| 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... | | |

| 8:36pm | Kaleido Star Anime, Volume 2 (English) | | | | For anime fans in general, but more specifically for fans romantic pairings, there's a delicious moment when one of the couple starts getting very irritated at his/her reaction to the other one. Often that irritated reaction is the sum and total of their personality, spawning any number of tsun-xyz combinations.... | | |

| 11:55pm | Yuri Anime: Simoun, Volume 3 (English) | | | | You know those moments? When you're watching a really good anime and all of a sudden you think, "Crichey, this anime is stellar."Volume 3 of Simoun is when an excellent series becomes stellar.I took 4 pages of notes about things I wanted to mention, but I realized that if I mention any of them, I will... | | |
| 5:09pm | Cooking the books (2007 DVD Expenditure) | | | | I’ve been meaning to follow the examples of Adun and Stripey in consolidating my anime-related expenditure for 2007 (mainly for my own budgeting records and planning) but accounting for the August Japan trip has made it rather complicated. Have finally decided to split things up by product category;... | | |
| 9:52pm | Mobile Suit Gundam Review - 85/100 | | | | One thing I like about watching a classic anime is to recognize the different anime that would pay homage to it in later years. Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky is another example of this. Mobile Suit Gundam (0079) brought the mecha-genre away from the cheesy giant robot-shows of Go... | | |
| 6:44am | True Tears round-up |  | | | These are blogging reactions which I was going to admire, debate and mock upon the completion of true tears. Since I’m obviously not going to start now, might as well dump the list. This goes on top of what I posted previously. Jeff Lawson, first impression: [T]he CG work in True Tears is damn... | | |
| 1:28pm | Why do you hate anime so much? Why? |  | | | Kill all anime fans. Kill them all! I read DannyChoo’s entry on Anime Haters and wondered about something that seems to be common among the complains. It’s the phrase Naruto. Before you think that this is an entry that I will go about bashing or worshiping Naruto, this is perhaps the last... | | |
| 5:09pm | I’m succumbing to the urge of a first impressions post | | | | Ah, I see, Osusu is still having fun fulfilling the prejudices of the “rage of Sasa’s cobloggers”, haha. As for myself, I shall finally write something about anime too. It’s the first time in my multiple years of blogging that I ever wrote a “First impressions” post... | | |
| 4:39am | Nabari no Ou: Ninjas! Plants! Watercolor Backgrounds! | | | | Approximately two weeks late I finally manage to catch the first episode of Nabari no Ou. I was going to do two at once but that backfires when you don’t actually have the second episode on hand, so this reflects the first episode. I was actually fairly pleased with the first episode, much more... | | |
| 6:28pm | Vampire Knight -- character/seiyuu pics and info | | | | Vampire Knight is one of the shows I am enjoying this season. But it is a little hard to keep the various members of the "night class" straight. So I have translated the official site's characters page, adding a pic of each seiyuu.Click here or on the image to go to the full page:I don't want to put... | | |
| 8:16pm | Spring Anime -- 10 More First Looks | | | | So far, Kurenai is the only show that I think might equal my top shows of the past year (true tears, ef, Blue Drop, Hitohira, Lucky Star), but this is a very broad season, with many good shows, several of which could develop into something great. I covered 24 shows in a previous post. Here are ten more... | | |
| 10:19pm | Spring Anime: 24 First Looks | | | | After one episode, Kurenai, Macross Frontier, and Vampire Knight are at the top of my list. In fact, there are lots of watchable shows, but unless Kurenai steps up, there is nothing really in my drama sweet spot. Here are some reactions to first episodes (which can be misleading).Kure-nai -- the director... | | |
