| 8:31pm | Cherry picking in autumn | | | | Hello, my name is bateszi. I’m a generic anime blogger and this is my generic autumn preview. Please enjoy these poorly researched comments on anime that I know nothing about, talking about new series with the same pictures, synopsis and links that you can see in dozens of other autumn previews... | | |
| 6:36pm | 2008 Autumn Season Preview and Tye-Dye Festival | | | | When everything turns red and dies or something like that. Well, as usual, unless a show looks so bad as to give me some form of horrible wasting illness, I’m probably going to check it out and then be able to formulate an opinion that isn’t based on a 50 word blurb and some pretty art... | | |
| 4:03am | In the words of Mark Twain… | | | | Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Greatly, greatly exaggerated. This is the whiny post, but it’s also the “this is why I have been very silent for the past few weeks” post. And it’s only whiny for a bit! Due to a rather silly confluence of: a) 3 mandatory 12-hour... | | |
| 4:19pm | The Latest YouTube Trend: Nani Kei Demo Nai | | | | The latest in the ever-growing world of fan-made anime-related videos– in fact, the latest in the newer sub-set of fan-animated AMVs –features the above commercial for a clothing brand, Russ-K, featuring the Jpop boy-band NewS. A slew of anime/manga-fied versions has appeared. I think some... | | |
| 10:24pm | 46 New Fall Anime -- full previews (story, trailer, staff, cast, etc.) | | | | With just over two weeks to go until the new season starts, it's time to think about what's coming. Tastes differ, but the shows I myself am most looking forward to are:the mysterious moe romances ef - a tale of melodies and Clannad - After Story the absurd comedy Hyakko (with Orikasa Fumiko and Hirano... | | |
| 11:49am | Legendary Gambler Tetsuya Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Well, time for me to pimp another very unknown series. This one comes completely subbed, courtesy of a one-man fansub group (who did a very admirable job, by the way), and it tells about Tetsuya, a legendary gambler and Mah-jong player. For the past few years, Akagi has turned into the symbol of Mah-Jong... | | |
| 3:44am | Antique Bakery: The Things I Do (And Enjoy) For Cake | | | | When they finally did a shot that consisted entirely of girls, I knew, deep in my misandrist heart, that it was time to make an Antique Bakery post.So I picked up Antique Bakery when it started airing, because I’d promised myself that I’d watch it, out of both a sense of duty and fairness... | | |
| 6:11am | Farewell Song - Predeparture notice | | | | Just six days to go before I leave for Japan. I just wanted to say thank you for whoever usually comes here or just happens to randomly stop by for whatever reason. I’ve had some great support in just the small while this blog has been around. I know this place hasn’t been too anime like... | | |

| 2:42am | Lost my Magic: Why I suddenly went missing from ItaKiss and the shoujo scene | | | | As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a blogging break of late, slowing the routine down to a weekly ritual chock-ful of filler. If I were more pessimistic I would chalk this up to burnout (or to Burnout, which is a fantastic visceral thrill), but really, the fact of the matter is that... | | |
| 5:02am | Otakon08 Quickie: Kaiji and Ninja Scroll Sequels On The Way | | | | So, I didn’t get to hit up the Madhouse/Maruyama Q&A session because it was at the same time as Media Blasters, but fortunately Japanator’s Brad Rice did, because apparently sequels to both Kaiji and Ninja Scroll. Mmmmdelicious episodes whose only actual action are the flipping of... | | |
| 1:50am | Kaiji - Epic manly crying animu | | | | I started watching Kaiji lately for whatever reason. Someone on /a/ gave me a long list of good anime. It must be good anime because I’ve seen a lot of what was on it already but I still have a lot to see that is on it. Anyway, I pretty much picked Kaiji at random. It’s totally not the... | | |
| 12:18pm | Ultraviolet: Code 044 - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: An intermezzo, without much action, but much character-development and introductions. Highlights: The new characters should prove interesting for the rest of this series. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Okay, so even though this was a quiet episode, it still delivered, as it made perfect... | | |
| 5:17pm | Filed Under Pairings, Odd | | | | So, according to Muhyojo, CLAMP is doing a project in Monthly Kindai Maajan Original, which appears to be a mangabon devoted entirely to mah jong manga. As far as I can tell– and I’m not 100% confident in this, but I’m pretty sure this is how it’s happening –CLAMP is doing... | | |
