| 1:13pm | Dear Singapore, you can’t censor the internet |  | | | Ninja edit for bj0rn, who doesn’t want me mentioning where I got this news from someone who doesn’t want to be mentioned either, since he won’t stop whining in the comments, jeez. Since I’m not under the rule of 1984- I mean, Singapore, I’m mirroring the list of anime... | | |
| 10:19pm | school days: when an eroge’s bad end beats the good end |  | | | While I personally think that it’s a little bit too early to start with the summer season preview, I’m curious about School Days. I’m not really interested in watching it, but rather just how they handle it. First of all, I don’t want to watch it because the voice acting | | |
| 8:36am | Mirei San |  | | | View the rest of this post ( 50 images )Kotobukiya delivered my Mirei on the day of release but I returned it due to shoddy paint work around her lower pair of eyes. They were pretty good about replacing her for me but I had to wait a while as it was Golden Week at the time.Went absolutely crazy | | |
| 2:08am | Initial D? In MY Lucky Star?! | | | | Sweet mercy, the animation, the entertainment, the fanservice, and the lulz, just shot straight through the roof this week. We are already seeing the directorial switch coming into fruition here. It's been awhile since I've been so excited for a series. 18 more episodes to go. Buckle up~... | | |
| 10:26pm | Prince of Tennis NCC - 11 |  | | | Oh good, they didn't ruin this episode with Tezuka's aura nonsense. It made for a terrible episode back when he used it for the first time, but now it wasn't so bad.Summary - This episode starts off with a small flashback on how Tezuka recovered completely from his shoulder injury. Tezuka had | | |
| 3:20am | Square Enix Party 07: I need to start saving money now | | | | Proving why they are the stuff that dreams are made of, Square Enix Party 2007 delivered the goods I will be coveting all year long. While you may have already heard about the Final Fantasy XI expansion, several incredibly interesting announcements have already been made.I know this is an awkward | | |
| 10:15pm | Kamichama Karin - 06 |  | | | So while I was hoping that they’d do more on the school festival this week I guess this will be a 2 ep or 3 ep arc. Anyway Kazune’s been training Karin to learn to “run away” even if she gets a bit physically hurt. Karin is angry that he wants her to run away instead of | | |
| 9:59am | Fun Friday AMV (5/11/07) “Stop Watching Anime and Go Outside!” | | | | A recent batch of AMV awards were given out on the Web, and this video by dokidoki won both Best Comedy and Best Lip Sync. Played to the song “There Is Life Outside Your Apartment” by Avenue Q, the video is all about an anime junkie whose friends drag him outside to experience other joys... | | |
| 9:03am | Nodame Cantabile - 16 | | | | With’s Chiaki’s orchestra members assembled, he conducts Mozart’s Oboe Concerto in C Major K.314. Though he notices Mine snuck in and told him he’s not needed as there are enough members. Once playing, he notices how everyone is good, especially Kuroki, the oboe soloist. Back... | | |
| 8:53am | Weekly Oricon Top 30 - 5/14/07 | | | | All the times in the past that I’ve spoken bad about the OriconI’m sorry. Nothingabsolutely nothing compares to this week. Not only is there almost a total lack of new content, but what few debuts there are aren’t even all good. It’s a really, really depressing | | |
| 3:20pm | UVERworld - endscape PV (Terra e… OP) |  | | | UVERworld's latest song endscape is featured as the opening of the series Terra e which I actually ended up watching only two episodes of (and blogged just the first). Despite that, I remember how much I liked the small bits of it played in the promos and how the TV-size version didn't quite | | |
| 1:26pm | Japanese College Students Can’t Read | | | | It seems like the “Is our children learning?” issue over here in America has finally reached Japan. In an article in the Sankei Shimbun, a reporter writes about stories heard from a junior college teacher in Kyuushuu whose students have trouble reading. At the start of the semester, he | | |
| 2:12am | Naruto -Shippuuden- 233 |  | | | So it was a bit disappointing that the first half of the episode was spent on discussion while the last 5 min or so is where the real action was. I guess the good stuff is actually next week and not this week. So when they met up with Itachi (or so you think it’s Itachi) there was of course | | |
