| 7:25pm | Memorable Seiyuu Performance -- Koshimizu Ami in ep3 of Spice & Wolf II. | | | | Who is the best female seiyuu working today? Some people would say Kawasumi Ayako, others Paku Romi or Orikasa Fumiko, Kuwashima Houko or Sawashiro Miyuki, even Horie Yui or Kugimiya Rie. But I'd like to suggest a new candidate: Koshimizu Ami.Ami is only 23, but has been working as a seiyuu since she... | | |
| 3:18am | Natsu no Arashi review |  | | | I finished watching Natsu no Arashi last night, the first series I’ve completed using Crunchyroll’s simulcasting I enjoyed Jin Kobayashi’s other series, School Rumble, so I decided to give Natsu no Arashi a try. The first episode is a stand-alone filler episode, with the characters... | | |
| 6:39pm | Passionate Prelude: J-Saimoe 2009, preliminaries round 4 are open | | | | Yeah, let’s start this up again; a bit late to the party thanks to Anime Expo (which will also get posted on soon) but the Japanese Saimoe (as opposed to ISML) preliminaries have just begun, and to be honest, it requires a bit more work to vote than ISML, so I’ve written up a few things... | | |
| 5:49pm | Sora no Manimani -- characters and seiyuus, with pics | | | | The first episode of Sora no Manimani was just released Tuesday. I have been looking forward to it for the sake of hearing Hayami Saori in a new role, and Hayamin was good as the cautious ojou-sama Sayo.But the star of the show was the star of the show: Itou Kanae did a brilliant job of both the comic... | | |
| 7:47pm | Yukkuri’s Revenge | | | | But, hey, it’s the other one. Natsu no Arashi concludes with an episode which is pretty similar to the shows opener, only even stranger. For one thing, rather than constantly cycling the background characters as they’ve been doing in the show recently, this episodes gimmick is that it’s... | | |
| 12:47pm | Hatsukoi Ends. Hey, Isn’t Romance for Girls?? | | | | I’ve been very intrigued by Hatsukoi Limited. I love this show. My female friend, who’s into pretty boy shows like Hanasekeru Seishounen, is also crazy about this show. Yet I absolutely hate chick lit, chick flicks and other romance movies/shows. So why do I like HL? Wait, make that, why... | | |
| 6:53pm | 2009 Summer Anime BBQ, Preview, and Hootenanny | | | | My money’s on Horie Yui. I always feel the need to remind people that none of us doing these things really has anything but at best a random guess at how shows are going to turn out, and at worst have mistaken a show for a game and are just talking out of their butts. If you’re taking any... | | |
| 7:40am | K-ON 12 | | | | For me, an anime’s end is often trumps its journey – particularly if I felt the ending or non-ending made a mockery of the journey. Such as the resets of School Rumble. I recall reacting badly to the final episode of the first iteration of Fullmetal Alchemist which continues to dampen my... | | |
| 11:18pm | Summer '09 Previews | | | | With several shows that I enjoy carrying on from spring; add 14 new ones, plus Haruhi new episodes, Zetsubou Sensei 3rd and Ookami 2nd season; this summer looks very promising! The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this... | | |
