| 5:12pm | Gainax Does It Again – Yoko’s S.t.a.r.S. Video Is the Next Big Step in Anime | | | | Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Gainax has been one of the most important studios in anime for well over a decade. Many people point to their Neon Genesis Evangelion as the work that evolved the entire anime industry into what it is today.

| 1:16pm | Futakoi Alternative Review - 77,5/100 | | | | I have no idea how horrifically bad the original Futakoi was, and I really don’t want to find out. Still, having heard that its sequel, Futakoi Alternative was nothing like it, completely different and story-wise had nothing to do with it; that it was supposed to be a really random and experimental... | | |
| 10:19am | Ess Tee Ey Arr Ess | | | | I didn't really like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, mostly due to it being targeted entirely outside my tastes. At best, I can say that I understand why people would like it, in much the same way I can say I understand why people like basketball or something, while the actual topic itself completely fails... | | |
| 12:00am | A Meditation on Robots, not mecha, ROBOTS! | | | | [This post will have many references, and no spoilers]. I’ve taken time to pause from my obsession with mecha anime typology (super robot vs. real robot) to consider robots in anime the non-galactic-busting, turn you into a God or a Demon kind; neither did I think of the mobile suit kind. I’m... | | |
| 9:15pm | Summer 2009 |  | | | Oops, I did it again Summer’s almost here, and so it’s time for the preview post. I decided to go all out again, and even tried to make the preview a little more readable. As usual, this post ignores any series that look like they were made before 1985, series that look like they were... | | |

| 3:03am | Marina Inoue’s Art |  | | | Popular idol-seiyuu Inoue Marina, famous for numerous roles, such as Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann and Alicia from Senjou no Valkryia, seems also to have another side to her. She can draw. She may be reminiscent of another artistically inclined idol, but her illustrations are far more classy; it... | | |
| 12:00am | Sky Crawlers: Heaven (Valhalla) on Earth | | | | [This post will spoil you. Watch The Sky Crawlers first, (I recommend it!) then read this post] Humans cannot deal with perfection, in this case, peace. Just as the copper-tops, the living batteries that power the mechanized dystopia of The Matrix cannot be placated by an utopian dream and require... | | |
| 7:00am | When an Anime Becomes a Keeper | | | | Probably due to crazy amount of work that’s always accompanies the end of school, I’ve noticed the pace of releases for several spring shows that I’ve been following has slowed.
