| 6:45am | Kimikiss - Final Impressions | | | | What was broken with Kimikiss? Kouichi’s entire storyline. Going into Kimikiss I had no expectations. Even while it was airing I avoided pretty much any mubling about it because I knew that I was going to plow through it once it was completed. In a sense I was watching it for the first time like... | | |
| 7:16pm | ARIA-SHACHOU! | | | | Hehe. I didn’t get this reference the first time I watched Sketchbook. Very nice. Aria-shachou is WIN. I’m rewatching the episodes I had seen before I put it on hold so the show gets a fair rating chance. Definitely pick up Sketchbook if you’re an Aria fan. | | |
| 8:26am | Guru Guru Mawaru - School Rumble Love | | | | I wonder sometimes why I’m behind on so much anime. I don’t always follow the new anime since I hate waiting each week for the episode to be released, and then I hate waiting on the subs. I tend to drop a series then pick it back up when it’s complete and just marathon the entire show.... | | |
| 2:58pm | Go!Comi Snags ‘07-Ghost,’ Sells Steinberger Doujinshi | | | | Figures, I finally manage to get out and DO stuff on a weekend, and something actually HAPPENS. So, if you’ve got a single anime news feed on your reader, odds are good that you’ve already heard that Go! Comi has licensed 07-Ghost, Yuki Amemiya’s 2005 shounen fantasy (and debut manga).... | | |

| 4:15am | Aria the Animation - Sketchbook True Color’s with… Gondolas? | | | | Just finished up the first episode of Aria the Animation. I honestly cannot decide which is more slice of life and laid back between this show and Sketchbook Full Color’s, which is perhaps the only other slice of life similar to Aria I have seen. They’re really not that similar in terms... | | |

I’ve read some positive reviews (Star Crossed Anime Blog/Atarashii Prelude) and since I love historical violence, I think I’ll check it out.Yaoi manga has come to life? Yaoi fan girls can get excited about seeing their... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 5:35pm | Slow-down |  | | | I’m busy with various things, so anime is taking a back seat. The only reason I finished Hourglass OVA was that it only had 2 episodes. I have a growing in-progress pile: rentals of 12K (damn you Nick) and Patlabor (my own find! so proud), last volume of Jubei-chan (damn you J.P.), fansubs of... | | |
| 5:09am | Chi’s Sweet Home: The Attack of the Clock Show | | | | I am not a cat person, but Chi is not a cat. He is a kitten. There is a difference. There has been a bit of buzz about this series (including this attempt to somehow treat the series seriously which is ultimately doomed to failure because, well, this is Chi’s Sweet Home we’re talking about... | | |
