| 11:15am | Meru Otonashi and Japan's Negative Internet Culture | | | | It's funny how the Internet can bring out the best and the worst in people, and all of us seem to change a little when interacting with others online. Depending on various factors -- the kind of virtual interaction, the degree of anonymity of the participants and so on -- even the most passive person... | | |
| 9:38am | Rewatching Read or Die | | | | “Zaaaa Paaaay-paaaaah!!” Man, even years later hearing that ridiculous Engrish pronunciation of Yomiko Readman’s codename still makes me laugh out loud. I really should go back and rewatch my favorite classics more often. It helps recapture some of that nostalgic enjoyment that got... | | |

| 3:29am | Kemono no Souja Erin – I Take Back All The Bad Things I Said About It | | | | Sometimes I’d really like to figure out how my brain works because every now-and-again it does the oddest thing. This time I was minding my own business last week when I suddenly had the urge to start trying to catch up on the backlog I had with Kemono no Souja Erin. The last episode I had watched... | | |
| 8:16pm | Wonder Festival Summer 2009 | | | | Now I know I’m a bit late on the barrage of pictures from Wanfesu but let’s just hope that these images are the ones that nobody else took while there. I tried to look for more of the unique and eccentric garage kits and models. The convention itself was amazing and would recommend anyone... | | |
| 4:32am | Otou on Haibane Renmei |  | | | Otou reports on the greatest anime series ever. One of the unexpected turns (if not quite a twist) is like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann’s most masterful one: it turns out the series isn’t actually about who you think it’s about. Well… it is and it isn’t. No need to be so cagey about it: the... | | |

| 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,... | | |

| 1:00am | Dubbed anime ain’t so bad when Conan O’Brien does it |  | | | Newly-anointed host of NBC's "The Tonight Show", literal and figurative behemoth Conan O'Brien, has always been pretty damn funny - lately he's been getting a bit more buzz in some online circles after his set was recognized to look like a level in Super Mario - and now, he's made his foray into... | | |
| 2:01am | Theowne on Haibane Renmei | | | | Just a few notes on a review: Over my years of browsing anime forums, I’ve seen that there is generally a pattern in terms of how people respond to “Haibane Renmei”. There is one group of people who have watched the series and rave about it, ranging from calling it exceptional to deeming it a... | | |
| 1:34am | Comic Con 09: Bandai Panel Liveblog |  | | | 6:34 PM - people are still filing in. Looks like this will be a popular panel. 6:39 PM - Lantis is putting anime music on iTunes US. Haruhi OST, Shuffle, Oneigai Teacher, Hirano Aya, JAM Project, etc. 6:40 PM - why is it that Powerpoint presentations rarely come off smoothly? Kannagi, of course, was... | | |
| 12:00am | Still Enjoying Endless Eight (Yeah I went there) | | | | This is not an endorsement of the second and currently airing season of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. It doesn’t say here that this show is good, and that anyone is missing out. Rather, I agree with Pontifus when he says [->] All the weight/meaning in the world means nothing if you find the... | | |
