| 7:57am | January Summary | | | | We’ve now passed one third of the Winter-season. I must say that it’s been one of the best winter-seasons we’ve had in years. There are so many potentially awesome series, and there have been hardly any disappointments so far. #31 (new) - H20 ~ Footprints in the Sand - (5/10) - I find it strange... | | |
| 10:50pm | Some quick first impressions: Spice and Wolf, Noramimi and Hakaba Kitarou | | | | Spice and Wolf So this is what you get if you hand an award-winning novel to an animation-company like Imagin: an authentic atmosphere, interesting characters, and a main female lead who spends nearly the entire episode without any clothes whatsoever and basically ruins the entire series. Still, I... | | |
| 10:42am | Winter season preview - A few interesting things indeed | | | | Finally, I have finished researching the series I want to watch next, and as you might have noticed, I am looking much more forward to this season than the last. Especially since I ended up watching nothing but Kaiji regularily - which didn’t even appear on my list. I hope and expect my predictions... | | |
| 11:09am | Winter Season Preview | | | | Whoa, this is one of the smallest seasons we’ve had in years! To give some numbers, this preview consists out of only thirteen series (I left out the continuations of the series that I haven’t seen like Ah My Goddess, Minami-Ke and Major, and yes, one day I WILL watch Aria). And yet, I’m... | | |
| 12:20pm | September Summary | | | | + September 2007 Rankings + And finally the Spring- and Summer-seasons have ended. Last month, I received the comment that my ratings have been a tad too high, though I must say that they’ve possibly become even higher. But then again, September has been the best month in terms of anime for... | | |
| 5:36pm | 2007 Fall Anime Menu | | | | The winds of change are blowing, bringing with it quite a number of new titles, some sequels, a whole lot of moe school girls, some working hamsters, a pinch of magical girls, and, what anime season would be complete without the obligatory petri dish of super-deformed bacteria! The Scrumptious Anime... | | |
| 9:38pm | Tetsuko no Tabi Review - 79/100 | | | | The summer-season came with a lot of interesting and unique series. Probably the weirdest of them is Tetsuko no Tabi. Not weird as in an extremely strange setting, but weird as in “how the heck did this get turned into an anime!?” Basically, what we have here is one of the very few non-fiction... | | |
| 9:42pm | Code-E Review - 86/100 | | | | Toshiyuki Kato is probably one of the most versatile directors out there. He’s the genius behind Full Moon wo Sagashite and yet he also did its polar opposite of Ginga Densetsu Weed. Heck, he even worked on a few episodes of Simoun! For Code-E, he goes back to his slice-of-life roots, when he,... | | |
| 11:02am | Lucky Star Review - 60/100 | | | | Ah, Lucky Star. You’ve been one of the most popular series of the past Spring-season, along with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Throughout 24 episodes, you’ve shown us the antics of a bunch of random schoolgirls and an in-series TV-show called Lucky Channel. The potential is there, but there... | | |
| 8:29am | August Summary | | | | + August 2007 Rankings + Okay, last time the ratings were a bit confusing so let me explain them for a bit. They’re out of 10, just like the school-system. 6,0 is average, and you really shouldn’t look for likable series below it. Anything above 9,0 is awesome, hence definitely recommended.... | | |
| 4:40am | Current Anime Series Popularity -- Japan vs. Abroad | | | | I'm taking the simplest possible method of judging how otaku in Japan and outside it grade the current shows: current number of threads on 2channel vs. number of posts on AnimeSuki. This is more an index of interest than approval, but it at least gives us some comparisons. Actual Japanese TV ratings... | | |
| 10:28am | July Summary | | | | July 2007 Rankings As you can see, this section’s got a few new features. Someone requested to give out series ratings of the past month, and I decided to give it a try. Rating individual episodes was clearly a bad idea, but I liked the idea of monthly ratings, so I decided to let my rating system... | | |
| 11:12am | Weekly Round-Up: July 27th | | | | Reviewed this week: Cazador 15-16, Darker than Black 15-16, Doujin Work 3, Higurashi Kai 3, Mushi-Uta 1-2, RxJ 15, SaiMono II 15, Seirei no Moribito 15, Tetsuko no Tabi 1…and in manga: Homunculus volume 8, Spiral 41, Tsubasa 161, Yotsuba&! 48Zombie-Loan has been unceremoniously dropped, much like... | | |
| 3:50am | One Time Fansubs - Tetsuko no Tabi | | | | Just quit. Seriously, take your name seriously and just stop now, cuz damn. If you dont know japanese, dont fucking fansub a show. Almost every other line is a note from the subber saying “i dont know what he says here”. Wow, useless beyond belief, he didnt even translate the episode title... | | |
| 8:44pm | Tetsuko no Tabi Ep.1&2 | | | | After reading a few postings about Tetsuko no Tabi, I figured that most of them were so negative that I expect that nobody would blog it. Since I mentioned that I wanted to quit episodic blogging, I decided to make a huge exception for this little niche series. Actually I feel so bad for this series,... | | |
