| 8:18am | Spring 2012 Anime First Impressions – Part 1 | | | | No matter how strong or weak a season of anime appears to be at the onset, one can always count on at least a couple of gems each season.

| 10:00am | Manga Realities: Exploring the Art of Japanese Comics Today | | | | Not long ago, I visited a manga exhibit in Ayala Museum, Greenbelt. Suffice to say, I loved it. However, this post is not about my own experience, as who would want to listen to the report of some anime blogger?

| 11:20pm | I am smitten by the song in the skies | | | | I know, I realize, I shame myself. I’m a nearly a year too late with this. Many things have been thought and said; what new chips can I possibly bring to the table? But I cannot help it. If it must be a mere repertoire of the obvious and the repetitive, then so be it. I write this having nothing... | | |

| 4:37am | Year 3: In Hiding |  | | | Miss me? How many posts must one make in a year’s time to be still considered “in the scene”? Two times? 20 times? 200 times!?
