| 6:45am | Kimikiss - Final Impressions | | | | What was broken with Kimikiss? Kouichi’s entire storyline. Going into Kimikiss I had no expectations. Even while it was airing I avoided pretty much any mubling about it because I knew that I was going to plow through it once it was completed. In a sense I was watching it for the first time like... | | |
| 2:30pm | Shuffle! Volume One | | | | Shuffle! Volume One is an adaptation of an eroge (erotic game) from NAVEL software company. But the anime isn’t what you’d think - most of the naughtiness has been taken out and it’s been remade in a more accessible story. Shuffle! tells the story of Rin and Kaede who have a somewhat... | | |
| 3:44am | ACEN08: FUNimation | | | | Aaaaand FUNimation’s panel ACEN08: FUNimation Aaaaand FUNimation, which I know has at least one announcement today (and, no doubt, a sum-up of all their announcements in the past week). Events manager Adam Sheehan presides once again, and it sounds like it’s mostly going to be the same... | | |
| 10:31pm | Harem Personality Quiz: ask your blogger what harem anime is right for you! | | | | So you wanna watch a harem anime. Or maybe you’re just amused by my post title. In any case, the harem genre is one that enjoys a negative reputation from anime viewers, mainly due to the core nature of it being one guy surrounded by many girls waiting to jump him - rather pandering, even I... | | |
| 2:34am | Will Thirteen Be A Lucky Number for Funimation? | | | | This week Funimation has been announcing licenses and so far all of them have involved 13-episode sets. On Monday, it was Save Me, Lollipop (aka Mamotte! Lollipop) that will come out as a 13-episode set in December and Tuesday they announced plans to release the first 26 episodes of Kenichi: The... | | |
| 10:09pm | Original Star | | | | If I told you, the following video is an OP for Lucky Star, would you believe me? (Please wait for video to finish loading, total video is only 1:51 minutes)It is in fact an fan-made video on NicoNico, it’s just plain awesome! Song is Original! by Yuria, from Shuffle! On the Stage visual novel.... | | |
| 1:10am | Gift ~eternal rainbow~ | | | | I don’t know if there are still some lasting effects from Canvas 2, but I didn’t really enjoy Gift ~eternal rainbow~ as much as I should have. Is it because I’ve seen TOO many romance type anime that I’m not surprised by their themes? Has seeing these themes over and over made... | | |
| 7:25pm | xxxHOLiC Kei #06 — Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Filler | | | | Akagi, eat your heart out. Impressions: I remember this chapter. It was one short little one shot deal about how Watanuki had no clue how to play Mah Jong. Somehow, it expanded to become an invitation for the entire cast to show up and comment on Watanuki’s cluelessness. It wasn’t that... | | |
| 3:23pm | Lovedol Mizuki Sakaki | | | | How about a lovely figure to end this month of April? So today, I am going to introduce a lovely figure representing Mizuki Sakaki, « the Princess of Songs » from bishoujo harem serie Lovedol ~Lovely Idol~. Be prepared, or you risk to be struck by her charm power. chuuu~ Do you remember when this... | | |
| 4:13pm | The lure of light-haired lolis - A lascivious lolicious list | | | | I know it’s blasphemous to exclude Nadesico’s Ruri (who is believed to be the mother of all light haired lolis) from this list but my overflowing love for Anzu compels me. (Yes, I fully enjoyed DCIISS ep 02.) Light haired lolis (LHLs) have a special place in my heart. If an anime character... | | |
| 6:33am | Macross Frontier Episode 03 (On Your Marks) | | | | When I Was Talking About Frontiers Lack Of Lighting Effects On Random Curiousity I Wasn’t Joking Around Eh So when last we left off Ozma Lee was all but waving a flag with a skull on it. And no I don’t mean the banner of the Skull Squadron, but the symbol of death itself, as in Ozma has... | | |
| 9:26pm | Clannad’s Nagisa arc: the bishoujo cake isn’t a lie after all | | | | Perhaps predictably or perhaps not, Clannad ends on an “Awww” rather than a “Wow!”, which ironically was the resolution I was hoping for. It makes me all the more interested in the ‘after-story’ that’s promised since the final scenes are less of an ending and more... | | |
| 7:48pm | To Heart 2 ad 1: The Iron Claw of Tama-nee! | | | | This OVA completely slipped under my radar. Thankfully 53RG10’s post was a timely reminder. It was terrific that this episode was Tama-nee-centric though, sadly, the production values seem to have slipped in comparison to the first episode of the previous OVA series. Which was Not Good because... | | |
| 12:10pm | Figure Review: Yamashita Shunya’s Ayanami Rei | | | | The combination of a Yoshizawa Mitsumasa sculpt and a Yamashita Shunya design is enough to evoke a Pavlovian drooling response in many figure collectors, myself among them. Formerly available exclusively in limited resin kit form, the announcement from Yamato at last summer's Wonder Festival that the... | | |
