| 4:27am | Taishou Yakyuu Musume: Thoughts So Far |  | | | So, as this current anime season in Japan comes to a close, there have been a large amount of series that I’ve been watching that have been damn enjoyable. The interestingly epic combo (Bakemonogatari with SHAFT x NISIOISIN), the action-packed adventure (CANAAN), the juggernaut from last season (... | | |
| 12:47am | Taisho Matthew Musume: A Biblical Look at Moe | | | | In thinking about my Taisho Yakyuu Musume-related post from yesterday, I was reminded of one of the difficulties some people have with understanding how varied the appeal of moe can be while still being considered moe. Sometimes people ask, “Why would you want to see helpless girls? Do you like... | | |
| 11:00pm | Noe is Moe. No, Not That One. | | | | Sometimes I watch an anime, and I get amazed at just how well that anime portrays a certain simple act. Years ago I was quite impressed by the level of skill and animation used to depict crying in Alien 9, years before Kyoto Animation would make it a trademark of sorts with their Key adaptations.... | | |
| 9:35am | Taishou Yakyuu Musume - Episode 8 | | | | It's been quite a while since I last got to sit down and watch an episode of Taishou Yakyuu Musume - So long that I might even have forgotten what the series is about. Oh wait, there's a clue in the title.Anyhow, as life continues for the Ouka-kai girl's baseball team, Noe frets that there's still something... | | |
| 8:28pm | Cross Game - 23 | | | | Okay, so now that this series has also delved into baseball for all-female teams, I just can’t help but hijack a part of this post for some comparisons on that other baseball show that’s airing this season: Taishou Yakyuu Musume, because this episode pretty blew all of its focus on baseball... | | |
| 2:51am | Evirus on Taishou Yakyuu Musume |  | | | About halfway through the season, he says that “Taisho Yakyuu Musume is the best new show airing during the Summer 2009 season” [Emphasis mine — Author]. I just knew it. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for this kind of thing For example, I’m building a storage cloud... | | |

| 10:15pm | Taisho Yakyuu Musume Sexy Seiyuu |  | | | The seiyuu behind the girls of Taisho Yakyuu Musume can be seen here sporting yukata, giving the female team an overall much better representation than we saw earlier in the rather ghastly historical reality versus lovely 2D seen recently. From left to right, starting with the back row, the characters... | | |
| 6:05pm | Taisho Yakyuu Musume: 2D vs 3D | | | | One of 2ch’s relentless researchers recently collected these images of ancient baseball Taisho Yakyuu Musume ( 大正野球娘 / Taisho Baseball Girls), comparing a pair of the source 3D images of early 20th Century Japanese schoolgirls used for the show’s OP and ED sequences to the somewhat... | | |
| 7:00pm | New Anime Season Summer 2009: Taisho Yakyuu Musume | | | | You know what the Japanese national sport is, right?

| 10:10pm | Taishou Yakyuu Musume - Episode 7 | | | | As currently airing series go, I think Taishou Yakyuu Musume must be the least taxing of the bunch while it uses both its period setting and general storyline to ease you through each episode in the most relaxed of fashions.Episode seven of the series is really no different in this regard, although it... | | |

| 8:59pm | Summer Anime Popularity -- 2channel vs. AnimeSuki | | | | Someone asked if I might be going to do a post on 2channel popularity any time soon. Sounds like a good idea to me.
