| 9:52pm | Kaiji: the E-card arc | | | | Yeah, it’s been quiet here due to RL commitments, blah, blah, e/n, tl;dr. Hey, at least I wasn’t the poor bugger whose blog mysteriously died on him. Or the guys who got real Hiatus Disease. I did find the time to watch the next arc of Kaiji though, which made me wonder just why I let my... | | |
| 3:58pm | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 21 | | | | Oh god as it stands now, reviewing Kaiji when it’s finally over is going to be a incredibly difficult. At the moment, I have no idea whether to classify it as just good or excellent. All the commenters on the previous episode made me see this series in a new light, but on the other hand I still... | | |
| 6:17am | A Tale of two heroes – an analysis | | | | There's something about an anti-hero that everyone loves, except when they don't. In fact, the term itself has become so nebulous that it can easily encompass Alucard, Shinji Ikari and Guts. Essentially anyone with questionable morals or who treats people as a means to an end or someone who bucks the... | | |
| 4:26am | 20/20, Perfect Visions: Kaiji | | | | Actually, looking back on the 20th episode of Kaiji about a week later, I’ve found that said ‘perfect vision’ seems to be blurring. But undoubtedly, explaining - or, rather, finding out - why will be just as interesting an experience, so here we go. I think the best way to put it... | | |
| 7:15am | Impressions: Code Geass, VOTOMS, Master Keaton, Kaiji and Dennou Coil | | | | Sorry that I haven't posted for a week, but I had a bad case of real life and not a whole lot to say. Well except for the whole ADV announcement. And all I can say is finally… but still no word on Kurau. And I just shelled out to buy the first three disks. And no word on Welcome to the NHK either.... | | |
| 9:09pm | English Movie Review: Vantage Point | | | | As much as I would like to be a stereotypical fat white geek living in a basement somewhere, I do find the need sometimes to venture outside of my first-story room to get some Vitamin D in my blood, if only because I prefer my complexion to be at least slightly darker than that of a geisha. What... | | |
| 6:10pm | Manga Review: Kokuhaku - Confession |  | | | Story: Friends Asai and Ishikura get lost on a routine mountain climbing trip. Ishikura injures himself and at his supposed moment of death reveals a terrible secret to Asai. However, shortly after they find an abandoned log cabin and both survive. Trapped alone and waiting for help, the secrets of... | | |
| 4:18pm | Weekly Round-Up | | | | It’s a unique opportunity to be able to post this on February 29th, which also happens to be the day when we girls can propose- possibly why they told me not to come to dancing on Fridays anymore.Reviewed this week: Aria 8, Himawari!! 2, Kaiji 20, Persona 6, Shion no Ou 17, Shounen Onmyouji 21-2,... | | |
| 1:37pm | February Summary | | | | I must say that this has been the best winter-season we’ve had in years. usually, they just features one or two great series, but this season juast has a whole bunch of worthwhile watches, albeit you do have to look a bit harder than usual. #28 (28) - Dragonaut The Resonance - (6,6/10) - This... | | |
| 7:50am | Spring Cleaning 2008: A Look at the Upcoming Season (Part 1) | | | | Its that time of year again. This list was taken directly from Moetron. This first half of the list only covers those shows that had confirmed release dates attached to them, the rest will be posted soon. So without further adieu Lets take a look at this Spring’s confirmed line-up: — Title:... | | |
| 1:04am | Kaiji Achieves GARdom | | | | I can’t believe Kaiji did that. He’s shown earlier on that when push comes to shove he can do some incredible stuff, but cutting off your own ear is crazy. Reminds me a lot of the moment in Akagi when Akagi was willing to get his arm cut off just to prove he didn’t cheat. Truly showed... | | |
| 1:39am | 20/20, Perfect Visions: KimiKiss | | | | You know an episode - or perhaps, a show - is good when your soul is so sufficiently rocked that you can’t come up with a sufficiently interesting one-liner for it, outside of a self-referential, fourth-wall-obliterating, H2O-referencing sentence that seems to drag on and on because no one had... | | |
| 4:55am | A few recommendations while I clean house | | | | you can clean MY house anytime, if you know what I - oh, uh, is that a sword in that broom you’ve got there? I think I’ll shut up now. The real post, as always, will probably come tommorow - if lightning strikes I might be able to do a Kaiji / KimiKiss comparison and contrast post, provided... | | |
| 3:59pm | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 20 | | | | Oh my god I’m speechless. I know I have been whining against this series, but that doesn’t matter for this episode. All I know that these were 20 of the most disturbing minutes of anime I’ve seen. Let me warn you: do not watch this episode if you can’t stand gore. I still can’t... | | |
| 12:37am | Winter Season Checkpoint | | | | We’re well past to midpoint of the Winter 07-08 anime season and since it’s Friday and there’s no Clannad to post about, I figured I might as well try out one of these mid-season impression things, a brief on my impressions on some of this season’s offerings and carry overs from... | | |
