| 10:48pm | Swimsuits – The meaning of summertime? | | | | Well, we’re well into summer here in the UK – it’s the tradition here to have an uncharacteristically warm spell in June, which gets all the nice hours of sunshine out of the way to make way for business as usual during July and August (if the recent years are anything to go by…) And what... | | |
| 11:31pm | Top Picks – Spring 2009 Anime, Part 2: Genre and Misfit Awards | | | | As I’m writing this, I’m half-surprised to see no one mention a certain show not getting any awards and I’d be even more surprised after this part so I figured I should mention it’s lack of showing. The show in question is the Full Metal Alchemist remake. The reason why it hasn’t shown up... | | |
| 2:08pm | June Summary | | | | The interesting thing with this month is that yet again I had no clear favourites. There’s a bunch of shows that I really like, but there’s not been a series for me that really stood above the others this month.

To help reach that point it... | | |
| 3:11am | So a butler, a seleção, and a data entity walk into a blog post | | | | And the owner of of the blog says, “What the hell kind of introductory paragraph am I supposed to make from this?” Sadly enough, I haven’t been popular enough to have any rumors of my blogging death to greatly exaggerate (in the Mark Twain fashion) – perhaps this is due to the... | | |
| 12:52am | Genius Party | | | | Japan has a lot of good talent working in animation. Most people just don't know it, because without knowing what you're looking for, it's hard to locate the good work amongst the flood of productions released every year. In Japan, as anywhere, the nature of this talent is multifaceted. The focus of... | | |
| 12:12pm | I Endorse Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen | | | | Yes, and I’m one of those that fought to watch it at the first day!This is one of those movies that actually make you OBLIGATED to watch it. Yes, the first movies was stupendous, and fantastic in every angle, but this one, it says “fuck you, watch me” right in your face. And probably... | | |

| 8:52pm | Eden of the East review |  | | | Although it was one of the shortest anime TV series to air recently, I feel it’s definitely one of the best The story/plot of Eden of the East (a.k.a. Higashi no Eden) is one that’s not only creative, but it also makes a worthwhile commentary about the current political and economic status... | | |

| 3:21am | Nostalgic upload: English Pokemon CDs | | | | Back in the day, I used to collect everything Pokemon, including the English music CDs that were released in 1999 through 2001.
