| 12:17am | Shugo Chara Doki, for the Most Shou of Jo | | | | If there’s one big difference between Shugo Chara and Shugo Chara Doki, I think it’s that Doki is targeting an even younger age group than previous. With Shugo Chara Doki, there’s this tendency to directly address the audience and present things front-and-center. It’s less... | | |
| 5:26am | Shugo Chara Doki Episode 59 | | | | Man, this week’s episode really hit the spot. An adorable, pseudo-kiss scene between Amu and Ikuto, Metal Gear Ikuto, the first appearance of Amulet Angel in too long, cute Rima, Utau holding a concert with Heartful Song, pining after her brother in her typical obsessive way. Nifty new Utau concert... | | |
| 12:01am | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 59 - Heartful Song | | | | What a sweet episode. Kinda a filler, but it was so nice and so worth it. MAN, this was great. Almost makes up for last week's debacle. Plus, it answered one of my very pressing questions about Ikuto. Utau is having her first live since she and Yukari split from Easter. Ever since the split, things have... | | |
| 5:00am | The State of Shugo Chara - QUALITY, The Contagious Trap, Psuedo-Pantsu | | | | Shugo Chara!’s second season, Shugo Chara Doki! Got off to a bit of a rocky start. Even I could tell you that starting of a brand new season with two episodes of pretty much nothing but recap and a redundant face-off between Ikuto and Tadase is a bad idea, but sadly those on the production | | |
| 2:42am | Shugo Chara Doki 58 - I want my twenty minutes back... | | | | Well, as indicated by last week's preview, this episode was utterly and completely useless. Completely. Not even a snippet of plot or subplot to make it worthwhile. Although admittedly, Yoru rapping was pretty funny. Ami decides she hates her parents because they won't buy a dollhouse for her, so she... | | |
| 12:35am | Shugo Chara Doki 57 - The Path to MANHOOD | | | | This episode was so useless, but I laughed so hard. Being a man's man is hard work. Ikuto and Yoru are searching for his violin, but they don't have any luck. Yoru is concerned because the violin is very important to Ikuto, but Ikuto says it's not that big of a deal. At school, a group of dojo students... | | |

| 9:34pm | Kagami Claims Saimoe Supremacy | | | | Hiiragi Kagami, alias HIIRAGIIIII, has emerged as the winner of 2008’s Anime Saimoe tournament. All the more impressive was that her victory was over her own sister Tsukasa, in what is sure to remembered as a fierce battle where blood was not thicker than moe. Kagami’s status as the Moest... | | |
| 8:34pm | Shugo Chara Doki 56 - Nadeshiko Returns! | | | | Yaaay! Nadeshiko/Nagihiko is back! Amu has a dream that Nadeshiko returns, but it's cut short by stern awakening from Nikaido. The female guardians are in their greenhouse, and they wonder where Tadase is. Before they can speculate too much, an awkward boy stumbles in, lost. Meanwhile, Tadase and Kukai... | | |
| 6:10am | October Summary | | | | Okay, so since this list already is huge for this month, I decided to omit the OVAs in this list, along with series that have already finished and belong to the previous season, like Chi’s Sweet Home and Wagaya no Oinarisama, in an attempt to keep this list a bit overviewable (although I do want... | | |
| 1:22am | Month by month | | | | I did searches at amazon.com and calendars.com for “anime calendar.” The results were pathetic. Between the two sites, 2009 calendars included only Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach and Pokemon, and something called “Domo.” Bleah. Therefore, I paid a visit to YesAsia.com, where I did... | | |
| 5:35am | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 55 - Amulet Spade Power Up! | | | | The Easter crew is planning their next step. Lulu will find another target, the idiots will measure some sort of data, and Ikuto will chase after the Embryo when it shows up. Amu runs into a girl named Hitomi who idolizes Utau and loves singing. Upon discovering that Amu knows Utau personally, Hitomi... | | |
| 8:46pm | Only a Quisling From the Waist Downwards? | | | | It's not ice cream, unfortunately. Just recently I read Blue Drop, or rather the three different manga incarnations of Blue Drop, because Owen told me to and I’m his bitch. It’s a yuri or shoujo-ai - I lack the patience to negotiate a path between the two terms - franchise, with three... | | |
