| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |

| 3:19am | Don’t you DARE touch my tako wiener, Hiromi. | | | | That is not your tako weiner. That is my tako weiner. Touch it and I kill you. So true tears continues to impress. I’m not necessarily a “fan” of galge adaptations in general, love of ef - a tale of memories aside, but true tears is a weird galge adaptation: for one, I don’t... | | |

In case you have difficulty in deciphering the gist of this post due to my verbosity, here’s Cliff Notes for you: It’s like casting pearls before swine. Which is my passive-aggressive, catty and unnecessarily confrontational way of saying either “What... | | |

| 12:32am | True Tears: A Closer Look | | | | The more I watch, the more I fall in love with True Tears. Perhaps the most engaging thing about the show at this point is the tacit suggestion that there’s “more than meets the eye,” as far as Isurugi Noe’s obsession with collecting tears is concerned. Is there a supernatural... | | |
| 7:57am | January Summary | | | | We’ve now passed one third of the Winter-season. I must say that it’s been one of the best winter-seasons we’ve had in years. There are so many potentially awesome series, and there have been hardly any disappointments so far. #31 (new) - H20 ~ Footprints in the Sand - (5/10) - I find it strange... | | |
| 11:07pm | Mnemosyne -- Sex, Violence, and a Great Cast | | | | The science fiction thriller Mnemosyne begins airing this Sunday, 3 February. An interview with cast members is studded with words like "violent," "erotic," "mysterious," and "suspense." I may not be a big fan of violence, but when it is as stylish as it seems to be in the trailer, I'll be there for... | | |
| 9:40pm | Yuri Anime: Simoun, Volume 2 (English) | | | | It's "Hold the Presses" weekend here at Okazu! It is with much thanks that I review the second volume of Simoun today. The fantastic folks at Media Blasters got me a pre-press copy this time, so I could get a jump on this review. :-) (That doesn't get you out of giving me a real one, guys! lol)Because... | | |
| 8:04pm | January 2008 Anime -- First Impressions | | | | Based on one or two episodes, here are some first impressions:true tears -- After two episodes, this is the cream of the crop, for me. Beautifully directed, with interesting characters, and silences full of meaning. The animation is almost KyoAni-level. Takagaki Ayahi is outstanding as the electric... | | |
| 8:22pm | True Tears - 02 | | | | And the time has come for me to choose which shows to blog. In case you’re wondering: no, I’m not going to blog Hatenkou Yuugi. Basically, the only thing that stands out for that series are the characters and the complicated dialogue, and I didn’t like how the second episode placed... | | |
| 1:27pm | Winter 2008 Anime - First Impressions | | | | Another year, another fresh new batch of anime, and another damn first impressions blog entry. This one promises to be absolutely nothing special! But I do feel a tiny urge to share my thoughts anyway, and so let's have the thought sharing begin~ No big splash titles standing out from the pack... | | |
