| 9:30am | Blue Drop Episode 2 - “Sweet blushing Mari can be so wrong~” |  | | | The problem that most yuri shows, or yuri-inclined shows lately, is that they have a tough act to follow. Simoun, one of the best shows in all genres the past year, has redefined the genre to make it the icon on how to make a “good yuri show”. Even though Blue Drop is worlds apart from... | | |
| 8:46am | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 02 | | | | To give a quick rundown on why I’m not blogging the other series so far (emphasis on quick): - Bamboo Blade is fun but the black-haired girl is annoying. - Sketchbook had a boring second episode, so I dropped it. - Nougami Neuro’s mystery is so shallow that it can’t even fully... | | |

| 10:30am | Seirei no Moribito - 26 | | | | In the middle of this season, I didn’t think that the current Spring Season of 2007 could live up to the awesomeness of the previous Spring Season of 2006, but now that nearly all of the major series have finished apart from Kaze no Shoujo Emily and Dennou Coil, my mind has changed. The major... | | |
| 8:29am | ... and the Beginning of Autumn Season | | | | Every beginning has an end. True but it works also the other way around. Now with only three shows continuing (Hayate no Gotoku, Higurashi no naku koro ni Kai and Sky Girls), it's time for the new season, packed again with romance/harem/comedy for the masses. I only bothered here with shows that are... | | |
| 8:01pm | Yuri Anime: Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl, Volume 2 (English) | | | | The subtitle of Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl, Volume 2 is "Triangles Hurt" but what it really ought to be is "Tomari lies to herself, then stops."Because that's what this volume is about, mostly. Tomari, having seen Hazumu and Yasuna kissing, jumps to the obvious conclusion that that kiss was sealing a... | | |

| 1:14am | End of Season Blogging | | | | As most perceptive viewers have noticed, not much gets posted here. I’m fairly busy with things in life, such as catching up on all the 2006 anime that I missed, getting an A in Calculus I, and maintaining a social life consisting mostly of LAN parties.

He’s the genius behind Full Moon wo Sagashite and yet he also did its polar opposite of Ginga Densetsu Weed. Heck, he even worked on a few episodes of Simoun! For Code-E, he goes back to his slice-of-life roots, when he,... | | |
