| 10:50pm | Force Recon (First Impressions): Valkyira Chronicles - 01 |  | | | Yeah I’d be sad too if I was you rookie, real disappointed in how you did out there Well while Valkyria has lost plenty of points for realism I suppose that since it is based on a turn based game with mild real time or so I have been told I suppose it is inevitable that the action isn’t going... | | |
| 3:11pm | A short look at Natsu no Arashi! |  | | | A most intersting show by SHAFT this season featuring a couple of girls who have the ability to travel back in time. I didn’t realise Natsu no Arashi was animated by SHAFT until they started doing references to their previous works such as Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei though the animation style did... | | |
| 3:07am | SZS ODA |  | | | At the meeting a week ago, I caught a two-part DVD special Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, which in better times would’ve been called “OAV”. Weird stuff. It seems like humour for the sake humour, and a very heavy-handed presentation at that. So, not my cup of tea. On the upside, I am happy... | | |
| 10:22am | Manga review: Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei - Volume 1 | | | | I have to confess that I'm not a huge manga reader (although I have caught the bug somewhat so it is growing on me), but if there was one series I was always going to pounce on it was an official translation of the (often thought to be untranslatable) Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Anyone who follows this... | | |
| 8:32am | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Third Season Exposed? |  | | | An apparent leak reveals the possibility of a new series of sublime if abstruse parody anime Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, which would bring the successful franchise up to its third season. The source goes so far as to offer the date for the airing of the show as being July. The particular board this rumour... | | |
| 8:31am | Memories of Despair | | | | Ah yes I was remembering how AWESOME Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was last night. As I listened to the always cool album “The Alphabetchadupa” I contemplated SZS and what impact it had upon my anime viewing. The meta info below is from Melative for those of you interested. Uhoh! Looks like... | | |
| 11:13pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 3 (Completed) | | | | Who knew that despair could be so much fun? For two series and now this OVA, the art of negativity has induced much hilarity and many, many smiles, but as ever all good things must come to an end, and thus this is really, officially, "sayonara" for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.This third and final episode... | | |
| 3:30pm | T.H.A.T. Spring 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Lets all welcome back one of the best harems ever, also led by an occasional trap. I’d like to first thank the huge wealth of comments we receive each time we do a preview. I spend many, many hours of my time putting these together, and it makes it feel very much like my time was well worth it... | | |
| 7:30am | Spring 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | Just within the last few days, winter’s frigid fingers have finally loosened their grip around where I live. We had been experiencing high temperatures well below freezing and that’s not conducive to getting in the spring mindset. Yesterday we got into the 50’s and today our high was 65˚F (18˚C);... | | |
| 7:53am | Minami-ke Okaeri 9 - I See (Dead Horses Being Beaten) |  | | | Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such blog posts as After heckling everyone on this blog, among others, for so long, the green-haired trappy overlord of THAT has put his pump-wearing foot down. So, my penance begins with forcing myself to watch through a rather humdrum episode... | | |
| 1:35am | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - 03 |  | | | OP: “Kūsō Rumba (空想ルンバ)” by Kenji Ohtsuki - Holy crap! I was expecting the change this time, but this was still probably the best revision yet. I loved the paper dolls, as well as all of the other frantic action. There were also guest vocals differing from the usual Zetsubou girls this... | | |
| 7:27pm | Maria†Holic ep. 7 |  | | | [ Episode 7: The Suspicious Black Underwear ] A hopeless pervert as usual Fuck yes, 20th Century Boys parody at the end. I thought that was great especially with Mariya as Friend. Good timing too as the DVD for the first 20th Century Boys live action movie was just released pretty recently. Anyways,... | | |
| 5:15am | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #03 — Lose/Lose Situation | | | | Only because it’s over. Impressions: Man, where’d these bloody OVAs come from today? Oh well, this was an excellent episode, so I’m not complaining. I was a little disappointed that the third and final part of this OVA series had none of the class in it, barring a loli Kafuka. It... | | |
