| 11:05pm | Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuuuutsu – 19 |  | | | Finally over! Endless Eight Episodes ENDED! Jesus that was a long time, I can start actually watching this show now instead of skipping to the end for the Kyonfail and trying to find Mikuru crying.

| 4:53am | Kabitzin’s July 2009 List |  | | | They tell me I have a lovely Barry tone I’ve cleared up a big chunk of my backlog, and it’s been glorious. I still have to watch the second season of Spice and Wolf, as well as Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, but I have heard good things about both series. Has Umi Monogatari gotten any better? ... | | |
| 10:25pm | Spring Anime -- 2channel vs. TV Ratings vs. AnimeSuki | | | | It was interesting to see the differences in popularity for summer shows among 2channel, TV ratings, and AnimeSuki. So I thought I'd look at spring shows. Particularly the ones that are still on.Fuller lists of figures are below, but Suzumiya Haruhi is the biggest topic of conversation on AnimeSuki,... | | |
| 5:30am | Haruhi…endless eight…bla, bla…bla | | | | After, yet another, endless eight tragedy, I’m feeling a bit more angry than I was while writing my last post on the subject. Basically, it started after that post. I decided to reminisce on the once-was Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu by doing a random google search.I stumbled upon the God Knows... | | |

| 4:56pm | The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Season 2 - Episode 8 (aka Episode 18) | | | | I won't lie to you, this constant repetition of the same episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is having an adverse effect on my life. I wake up every morning thinking "Something was strange", whenever I hear the phone ring I feel the need to call out "Kyon-kun, phone!", I end phone conversations... | | |
| 4:44pm | [Ascaloth] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2009), Episode 18: Endless Eight | | | | The Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody of three weeks ago was but a teaser to whet appetites, but this week the God Empress Herself makes an emphatic return.

| 1:34pm | Bandai and the Marketing Blitz of Kannagi |  | | | When the Japanese company Aniplex held an industry panel at Anime Boston last May, their emphasis on the unlicensed series Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens baffled the audience and bloggers. “Why are they spending so much time talking about Kannagi?” “The show’s still unlicensed,... | | |
| 10:06am | July Summary | | | | I must say, that we’ve got ourselves an awesome Summer Season here. Sure, there aren’t many series, but a significant majority of the new series succeed at what they intend to do. There may not be a lot of shows with awesome and ambitious story-lines, but in terms of slice of life and characterization,... | | |
| 11:45pm | Suzumiya Haruhi 2009 - 18 (Endless Eight) |  | | | Of course there was still no end, however there were actually a few small but arguably notable differences this week, iteration 15527.
