| 7:12pm | 10 Days of Ronery - Ayase Yue from Negima! | | | | 5. Ayase Yue Ok, if you didn’t see this coming you either didn’t care or just really stupid. I like how Yue is kind of shy but she’s more in denial than anything else with her feeling towards Negi. Also, just a few volumes ago there was the plot where she didn’t want to admit... | | |
| 7:29am | Why I find Yukari Tamura cuter than other idols | | | | I guess one of the perks of being sociable and meeting new people is you have material to draw on for your own personal writing. A few times an acquiescence of mine from a few classes at college asks me wondering why I like that girl [referring to Yukarin] and not someone like Ayumi [Hamasaki]. This... | | |
| 4:28pm | 10 Days of Ronery - Minazuki Kotoko from Tokimeki Memorial 2 | | | | 7. Minazuki Kotoko At the time of playing Tokimeki Memorial 2 I really wasn’t drawn to Kotoko at first. I actually wasn’t really drawn to any particular girl as I had been with Tokimeki Memorial 1. The first girls I got an ending to actually were Homura, Sakura, and then a few others.... | | |
| 5:51pm | Kiss Kiss MARBLE PHANTASM Yo | | | | Arcueid has her Marble Phantasm, but Steve Jobs has some tricks too. When I was watching Tokimeki Memorial: Only Love last year, I thought it was an amusing romantic comedy from a guy’s angle. This Tokimemo anime is a classic Konami franchise adopted to be about dating and romantic stuff. What... | | |
| 6:11pm | Persona 3 (PS2): This Time It’s Personal! |  | | | With the new Persona anime looking up this season, I thought it would be a good time to give props to Persona 3, the game that loosely provides the setting for the show. I’m actually glad that the anime has very little relevance to the game, since VG adaptations tend to chafe at the constraints... | | |

| 12:27am | Twelve Moments in Anime - #8: Tokimeki Memorial 25 | | | | The "12 Days of Christmas" series is a joint feature by some members of the Anime Blogging Collective recognizing twelve moments, twelve series, or just twelve things about anime that we've enjoyed over the past year, that really make us enjoy loving what we do, and that is being an anime fan.

| 10:26pm | January 2008 Anime Previews -- cast, staff, pic, links | | | | The new season is coming up fast. The first new show, Ayakashi, has already begun, and the season gets fully under way exactly two weeks from today. As with most winter seasons, there are not a huge number of new shows. The Spring and Fall 2007 seasons had almost 40 new shows each. This winter season... | | |
| 8:29pm | Lawson on Tokimeki |  | | | Jeff says, “a breath of fresh air“, and: I don’t watch as many bishoujo game adaptations nowadays as I did in the past. Somewhere along the line, I grew tired of the extraneous stories and cookie cutter characters so typical of the genre. Occasionally, however, an adaptation will come... | | |
| 4:15pm | Year in Review: Tokimeki Memorial Only Love | | | | 9. Tokimeki Memorial Only Love The Tokimeki Memorial franchise has a storied history. The original game and its sequels are often considered the quintessential dating sim. The franchise is also unique for its lack of adult content; porn sells bishoujo games, obviously, but Tokimeki Memorial has always... | | |
| 10:07pm | Thanksfest 2007 | | | | A day early but tommorow's off-schedule so the Thanksgiving post is today; it's a bit of a break from the normal Shiori fanboying metaposts in order to give profuse thanks and a bit of recognition to everyone who makes being an anime fan possible.And that's a lot of people.I suppose I should start with... | | |
| 2:50am | KimiKiss: Pure Fail - 07 |  | | | This show is starting to remind me of my days blogging Tokimeki Memorial but let’s move on to this week’s episode: Yes! At least we didn’t have frogs this week and the episode was fairly enjoyable when Kazuki grew some balls and invited Miss Elitist Bitch to eat some ramen. | | |
| 8:31am | Da Capo II 05 - FEEL is no Zecxs | | | | Many moons ago, after an excellent first impression of Tokimeki Memorial, I expressed my disappointment with the series right about mid-season. My beef with it was the lack of drama, gripping haremic dilemmas or confrontations. In retrospect, I was wrong. TokiMemo writers didn’t fail simply because... | | |
| 12:46pm | Genshiken 2 | | | | Genshiken is a manga series about an anime/manga/game club in a Japanese university. The title is short for gendai shikaku bunka kenkyuukai, or “The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture”. Basically it’s an excuse for a bunch of otaku and fujoshi to have a room to hang out... | | |
