| 8:48am | Aoi Hana - 02 | | | | You know, I said in my Umineko post that I’d be blogging Bakemonogatari but its second episode was so underwhelming that I’ve nearly lost interest I mean, the awesome OP was gone and instead we have a random J-Pop song about staplers, the entire first half of that episode was filled with... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 4:46am | Tokyo Figure Show 2 |  | | | image ID#26678Lots involved in organizing a figure show which is taking just a wee bit longer than imagined. In the meantime, we'll use the "Tokyo Figure Show" title to go through my latest batch of figure samples. This photo article has 82 photos which will likely cause Google Reader to balk - click... | | |
| 5:29pm | Winter '09 Short Reviews | | | | Only a couple of months late, but the new semester's schedule is really tough. Anyway, winter had a couple of good one-cour series and another couple of two-cour also concluded. Excellent:Maria Holic Good:Ride Back, To aru Majutsu no Index, Toradora OK:Akikan, Shikabane Hime, Zettai Karen Children Watchable:Asu... | | |
| 6:17pm | Spring 2009 - The Season of the Simulcast |  | | | A year ago, Japanese studio Gonzo was on the verge of financial collapse and tried to dig themselves out by experimenting with a new idea for the US market. They introduced the simulcast, a free, legal, fully-subtitled copy of their Spring 2008 series Drauga and Blassreiter. They would make each episode... | | |
| 1:27pm | Shikabane Hime: Kuro - Episode 12 (Completed) | | | | As the start of the last episode of Shikabane Hime: Kuro looked to bring the time of the Shikabane Hime themselves to an end, so the end of that very same episode brought them redemption, as those with a close enough bond with the world and their contracted priests found their energy and abilities restored,... | | |
| 10:42am | Kabitzin’s March 2009 List |  | | | Everyone slacks off sometimes, and for me it was last month. Between being busy and being out of town, I totally fell behind on Shikabane Hime and Michiko to Hatchin. I was strongly considering blogging FMA: Brotherhood, but Kungfucius has volunteered to take that series on now that he’s done... | | |
| 6:05am | (Bi)Weekly Anime Review | | | | Frequent readers of The Null Set might have noticed a recent lull in posts. There’s two primary reasons why and I thought I’d mention them before continuing. The first is that I recently started reading the books that the tv series The Dresden Files (an urban fantasy series) is based on and I had... | | |
| 7:26pm | Right Is Left | | | | Anime is weird for me right now. It is cheaper than ever, yet I have nothing to watch. When anime cost twice as much, I had plenty to watch every week. Now that anime is cheap, I wish I had something to buy when I go to the store. Or maybe March is just a slow month. I hardly got any figures either.... | | |
| 6:28pm | Shikabane Hime: Kuro - Episode 11 | | | | The last episode of Shikabane Hime: Kuro looked set to bring a swift and unavoidable end to the Shikabane Hime themselves, with the source of the "En" which connected them to their Contracted Priests irreparably and violently terminated. Hang on though, we've still got two episode left to go, so surely... | | |
| 2:35pm | March Summary | | | | An interesting month this time. It featured a lot of very awesome finales, but also quite a few disappointing or lacking endings, unfortunately. What surprised me is that most of the shows whose endings went right are the ones who still have some sort of second season or OVA waiting, or at least whose... | | |
| 1:22pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 25 | | | | Short Synopsis: Birdy finally gets the chance to bring Natoru back to earth. Episode Rating: 9/10 (fantastic) What an utterly incredible episode. I’ve seen a lot of disappointing endings this season so far, but this one did EXACTLY what it promised, with some of the most amazing results. What... | | |
| 12:42am | Top Seven Anime of the Winter 2009 Season | | | | About two weeks ago, I started penciling in the picks for the previous three parts as well coming up with the top shows of the season. In the time between the preliminary picks and the final picks there was a few shows that went all out to make me reconsider them. Changing my picks was most apparent... | | |
| 12:30pm | Shikabane Hime Review - 87,5/100 | | | | The first season of Shikabane Hime was a very solid build-up, it had great horror, and may have had some pacing issue in the beginning, but it was one of the stories that gets better and better as it goes on. Shikabane Hime Kuro (the continuation), however promised to decline into the standard shounen... | | |
| 11:22am | Shikabane Hime - 25 | | | | Short Synopsis: The finale of Shikabane Hime Episode Rating: ?/10 (wut?) Uhm yeah. This is without a doubt one of the more original endings I have ever seen, but what? But yeah, this is what you get when you combine Gainax with the director of Gilgamesh: both infamous for their unconventional endings.... | | |
