| 9:10am | The K-ON! Girls And An Utterly Craptastic Performance | | | | Before episode 6, I was expecting that the school festival live performance would slightly salvage the already ‘meh’ image I had for K-ON!. It’s usually these live performances that make a music themed anime memorable, or so I thought. Just take a look at BECK, or even non-music related... | | |
| 3:26am | Live Action Review - Star Trek | | | | I kind of hate it that my first “real” post coming back from my hiatus is for a live action movie, but that’s how it is. Now, on to the review Star Trek is a sequel/prequel/reboot/whatever /all of the above of the Star Trek franchise which has been dead in the water since Star Trek:... | | |
| 3:43pm | 8 Must Watch Anime for Spring 09 | | | | Following through my post on the most promising spring series this year, it’s time to re-evaluate that list. It’s already about a month into the season so I’ve managed to catch all the series I wanted to. Some were not as good as I originally thought, while some proved to get better... | | |
| 8:26am | Morinaga Milk’s Girl Friends Vol.1 and 2 | | | | I’m not entirely sure why I suddenly decided that I had to have these two tankubon. But when I did, Amazon.jp (even Marketplace) was out of stock, Kinokuniya Singapore refused to accept my order - something about ‘due to the content’ and the vigilant eyes of the Customs officers of... | | |
| 12:00am | Macross Zero is a Peculiar Prequel | | | | [This posts does not use spoiler tags, but provides sufficient warning] I don’t believe it tells the story of how everything begins. If anything, it introduced or complicated the mysteries of the extended narrative; in particular that of the Protoculture, the mysterious ‘first race’... | | |
| 2:14pm | Pandora Hearts - 05 | | | | In this episode, we get some more clues as to what exactly happens when a monster from the abyss makes a contract with a human. It’s basically a method for both of them to get out of the Abyss, but it’s not going to last forever: at one point both of them will be dragged back into the... | | |
| 7:16am | April Summary | | | | I think that this is the first time that this ever happened ever since I started including ratings in these summaries: none of the shows I’m watching has a rating of 9/10 or above. But that’s logical since the only awesome show that continued from the past month was Hajime no Ippo, and that... | | |
| 6:21pm | Souten Kouro Episode 4 - I am on uncharted territory. |  | | | I must admit that my knowledge of Cao Cao before the Romance of the Three Kingdoms era is very low (which means the later period of Eastern Han and its fall). I would probably need some help from nice readers to enlighten me on some issues that I will be discussing here. Obviously, rather than talking... | | |

| 6:17pm | Spring 2009 - The Season of the Simulcast |  | | | A year ago, Japanese studio Gonzo was on the verge of financial collapse and tried to dig themselves out by experimenting with a new idea for the US market. They introduced the simulcast, a free, legal, fully-subtitled copy of their Spring 2008 series Drauga and Blassreiter. They would make each episode... | | |
| 4:00pm | Eden of the East: Theories on a Conspiracy, or: Tinfoil Pope Hats | | | | If you’re more interested in general impressions/thoughts rather than tinfoil pope hattery, I direct you to the bottom of the post [->] where you might find a few words to that effect. Has anyone figured out, really, whether Eden of the East is a pure political suspense/thriller with the... | | |
| 8:12am | Gundam 00 Second Season Final Analysis (Part 1: The Characters) | | | | The Events Of Gundam 00 Second Season Are All Said And Done, And It Is Now The Time For Making Speeches And Reflecting So let me start by saying this..”what a ride this one was”.
