| 9:50pm | 9th Day of Christmas: When Plaid Was Popular Again |  | | | Running for over a year (60+ episodes) and still going is the magical Shugo Chara!, which was significant to me in being the new, modern staple of the mahou shoujo genre since Cardcaptor Sakura. Here the down-to-earth Amu just tries to live her life but is suddenly thrust into a world-saving mission.... | | |
| 2:51am | Counting down to the count down | | | | I had planned to spend some time this evening rambling on about anime endings, but I’m dead tired. Instead, here are a couple of honorable mentions, plus an extra. The countdown begins tomorrow. While it was introducing the characters, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was fine absurd humor. Later episodes... | | |
| 2:30pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - 02 |  | | | OP: “Kūsō Rumba (空想ルンバ)” by Kenji Ohtsuki and Zetsubō Shōjo-tachi - The same trippy stuff we got last time, with a few slight differences here and there. Summary: Chiri is alerted that Nozomu will be seeing her for a house visitation, but when he finally arrives at her house,... | | |
| 1:15pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #02 — Epileptics Beware | | | | It is entirely too early in the morning to deal with Shaft. Impressions: I’m going to be blunt. Overall, I despised this episode, and it’s 100% the fault of the direction. There wasn’t any problem with the content or anything like that. The 1970s style for part 1 and the ultra shoujo... | | |
| 7:53pm | Reasons Toradora is the Best Tsundere Show | | | | 1. Awesome opening theme. It’s remniscent of one of the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei endings and it even has an 80s style drum machine.2. The best Rie Kugimiya performance ever. Not that I usually hate her, but her Taiga definitely stands out as great to me.3. J.C. Staff taking themselves seriously.... | | |
| 2:51am | Winter 2008 – 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | I figure it’s appropriate to start writing this on Turkey Day. Physically, I’m stuffed and yet I’m trying to figure out a way to have another piece of my Mom’s apple pie – it’s simply impossible to make a better pie crust then hers. Mentally, I’m stuffed from the huge number of great fall... | | |
| 2:58am | T.H.A.T. Winter 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | KeyAni fanboy, reporting in. Once again I have taken on the responsibilities of creating the monstrosity known as THAT’s various season previews. At least since I’m doing it from the start Impz can’t whine and pawn it off on me halfway through. Plus, I’m OCD about getting... | | |
| 6:40pm | Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei | | | | I AM IN DESPAIR!!! I’ve watched 4 episodes of Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and you know what? IT WAS NOT FUNNY AT ALL :( If episode 5 + 6 doesn’t make me laugh I’m dropping this I just can’t stand watching an Anime which has both NO POINT and is RANDOM! And I’m not talking... | | |
| 2:11pm | Nendoroid Nozomu Itoshiki | | | | Finally Nendoroid Nozomu Itoshiki is up for preorder! Featuring Nozomu from the anime series Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, this will be one of my first male Nendoroid. He is scheduled for release in March 2008 and will be retailing for 3,500 yen.

| 3:44am | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Sinusoids | | | | Sorry for the Math Terminology! Really, I think it’s better to say that my interest in this Anime is sinusoidal. What I mean is that it’s comedic moments are sinusoidal. Sorry for using mathematical terminology here, but it’s the best way to describe my feelings for it. For example,... | | |
| 7:56am | Introduction: Tril the Blogger (an Essential Demographic) |  | | | As you know, Divine was a valuable contributor here at Random Curiosity, and since his departure Omni has been looking for someone to help out. I can only hope I’ll be of some service as a new team member here, and honestly I’m very much looking forward to working with all of you. I’ve been... | | |
| 10:12pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 1 | | | | I don't know what the opposite of "Zetsubou shita!" is in Japanese, but if I did that's what I'd be shouting at the return of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, even if it's only in three episode OVA form. It's been a while Zetsubou Sensei, but boy am I glad your back.Indeed, never mind simply returning, this... | | |
| 1:22am | Month by month | | | | I did searches at amazon.com and calendars.com for “anime calendar.” The results were pathetic. Between the two sites, 2009 calendars included only Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach and Pokemon, and something called “Domo.” Bleah. Therefore, I paid a visit to YesAsia.com, where I did... | | |
| 11:00pm | SHAFT - Studio Studies Part Three | | | | Now that I’ve covered what I consider the best along with the most influential studio, I have to talk about my personal favorite, SHAFT. SHAFT was formed in 1975, which comes as a surprise to me because besides their first single-handed production in 1987, Yume Kara, Samenai (which I only just... | | |
