| 7:43pm | Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei #6 | | | | This was the most youthful and energetic feeling episode. That's saying a lot. Each episode so far has been full of hustle and energy. But this one felt particularly lively and full of enthusiasm for some reason. I suspect the reason is because it's storyboarded and directed by Shingo Natsume, an animator... | | |

The setup is complete, let the plot move forward!No... | | |

| 10:34pm | Anime St. Louis 2010 | | | | Anime St. Louis is really the impulse convention of the year for me.
