| 7:09pm | As cholera thinned our ranks |  | | | I suspect the joke was too obscure, but anyhow, as Ani-nouto goes into hybernation, Matthew (yes, that one) suddenly awoke and even reported on something besides Shugo Chara, namely video quality improvements on Crunchyroll. I wish they improved their goddamned shopping cart first, and perhaps even... | | |
| 3:57pm | Crunchyroll Working on Video Quality | | | | at least they’re working on it for Naruto. Here’s the news post from Shinji: Hi guys, We’ve been working hard this week trying to get the video quality better. We were finally able to get the raws for Naruto Shippuden 90, so we re-encoded it and replaced the old videos. To the Anime... | | |
| 10:45am | Shugo Chara Illustrations GET! | | | | The package has finally arrived. I have finally gotten my hands on the artbook of one of my most recent favorites, Shugo Chara. Mind you I have never bought an artbook before, so this is a first. You could say this is my hatsutaiken. Though I gladly did it for Amu-chan.The artbook’s got a really... | | |
| 4:36pm | How popular are your favourite anime bishoujos? | | | | It appears that I’m the only fan of Iokawa Karada, at least according to Myanimelist. Ioka-who? I don’t blame you. Served without fanservice and mecha, Asatte no houkou had only good drama, pseudo-lolis and strong characterisation to draw viewers. In other words, it wasn’t as popular... | | |
| 12:09am | PEACH-PIT Recovers & Rozen Maiden Resumes |  | | | After being struck down by illness, the details of which are completely elusive, the afflicted member of mangaka duo Peach-Pit has recovered, and according to the announcement they make on their website, serialisation of Rozen Maiden, Zombie Loan and Shugo Chara will all resume soon. A modest gap of... | | |
| 11:05pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 65 - I'm slow. | | | | I'm a week behind. D: Anyway, this episode was pretty much an extended version of what happened in the manga. Yoru explains to Amu that Ikuto stole his violin back, but it's been having a strange effect on him. He was low on energy, so Yoru did a character transform and took him to Amu's place to stay.... | | |
| 6:08am | Fanboying over Shugo Chara | | | | Here’s the first part of my marathon to catch up to Shugo Chara Doki! Lots of AMU!@_@\AMUlet heartAh so Amu is into these things.<3<3<3< 3Don’t even think about it.Beware the flying cookiesOoh cute king. GRRRRWAHAHAHAHA | | |
| 6:34am | Shugo Chara! Crunchyroll vs Raw | | | | I was quite excited when Shugo Chara! was announced as being one of the shows that Crunchyroll would be streaming one hour after airing in Japan. Usually, these types of shows don’t get licensed here, but I suppose it got a chance since the manga is out here and it seemed to be pretty popular... | | |
| 5:50am | Shugo Chara! 66 | | | | Watch it on Crunchyroll (members can watch now, everybody else’ll have to wait a week) Due to Crunchyroll changing things around again, it’s hard subs so I couldn’t turn them off and get clean caps. It’d be nice if they’d work on improving the video quality to... | | |
| 4:19pm | Matchmaking Hinamori Amu | | | | There aren’t too many reverse harems that I’ve enjoyed in anime. The last was Saiungoku Monogatari of which most of the charm needs to be attributed to the very fabulous female harem lead - Shuurei. My beef with reverse harems is that they often make the male suitors overly sensitive to... | | |
| 5:20pm | Catch-up Anime List | | | | I thought I’d go back and grab a single anime series from each of the past 4 seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2008) which I didn’t watch originally but thought that it might be worth taking a second look at. Now, when I actually get around to these, I’m not sure, but I’ll... | | |
| 5:35pm | 2008 Was So-So | | | | In terms of the anime year, the anime released for 2008 was subpar. It does not compare to the ever excellent 2007, simply one year ago! As per usual, Anime-Source is planning the end of the year survey. I’ve been brainstorming on what I might select, but from all possible titles, he “best”... | | |
| 5:46pm | Top 10 Anime Endings of 2008 | | | | I thought I’d make some top 10 lists for 2008, and the first is the top 10 best ED songs in 2008. The only requirement is that they premiered in 2008 (sorry Shion and CLANNAD EDs!). I’m also judging it more on the song than the animation of the ED. In any case, let’s get to it... | | |
