| 2:17am | Hopefully the start of a good trend in fansubbing | | | | I was spending many hours minutes seconds preparing yesterday’s post (which believes in cool and spicy and is therefore power), using chibi fansubs’ release of episode 1 of Shugo Chara doki. I got to that point in the opening and decided to take a screencap of Amu doing the monkey, but... | | |
| 12:37am | Shugo Chara Doki 54 - Power up! | | | | Yaya is excited about Amu's most recent power up with Ran and hopes that the Humpty Lock will perform similar magic for her. Amu makes a new friend named Nanami whose parents own a flower shop. Nanami loves flowers as well and wants to use flowers to make people happy. Meanwhile at Easter, Lulu pays... | | |

| 6:18pm | Kana vs. KyoAni: Saimoe ‘08 [3CD-1] results and [3CD-2] preview | | | | And yet another climactic round comes to pass. SaiMoe is very much a tournament of dreams, not because to outsiders it seems like a bunch of people verbally fapping to imaginary characters, but because it really is an example where sometimes, anything seems possible. We’ve seen the legendary... | | |
| 10:35pm | Shugo Chara Doki 53 - Are we there yet? | | | | So, here's how I imagine the pitch for Shugo Chara Doki went:Random Employee 01: The first season was an entire week ago! We should start the season with a recap episode so viewers will remember what happened.Boss Guy: Good idea, but I'm worried that we don't have enough time in one episode to recap... | | |

| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |
| 10:39pm | Shugo Chara Ch. 34 |  | | | In case you didn’t already know, I have no intention to blog season 2 of the anime. The anime has turned into a big joke to me and since they’ve introduced a new character you can expect to basically see anime original episodes in 90% of that series. Anyway moving, on really good chapter... | | |

| 7:34pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 52 - Recap+the next villain is...Lulu? | | | | Recap episode. Dia randomly hatches from her egg for no good reason, and the other guardian charas (plus El and Il) bring her up to speed on everything that happened in the first season. ::disappointment:: The preview tricked me into thinking there'd be some nice stuff going down. I was all OH SNET DIA!... | | |
| 6:54pm | Shugo Chara!! Doki - 01 |  | | | OP: “Minna no Tamago” by Shugo Chara Egg! - I don’t know if I’m digging this new OP. It’s just not Buono quality. There are a ton of new characters in it though, and who’s that trap I see? Hurr hurr. | | |

Someone kindly uploaded it to youtube and this is the result. Interestingly, this is the first OP not to have been done by Buono!. It’s also a shame, because... | | |

A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
