| 3:01am | The greatest baseball match | | | | I was going to write about Da capo, but who cares about that? Clannad’s back! I can’s believe this, for the first time in months I’m actually writing an episode post (Code Geass doesn’t count ).. The power of Clannad is strong.. My friend and I were watching it together, and... | | |
| 5:50pm | Eureka 7 OST Favourite - Sprinting Spirits | | | | A big thank you to Ivy who pointed me to the Eureka OST. We’re kindred souls in anime music indeed. I’m now utterly enamoured with “Sprinting spirits”. As the title implies, it’s an absolutely liberating piece with a touch of epic. Enjoying tremendously also “To... | | |
| 9:15pm | Yuri Anime: Simoun, Volume 5 (English) | | | | Sometimes, the worst part of a choice is the time before the decision is made. The doubts, the waffling, the feeling of "what if?"In Simoun Volume 5, all the choices are made, the cards are dealt and the fate of not only the Sibylla of Chor Tempest, but all the people whose lives touched theirs, is decided.I... | | |
| 10:52am | Gurren Lagann Volume 3 | | | | Once again, any inclination I had to start watching those Simoun DVDs was cast aside yesterday as the final episodes of Gurren Lagann arrived, and were promptly watched. There isn’t really anything I can say about it which hasn’t been said at length, many, many times, and frequently more... | | |
| 10:24pm | 46 New Fall Anime -- full previews (story, trailer, staff, cast, etc.) | | | | With just over two weeks to go until the new season starts, it's time to think about what's coming. Tastes differ, but the shows I myself am most looking forward to are:the mysterious moe romances ef - a tale of melodies and Clannad - After Story the absurd comedy Hyakko (with Orikasa Fumiko and Hirano... | | |
| 4:14am | Onii-sama e…: It’s Exciting! It’s Thrilling! It’s Yuri! | | | | Apologies for a lack of any kind of meaningful graphic for Onii-sama e (also known as Brother, Dear Brother). There really aren’t any good images out there. The fansubs for it are, as far as I can tell, very bad rips of nth-generation VHS subs (two of them had hideous sound errors all over the... | | |
| 7:40pm | Ranma 1/2 Box Set 1 | | | | Wallpaper gallery link. Yappa-pa, Yappa-pa, as if I don’t already have a ton of anime to watch, someone in my D&D group decided to lend me the first box set of Ranma 1/2 for no apparent reason. I’ve got the first two volumes of Code Geass and the last volume of Simoun, sitting on the... | | |
| 8:39pm | Beginning of Spring Season '08 | | | | Several promising series and a lot of new seasons from older ones. At last, after many barren seasons this one looks really solid! First of all the second part of ef - a tale of melodies finally airs; additionally, the delayed second season of Penguin Musume Heart has already started. Also, there are... | | |
| 8:28am | Just a small note | | | | Now that the discussions about the autumn anime season have started, I might as well note that for those who are wondering: I’m not planning to make a preview of the upcoming season. It just feels like everyone and his dog is already doing one, so I don’t see what my attempts can add, since... | | |
| 9:00am | Mnemosyne - Final Thoughts | | | | Mmm vodka. I usually have a taste for the lighthearted, comedic, and slice-of-life variety of anime and manga. However, if that was the ONLY things I watched, I’d loose my mind after awhile (not to mention, miss out on a large chunk of shows out there). What made Mnemosyne’s story attractive... | | |
| 2:52am | In “Defense” of Not Knowing What the Hell “Good” and “Bad” Actually Are | | | | CAUTION: INCREASED VERBOSITY! HARD HAT AREA! PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE LETTERS! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU READ THIS POST AND COMPLAIN ABOUT ITS LACK OF A POINT! I am totally circle nine. Totally.So, between Real Drive episodes, I noticed on MAL that IKnight had finished watching Figure 17, which is... | | |
| 12:17am | The Lagann Dub and the Decade Ahead | | | | Last night, I tuned into Sci-Fi Channel to watch the TV premiere of the Bang Zoom-produced Gurren Lagann dub. I actually thought it was pretty good and something I’d watch weekly but then again, I am more forgiving of dubs than other, more purist fans may be. Kamina didn’t seem to possess... | | |
