| 6:25am | Chihayafuru 2 - 20 | | | | For a while there, I thought the purpose of this episode was to induce as many heart attacks as humanly possible among the audience. This was so close to being one of the classic Chihayafuru episodes ever. It had almost everything - drama, humor, long-awaited interaction with Arata, classic... | | |
| 4:30pm | Ongoing Investigations: Case #216 | | | | If you haven’t heard the fabulous news, UNIQLO currently has Fist of the North Star t-shirts!

| 4:11am | Spring 2013: Midseason Thoughts | | | | Picked up another show a few weeks into the season, increasing my season total to 12.

| 9:58pm | Valvrave the Liberator Ep. 1-6: I know I am hero! | | | | I don’t hate this show. I’m not even going to say I dislike it. Is it a bad show? I’m not sure what that even means anymore (more on that later). Personally, Valvrave the Liberator was at least entertaining in all its “animeness,” and this is why I’m going to vomit... | | |
| 1:27pm | Game of Thrones - 28 | | | | "Second Sons"I know I've had the odd bit of criticism for Game of Thrones over the last three seasons - as a fan of the books it would be almost a miracle not to - but more than anything, I think you have to marvel at how this series consistently brings it.

| 3:28pm | Doctor Who Season 34 - 08 (Season Finale) | | | | "The Name of the Doctor"Bring on November 23rd.It's been an uneven season (or half-season) for Doctor Who. Let's just be honest - it's been a mediocre one. Only "Hide" and Neil Gaiman's "Nightmare in Silver" were solidly above-average episodes by the standard of the Tennant/Smith... | | |
| 3:33am | Chihayafuru 2 - 19 | | | | Well, that was a surprising turn of eventsOr rather, it would have been if a commenter hadn't spoiled this week's ending after last week's episode. Be that as it may, always lead with the headline - and the banner is definitely, "Mizuswa wins the title". In many ways it contradicts the... | | |
