| 10:28pm | Twelve Moments in Anime 2007 - #9: Shuffle! 16 | | | | The "12 Days of Christmas" series is a joint feature by some members of the Anime Blogging Collective recognizing twelve moments, twelve series, or just twelve things about anime that we've enjoyed over the past year, that really make us enjoy loving what we do, and that is being an anime fan. Feel free... | | |
| 6:13am | Haruhi ends |  | | | I thought I would never be able to shake off the crazy blog hype that surrounded Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but I forgot about it pretty quickly. Perhaps because my impressions were contrary to most old writing that I saw. Firstly, the animation quality jumps all over the place. It’s not terrible... | | |
| 2:31pm | Anime that sucked: Ragnarok the Animation (Be careful of b00bs) |  | | | After looking through Impz’s posts on good anime, I’m going to start writing one of the anime I hate to the core and Ragnarok fans, please do not kill me after reading it, or rather you should not read this post at all (Avoid it, then) for your own safety and perhaps health. Present you... | | |
| 4:04pm | Bamboo Blade 8-9 | | | | It’s been great to watch how Tama-chan’s been developing as a person / character. Lots of new experiences from joining a club, making new friends from other schools, and now a part-time job. The creepy shopkeeper reminded me of Kayahara-sensei but, at least, the latter has a bijin side... | | |
| 2:50pm | Living in the Post-School Days Era | | | | School Days is quite possibly the standout anime of this year.Never before have I seen an anime exert such genre-shaking power; after all, the true test of an anime or any work of fiction is not how much you support it in the moment of actually consuming it, but how much you support it after its run... | | |
| 8:13pm | Anime Geography: Ferris wheel in the sky, keep on turning | | | | While the hot springs and the beach are more well-known destinations for anime filler episodes, the amusement park is one of the harem / romance genre's best kept secrets; at least, by 'best kept' I mean you don't see a lot of other shows at theme parks (next on Kaiji: Restricted Whack-a-Mole).However,... | | |
| 12:34am | A highly scientific discussion about breasts | | | | To mitigate the massive flood of viewers pounding on that 'read more' button, though, let me stress that today's post is, as always, completely and almost depressingly work-safe and wall-of-text-y.Fanservice is one of those issues in anime that is nearly completely polarizing; the middle ground is very... | | |
| 6:39am | Kaiji 06 | | | | ZAA PAY-PAAAH!* In gambling, even the best laid plans can go awry. Fortunately it seems as though Kaiji is pretty good at thinking on his feet. * Kudos if you get that reference. What I enjoy about this series is that even though there are multiple twists and turns you never really feel gypped. When... | | |
| 1:40am | Roundup : 2007 week 46 |  | | | Round up of all news items and posts from last week - this weeks theme is Dustbins. Given the lack of dustbins available, I' surprised that the streets over here are relatively free of rubbish. Spend a lot of my time carrying rubbish around in my bag until I find a Seven Eleven. I'm guessing that... | | |
| 9:57am | I can’t believe they’re not anime! |  | | | Here we’ll investigate three cases of “They-might-be-medicore- anime-series-but-I’ll-st ill-watch-them” that are not anime yet. But I’m sure they will be in the future. So until then 5. Gore Screaming Show/Mindead Blood Personally, I’d much rather watch a Gore... | | |
| 3:19am | [Ascaloth] CLANNAD (TV), Episode 06 | | | | "I’m in despair!!! TJ Han’s superior culinary skill has left me in despair!!!" CLANNAD (TV), Episode 6. This episode was actually rather muted in the comedy department compared to the previous ones; a sure sign that CLANNAD is diving into the sentimentalist portion of its story,... | | |
| 12:02am | Why watch harem? | | | | Word association time: I say harem, you say:A) Unrealistic.B) Simplistic.C) Uninspired.D) Boobies!Many anime fans would pick one of these four to describe the genre; something that really shows the relatively bad reputation that one-guy-many-girl shows have. But there is, just like most other genres,... | | |
| 5:47pm | Open Fire: Some Unfounded Arguments | | | | It's been and is going to be a busy weekend over at Eternity, so there hasn't been a lot of time to plan out another argumentative post. Likewise, the moe fountain has dried up with most of the shows on the hitlist making only incremental progress (ah, the wonders of watching current season shows), so... | | |
| 9:30am | Interview 05: Players and pImpz |  | | | We had a tough time deciding whether to feature this anime blog or That Anime Blog, because we wanted to interview the smartest, wittiest, and best-looking anime blogger out there. However, since I can’t very well interview myself, we decided to go with Impz instead. All kidding aside, Impz... | | |
| 11:32am | Bamboo Blade 3 | | | | The kendo club goes to buy new equipment, a new character Saya is introduced and Miya Miya plots violent retribution against the two seniors who were bullying her boyfriend. Very sweet how Tama-chan also bought a new chest protector, even though she already had her own, because this was the first... | | |
