| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 1:55am | Seikirei - Pure Engagement Promo thoughts |  | | | More Seikirei, really? Yes. Really. More magic of how anime used to be Wait a minute,this was how anime used to be? No, I’m not talking about fan service, moe coming out of the wazu, loli-running half naked on every screen. I’m talking about superpowers, water snakes, flying discs, using... | | |

| 12:17am | Yahagi Sayuri -- Indispensable | | | | When Yahagi Sayuri 矢作紗友里 debuted at 19 as Karin, she knocked me out with her liquid, well-inflected voice.Now she has been a professional seiyuu for four years. She still has the strong, supple, quite high voice she started with, but the burbling liquidness has been toned down. She has developed... | | |
| 4:22pm | Aroduc on Fight Ippatsu 01 |  | | | Why bother torrenting when you can read everything about Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan 01 and Sea Story 01 at Tenka Seiha? I even suspect that it may be more fun to read Aroduc than to watch actual episodes. Also, observe the editorial position: Outside from that though, there really wasn’t any more... | | |
| 8:01pm | UFO Valkyrie fails |  | | | I continue to burn through shows at an alarming rate. This time it’s UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie (aka UFO Princess Valkyrie) that gets tossed into the reject pile after 4 episodes. Two principal things peeved me the most about it: First, damage to others: The comic property damage is an enshrined... | | |
| 10:43pm | Yumeria (Dreamworld) |  | | | I hoped to see another Magikano and somewhat surprisingly, the art was similar. I even rushed to check the production studio For Yumeria it’s DEEN, but for Magikano it’s impossible to determine. However, “similar” does not mean “same”. I don’t even have a single... | | |
| 9:32am | Asura Cryin’ #11 — Giant Golden Bulging Dicks | | | | I knew it. I bloody knew it. Blame a particularly vexing Sudoku for why I’m actually awake and amped up enough at this hour to feel up to watching this episode. Impressions: I already declared victory at the suppository episode, but this just cements it. Keizou Kusakawa cannot direct a show... | | |
| 7:59pm | Asura Cryin’ #10 — Animal Cruelty | | | | Please spay or neuter your devils. Sorry I’m a bit slow. Had a rather busy morning. Impressions: A pretty decent episode overall, even if the technobabble and magical machine to turn everybody into gorillas suck the life out of everybody in the area seemed a bit randomly thrown in and straight... | | |
| 5:56pm | Jessi’s reviews, idiotic and not |  | | | As if to illustrate how bad comments are, we’re having a little dorama in comments at Chizumatic, were I observed how Jessi’s reviews for Sekirei and Arashi were idiotic, Jessi failed hard by thinking that all of her reviews were equally idiotic, and so on. Of course I have no quarrel with... | | |
| 1:27am | Anime In Vogue |  | | | Anime is in vogue, literally, for the Japanese edition of glossy fashion rag Vogue, Vogue Nippon, is covering manga and anime of interest to “fashionistas”. “Super-sexy and ultra-cool manga yield super-style, enjoyed the world over!” gushes the cover. This apparently includes... | | |
| 8:17pm | Unfunny Internet Meme Comics #6-21 | | | | Apparently BayTSP have sent out another bunch of letters to the ISPs of US based fansub downloaders. Last year, they were doing this on behalf of Aniplex for shows like Kannagi, Sekirei and Kara no Kyoukai. This time around, it seems that it’s Media Factory who has hired them, and a number of... | | |
| 5:48pm | Yukari Higa Info |  | | | So I fangirled when I found out my favorite artist ever was doing the Nanoha manga. But what ANN fails to tell me, I find through livejournal. She is also doing the new (?) Kiddy Grade manga! Of course I’m talking about Yukari Higa. Let’s try and get some more information available, okay?... | | |
