| 5:34am | Kekkaishi Episode 10 - Shikigami Chocolate Battle | | | | While Yoshimori uses a shikagami to try and get some amazing chocolate cake, Tokine’s cockroach phobia gets the better of her.Despite the somewhat brief description, this is a really, really good episode.

| 1:12am | Wednesday Artist Spotlight: Monkey Majik | | | | This week, I’m going to break the mold a little. Naturally, on a Japanese website, I’m going to cover Japanese bands, yes? Well, normally, you’d be right. This time, however, I am indeed writing about what’s technically a Japanese band. You might be a little surprised, | | |
| 10:13pm | Nodame Cantabile Vol. 2 - Manga Review | | | | Nodame Cantabile Volume 2 introduces two new cliche characters: the gay timpani player and the perverted master conductor. Did I write “cliche?” I meant weird.Story:Chiaki has enough to worry about with Nodame depending on him for food, and Mine just being generally annoying. On top of | | |
| 2:36pm | Wellber no Monogatari ~ Sisters of Wellber - 05 | | | | Heh, I’m beginning to like Wellber no Monogatari more and more with each episode progressing. This episode was surprisingly good, with far less annoying elements than the episodes before. It’s also got a nice sense of humour, which I really appreciate. The beginning of the episode was | | |
| 11:29am | Sumo Babies |  | | | What do Sumo wrestlers do on their time off? They take their babies and make em cry - who ever cries the loudest wins. Not only is this supposed to bring on good luck, it also brings on a sore throat for the baby and sore ears for everybody else. Seems pretty evil to me.More pics at Japan Probe.View... | | |
| 9:17am | Proposal Daisakusen - 03 |  | | | I really felt bad for Fujiki Naohito’s character in this episode but I also wanted to side with YamaP’s. My inner fangirl was having a battle with herself. So anyway Ken goes back into the past once more to find out why he was so upset with the teacher and how did he step into | | |
| 9:11am | My long-assed response to the previous post - sorry it’s not quite anime… |  | | | Sorry, but my reply to the previous post got so long that I just have to make it into a post. Take it as a rant if you want, skipping it will probably relieve your boredom - unless you need a really good sleeping aid. (EDIT: I added a link to the prior post in question. –mh)Anno, like many old... | | |

The Red Whirlwind is once more put in jeapordy, but Romeo’s help is not necessarily what Juliet really wants after she finds | | |
| 4:47am | Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 2 | | | | The problem of living up to the opening episode is neatly avoided with this show: the manic action and intriguing backgrounds follow on nicely with some more combat scenes that seem to jump out of the screen. It’s not deep and meaningful stuff by any means but Gurren Lagann is the perfect | | |
| 12:57am | Furry Alert: Happy Happy Clover Gets An Anime | | | | Brace yourselves, furry-haters. A show full of cutesy talking animals is coming soon to a TV set near you. The queerness in question is Tatsuyama Sayuri's feel-good fantasy comedy for kids called Happy Happy Clover. I am not even fucking around when I say that I have never wanted to punch a | | |

| 11:01pm | FiguPreview: Max Factory - 1/10 Sakura Shinguji PVC [Sakura Taisen] | | | | Very nice! Very very nice! Okay, I was referring to the Ryomou Shimei figurine behind Sakura =0I wish I could get hold of it but the price is..Sakura looks good over here. The hair and her costume is nicely done. However the sword seems a bit too bland. Nice touch on her base which blends in nicely.... | | |
| 10:32pm | Lucky☆Star - いろいろな人たち | | | | いろいろな人たち just means the different kinds of people. This episode was quite average with not much references to other stuff. It does show how different Tsukasa and Kagami are from each other. And of course how much an otaku Konata is and | | |
| 7:11pm | Tokyo Majin Gakuen Episode 10 - The Bohisattva Eye | | | | Can anyone explain to me in relatively simple terms what the Bohisattva Eye really is? From a brief read around it seems to be a mental state of being in Buddhism whereby the Buddhist, having cast off not only all worries but also any sense of a difference between life and death, is completely | | |
