| 3:11am | So a butler, a seleção, and a data entity walk into a blog post | | | | And the owner of of the blog says, “What the hell kind of introductory paragraph am I supposed to make from this?” Sadly enough, I haven’t been popular enough to have any rumors of my blogging death to greatly exaggerate (in the Mark Twain fashion) – perhaps this is due to the... | | |

| 4:26am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Valkyria Chronicles | | | | It might appear that I’ve fallen very far behind in doing my spring anime impressions but I haven’t – it’s all going according to the plan. Rereading some of my old impression posts, I realized sometimes how lost I was in figuring out the series based on only one episode. Therefore, I decided,... | | |
| 7:56pm | Eden of the East - 01 |  | | | OP: “Falling Down” by Oasis - Wow. Just wow. I absolutely love the OP. Contemporary rock track paired with modern graphic design influenced animation makes this easy on the ears and eyes. Summary: On her visit to Washington DC, Morimi Saki gets into trouble with local authorities for... | | |

| 7:05pm | Base Ball Bear Must Love Zombies | | | | I’m sure many of you would have first heard of this Base Ball Bear’s music somewhere, be it Gintama, Oofuri or Toshokan Sensou. Well, at least I did, and I liked the theme songs they did for the mentioned shows. However, when I tried digging deeper into the BBB’s other works, I can’t... | | |
| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |
| 4:28am | 2009 Spring Anime Menu: Boys Keep Out Edition | | | | Springtime is finally here (yes we’re late, don’t have to tell us), bringing with it a HEAPLOAD of animes!! ‘For You in Full Blossom’ is but apt to describe this season, with plenty of variety to cater to just about any audience. And since our beloved male chefs didn’t... | | |
| 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... | | |

| 7:30am | Spring 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | Just within the last few days, winter’s frigid fingers have finally loosened their grip around where I live. We had been experiencing high temperatures well below freezing and that’s not conducive to getting in the spring mindset. Yesterday we got into the 50’s and today our high was 65˚F (18˚C);... | | |
| 7:11am | JLPT1 Left Me Devastated | | | | …NOT! I didn’t pass JLPT1, 39 points short, and it’s not just because of my big booboo — Writing/Vocabulary section was BAD - 53/100, Listening was even WORSE - 40/100, Reading/Grammar was ok - 148/200 — BUT that’s not any reason to feel sad or anything. No way can this put my... | | |
