| 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... | | |
| 9:00pm | Final Thoughts: Toshokan Sensou | | | | In the not-too-distant future, excessive censorship is no longer the domain of Mary Whitehouse and her ilk- instead, every piece of media is subject to it!

| 7:18am | RD Senno Chosashitsu 06 |  | | | Summary: Minamo has no cyberbrain so she still has to do book reports and read paper books. The first book, Silver Sword, is too shounen for her, but then her grandma recommends Love Letter. However, when Minamo checks the book out, she finds an envelope inside. Turns out that Love Letter is so... | | |
| 6:23pm | Toshokan Sensou - 02 | | | | Chocolates = Pimples So Kasahara was placed into the Special Library Task Force and was now supposed to hike in the woods or something.

| 4:16am | The REAL Skip Beat Seiyuu Cast (Yes, ANN, You Got it Oh So Wrong) | | | | Disclaimer: Forgive my hot-headedness, but I think it’s fair to say that despite my claims of this being an official news, it won’t be considered to be so until I get a scan of the news snippet from Hana to Yume. Good news people (at least to those who found this new cast to be good), this... | | |
| 2:38pm | Toshokan Sensou end: B-list anime done well | | | | This is one occasion where I make a distinction between ‘A-list’ and ‘B-list’ titles - in practice, it’s a difference between checking torrents lists and online DVD stores for the latest bunch of episodes daily or catching up when I have a day or two going spare. If I hadn’t watched... | | |
| 4:59am | Toshokan Sensou: Strength Admist Hardship: A Clash of Ideals? | | | | I have got to have a badge like that. It’s just sobadass.

The conclusion was suitably packed with all the things I had... | | |

I arrived at the place at roughly 8.30a.m and ended up taking some picture of the figures that were on display because there was not many people there yet. One thing i really like... | | |
| 4:49pm | A Close Encounter with Nature and a Bunch of Chamomiles | | | | Excuse my reminiscence I had the luxury of going to Eden nature park during my Davao trip, together with the hamster chef and another friend of ours. We took this opportunity to go on a guided shuttle tour around the vast land of Eden, where we felt really close to nature as we roamed around its beautiful... | | |
| 3:27pm | How I Failed Axiology 101 | | | | Objectively not great, but emotionally 3x better than any other AMV. The (dis)connection between love for anime and anime’s good quality is something that’s been bouncing around in my head for a while, and Demian’s recent post on ‘Liking Bad Anime’ (hopefully to be followed... | | |
| 4:00am | Toshokan Sensou Review |  | | | Although the premise/title of Toshokan Sensou sounded cheesy, I was quickly swayed by Usagijen’s TS pimping. I’m glad I did, and if you can get over the idea of people fighting over books, I think you will find a lot to like in TS. Story Toshokan Sensou follows Kasahara Iku in her quest... | | |
