| 8:06am | Another Three Titles for Release by Madman Entertainment in July 2012 |  | | | For what should be my final Madman Entertainment anime announcements for today, I have three more titles that should be hitting Australia and New Zealand shores in July 2012. These series are as follows:Corpse Princess: Shikabane Hime Complete Collection DVD | Hybrid | 650 MinutesUndead and Hell-bent... | | |
| 5:23am | My favorite anime character trope |  | | | Naming one’s favorite anime series or characters isn’t hard, but favorite anime character trope isn’t something we always think about, nor is it something an anime fan necessarily has. As a matter of fact, tropes could be something an anime fan dislikes since they’re likely... | | |
| 12:06pm | Ao no Exorcist Review - 75/100 | | | | Shounen isn’t my favourite genre, but I have enjoyed plenty of the better series in the genre. Ao no Exorcist is a sneaky one though: at first it first seems to avoid a lot of the overused cliches that plague the genre only to fall into them anyways. What sets Ao no Exorcist apart is that... | | |

| 10:27pm | Summer Season Preview - Movie and OVA Edition | | | | Interestingly, in terms of movies the upcoming season will be a season of experiments. There are a lot of movies that try out new ideas, or go into different directions than the series they’re based on. This both has a huge amount of potential, as a huge amount of risks, and I like it! Even if... | | |
| 12:00pm | Some Quick First Impressions: Ao no Exorcist and Deadman Wonderland | | | | Ao no Exorcist Short Synopsis: Our lead character is the son of a demon. So, this turned out to be Shikabane Hime without its subtlety and without the girls. It’s definitely very shounen, even for the usual standards of the Prime Time Anime of the season, but it definitely has its good points.... | | |
| 5:30pm | The Speakeasy: A Reverse Thieves Podcast – Drink #011 | | | | Anime 3000 presents The Speakeasy Podcast: Drink #011: Absinthe Minded, Under the Influence of Gainax The new season chart comes out and anime fans rush to blogs, forums, twitter, IRC, clubs, and anywhere and everywhere else otaku go to discuss their hobbies. They talk about what shows will be horrible... | | |
| 4:07am | Mid-Summer’s Afternoon Chatter | | | | 2010 is an eventful year in anime-manga-whatever-land. If there wasn’t a Bakatest tumbler to remind me of its passing existence earlier this year I probably wouldn’t even talk about it. Bakatest interests me. Within the ongoing procession of anime based on print matter with a stress on... | | |
| 7:09am | Top 25 Favourite EDs | | | | Compiling this list was annoying. At least with OPs, series take a lot more liberties to try something interesting. Most of the EDs however, just look and sound way too much like each other. There were a ton of the same ballads with dull images in front of them, but by far the worst were those moe show... | | |
| 3:48pm | FUNimation Acquisitions & Announcements at ACen 2010 | | | | FUNimation has issued press releases regarding its announcements at Anime Central 2010, including several acquisitions:Rosario + VampireRidebackHeaven’s Lost Property (Sora no Otoshimono)*Gun x SwordChrome-Shelled RegiosChaos;HEAdOriginally simulcast on Crunchyroll. FUNimation also announced the... | | |
| 7:43am | A 2ch Poster’s Reading of Anime DVD/BD Sales Charts | | | | Or “Sales Barriers for Anime” This was originally going to be named “how 2ch reads sales charts” but then I remembered that trying to classify any part of 2ch as a singular is a rather foolish thing to do unless you want hits. Wait, oops. Anyway, this is obviously not gospel... | | |
| 8:30pm | Seiyuu Yuuki Aoi -- Young Veteran | | | | Voice actress Yuuki Aoi 悠木碧 just turned 18 last Saturday. But she is a show business veteran: she was in her first TV drama at the age of five, and has acted in ten TV shows, three films, and 21 animes. (mouseover images for captions; click to enlarge)Her seiyuu career began when she was eleven,... | | |
| 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... | | |
