| 6:27pm | THAT spring review - Kyouran Kazoku Nikki and Nijuu Menzou Musume |  | | | All right, as time is of the essence here, I have done up just a quick summary of the two series. They are very short due to the fact that my interest in the two shows are not that great after viewing them. Nijuu Menzou Musume is of a girl named Chico and the first episode introduces the main female... | | |
| 4:15pm | Toshokan Sensou (Library War) Episode 1 - My Prince Is In The Library Force | | | | OP - Watashi no Machi, Ashita no Machi (Hitomi Takahashi) - pleasantly acoustic song, fuzzy show footage visuals. ’salright, I guess. ED - changes (Base Ball Bear) - what do you reckon a Base Ball Bear does? Is it some kind of mascot? Anyway, another pleasantly acoustic song, this time with... | | |
| 6:59am | A Farewell to Episodic Blogging: Off to Discover My Naritai Jibun | | | | With the outpour of the new Spring animes, I’ve been thinking a lot about what blogging style I should really adopt and stick to. I had already gone weary of making summary posts, not because of the elitist view that editorials and other writing styles are superior to episode summaries, but rather... | | |
| 6:00am | Nothing Really Special Here |  | | | Written by TheBigN I turn 22 today. Have some cake with Miyako.In terms of this season, I’ve been looking forward to Library Wars (because knowledge is power), Macross Frontier (because it turns on a dime), Allison to Lilia (because of Kino’s author), Kaiba (because it looks and sounds... | | |
| 12:06pm | Macross Frontier - 02 | | | | Ah, why not? I’m going to blog this series. Thanks to L.A. for pointing out that I missed this series. This series is basically THE powerhouse in animation-budget for this season, plus Yoko Kanno’s work is very impressive as well. The second episode was also much better than the rather... | | |
| 11:03am | All Hail The Power of Library War! Cynics Move Aside, Please | | | | So Library War makes its premiere, and needless to say, I loved it!! *____* As expected from Production I.G. (who Seleria and I fondly call PIG), the animation is superb, almost movie-like, I’d say. I loved the thick outline style they used on the characters, as some bloggers have also... | | |
| 11:56am | Library Wars Episode 1 - “Clearly the BEST 1st episode this season” |  | | | I wish Rieu took an image of Komaki instead. I like him better. Iku is all right, I guess. This is the third series in the spring 08 season that I am very keen about. Library War plays on a rather unique storyline: the understanding of information and the use of information as a social control. In my... | | |
| 9:07am | Some quick first impressions: Toshokan Sensou, Junjo Romantica and Kaiba | | | | Toshokan Sensou With Noitamina, I just knew that this series would be worthwhile. Toshokan Sensou has proven to have the best soundtrack this season, and with Production IG, the art looks terrific. This series also smartly spent its first episode fleshing out its main characters, instead of focusing... | | |
| 8:56am | First Crop of Spring 2008 Anime |  | | | I’ve watched eleven shows that have started airing while still waiting for fansub groups to sub a few titles (namely Nabari no Ou, Wagaya no Oinari-sama, Crystal Blaze, RD Sennou Chousashitsu, Kaiba, Toshokan Sensou, and Kamen no Maid Guy) and for a few more to air. I’ve actually enjoyed... | | |
| 8:56am | First Crop of Spring 2008 Anime Premieres |  | | | I’ve watched eleven shows that have started airing while still waiting for fansub groups to sub a few titles (namely Nabari no Ou, Wagaya no Oinari-sama, Crystal Blaze, RD Sennou Chousashitsu, Kaiba, Toshokan Sensou, and Kamen no Maid Guy) and for a few more to air.

| 2:19am | Junjou RoMANtica 01 - Surprise Buttsecks! |  | | | In the DVD version, this scene will be brightly lit. Well what did you expect? It’s a yaoi/BL anime based on a yaoi BL manga. It reminds me of Gravitation a lot because at first the protagonist is like “I DON’T LOVE MEN” then he suddenly realizes he wants some in his butt and... | | |
| 11:34pm | xxxHOLiC Kei ep.02 | | | | I'm a bit confused now. I had expected the 2nd episode to look worse than the 1st episode but that wasn't the case. This one actually looks a lot better than the first one. Maybe it's because the scenes take place mostly indoors and in areas that were not previously used. That means PIG has to... | | |
| 9:10pm | xxxHOLiC Kei #02 — Om Nom Nom Nom Delicious Words | | | | The Book Worm is the enemy of the Library War world. Impressions: Was Himawari always that busty? I remember her being a lot more lanky like the rest of the male cast. She seems a lot more filled out these days. Not just in the chest either, but her whole body. She doesn’t look anywhere near... | | |
| 7:28pm | Library War #01 — We MUST Defend This Card Catalog! | | | | I don’t even think I could find a card catalog anymore. Impressions: I really like the style they used here for the character art. All characters (and moving parts in general) have a thicker black outline than normal which really makes them stand out against the background. On the other hand,... | | |
