| 3:04pm | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 19 | | | | Call me gullible, but I’m not really pleased to find out that my praises for the E-Card arc of a few episodes ago, where I finally hoped to see some complex mind-games between two masterminds, turned out to be one big mistake. How I hoped to see both Tonegawa and Kaiji outsmart each other with... | | |
| 5:30am | Kaiji 19 - Hold Onto Your Ears! | | | | With the height of frankness, I must describe Kaiji episode 19 as being outright awesome. Almost unfairly awesome, because no matter how much other anime this season seem to try, with profound and/or complex stories and flashy artwork, you only have to stumble upon Kaiji on a good day for a... | | |
| 2:15am | Saigar Update: Group A Round 3 |  | | | HOSAKAAAAAA!!!!Hosaka of Minami-ke (589) beats Itou Kaiji of Kaiji (562). Either a massive surge from behind for Hosaka here or, as some people claim, mass proxy voting against Kaiji. Choose your poison. I still say Kaiji cries too much for Saigar, no matter how morally GAR he is. Tomorrow it’s... | | |
| 11:20pm | SaiGAR 2008 - Group A, Round 3 |  | | | Battle 65Hosaka (Minami-ke) - 589 (51.2% of 1151 votes)Itou Kaiji (Kaiji) - 562Another come-from-behind victory with Hosaka taking Group A! Looks like the serious is back in SaiGAR; is it because it’s round 3? Or maybe the revotes from a few days ago got people back into it — that it’s... | | |
| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |
| 1:04am | Saigar Update: Group H Round 2 | | | | Claire Stanfield of Baccanno (277) beats Karaki Zenpachi of Bleach (182) and Roronoa Zoro of One Piece (177). I’m a little surprise that Zenpachi lost here - he did pretty well last year if I recall right - but Baccanno is a popular show this year; I’ve just never seen it. Ryuuguu Rena of... | | |
| 6:50pm | Weekly Round-Up: February 15th | | | | Reviewed this week: Aria the Origination 6, Clannad 17, Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino 5, Kaiji 17-18, Koutetsu Sangokushi 23-5, Minami-ke Okawari 6, Mnemosyne 1, Mokke 15, SaiMono II 35, Shigofumi 5, Shion no Ou 15, Sketchbook 12, Spice and Wolf 6…and in manga: Loveless 9.3-5, Moyashimon 1, Shion no... | | |
| 8:50pm | 8-bit impressions | | | | Instead of spending hours writing about just one series, this week I’ve dragged myself in the opposite direction and reflected on four of my current favourites. There’s no real reason for the Tekkon Kinkreet image above, except to say that it’s one of the finest examples of fan-art... | | |
| 4:44am | In a world without omnipresent narrators… | | | | Where blogposts run wild in the internet, one man stands between a computer screenand the wall behind him. And actually, he’s sitting. Coming soon - actually, right now - to a screen near you The Editorial. (This post is not yet commented) Unfortunately that’s about as funny as the post... | | |
| 1:58pm | Kaiji 18 - The Fall And Rise of Itou Kaiji | | | | With this latest episode of Kaiji, we are treated to the gripping and grimacing continuation of the sordid E-card game, whereby Kaiji has placed his ear on the line for the chance to grab not only the money he deserves but also for the chance to humiliate the wicked people behind these gambling... | | |
| 9:48am | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 18 | | | | SO, this was clearly a building-up episode. It’s a bit disappointing, as I was hoping that Kaiji would turn the tables already with the seventh round, but instead the creators decided to use these rounds to bring Kaiji more and more in despair. Kaiji has now lost six times in a row, and due... | | |
| 9:22pm | Shigofumi ~ Stories of the Last Letter - 06 | | | | This week, Shigofumi is about a rather extreme case of bullying. The bullies are ruthless in every single way, but this episode is told from a rather interesting viewpoint: from a guy who happens to be in the same class as the bullies, but in the beginning has nothing to do with them. He never takes... | | |
