| 3:56am | The Youth of Alphard |  | | | Although she makes it look easy it took many years for Alphard to become the dignified lady that she is today, this is the story of how I think it happenedSo Uncle Sam has been shipping me in and out of Virginia for the past month and will do so again soon enough… Still I think that at this point we... | | |
| 4:00am | Canaan - 05: Funny Girls |  | | | Thankfully the beggar who was faking it wasn’t the end of the parade of laughs, neither was Canaan’s morning sickness after her unforgettable night with Alphard onee-sama Yeah this one is sadly late again, but between my brother’s WoW addiction, C Schools, and routing up a memo for international... | | |
| 7:26pm | Summer Season Favorites -- Blue Flowers in an Earthquake | | | | Three episodes in, now it can be said: Aoi Hana ("Sweet Blue Flowers") and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 are my top shows of the summer season. And both are so good that, if they fulfill their promise, they could become anime masterpieces.Close behind comes Bakemonogatari, and I'm enjoying a number of other shows,... | | |
| 7:14pm | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – CANAAN | | | | A couple of months ago I finally got around to watching PA Works’ first and only other work – True Tears. It definitely was a very pretty anime to look at but I never connected with the characters so it ultimately left me cold. With CANAAN, I was hoping for a better result since I hate to see good... | | |
| 7:05pm | Kanamemo: A “Touching” Story, Like Really | | | | A rambling post awaits you, don’t say I didn’t warn you. You know something’s fishy when someone ends up liking a series for how heartwarming it is, while another one ends up liking it for the lulz factor. Take for example Opinion 1 of deathkillz regarding Kanamemo: “it was really... | | |
| 4:12am | Tokikake |  | | | This is why I have the rule never buy DVDs for shows I didn’t watch (and the one I violated the other day, bet true tears is going to suck). I tried to leave the screening 3 times, but my family restrained me. Certainly, Tokikake is not bad bad, just immensely underwhelming and disappointing... | | |
| 3:04pm | Bandai’s strange sales tactics |  | | | The announcement that Bandai suddenly made Kannagi available is making rounds. John posted the official side, including the streaming at ANN (eat it, Crunchyroll). Andy confirmed that he worked on Kannagi in the recent batch. Certainly there was quite a bit of speculation and surprise. Derek suggested... | | |
| 9:03am | Canaan - 02 | | | | Okay, so this season I’m going to be blogging Canaan. It’s supposed to be a short series, and I’m not going to be expecting the most amazing things from it, but instead what I want from this series is the things it did well in its first episode: fun and well directed action scenes.... | | |
| 5:47am | Canaan 01: Girls + Guns + Mild Levels of Yuri = WIN |  | | | Biggest Non-Mecha Fight of the Season. As PA Works second major project (after the much loved True Tears) it certainly has gone off with a mighty bang, it looks like they came to play. It seems that PA Works can also do action sequences in addition to animating festivals. I am not sure of what exactly... | | |
| 8:34am | Canaan 01: Mystic Adaptation Of Familiar Plot | | | | The most unfortunate thing about this show is that they’re both girls. A TYPE-MOON anime involving magical eyes? I sure didn’t see that coming! Thankfully, unlike the awful pun I just made which has fallen flat on its face, Canaan stands strong on its feet and has left the biggest impression... | | |
| 5:09pm | CANAAN - Episode 1 | | | | Yes, that's right, it really is new anime season time yet again - Has it really been thirteen weeks since the lasts time I uttered those words? Apparently so. Anyhow, first out of the gate for me this season is CANAAN (no, I don't know why it's all in capitals either), a show notable if nothing else... | | |
| 11:22am | The Summer… What to Do? | | | | Blog some anime stuff, right? Yes. I’m pretty much back after some time of shittery in college, but that’s fine, because I’m boss. Apparently, assistant boss because Nagato-sama did mention something to me about some plans this summer about the site. She didn’t give any specifics,... | | |
| 11:04am | 25 Things anime style – Yes, this is the stupid Facebook meme | | | | Totally unrelated but sexy. Um yeah. I had drafted this up months ago when this stupid 25 things was all the rage on Facebook. It was actually pretty damn annoying. I thought it would be fun to do an anime only related one. Basically you have to list 25 things about yourself. 1. I think I know what... | | |
| 5:47am | Summer 2009 Preview! |  | | | The Spring season seemed to go by really fast, and now Summer is finally here! The selection is a little bit more limited than the Spring season, but there's still around 20 new shows premiering, not including OVAs or kiddie stuff. As usual, I'll try to watch the first episode of as many shows as... | | |
