| 6:56am | Leg jiggling like a frog—To Aru Majutsu no Index 1 | | | | With dialogs like this, how can you not go crazy with this show? The writers must have been on crack when they wrote the script, which I am not complaining at all since I have not been so cracked up by a show’s dialogs or tossed around by its wackiness as this. Every minute of the episode, I... | | |

| 6:26am | Kara no Kyoukai 2: Murder Speculation (First Part) |  | | | Melt my blood--melt my heart At last, in its second installment, the story is beginning to match up to the aesthetic beauty of this film series.
