| 9:35pm | Ooh Melodrama! Hanasaku Iroha Does it So Salaciously Good | | | | You often hear how melodrama is some kind of bad thing, as if there’s a high drama that people are so familiar with that they easily dismiss a great many shows because the drama is ‘melo.’ I’m not trying to stir up melodrama here with my straw-mannish opening to this post, but rather I suggest... | | |

| 1:43pm | Madoka Magica and…Sacrifice? | | | | Puella Magi Madoka Magica has come and gone, and it’s going to be a subject of much discussion. Part of it may simply be that the delay caused by the earthquake in tsunami Japan magnified the anticipation for the finale even more than the already huge expectations for the show, but I think this... | | |
| 12:00am | What The Robots You Voted for Sai Mecha Round 1 (Colonies Side) Say About You | | | | The previous entry on What The Robots You Voted for Sai Mecha Round 1 (Earth Side) Say About You resulted in a mass self-awareness event. No need to thank me, I’ve only arrived at my Newtype powers in the thick of battle: it is only in a contrived environment like the Sai Mecha can one release all... | | |

| 12:00am | Mazinkaiser SKL 03: The LAST WORD on Super Robot Violence | | | | This short OVA is complete. It’s legacy is to accomplish what the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Movies failed to do: to deliver the best robot battles involving super robots. To be fair, Lagann-Hen had nowhere to go but bigger and cheesier to outdo the series finale. So let’s overlook that. Instead,... | | |
