| 9:22pm | Arusu the Adventure - 04 | | | | A small announcement, in case you will be wondering: the next episode of Shigofumi and Shion no Ou will be delayed for about a day, as I’ll be too busy for anime tomorrow and some share-users decided to upload fake raw-versions again In any case, this was definitely the best episode yet, because... | | |
| 1:44pm | My Top 3 Anime for 2008 v1.0 | | | | First rankings post for 2008, and my watch list for spring 2008. And why top 3? Because there were no other shows currently being watched eagerly.1.

| 9:46pm | Shion no Ou - 19 | | | | Heh, and I thought that Satoru would be out of the picture now that he lost. Heh, it’s far from that. Basically in this episode, he confirms the suspicions that were raised in the previous episode, and it’s now pretty clear who the murderer is. Really, only now that this information is... | | |
| 4:18pm | Weekly Round-Up | | | | It’s a unique opportunity to be able to post this on February 29th, which also happens to be the day when we girls can propose- possibly why they told me not to come to dancing on Fridays anymore.Reviewed this week: Aria 8, Himawari!! 2, Kaiji 20, Persona 6, Shion no Ou 17, Shounen Onmyouji 21-2,... | | |
| 3:28pm | Ghost Hound - 17 | | | | Another terrific episode. I’m still surprised at how each episode starts pretty quietly, with usually a bunch of flashbacks, only for a few intense-plot-twists to happen in the second half. There’s nothing wrong with series that alternate between building-up and climax-episodes, but after... | | |
| 1:37pm | February Summary | | | | I must say that this has been the best winter-season we’ve had in years. usually, they just features one or two great series, but this season juast has a whole bunch of worthwhile watches, albeit you do have to look a bit harder than usual. #28 (28) - Dragonaut The Resonance - (6,6/10) - This... | | |

| 4:21pm | Shion no Ou - 18 | | | | Well, it’s four episodes left, and we finally get a question that has been asked through the entire series confirmed. It wasn’t the most exciting episode that this series had to offer, but it was a perfect build-up to the grand finale of this anime. The next line is going to be a spoiler,... | | |
| 12:37am | Winter Season Checkpoint | | | | We’re well past to midpoint of the Winter 07-08 anime season and since it’s Friday and there’s no Clannad to post about, I figured I might as well try out one of these mid-season impression things, a brief on my impressions on some of this season’s offerings and carry overs from... | | |

| 3:04pm | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 19 | | | | Call me gullible, but I’m not really pleased to find out that my praises for the E-Card arc of a few episodes ago, where I finally hoped to see some complex mind-games between two masterminds, turned out to be one big mistake. How I hoped to see both Tonegawa and Kaiji outsmart each other with... | | |
| 10:58pm | Shion no Ou - 17 | | | | This episode was meant to build up for the next one. But with Shion no Ou, this isn’t a bad thing at all. This episode was yet again awesome, and now that this series is nearing its finish it’s getting more amazing by the minute! Seriously, this series has some of the best character-studies... | | |
| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |
