| 11:37pm | Final Thoughts on Kaiji |  | | | The ending to Kaiji is getting a lot of flack from people, which is understandable. It’s only slightly more conclusive than Akagi’s ending, which is really saying something. However, when looking at the manga for Kaiji this is to be expected. There’s a lot more of Kaiji’s story... | | |
| 10:42am | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 26 | | | | And it’s finally over. I’ve decided not to write a review about this series, though. I’ve watched this series the wrong way, and it turned out to be a big disappointment, save for four or five episodes. I feel that I’m way too biased to give an objective view about this series.... | | |
| 7:49am | Kaiji 26 - And the loser is.. | | | | With the closing curtains of this gambling ordeal, the real loser in Kaiji is not its pitiful protagonist, but the audience. Although the ending is leaps and bounds above its counterpart Akagi (the climax of which was basically a declaration of inept pacing), it is wholly unsatisfying. Now, I’m... | | |
| 9:01am | Himitsu ~The Revelation~ - 02 | | | | I’m amazed. I’ve now seen most of the second episodes of the major series that aired this season, apart from Kaiba, Toshokan Sensou, Nijuu Mensou no Musume and Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, and without a doubt Himitsu has been the best series of the season so far, and Kaiba is going to have to... | | |

| 9:46am | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 25 | | | | Yup, like expected: the entire success of this arc will depend on whether the final episode will deliver or not. Unfortunately, I’ve also been spoiled about it, so it’ll all depend on the execution. What I’m most curious about is the chairman himself. We know Kaiji by now and his... | | |
| 9:37am | Kaiji 25 - This box. This box. This box. This box. | | | | Honestly, this was one of, if not THE most boring episode of any anime i’ve seen in a verrrry long time. It was literally 24 minutes of the chairman laughing and molesting the tissue box. Shitsux, ever since the end of the E-KAAADDOOOO arc this show got pretty lame. Basically it was all awesome,... | | |
| 10:14pm | [Rapidfire] KyoAni dream remakes, Bamboo Blade, Fanime | | | | A new feature that will undoubtedly die past its second post or so, Rapidfire is basically an evolution of the Track Two theory in being a bunch of short posts that wouldn’t make it on their own, collected into one post. All we need now is those crazy Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei segment titles.... | | |
| 4:58am | Haruhi Season 2 possibly dated, other news | | | | Been doing some news compilation over the last few days, nothing really worthy enough to deserve its own post but something I found out recently made it all worth itapparently we might be seeing more Haruhi sooner than we think! Full story after the jump, along with some other noteworthy stories. Haruhi... | | |
| 3:18pm | March Summary | | | | And with this, the season is nearly over. There are still a few series left to finish, but they should close off in a few days from now. Overall, I must say that it’s been an interesting half year, and nothing like the spring-season that preceded it. It feels like there were less ground-breaking... | | |
| 8:49pm | Anime Diet Radio Episode 19 - Back In The Saddle |  | | | Wowhas it been this long? This is Anime Diet Radio #19, take 3–there were two previous attempts to record this but they either had tech issues or were too long ago to be relevant anymore. (Take #2 will be released shortly thereafter as a “LOST EPISODE!”) But the whole gang’s... | | |

| 10:04am | More Watsuki Praise and a Criticism of the Fanbases | | | | Japan? We need to talk. Have a seat. It has come to my attention that you have shown a lack of appreciation for some of the finer members of your community. Among these is one Nobuhiro Watsuki. I’ve looked into the case of Busou Renkin, and my associate Dio Bravo has written up an excellent analysis... | | |
| 12:36pm | kimikiss pure truth: All you need is love (and parallels) |  | | | So my predictions in my previous post were wrong. I’m glad they were, for had I been right, it would’ve meant that kimikiss would have been unpredictably predictable, and we all know how well that would have went down. The masses need their closure, even if the more discerning among us can... | | |
