| 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... | | |

| 6:12pm | Mission-E - 03 | | | | Short Synopsis: The target of this week: a girl with her pet bat. Highlights: Enemies get stronger and smarter as the series goes on. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 I’m not sure who on Anime News Network found it a good idea to lump all of the staff of Mission-E all together as directors, but... | | |
| 7:00pm | Yuri Anime: Simoun, Volume 4 (English) | | | | It's not uncommon to run across this comment in anime forums in any language, referring to any anime - "It gets better in later episodes." Whether it's correct or not is entirely dependent upon whether you *like* whatever literary theme that particular anime is abusing, of course. lolIf you have been... | | |
| 6:29pm | Amuri in Star Ocean 01 -- weird gem of moe science-fiction | | | | Now that there is a fansub for this show, perhaps it will begin to get the attention it deserves.Hoshi no Umi no Amuri 星の海のアムリ is a three-episode OVA done almost entirely in 3DCG, including the characters. I would call it a moe science-fiction fantasy: it's real moe, and real science fiction.What... | | |
| 1:22am | stupidity with fansubs: animenext day 2 |  | | | Between generally feeling exhausted from being up since 7:30am to the fact that the subway line that goes to our apartment was shut down for the weekend, thus making us not too excited about taking a roundabout way home at midnight, we went home early. We just ended up spending almost the entire day... | | |
| 5:57pm | Full Summer Anime Preview -- staff, cast, trailers, pics, stories | | | | For me, the best way to guess how good a coming anime will be, is by looking at its staff: the director and writers and animation director and sound director, and so on. People who have made good shows before tend to make good shows again.I sometimes start watching a show for its voice actors, but I... | | |
