| 12:40am | Touka Gettan, Episode 1 | | | | I watched this because my friend pushed me to do it, and because of this. HOWEVER, that was one of the weirdest and most confusing episode of anime I’ve ever watched (it’s no where near as weird as Melody of obvilion though, NOTHING can beat random monsters, talking unicorns, carrot knifes,... | | |

| 9:00am | The Bunny-Bushido On RAW Anime Watching/Blogging | | | | While this topic has been argued to no end, a recent issue just sparked me to post my thoughts on this. First off, let me ask you this, will you watch an anime raw, and even go to the extent of blogging it, if you didn’t understand much of what’s being said in the episode(s)? This is not quite a... | | |
| 6:28pm | Vampire Knight -- character/seiyuu pics and info | | | | Vampire Knight is one of the shows I am enjoying this season. But it is a little hard to keep the various members of the "night class" straight.

| 10:30am | Shion no Ou - 22 | | | | God this series is over at last. Endings like this one always have a certain air of predictability.

| 3:28pm | Another Anime With Yuri In It: Touka Gettan | | | | I may not like everything I read or watch, and there are times were I am likely to be less satisified than others at the portrayal of Yuri in my chosen media, but that's not because I don't like Yuri.
