| 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... | | |

| 12:51pm | Shigurui: Death Frenzy | | | | On a bleached out courtyard at Sunpu Castle, two men disfigured by a life of perpetual violence face off to bring sweet destruction to the other man.

| 12:00am | Cutting Through a Forest of Swords: a Survey of Swordplay Anime | | | | [This post has no spoilers, pic somewhat related] As I’ve said recently, one thing that interests me almost as much as mecha anime is samurai anime. If there are swordfights, I’m somehow interested. In this post I’m going to give short impressions, or rather what I took away from... | | |
| 12:00am | In the mood for blood: notes on the atmosphere in Shigurui | | | | Shigurui is one sexy show. I don’t mean this in the way the reviewers I respect mean it, in the way they talk about the content of sex in the show. The sexuality of the show is actually quite repulsive. If you get off on it, think of what you’re finding out about yourself. That may make... | | |

(Seirei no Moribito is awesomely heartwarming) | | | | [No spoilers here] Having caught up with the Shigurui manga after being a long-time fan of Vagabond, I was in the mood for more period setting samurai action and Seirei no Moribito has been suggested to me by a whole lot of sensible people for having the best fight sequences.

What I mean by ‘real samurai’ is that the swordsmen and swordplay in the subject works are for the most part portrayed with a realistic aesthetic; the... | | |
| 12:25am | The Stretched Out Wait, Full-screen vs. Widescreen Anime |  | | | As a person who likes watching his shows the way they were meant to be seen (therefore despising those anime dubs of the early 90s), I’m pretty picky when it comes to the aspect ratio of my favorite shows. I’m usually happy with the way my anime is broadcast and/or released on DVD, but... | | |
