jinx! will be on a hiatus until... | | |
| 11:15am | Meru Otonashi and Japan's Negative Internet Culture | | | | It's funny how the Internet can bring out the best and the worst in people, and all of us seem to change a little when interacting with others online. Depending on various factors -- the kind of virtual interaction, the degree of anonymity of the participants and so on -- even the most passive person... | | |
| 10:20pm | Encroaching Emotion | | | | I recently joined Goodreads, partly because I hope it’ll give me the chance to slap more people in the face with my lit-peen and partly because I find it useful to have a place to look up books I’ve read in the past — going through the bibliographies of past work is a time-consuming and... | | |
| 11:48pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #06 — Manami Who? | | | | "Oh right, we’re paying Kikuko Inoue, better use her." Impressions: A pretty good episode, but part 3 was really cheap and barely had time to introduce the joke before it ended and that leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. If it was short just because the other parts ran long,... | | |
| 2:08pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group B – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Tsukasa, Fuuko, Kana and Nagi. Bossu has upset K-ON fans by eliminating Mio in the first round. Too shocking. Oh well, my main concern is Fuuko, especially with Tsukasa earning quite a large number of votes so early on. Full results after the jump Group B-2 Results:1位 688票 (Hiira... | | |
| 4:49pm | The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Season 2 - Episode 9 (aka Episode 19) | | | | Something was strange I somehow got that feeling. I was half-watching an episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I was half-heartedly hoping that the story arc would end, and I somehow got the feeling I'd see a new reply to my 'Blog soon.- "Andy, new comment."- You don't have to tell me that-... | | |
| 2:07pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group B – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Holo, Yuna, Perrine, and Miki. Next up the high tiers have their turn. If things go as expected, Fuuko can have her long-awaited rematch against Tsukasa. Full results after the jump Group B-1 Results:1位 494票 (Holo @ Spice And Wolf II)2位 148票 (Kazakiri Hyouka @ To Aru Majutsu... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group A – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Yutaka, Minna, Yuuki, and Utau. Tacos wins by double the amount of votes the other 3 received. And no love for Basquash I see. Anyway, it’s time for Group B to begin their first round matches. Full results after the jump Group A-3 Results:1位 365票 (Kobay akawa Yutaka @ Lucky☆Star... | | |
