| 8:23pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - 06 | | | | Well, this episode unfortunately wasn’t as impressive as the previous ones. It still was amazing for any regular series, but this is Tokyo Magnitude we’re talking about, which had been consistently awesome up to this point and it’s a shame that this episode broke its flow a bit.... | | |
| 12:00am | The Best Anime Season Since Spring 2006 | | | | Spring 2006 was the best anime season I can remember, with three anime masterpieces starting their runs: NANA, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, and my all-time favorite, Simoun.Now we have another season to rival it. At least through a half-dozen episodes, there are three summer 2009 shows that I could end... | | |
| 4:26pm | Summer 2009 Mid-Season Report Card | | | | We’re about halfway through the Summer 2009 season, so it’s time to see where all the series that I’m watching currently stand. Number of episodes watched are in parenthesis:1st Tier 1. Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom (19) Phantom has shot up to the top of my list as one of the... | | |
| 2:00am | Sora no Manimani 4 - Starcross’d |  | | | Is this the hinge episode, where all anime comedies start transitioning to becoming More Serious? Sora no Manimani is this season’s sleeper show. Aside from a burst of initial fangirling, there hasn’t been much written about it on the blogosphere; for the most part, it’s because the... | | |
| 6:47am | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Episode 5 - The Familiar and the Unfamiliar | | | | This astonishing episode, the most genuine and heartbreaking display of emotion I’ve seen in TV anime in a long time, cements Tokyo Magnitude 8.0’s place as the best show this season for me. The theme that runs underneath this episode is a simple, and difficult truth: the familiar places... | | |
| 5:50am | Vacation Update – I’m Still On Vacation and Loving the Pretty Sunsets | | | | I’ve been looking forward to this vacation since we planned it last September and I have to say that it’s living up to the hype I’ve been placing on it. The picture above was the sunset yesterday. Among the things I did yesterday was hang out on the beach for 3 hours, watched a... | | |
| 12:00am | Is it Okay to Like Mirai Now? (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 05) | | | | They’re close to home. The surroundings are familiar. The shelter they’re headed to is none other than Mirai’s middle school, The Rikka School for Girls. The buildings are low, and the area doesn’t seem as ruined as those they passed by. Nonetheless an 8.0 magnitude quake doesn’t... | | |
| 9:42pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Episode 5 | | | | The last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ended with the collapse of Tokyo Tower - A landmark arguably on a scale with New York's World Trade Centre in terms of the impact its destruction has on the populace of the country and, perhaps, the world. Naturally, this event is afforded at least a little time... | | |
| 5:03am | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 – 05 |  | | | The group gets some well needed rest, but faces the reality of the earthquake’s impact. First thing first, Mirai is completely normal in this episode. The bitchy attitude is nowhere to be found. It’s a miracle I tell you, even with all the crying she does at the end, it is more than acceptable.... | | |
| 9:10pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - 05 | | | | This series is seriously tearing me up as I watch it. I remember wondering at the end of Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 whether or not the rest of 2009 would premiere a series that would match its brilliance. I’ve finally managed to find a contender. It’s amazing considering how much this series... | | |

| 4:53am | Kabitzin’s July 2009 List |  | | | They tell me I have a lovely Barry tone I’ve cleared up a big chunk of my backlog, and it’s been glorious. I still have to watch the second season of Spice and Wolf, as well as Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, but I have heard good things about both series. Has Umi Monogatari gotten any better? ... | | |
| 7:20am | First Look Fair: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (1-4) | | | | What would the Big One, Tokyo style, be like if it was animated? How would it affect the lives of an ordinary girl and boy? Bones did their research and tried to show what might happen, with nuanced, realistic results. It’s the most promising show of the season. Many of you might not know that... | | |
| 4:51am | Anyone Who Doesn’t Appreciate Tokyo Tower | | | | has never really bothered trying to appreciate it. (Click for larger version) This post is in response to usagijen’s article / mini-rant about Tokyo Tower and aesthetics in general, which was itself inspired by a comment on ghostlightning’s latest Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 post where someone referred... | | |
| 3:31pm | Tokyo Tower is Not Overrated, You Are | | | | I remember the time when the term ‘overrated’ first got to my nerves, and it was back when the Skip Beat anime was airing.
