| 6:25am | Blog Back log |  | | | I know I’m behined in by blogging of Vampire Knight : Guilty and the Skull Man from doing an episode a week as I orignally planned, but I’ll try to put a dent in this pile in the next few days. I also thinking of doing a Manifest 09 review, if you want to see a short review of Manifest 09... | | |
| 11:09pm | The Skull Man - Episode Eight |  | | | This episode of the Skull Man starts off with the Skull Man killing another individual in this series, as the victim this time is another person from the Byakureikai organization. As Shinjou as taken a liking to Nami in the previous episode of the Skull Man, this episode has Shinjou asking Nami on a... | | |
| 11:07pm | The Skull Man - Episode Seven |  | | | This episode of the Skull Man with Hayato and Kiriko being caught by the Byakureiki group, and then dumping their knocked out bodies at the garbage dump. I thought it was interesting that this episode confirmed that Kuroshio Mayu is a member/part of the Byakureiki group, with her mother being the leader.... | | |
| 10:12pm | The Skull Man - Episode Six |  | | | This episode of the Skull Man starts off with Kiriko staking out Byakureiki, while Hayato is listening to the tape that he obtained in the previous episode of The Skull Man. I thought that the scene where Kuroshio and other high ranking officials of Ootormo City was interesting, as Kumashiro Masaki... | | |
| 10:42pm | The Skull Man - Episode Five |  | | | As the previous episode of the Skull Man involved Tachiki being injured on the Phantom Monorail, this episode starts off with Kyoichiro getting a slap to the face from one of the nurses at Ootomo Hospital, for touching her backside, when telling a fictitious story, and making the nurse look at the ground.... | | |

| 10:25pm | The Skull Man - Episode Four |  | | | This episode of the Skull Man starts off on an interesting note with Kiriko and Hayato going back to the orphanage/church, where Hayato talks to Kanzaki about Sayo. I thought the scene where Kiriko is playing sumo wrestling with the kids of the orphanage was funny, as this scene shows that Kiriko is... | | |
| 10:45pm | The Skull Man - Episode Three |  | | | This episode of the Skull Man starts of an interesting note Yui the actress being sent a death threat of a picture of herself and her assistant (Sayoko) being crossed out, before Yui falls to the ground due to shock. I thought that the scene where Yui sends a double of her to try and pull one over... | | |
| 4:54am | The Skull Man - Episode Two |  | | | This episode starts off with Hayato being stuck in a police station, and Hayato and Detective Shinjou get into an arguing match. After Hayato leaves the police station, Hayato is greeted by a person by a Kuroshio representative (Kumashiro), which takes Hayato to his uncle’s place. During Hayato’s... | | |
| 10:32pm | The Skull Man - Episode One |  | | | First off I would like to say I’m a big fan of the works that Studio Bones produce, and this anime IMO is one of their works that doesn’t get much attention, so I’m going to see if this series is any good. Despite this anime airing in April 2007, the thing that attracted me to this anime is the... | | |
| 10:32pm | ‘Waiter, there’re noises in this OP!’ | | | | I’ve been busy, writing essays and experiencing the loneliness of the long-distance reader. Here’s a list of some post ideas I’ve thrown together, but not worked up: a condensed review of The Skull Man; a post about honour in the eighth episode of Space Runaway Ideon; praise for the... | | |
| 5:02am | Casshern Sins Trailer |  | | | This is justwow. Even better than the Skull Man trailer, which is what I keep comparing this show to in my mind since they’re both remakes/deconstructions of classic henshin hero shows. Definitely my pick for the fall season now. | | |
| 9:02pm | In Defense of Liking Bad Anime |  | | | IKnights article about his love of Karin got me thinking about if there was some forgotten or maligned anime I’ve seen that, despite my own high standards, I loved anyways. So I go to check out my MAL anime list and it turns out there’s not just one show that fits the bill, there’s... | | |
| 11:34pm | Impressions: Birdy the Mighty Decode |  | | | In some ways this is a complicated first episode, as there’s a lot of names and characters thrown around that aren’t wholly relevant. On the other hand, the premise is pretty simply. Birdy, an alien cop, comes to earth to hunt a criminal and in the process accidentally kills a guy, Tsutomu,... | | |
| 12:07am | The Skull Man - 01 |  | | | Shōtarō Ishinomori is probably one of the most overlooked and most under-appreciated manga artists in the whole anime/manga fandom in America. I, for one, love a lot of his creations (especially Cyborg 009, the live action Kamen Rider series [**** yeah!], and of course, this little gem: The Skull... | | |
