| 11:33am | Anime Sales Rankings Feb. 6 - Clannad & Macross On Top |  | | | These are the sales rankings for anime DVDs as compiled by Oricon for the week of Feb. 6 2009. In addition, the much longed for availability of BD sales rankings is slowly arriving, albeit still lacking exact sales numbers and being reported with a significant delay. It has been some time since we... | | |
| 2:05am | Slayers:Evolution-R must spawn more Overlords | | | | Given how disappointed I was with Slayers: Revolution, I should have had much lower expectations of Slayers: Evolution-AARGH. But it seems fanboy hope springs eternal as I was disappointed with the first episode, especially the lack lustre OP song. While I’m in agreement with Aroduc and Star Crossed... | | |
| 6:03pm | Funi’s Licensing Spree: What They Got, And What They Seem To Have Missed |  | | | Funimation had been seriously hyping up their New Year’s “New Show A-Go-Go” licensing announcement spree.

Without further ado, we bring to you this almost complete list of this sequel-filled... | | |
| 4:52pm | Anime Vice Check-In 01/01/09 | | | | Happy New Year, everyone! This will probably be the last time I do one of these check-ins, although I’m looking into having a plug-in that’ll round up the Anime Vice twitter daily. We’ll see if I can find something. In the mean time Tuesday 12/23 - Haruhi-chan Beats Haruhi by a Mile... | | |
| 9:53am | Problems on the blog front | | | | Every time I try to save a revision to a published post, it just goes to a blank page under http://hontouni.com/souomou/wp -admin/post.php The post gets truncated to plus/minus 350 words T_T [continued from previous post] Figures expenditure amounted to around SGD 300. The year’s acquisitions... | | |
| 8:35am | HNSO 2008 Expenditure | | | | [Having a LOT of problems operating the blog now. Not sure if it's the WP install, my host or my internet connection. Can't enable comments either - like it's got the Author virus or something.] I’ve read Stripey and Adun’s 2008 expenditure reports with great interest and have to say from... | | |
| 1:05pm | Best Anime of 2008 | | | | Maybe it’s because I didn’t watch as many anime as I did last year due to work, but it seems like the overall quality of anime released this year wasn’t as high as last year. That doesn’t mean that the series that came out this year are bad. It’s just I find that there... | | |

| 5:10am | Slayers Revolution 01 |  | | | I wish I could say that it was the shittiest shit ever shat down the shitter, because this is how it felt. But actually the show was very nice if one can get over the characters and story that welcome fecal comparisons, so I cannot say that. Especially Lina is sure controversial. Fig 1. Lina quotes... | | |
| 1:46am | Slayers Evolution-R Air Details | | | | Details on the airing of the next season of Slayers Revolution, cunningly titled Slayers Evolution-R, have been announced; we hear that the first broadcast will be 9PM on the 12th of January, 2009, on AT-X.
