| 7:15am | To Heart is rather boring |  | | | I don’t think anyone considers To Heart amazing or a must watch. Perhaps it’s simply because of age, but To Heart simply doesn’t work its magic as a eroge adaptation (not that I’ve played the game) or a slice of life show. After watching other slice of life shows, I find To Heart... | | |
| 8:05am | Kannagi Episode 10 - Are we still in the right show? |  | | | Probably what most people thought when the episode first started. Assuming they’ve watched Lucky Star of course. This week’s Kannagi treats us to a delightful karaoke episode starring the “all-star” cast, as Akiba would say. The episode starts off very similar to the karaoke... | | |
| 11:25pm | Aria the Animation begins |  | | | It was a fairly inauspicous start. A thought even crossed my mind that it was SDB exacting his revenge on me for Azumanga. I’m going to follow through. It’s not actively objectionable, but rather bland like Sketchbook ep.4, only a full season. Mattew mentioned on #animeblogger that the... | | |
| 10:18pm | The Silent Types | | | | There’s a whole new trend for the strong-silent type of characters.

I thank those people that commented about this show back when I did my preview for this season because I probably wouldn’t have watched due to approaching my limit... | | |

| 12:28am | Natsume Yuujinchou Series Review | | | | One of the things that I’ve come to really enjoy about watching anime is that I have the chance to see types of shows that I would never see on American television. Natsume Yuujinchou falls into one such type – the supernatural slice-of-life show. As I’m typing this, I’m trying to think of an... | | |
| 5:38pm | No love for Sketchbook |  | | | We nearly had a mutiny a the club meeting yesterday, because members present were not enthusiastic about watching Sketchbook. Someone even floated an emergency proposal to switch to Toradora for the slot. In the end we proceeded as planned, and so I watched Sketchbook beyond the point I dropped it... | | |
| 5:43am | Fall Anime Impressions – Kemeko DX | | | | Continuing with more fall anime impressions, it’s time to check out one of the comedies of the season Kemeko DX. This one had me interested because Jason of DbD raved about the manga earlier this year and Hal Film Makers are the animators behind this show, known for great slice-of-life shows like... | | |

| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |
