| 8:16am | Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel promo | | | | Another Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel PV. When I saw “Twin Angel,” I thought it was the old hentai Twin Angels, and was expecting sex demons, shrine maidens, and strategically placed cherry blossoms. But no To my disappointment surprise, it’s this Twin Angel (no “s”). But having... | | |

| 8:55pm | sdcc: Broccoli | | | | At the tail end of an Archie Comics panel (SO nostalgic!), and then broccoli starts. Whee! Shizuki Yamashita presides, and she has no powerpoint today (technical difficulties), but she’s talking about the newly-released Koi Cupid and upcoming Sola (manga, natch). And then there’s the special... | | |
| 1:50am | sola - Manga First Look | | | | Yeah, so I liked the sola anime. Like, seriously. I have a slight obsession with the sky, and Mamiko Noto's voice is adorable. That said, I was really happy to find some manga scans online. owo The sola manga follows the plot of the anime fairly closely, although there's a bit more foreshadowing near... | | |
| 5:25pm | [Ascaloth] Cosfest VII, Day 2 | | | | Day 2 of Cosfest VII is also the day when the Cosplay Competition is held, and the winner of the Cosplay Competition was to receive an invitation to represent Singapore in the World Cosplay Summit 2008. As TJ was not present today, I’m afraid I’m the only one left here who has coverage of... | | |
| 3:36pm | Broccoli at AX08 | | | | Not a whole lot of information at this panel. No new announcements, but Jonathan Kung ran through recent releases, including the gorgeous first volume of Cosmode USA. If you are into cos-play, this is the publication for you. It’s a hardcover and it includes tips and tricks for cos-play. It’s... | | |
| 1:12pm | sola Review - 85/100 | | | | Whoa, I might as well start this review in the same way as I did with my Rocket Girls Review: I really need to be more careful on choosing which series I want to drop. When sola originally aired, I basically dumped the series after episode one, without giving much thought to it. If I recall correctly,... | | |
| 10:32pm | Ah, hear the glory of music | | | | By the way, she has little to do with the actual post. This post is inspired partly by stripey’s post on anime BGMs, but mostly by Sheryl’s amazing concert in Macross frontier and an old sheet music of Inuyasha that I came across. Lets face it, the music in anime can be really bad. They... | | |
| 1:07am | Sola Review: Let me see the sky | | | | When I first heard of Sola, it was on a small panel in Newtype. I saw Naru Nanao and Naoki Hisaya’s name, and I thought it was a good combination. But, for 1 reason or another, I wasn’t interested enough to watch it then. Months later, I saw the title again on an old to-do list of mine.... | | |
| 5:48pm | Sky girls and Sola | | | | Yesterday, I saw the sky girls OVA and 3 episodes of sola. Why? because the music’s good and I like the character designs. Well, to be more specific, Sky girls had really cute looking characters, great music, and excellent animation. The story isn’t the greatest, but I can see a lot of... | | |
| 1:19am | A request from your fellow blogger: Worksafe Anime Wallpaper | | | | There are a ton of people at work with Aegis-related stuff in their cubicles. They’ll probably think that I’m on crack if I tell them that bubbles and foam can take down the USS Arleigh Burke. The one thing I don’t understand from that Geass episode is why they used so many DDGs in... | | |

| 7:13pm | sola cosplay | | | | sola cosplayApparently, there are only two sola cosplayers in the entire world. Okay, there are probably more. But I only found two Matsuri cosplayers.

| 7:55pm | Fanime08: Broccoli LiveBlog | | | | Holy crap, Internets! Why wasn’t Gainax in here? (Okay, okay, the room is too small.) Anyway, I’m now sitting in the panel room watching the end of a workshop on cosplay posing, but in this room in just a little while will be (dun-da-dunnnn!) Broccoli’s panel. I’m not sure if... | | |
