| 6:00am | Death Note – Series Review | | | | This is one of those titles that everyone and their brother have seen. A quick check at ANN shows that it’s still one of the top ranked animes according to fans that have voted there. It wasn’t without it’s problems though and so for me to discuss them in more detail I’m going to remind those... | | |
| 5:08am | Nia Wallpaper Gallery |  | | | Here we have some rather appealing images of Nia, from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, in high resolution and quality and fit for wallpaper use, or indeed quite possibly just gawking at. Some of them look to be drawn from her recent artbook. Also see them on the Channel. | | |
| 8:31pm | Cherry picking in autumn | | | | Hello, my name is bateszi. I’m a generic anime blogger and this is my generic autumn preview. Please enjoy these poorly researched comments on anime that I know nothing about, talking about new series with the same pictures, synopsis and links that you can see in dozens of other autumn previews... | | |
| 7:00am | quickie video links | | | | Hulu has added anime including dubbed Mushishi. Little Busters Ecstasy OP are we going to get Little Busters before or after Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya? Interesting YouTube clip of Wario. Japan gets a new Alice Prime Minster, some Code Geass with a side of gar, the final Gurren Lagann Parallel... | | |
| 1:08am | Cosplay impressions of AWA 14 |  | | | CJ has the news from the con while I post pictures of cosplay. Again, I was happy to be part of a cosplay group from my anime club this weekend, so I wasn’t bored all the time. Also being in pictures means I don’t have as much time to take them all day. So there are fewer, but my album... | | |
| 10:00am | Anime Odds’n’Ends From the Summer Season | | | | I realized that due to different reasons I’ve missed mentioning a few anime related things over this summer season and had the idea of making a single post out of them.The first thing was to mention the Gurren Lagann Parallel Clip Project. This was a project by Gainax in which Gainax employees would... | | |
| 4:55pm | MikomiCon 2008 | | | | For three years, I attended California State University Northridge, trying to balance my study schedule with my Fullmetal Alchemist schedule. Yet, during this time, I had no idea that the large university in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley was home to its own anime convention. In fact, I found out... | | |
| 12:21am | Anime Weekend Atlanta Wrap-Up |  | | | I wasn’t planning on going over everything that happened at AWA, especially since I wasn’t even there. (Crisu was though!) But since tons of very relevant tidbits happened there, I might as well summarize them here. First of all, Funimation indirectly confirmed that yes, the release date-less... | | |
| 11:34pm | Anime@UNM |  | | | My new town has a strong anime club, which I finally visited. They sure take things seriously. Officers discuss the club business. Members watch KKN. Besides getting to know people, I watched a couple of shows (both pretty bad). Kyoran Kazoku Nikki was an absurd premise and slapstick, with a thin... | | |
| 7:05am | The Fourth Titan |  | | | When I regard my anime favourites, I see a big gap between the few I consider truly great, and the best of the rest. Azumanga Daioh, Manabi Straight, and Haibane Renmei tower over the crowd of lesser shows like three titans of anime series. Actually, this picture is obsolete, because I’ve seen... | | |
| 2:40am | Touching on AWA 2008 |  | | | Well I totally missed the announcement about Toonami until CJ posted something. And I was here ^^;; Not that I’m big on panels. I seem to go to cons solely for the photography and the dealer’s room. With the money I pay for admission, I ought to be going to panels and writing down important... | | |
| 10:59pm | Woah, Did I Just TOTALLY Miss Our 1-Year Anniversary? |  | | | FUUKO! CELEBRATE WITH FUUKO! *dances* . ha. I MISSED IT, BIG TIME. ‘Cause, you know, it happened to be right around the time I started yucky public school. Yes, it has been somewhere around 396 days since Borderline Hikikomori had its first post (the domain was claimed in March 2007, but it sat... | | |
| 10:02pm | awa08: Bandai | | | | Aaaand Bandai Entertainment producer Toshifumi Yoshida is here in place of Robert Napton, huzzah! Technical difficulties are now over’d, yay. Opening with the Geass trailer. Oh, Toshi told me he’d have nothing new, so if you’re hoping for a new announcement you don’t need to... | | |
| 4:00pm | Looking Back at 2007: Gurren Lagann, 1-9 |  | | | This serious moment was brought to you by THE funniest hot springs episode ever Mike finally begins watching something 99% of you readers have probably already seen and loved. What does he think? Can Gainax redeem themselves after making so many unbearably generic and sometimes just plain bad works... | | |
| 6:50pm | New order arrived |  | | | Delivery was strangely quick this time. The box is unexpectedly large, and full of corn. I hate shipping corn. I hoped for a 12×9x6 box, but it looks like I only get useful boxes when I order with the cheap-ass shipping. I heard some good things about Futari Ecchi. Gurren Lagann and To Heart need... | | |
