| 2:54pm | Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, Episode 1-1: Opening | | | | The time has finally come for Umineko. Pretty much like the other series I have blogged in the past, the summary will be in black while my comments will be colored in blue.

| 10:48pm | Swimsuits – The meaning of summertime? | | | | Well, we’re well into summer here in the UK – it’s the tradition here to have an uncharacteristically warm spell in June, which gets all the nice hours of sunshine out of the way to make way for business as usual during July and August (if the recent years are anything to go by…) And what... | | |
| 11:31pm | Top Picks – Spring 2009 Anime, Part 2: Genre and Misfit Awards | | | | As I’m writing this, I’m half-surprised to see no one mention a certain show not getting any awards and I’d be even more surprised after this part so I figured I should mention it’s lack of showing. The show in question is the Full Metal Alchemist remake. The reason why it hasn’t shown up... | | |
| 2:08pm | June Summary | | | | The interesting thing with this month is that yet again I had no clear favourites. There’s a bunch of shows that I really like, but there’s not been a series for me that really stood above the others this month. I think that because of this, the series that ended up as my number one position... | | |

Most people just don't know it, because without knowing what you're looking for, it's hard to locate the good work amongst the flood of productions released every year. In Japan, as anywhere, the nature of this talent is multifaceted. The focus of... | | |
| 12:12pm | I Endorse Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen | | | | Yes, and I’m one of those that fought to watch it at the first day!This is one of those movies that actually make you OBLIGATED to watch it. Yes, the first movies was stupendous, and fantastic in every angle, but this one, it says “fuck you, watch me” right in your face. And probably... | | |

| 8:52pm | Eden of the East review | | | | Although it was one of the shortest anime TV series to air recently, I feel it’s definitely one of the best The story/plot of Eden of the East (a.k.a.
