| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group F – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Nodoka, Taiga, Azusa, and Ai. So just when you think K-ON was having a bad Saimoe year, two characters from the series advance on the same day. Unfortunately Index had to lose in the first round. Maybe if all those votes for Kaori went to her instead nevermind. Azunyan is just as nice. And... | | |

| 12:59am | Evangelion 2.0: excitement builds |  | | | The base problem here is all have severe mental problems. I think. Emphases ‘base’. Like many people, I started watching anime seriously when Evangelion was out on VHS. (That was ‘99 in NA, i believe) But the last 4 episodes where so confusing/convoluted/stupid that I was all “WTF”.... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 1:28pm | Phantom - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Eins trains Zwei for his upcoming missions. Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) Next up: Phantom, the show that turned me into a huge hypocrite (not that I wasn’t already one before, but okay). It was of course obvious that I was going to end up blogging this one, since I really like... | | |

| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |
| 4:00am | Toradora! Complete | | | | Ah, and good. After all the reflections [optional RSS], I am not sure what else to say about this delightful series. It was a lot of smiles, some doki-doki, delicious characters, and finished clean. I haven’t necessarily changed my thoughts on the nostalgia of it all, and I may never rewatch it,... | | |
| 7:31pm | Jigoku Shoujo - 75 | | | | Short Synopsis: A boy who is bullied by some of his classmates calls Jigoku Tsuushin. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) When talking about episodic series about a school setting, then the bullied kid is often a very popular storyline (or take any dark series set in school). I really have to say that... | | |
| 11:49pm | On Bullying in Anime (A Ramble) | | | | Bullying is a very common subject in anime, namely school anime, which seems to be natural because I guess it just happens all the time in Japanese schools. I've actually gotten pretty tired of bullying as a plot device because it's always the same damn thing. However, I was watching Great Teacher Onizuka,... | | |

As such I’m going all out to clear my mind of this cancer that has been infecting it yet again... | | |
| 4:56am | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 5 – Jan 11) | | | | A very light week of anime this week for me. I pushed my watching of many of the new winter shows into the current week so I could try to finish a few lingering shows of 2008 I wanted to get too before 2009 started. I was only partially successful, Shigofumi got watched finally but I still want to get... | | |
| 5:20pm | Catch-up Anime List | | | | I thought I’d go back and grab a single anime series from each of the past 4 seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2008) which I didn’t watch originally but thought that it might be worth taking a second look at. Now, when I actually get around to these, I’m not sure, but I’ll... | | |
