| 1:21pm | T-That’s Impossible: A Retrospect on Saimoe 2008, Round 3 | | | | Analysis\ up when I get the chance, but since I’ll be away from the computer for a bit, I’ve got to push this post out the door: G3-2 Results: Show ▼ Tsukasa (Lucky Star) defeats Nagi (Hayate) 1080-889 H3-1 Results: Show ▼ Noe (true tears) defeats Suzu (Nagasarete Airantou) 972-555... | | |
| 12:31am | Yami Riding – To Love-Ru |  | | | The latest riding machine video to grace our screens features none other than a sukumizu clad Yami (金色の闇 / Konjiki no Yami / Golden Darkness), of tentacle anime To Love-ru, engaged in a spot of healthy gym storage room riding. The video happens to be by the same ero-master who brought us Haruna... | | |
| 12:58am | 2008 Anime DVD Sales Ranking | | | | Here we have the rather interesting DVD sales ranking for 2008 anime, in this case focused on the first volume as a proxy for total popularity. There are a number of interesting results within the list, but the top and bottom are likely not surprising. These numbers are the number of DVDs sold over... | | |
| 2:57pm | To-Love-Ru - Final Impressions |  | | | This series was pretty much how I thought it would be. It for the most part was just a typical ecchi school/romance/comedy. Seeing as it had such a large degree of slapstick humor and ecchiness, the seriousness of the romance never sit in, but it’s exactly as I expected. The series wasn’t anything... | | |
| 12:01pm | Megami Magazine Memorial Book (2006-8) | | | | 2006 (glaring typo!) would be the Year of the Tanuki with the airing of AIR TV and movie (pun unintended, it’s the Kabitzin Geass, I swear!), Nanoha A’s, Zero no Tsukaima, Canvas2 and SHUFFLE! Though ToHeart2 and D.C.S.S. were, particularly the latter, sources of disappointment and unsatisfaction... | | |
| 6:36am | Summer '08 Season Review | | | | In general the shows that were completed during the summer season were very weak. With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices. Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:... | | |
| 2:26pm | Bamboo Beatdown Brewing? Saimoe ‘08 [3AB-1] results and [3AB-2] preview | | | | And no one stopped to tell me that I got the match preview backwards, flipping B3-2 with A3-2? In any case, a great fight yesterday; I often found myself checking the interim standings for how close the Haruka vs. Fuuko results were, and if you look at the graph of the votes you find that over the... | | |
| 9:24pm | Tomatsu Haruka -- Birth of a Star | | | | I haven't been a fan of Tomatsu Haruka's 戸松遥 ,voice until now. But in the first episode of the new show Kannagi, she was absolutely outstanding. Her voice dipped and soared, turned and shifted, going sure-footedly from offended goddess to stranded innocent to loopy comedienne to regal mother-figure... | | |
| 10:49am | Cool Items: Wednesday, October 8, 2008 | | | | Here are today's "really cool products" that I've picked out for you, out of the 30+ new items we've added to the J-List and JBOX.com sites today.

| 2:02pm | Wow, Saitou Chiwa Actually has a Low Voice. | | | | Watch Kemeko, the new comedy which has almost the exact same formula as ToLoveRu but with 100 times less the sleaze and proper action scenes. Saitou Chiwa voices the lead female Kemeko and you 100 percent can’t tell it is her, if you’re used to the likes of Becky and Nekomimi Mode Hazuki.... | | |
| 6:23am | First Impressions: Clannad ~After Story~ & … | | | | But no, Dango Daikazoku isn’t the ED anymore. ;_; The new season’s here, but like any season where things don’t look too familiar, it can be hard (at least to me) to stop nitpicking at things and choose something that you can find worth watching. That usually works out with people,... | | |
| 9:40am | To Love-Ru Nipple Overload | | | | The addition of nipples to the censored serialised edition of To Love-Ru has become something of an expected fixture of the manga, but the latest edition, volume 11, takes things further than any previous volume, with no less than ten characters given the anatomical upgrades they deserve; amusingly,... | | |
| 12:43pm | Kannagi - Crazy Shrine Maidens 1: Sacred Miko |  | | | Ooookay. So I watched the first episode. Not surprising, but hey, it’s good. It’s not like this genre comes once in a while anyway. And it’s got a plot like that of A!MG! too. Goddess meets boy, goddess lives with boy, then more goddesses come in, while a human contender also enters... | | |
| 8:25am | The Fall Call: Fall 2008 Anime Preview | | | | I know, I know, I’m late– things have gotten very busy with my project. But here it is: your Fall 2008 anime preview! A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
