| 2:14am | Horo Hand Puppet Has Arrived! | | | | Back in May, I shared with you folks on the Spice and Wolf Horo Hand Puppet which was being released in promotion for the second season of Spice and Wolf. She was so cute that I enlisted the assistance of Tokyo Hunter and the postman delivered her to me on Saturday morning. I just love her cheerful... | | |
| 1:13am | Spice and Wolf II - 07 |  | | | Lawrence and Horo spend some quality time together as they arrive in Renose. Impressions: Man it was great to see Horo and Lawrence spend an episode together. Considering the last arc was really more focused on Lawrence it’s a nice change. Of course Lawrence is one of the key leads, but it’s... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group E – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Mikan, Rika, Francesca, and Minori. 4 for 4, however a bit on the predictable side — just glad to see Rika’s sweet face again, にぱー☆. Looking at the next set of matches, I see former champion Kagamin and main Clannad heroine Nagisa. It’ll be interesting to see how they’ll... | | |

| 7:21am | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Spice and Wolf 2 | | | | I think this will be the last summer anime impression post I do. There’s at least one other show I’d write a post up about (GA – Geijutsuka Art Design Class) but the subs have been really slow and I don’t want to wait another month to get enough episodes to be able to do a post. (I’m not... | | |
| 6:59am | Spice & Wolf II – Episode 0 (OVA) | | | | Korosu! Poor Lawrence Craft may be a genius at business, but he sure is dense when it comes to other matters. I haven’t kept up with the Spice and Wolf manga or light novels much since the first season of the anime aired. Fortunately, the first anime season was brilliant and captured most of... | | |
| 1:21am | Barely breathing | | | | Medical school is akin to barely breathing. We had three exams just a week ago, and two more this coming week. Despite knowing that Spice and Wolf II is currently airing, and that there are still some anime that are worth watching (plus, is Lelouch really alive? When will the OVA come out?), I don’t... | | |

If he made the wrong move then it would all... | | |

Yep, I thought so Me too.Of course, the first half of the episode gives us plenty of tension... | | |
| 10:19pm | Back from Japan (here’s all the anime goodies I bought!) |  | | | Me in front of a big K-ON! poster ad in Akihabara I got back from my 3-week stay in Japan a couple of days ago. To say the least, I had an awesome time but it’ll take me a while to gather all the photos and write complete coverage of my trip. So for now, I decided to simply share photos and info... | | |
