| 7:12am | Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - 55 | | | | Well, I guess that with this, Higurashi finally comes to an end, and I have to say that the creators couldn’t have chosen a better way to close it off than with Rei. It really made excellent use of the OVA format to surpass itself, in terms of comedy and silliness in regards to episodes 1 and... | | |
| 3:37am | Hanami with Kagami | | | | Today was an extremely lovely day, so me and Kagamin went out for bit of a joyride. Midway we realized that the roadsides were all white, and it reminded me of the sakura trees in the university. Needless to say, we headed off that way. Not much of a sight but this magnormous carpark simply fills... | | |
| 11:11am | Bartender Review - 85/100 | | | | Anime, just like any other medium, does suffer from the fact that as time goes on, it gets harder and harder to be original. In the past decade, nearly all of the genres we know today were already invented, and during the past few years, it has become near-impossible to create any new genres it seems.... | | |
| 8:05am | Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - 53 | | | | Apologies for the lateness, but I’ve been quite buy for the past week. Still wow. Just wow. I don’t think that I’ve ever watched an OVA that contributed as much to its original series as Higurashi Rei (the only one that comes close is the Rurouni Kenshin OVA). This is really why... | | |
| 7:16am | April Summary | | | | I think that this is the first time that this ever happened ever since I started including ratings in these summaries: none of the shows I’m watching has a rating of 9/10 or above. But that’s logical since the only awesome show that continued from the past month was Hajime no Ippo, and that... | | |
| 1:19pm | Spring 2009 Blog and Watch List | | | | Sorry for not posting in the last week. That was a combination of the basketball tournament (which took up a good deal of my weekend) and getting into the homestretch of my class (which I usually do on the weekend, but got pushed to my weekday eveningswhen I usually do my blogging, thus limited to... | | |

There are 5 possible levels of ratings that I’ll give a show:Will BlogMay Blog (presumes Will Watch)Will WatchMay WatchWon’t Watch As usual, I’m leaving out anything... | | |

| 9:32pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 23 | | | | Short Synopsis: Birdy starts to search for Natoru. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) And so this series continues its string of utterly incredible episodes. Oh boy, it sure has set a incredibly high standard for the rest of 2009. It’s going to be interesting whether the rest of the year can produce... | | |
| 10:17pm | Michiko e Hatchin - 20 | | | | Short Synopsis: Satoshi vs Shinsuke. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This series already was one of my favourites of the currently airing shows, and in the past two episodes it really surpassed itself! While for Casshern Sins I wasn’t sure whether everything... | | |
| 9:46pm | Top Seiyuus of 2008 -- Poll Results | | | | Koshimizu Ami's Horo in Spice & Wolf was the top lead female seiyuu performance of 2008. That's what your votes said. And that's what I thought, too.Male lead: Fukuyama Jun (Lelouche in Code Geass)Supporting female: Horie Yui (Minori in Toradora)Supporting male: Kamiya Hiroshi (Michel in Macross... | | |
| 3:04am | Top 10 Anime of 2008 | | | | It’s that time of year againtime to rank the top 10 shows of 2008. Of course, the usual caveat: this only includes shows which I watched, which this year was only about 20, so it was a kind of slow year for me. Nevertheless, this list still boasts a pretty impressive list of shows. 10. Birdy... | | |
| 5:35pm | 2008 Was So-So | | | | In terms of the anime year, the anime released for 2008 was subpar. It does not compare to the ever excellent 2007, simply one year ago! As per usual, Anime-Source is planning the end of the year survey. I’ve been brainstorming on what I might select, but from all possible titles, he “best”... | | |
| 6:03pm | Funi’s Licensing Spree: What They Got, And What They Seem To Have Missed |  | | | Funimation had been seriously hyping up their New Year’s “New Show A-Go-Go” licensing announcement spree. They left clues hidden around their website for us to decipher, and promised a new show announcement every day for 10 days up until New Year’s Eve (starting on 12/22). Turned... | | |
| 8:22pm | 2008 Summary - Part II | | | | I originally wanted to wait with posting this until Porfy no Nagai’s final episode got released, but its time is nearly running out here. The Share-uploaders have a very cruel sense of humour: out of all the episodes they could have picked to delay, it became that one. In any case, here’s... | | |
