| 8:25am | The Fall Call: Fall 2008 Anime Preview | | | | I know, I know, I’m late– things have gotten very busy with my project. But here it is: your Fall 2008 anime preview! A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
| 8:14pm | Seiyuu Sawashiro Miyuki -- One of a Kind | | | | SAWASHIRO Miyuki 沢城みゆき is a great seiyuu and a strange bird. She spends her time reading, likes classical music, dresses older than her 23 years, and speaks gently, but with great confidence in her own opinions.She started in anime at 14 (born in Tokyo 1985.06.02), and has been working ever... | | |
| 1:17pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 12 | | | | Short Synopsis: Syamalan + Ryunka = Destruction. Highlights: Awesome animation and music and a less annoying Senkawa. What more could you want? Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Now this is more like it! Senkawa acted much less of a teenager in this episode, which made him much more enjoyable to watch.... | | |

| 1:11am | Library War – Series Review | | | | Sometimes I get the feeling that people can pluck thoughts out of mind. This occurs most often when reading XKCD but this time I get the distinct feeling that the people behind Library War probed my mind to see what type of series I would like to watch. It’s like they knew I read Fahrenheit 451 in... | | |
| 4:38pm | A [Random] Belated Congratulations to Toshokan Sensou | | | | a taste of what’s to come This news got past my TS radar, and was brought to my attention by fellow Toshokan Sensou evangelist fan haya5hi of Akiba-Station. Basically, Toshokan Sensou bags the stellar 星雲 (Seiun) award in the recently concluded Japan SF (sci-fi) convention Daicon7, an award... | | |

| 1:19pm | Chocolate Underground Review - 37,5/100 | | | | Oh boy. I got impatient with the slow subs, so I decided to just check out the raws for this series, just to get things over with. Believe me; it really deserves to remain unsubbed. If you were already turned off by the first half, just be happy you didn’t get to see the second half… In any case,... | | |
| 6:39pm | A Minor Masterpiece: Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ Ep. 8 | | | | I've enjoyed this show from the start, but episode 8 was a minor masterpiece. It combined story, acting, character design, animation and backgrounds to create a really memorable anime episode.This show is at a higher aesthetic level than any other current show, with the possible exception of Kara no... | | |
| 5:14pm | Taishou Yakyuu Musume Baseless Anticipation Post | | | | So, after reading that Taishou Yakyuu Musume (which, by the way, I had not heard about prior to this point) is getting an anime adaptation, I became instantly overwhelmed with completely, utterly baseless and unjustified hype for it. Let me break it down for you: Taishou (大正): Historical fiction!... | | |

| 2:42am | Lost my Magic: Why I suddenly went missing from ItaKiss and the shoujo scene | | | | As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a blogging break of late, slowing the routine down to a weekly ritual chock-ful of filler. If I were more pessimistic I would chalk this up to burnout (or to Burnout, which is a fantastic visceral thrill), but really, the fact of the matter is that... | | |
