| 4:09pm | ARIA : The manga side of things | | | | ARIA reference in Sketchbook ~full colors~?Did you know that the team behind the anime adaption of ARIA came together again to do Sketchbook ~full colors~? I think it was an excellent decision on the studio side, since the pacing for ARIA is quite similar to Sketchbook. I must say that they did an excellent... | | |
| 7:09am | Pencil Or Pen? | | | | Well~ With SOY over and having the honor to be a judge for the event, it was fun.

| 1:31pm | A “Character Study” on Hidamari Sketch with Pictures and Sentences. Duh. |  | | | Written by TheBigN I’m not the only one that’s pleased that someone has finally subbed the Hidamari Sketch specials (now if only Sketchbook could finish at least :P).

| 2:05pm | INSTANT REVIEW: nichijou vol. 1 | | | | A gag manga featuring quirky girls in school. Though my reasons for buying this are faulty at best (was placed next to Yotsuba& on display, author uses archaic “wi” in name) I was greatly rewarded for my purchase! Of course, I’m not very well-versed in gag manga, so this might... | | |
| 8:08am | ARIA The ORIGINATION Promo | | | | A little behind on the bandwagon for this but I realised that at the end of Sketchbook was the promotion video for ARIA The ORIGINATION. From the look of things, seems that they are not going to use the same style as the OVA which is rather a shame as I liked the style used in the OVA, even though it... | | |
| 5:15am | Sketchbook ~full color’S~ - 13 | | | | With a lot of slice of life series, there really is no ending, and the same applies to Sketchbook. With everyone gathering together to enjoy the sakura trees, and with the introduction of Ooba Tsukiyo, it was a nice way to start off the last episode, and as the episode progressed, we see each of the... | | |
| 12:12am | Sketchbook ~full color’S~ - 12 | | | | A day out into the city can bring about many wonderful things as it’s almost like an adventure, well assuming you don’t head into the city often. And for these girls, it was an adventure, and to kick it off, the episode went off ARIA style with the opening theme playing whilst we watch the... | | |
| 5:00am | First Thoughts on Gunslinger Girl - Il Teatrino - | | | | As a huge fan of the original Gunslinger Girl anime, as well as the ongoing manga, I’m definitely very excited about seeing how this new season will turn out. The change of studio and cast obviously means the second season will be different from the first, but for the most part I remain pretty... | | |

| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 6 - Music & Voice Acting | | | | Up to this point the awards have mostly been silly and nonsensical. The final two days of our award show, however, will be a little different. We’re putting aside the random awards in favor of a few more traditional categories. Today we’ll be talking about the best the year had to offer... | | |
| 9:14am | Omo’s year 2007 |  | | | It’s long, but not boring. I’ll pick just a few tidbits. What’s amazing about 2007 was I managed to get a new top 10 anime on my list in the form of Manabi Straight.
