| 8:00am | Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 - #10: Shugo Chara 44 | | | | (Credit to 9LAW, Dkun, and this person for the images I shamelessly stole off of Pixiv) (Part of a 12-day series fondly remembering some of the best moments in anime this year. Participants include: lolikitsune, lelangir, Owen S, FuyuMaiden, IKnight, Zeroblade, Nazarielle, ghostlightning, TheBigN, ETERNAL,... | | |
| 4:54am | ANN hates Nanoha | | | | I lol’d. ANN once again proves that their reviewers, well stink. I chuckled many times while reading Mr. Kimlinger’s review. Do I have a biased vantage point? Of course. Do they as well? Of course. But then again, when has an ANN reviewer actually said something worth taking seriously?... | | |
| 9:47pm | Peach-Pit Hospitiliazed, Manga on Hiatus |  | | | Peach-Pit announced on their website that Shugo Chara, Zombie Loan and Rozen Maiden (which was just pulled off an abrupt ending) are on hiatus while they are in hospital for a sudden illness. More info over at ANN. | | |
| 9:31pm | PEACH-PIT Hospitalisation: Rozen Maiden Suspended |  | | | Half of the lady mangaka duo that is PEACH-PIT has been hospitalised with what looks to be a serious, though not life threatening, illness. As a result, the busy group is forced to suspend publication of no less than three titles: Rozen Maiden, Zombie-Loan, and Shugo Chara. It looks as though there... | | |
| 7:36pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 62 - Rima vs. Nagihiko | | | | YES. Finally a worthwhile episode. That's the third one this season (the other two being 56 and 59). The guardians are cleaning up and they discover an old photograph with Nadeshiko in it. Rima is once again reminded that Nadeshiko and Amu are best friends, and she feels hurt. She's also threatened by... | | |
| 5:43am | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 61 - Sparklies! | | | | It's official. I'm behind on all anime this season. Partly due to my hectic job, and partly because I'm not as interested in what I'm watching. Shugo Chara is a good example of this. A new chara named Kiran appears and runs around doing good deeds to make people sparkle with happiness. The end. I wish... | | |
| 1:27am | The classic entry that leapt through domains | | | | I’m not sure if jpmeyer and hinano will entertain requests (’Mendou dakara!’ LOL) but my now-broken links to their former blogs itches like bugs on my brain. Of course I’d love for both blogs to be resurrected in their entirety (UTF-8 problems notwithstanding) but, to most efficiently... | | |
| 1:56am | Minako is Sparklingly Moe | | | | This week’s episode of Shugo Chara Doki has Minako. Minako is cute. She sparkles. So cuuuuuuute. I want to take her home. Sparkle. Brown hair, side-ponytail, cutely placed front bangs, she’s pretty damn cute. Only downside is a large forehead. I can’t have everything, it seems.... | | |
| 10:01pm | A Christmas Wish-list for Anime Santa | | | | As the year draws to a close, I’ve been scanning the lists of anime to be released in the UK on DVD at Christmas with a slightly jaundiced eye. Don’t get me wrong – I’m more than grateful for what we have available now on R2, especially when I think back to the turn of the century(!) when... | | |
| 5:07pm | Rage Against The COSF*CKERS | | | | OH SNAP! Cosfuck, as the name implies, refers to “cosplays that are f*cked up”, a term which reeks of elitism in and of itself. By referring to a cosplay as “cosfuck”, the elitist sends out this [hidden/overt] message to the ‘accused’ cosplayer: “Your cosplay SUCKS, F*ck Off. Go... | | |
| 2:54am | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 60 - I can predict this one... | | | | Blah. Another filler episode. ::sigh:: There's a girl at school who likes fortunetelling. It doesn't take a psychic to figure out that Lulu shows up. The girl transforms into Future Dream with the power to manipulate the luck of people. It's actually a pretty decent power, giving a lot of people bad... | | |
| 10:27am | My Hopes for 2009! |  | | | 2008 unfortunately hasn’t been a great year of anime etc for me. With me forced to drop many things out of sheer boredom, hasn’t been so bad this season, althrough I have only managed to just watch the episodes, but not review them. (Except To Aru Majutsu no Index dunno where that went).Therefore,... | | |
| 4:05am | Sanpei Yuuko and Itou Kanae -- "Sorry, Ami" | | | | Sanpei Yuuko was a guest on Itou Kanae's radio show on Tuesday. Sanpei-san is Nakiami in Bounen no Xamdo. Itou-san is Amu in Shugo Chara. Sanpei-san posted this nice pic on her blog:Yuuyu (Yuuko's nickname) said that Kanae-chan (right) was really cute, but made it clear that she refrained from sexually... | | |
