| 1:21pm | A Certain Somewhat Ugly Magical Kickboxer | | | | The most interesting kickboxer in Japan would have to be Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima, an avid anime fan and cosplayer who happens to be extremely adept at judo and full contact karate. Famous for dressing in flamboyant anime costumes as he fights, the New Japan Kickboxing Federation-affiliated fighter... | | |
| 6:05am | (Bi)Weekly Anime Review | | | | Frequent readers of The Null Set might have noticed a recent lull in posts. There’s two primary reasons why and I thought I’d mention them before continuing. The first is that I recently started reading the books that the tv series The Dresden Files (an urban fantasy series) is based on and I had... | | |

| 11:02pm | [Quickie] Anime Reviews - Winter ‘09 | | | | Asu no Yoichi! Not much to say about Asu no Yoichi!wasn’t really a fan. It was “ok” for a generic guy-lives-with-a-lot-of-girls- whose-parents-are-conviniently -away-on-a-trip kinda anime. One of it’s appeal was the awesome seiyuu cast, but other than that, it’s love like-it-or-hate-it-at-first-ep... | | |
| 3:01am | Soul Eater OST 2 |  | | | I know the OST has been out for awhile. But I only just had a listen. Wow. It’s like the best tracks were on this one. Well, that’s my opinion. Taku Iwasaki is godly as it is. I was just going to be giddy over the fact that In his mind DB, sways his shoulders and dances was on here but there... | | |
| 2:33pm | A Certain Indonesian Index |  | | | A certain Indonesian politician seems to have a resemblance to A Certain Magical Popular Character. It seems Indonesian politicians are producing more and more eye catching posters, although in this case we might wonder as to whether the resemblance is merely accidental. At least he is not actively... | | |
| 10:56am | Quick Thoughts on Index | | | | Out of many of the newer anime from the last few seasons, I think To Aru Majutsu no Index is one of the best. I’ve always had a soft spot when it comes to magic and science mixed together. That alone made Index worth checking out for many. Although the pacing of the story could use some work,... | | |

| 1:24am | 2D vs 3D: Mass Horror Moefication |  | | | This classic image attempts on a larger scale what we have seen before to disturbing effect a number of times: the 2D beautification of subject matter most unsightly. Of course, it isn’t always so. Just imagine all your favourite manga and anime rendered into 3D without the benefit of an improbably... | | |
| 5:23am | To Aru Majutsu no Index S1 ends |  | | | Yes. S1. Come on, with that kind of ending, a sequel is already confirmed. It’s like Shana all over again! I still think J.C. Staff needs to improve on their pacing and exposition. From what I’ve heard, the original novels are chockful of interesting concepts and theories, but sadly enough,... | | |

| 12:58am | Mahou Shoujo Magical Index |  | | | Index finally gets her mahou shoujo incarnation, which must come as a relief considering how sidelined she becomes in her own series (particularly in the light novels). Even here she seems to be playing second fiddle to Hyouka however More of Index and company on the Channel. Related posts:A Certain... | | |
| 11:37pm | Weekly Anime Review (Mar 9 – Mar 15) | | | | This week’s review is getting done much later then I wanted and there’s a few reasons for that but the primary reason is that the ending to Clannad gave my brain a bunch of things to chew on and I couldn’t get in the right mood to write this column. The ending adds greatly onto a post I’ve been... | | |
