| 12:00am | Hatsukoi Limited is Where all the Males are Limited | | | | I’ve grown rather fond of Hatsukoi Limited. It feels every bit the generic junior/high school hijinks romance comedy with some dramatic elements. What sets it apart for me is the gorgeous character designs by J. C. Staff, that to me, is superior to their work on Toradora! Why is this a critical... | | |

| 12:00am | We End Up Watching More Anime, Here’s How | | | | Two weekends ago I noted that I had watched over 100 days worth of anime. Granted that I rewatch shows habitually, this still means that I’ve completed over 150 shows, much of it over a year’s time. I have gone from casually watching anime a few episodes every weekend (and the odd marathon)... | | |

| 12:40pm | Glass Mask on Crunchy Roll | | | | You might recall that I called the latest anime adaptation of Glass Mask to be one of the best shows of 2005. You might also recall my lament that no one has ever finished fansubbing the series, and so even if you started watching you wouldn’t be able to enjoy it fully. Those days are numbered... | | |

Metareviews will start again for K-ON!, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and maybe a couple of other shows. I have some ideas for meta posts (i.e. the anime blogosphere, not anime) too.... | | |
| 5:10pm | So many damn K-ON! posts | | | | I haven’t really animeblogged in a while, so I thought I might do so today while I’m sick at home. K-ON! is the only spring 2009 show I have started, and I find it magically delicious. I could blog about the winter shows that I’m finishing up (like the horrible roller coaster that... | | |
| 4:10am | Skip Beat is Crap | | | | Lately I’ve been wondering, is Skip Beat really that awesome? Bloggers might not have given it much attention, but it’s certainly getting the spotlight elsewhere, be it in forums, chat rooms, or yahoo groups, with fans raving about it, praising it to the high heavens as though it’s a total Obra... | | |
