| 2:39am | Mai Otome ep.21 preview | | | | We're getting back on track, slowly but surely. I'm still not too fond of the AAAA (Atrocious Angsty Arika Arc), but now that it's ended in this episode, we'll hopefully see what our heroines can do with their newfound determination.A general issue I see is that Mai Otome mixes | | |
| 10:25pm | Winter 2006: Half-Way Rankings | | | | I think this year's first quarter of anime has been pretty dull compared to what came before it, and the huge line-up for the spring season ahead. Little has really seemed stunning, and the series I've followed most eagerly have tended to have been continuations from last year.I'm | | |
| 1:18pm | MOMO 01 |  | | | Probably one of my most anticipated shows in the season, Shinigami no Ballad doesn’t disappoint with it’s first outing.The first episode tells the story of Mai and Kouta, two close friends, who one day find a kitten dumped in a park. Mai decides to help the kitten and with Kouta’s | | |
| 11:03am | Shinigami no Ballad ep.1 | | | | Yes, I realised that I haven't even completed Hantsuki and I will review the last 2 episodes soon. But to be honest, I am kind of losing interest with that series. My main intention right from the start was only to follow Shinigami no Ballad. However, I stupidly thought there will be some | | |
| 9:53am | Shinigami no Ballad 1 | | | | Opening: "no one" by Ｋ○Ｙ - English lyrics sung pretty decently for the song. I like the part at the beginning there with Momo and Daniel. Momo's smile is great :)Mai@Chiwa Saitou and Kouta are 5th graders who are pretty close to each other, pretty much a couple you could say. | | |

| 12:00am | April Anime Preview - pics/staff/cast | | | | I'm not as high on this season as fans of shounen shows and mecha are, but I'm sure there will be some pleasant surprises. There always are. However, I don't see anything like the three masterpieces that debuted a year ago: Suzumiya Haruhi, NANA, and Simoun. Then again, I didn't see them coming, | | |
| 12:00am | Fall 2006: the first week of new shows | | | | Somehow I've managed to see the first episodes of almost all the new anime. Here's what I thought of them. As usual, there are far too many watchable shows.Just for reference, my favorite recent shows are Simoun, Honey & Clover, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, NANA, and Bokura ga Ita. But I've also | | |
| 12:00am | My favorite anime of 2006 -- Simoun, Suzumiya, NANA, et al. | | | | I'm already looking at what new shows are coming up in January, so perhaps it's time to look back over 2006.What a year it was! I sat down to do a personal top ten and came up with a top three or a top fifteen. And the top three are competitors not just for the top anime of this year, but for my | | |
| 12:00am | Shinigami no Ballad - 01 | | | | Momo is a Death God (Shinigami) who takes the lives of others with her obligatory talking cat who has bat wings. Their hobbies include watching paint dry and intervening between the lives of elementary school children! Hardcore, this isn't sadly - mix slice of life anime with a hint of Jigoku Shoujo... | | |
| 12:00am | Shinigami no Ballad - Episode 5 | | | | Vague Summary: A year on from the first episode we return to Kouta and Blue as they help out a girl who's sister's spirit has unfinished business. My Opinion: After last weeks slightly disappointing episode SnB is back on form with this great episode, it was nice to see Kouta and Blue from the first... | | |
| 12:00am | Shinigami no Ballad - Episode 6 (END) | | | | Vague Summary: The series draws to a close as we follow a soul guided by Momo tracing back the events of her supposed suicide.My Opinion: Unfortunately the series has ended, but did it go out on a high note? Hell yes it did, with the best episode of the entire season, we follow a young girl peicing together... | | |
