| 4:59am | Toradora - 23 + 24 - Crème de la crème | | | | Shakugan no Shana Reference!Once Ryuuji started to vocifierate at Ya-chan, I really felt contriteful. I mean, she wanted her son to do something that she wasn't able to do but instead he turned it over on her. It was sad and in all truth, I can relate to it. Not completely, but I can relate | | |
| 2:42am | Choux on Toradora 24 |  | | | Heavy spoilers to follow, I’m not even kidding. Toradora 24 makes a sudden turn as if specifically to address my previous objections. From petty and irrelevant things became significant and meaningful, when goings-on came to a head. I may write about it more when the series ends. Now I wish only... | | |
| 1:00pm | The Slippery Slope of a Super Speedy Shopping Trip to Akihabara | | | | So last month I had the once in a lifetime (though hopefully not) opportunity to go to Tokyo, and luckily enough, despite the super-short 4-day business trip, still had time to roam around the city, especially on the first and last day of our trip. If you’ve read my blog post more than a month ago... | | |
| 6:25am | Top Picks – Winter 2009 Anime, Part 1: Cast and Character Awards | | | | If I was giving an award for best hair cut, the guy on the left would win.The winter season, as conventional wisdom goes, is one of the weaker seasons for new anime. Oftentimes this generalization has some truth to it but this time a combination of sequels to good shows and a handful of new hits made... | | |
| 5:28am | Exit Trance Anime Trance 6 |  | | | I’m hoping my ears will explode. From awesome, of course. (From now we’ll go by Exit Trance anime Trance ___ for the title. Previously it was Code Speed. Technically correct I think.) motto☆Hade ni ne! (Kannagi) If I didn’t know CAMRY was the vocalist, I wouldn’t have guessed.... | | |
| 4:19am | Zyl on Toradora 19 |  | | | Regarding Minori’s serendipitous arrival (heavy spoilers), I thought it was a coincidence too. I am not diligent with notes anymore, but a piece of paper in my recycling box contains: “19 0:18″ (obviously incorrect offset), “Oh shit, it’s Minorin taking her sweet time getting... | | |
| 3:44am | Haruhi Kinetic Typography | | | | More of the Kinetic Typo motion Grpahics from the same user RiOSr3c who did the previous Toradora PreParade.

| 10:50pm | Toradora twenty-four | | | | Ever since the very beginning, I’ve been wondering about why Minorin has so many part time jobs. I kept thinking that it would be something long and complicated, but saving up for her dream is really very simple, isn’t it?Now that Ryuugi has proposed, the love triangle is finally resolved.... | | |
| 9:32pm | Toradora is gold | | | | When I first started watching Toradora I thought all it was was just another moe flick like Hayate no Gotoku with no real story or another novel adaptation that was just made to sell merchandise licenses with like Zero no Tsukaima or a failure of an anime with a rushed ending like Shana (and ZnT).... | | |
| 6:18pm | Toradora! - Episode 24 | | | | After that intense ending to the last episode, this week's Toradora! was pretty much going to have to hit the ground running, and that's exactly what it did, with Minori and Ryuuji both chasing after Taiga, Minori confessing her own feeling towards Ryuuji in the process. They don't manage to catch Taiga... | | |
| 4:27pm | Toradora PreParade KineticTypography | | | | Found this of Random’s Blog featuring the Toradora OP song “Pre-parade” remixed into a motion graphics video made using After Effects to the Kinetic Typography technique. Very cool. View the niconico video herePosted in Toradora Tagged: after effects, motion graphics, Toradora ... | | |
| 9:24am | Toradora - 24: a good anime | | | | This was the episode that confirmed Toradora’s inclusion within the list of good anime. That’s both a good and a bad thing, because, at least for me, it could no longer be great; however, it still remains a good series. Episodes of confession are, undoubtedly, among the most climactic and... | | |
| 6:33am | Toradora! 24 |  | | | Finally, the two admit their feelings for each other. GJ, Ryuji! But their trials aren’t over yet, as parental problem comes up. Yasuko discovers that Ryuji is working part-time, despite her ban on it, and Ryuji explodes when she insists that he should be studying seriously. On Taiga’s... | | |
| 4:59am | Minori sees like Yuuko Ishihara | | | | Thus spake Yuuko Ishihara: この世に偶然は無い、 あるのは必然だけよ。 Thus spake Lupus: Dear Seleria, Because I’m such a BADASS LIGHT NOVEL READER, I must reveal the true reason why Taiga was “out on the street just in time for Minorin to see.” It wasn’t entirely co-incidence.... | | |
| 2:21am | Toradora OP in Kinetic Typography |  | | | Here's a cool video Patrik just showed me: Pre-Parade as done in Kinetic Typography. Some of you may remember that this guy did a video in the same style about two months ago for Suzumiya Haruhi's introduction monologue, and this is even more impressive than that. Kinetic Typography, and YouTube... | | |
