| 6:39am | 聖地巡礼[seichi junrei] | | | | There’s no need to explain this term now since a lot of anime fans actually do this. But I wonder if foreign anime fans who come to Japan to do this know how this action shall be called. Yes, if you really really love the anime, would you like to travel some points where the anime used as... | | |
| 5:24pm | The Tortoise and the Bandai (Entertainment) | | | | Bandai Entertainment is getting even trickier on us. Warning: some of the destinations of the following links may eventually be altered to rickroll you. It’s not my fault! I got a user tip that pointed me to this AnimeonDVD thread, which linked to the above image, which originally featured this... | | |
| 3:28pm | プリズム・アーク ～プリズム・ハート エピソード2～ |  | | | What does it take for one to attain happiness? Is it heroism, to ultimately secure the happiness of many?

| 4:29am | Doubters Should Give Lucky Star a Chance to Work Its Magic | | | | Owen (aka Sat-chan) has recently written a defense of Lucky Star against those who bash it as unfunny (although, being declared “unfunny” is not necessarily a bar to success: note the Unfunny Internet Meme Comics). Owen freely displays his distinctive style of searing disdain and contempt... | | |
| 10:09pm | Yuri Manga: Gunjou, Chapters 3 and 6 | | | | Back in March, I reviewed a new non-moe Yuri manga series by Nakamura Ching, Gunjou. After I posted my review, Nakamura-san offered to send me a back issue of Morning 2 - the magazine in which Gunjou runs - which I of course accepted with great joy. And just yesterday, I received my copy of the current... | | |
| 6:44am | True Tears round-up |  | | | These are blogging reactions which I was going to admire, debate and mock upon the completion of true tears. Since I’m obviously not going to start now, might as well dump the list. This goes on top of what I posted previously. Jeff Lawson, first impression: [T]he CG work in True Tears is damn... | | |
| 2:04pm | Anime Review: Shigofumi |  | | | What is it about episodic anime that I like so much? Even discounting the comedies, few shows in my all time favourites can maintain a storyline for more than a few episodes at a time (in before ADHD accusations). Mushishi is one that springs to mind constantly, each episode a sublime story of human... | | |

| 3:23am | Shoujo Showdown! Special A vs. Itazura no Kiss, expounded to painful length | | | | I enjoy contradictions; not only in my mind-bending anime that I watch but also in what kind of anime I watch. I like to tout my love for the visual-novel conversions, a genre that is on the mild end, gender-neutral with cute girls and sad stories, and on the extreme ends, a fanservice free-for-all... | | |

| 5:08am | Anime and the magical age 21 - 誕生日おめでとう | | | | Well, I have finally turned 21. In relation to anime I would pretty much be an old man since most anime today stars all these young kids in high school fighting demons or having love confessions, and I can’t say I’ve experianced anything like that in my high school days, but being an old... | | |
