| 4:28am | Monday Melodic Musings: Tytania – Andante Grandeioso Kokka | | | | Soundtrack music’s goal, first and foremost, is to evoke the emotions running through any given scene and help immerse the viewer in the going-ons. Good soundtrack music will do that so well that one can simply let the power of the music convey the scene in its totality. And for those who are... | | |

| 11:30am | Deadman Wonderland - 12 | | | | Well, this episode did stretch the suspense of disbelief again, but I liked it. There is of course a problem with Owl mowing down a small army in an instant, only to take a minute to punch Ganta, but heck: if it’s established that the Deadmen have superhuman healing powers I guess it could have... | | |
| 4:42pm | Bakuman - 25 | | | | A decent ending. It’s not bad, but it didn’t stand out either. It was probably the most shounen episode of this entire series: the lead couple got through, while some of the minor rivals did not and have to wait for their next chance. Not very exciting, although the creators did do a nice... | | |
| 9:42pm | Legend Of Galactic Heroes - My Conquest is the Sea of Stars Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Legend of Galactic Heroes is a franchise that, more than any other one, baffles me as to how it got made. I mean, if it was just a television series or a few movies about realistic space battles between huge armies, then okay: it would have been an interesting experiment to do. Instead though, the... | | |
| 12:00am | Anime Opera IN SPACE | | | | I’m not confident in my genre-theory so I present this post with a galaxy’s worth of disclaimers and caveats. I just thought it’d be a fun exercise to do a Cartesian quadrant kind of chart to “locate” or analyze the anime space operas I’ve completed (or at least have... | | |
| 8:28am | Review: Legend of Legendary Heroes (伝説の勇者の伝説) | | | | The main male protagonist, and also one of the best characters in this anime. After being preempted by me watching The World God Only Knows, my plan to watch both Katanagatari and The Legend of Legendary Heroes will now proceed as planned. I will start with the latter first, and that title will compete... | | |
| 11:10pm | Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Denyuuden was definitely an interesting series. It’s the kind of anime that you normally wouldn’t expect anything great of at first sight (or at least I didn’t), and yet delivers some episodes that completely exceed expectations. The first thing I want to say to people who are planning... | | |
| 7:27pm | Bakuman - 02 | | | | As for the series I’m not going to blog: - The only good thing of Iron Man is its soundtrack. I mean, I can understand that Madhouse had to sacrifice the animation in favour of Redline, but that’s far from the only problem here. Who the hell wrote this rubbish? - MM had together with... | | |
| 6:11am | Otakon 2010 Days 2 and 3: This One Might Hurt More Than Expected |  | | | Right, time to finish this one up. Picture and text spam incoming.Chise from Saikano. Saturday started with a panel from increasingly notable anime, manga and fandom researcher Alex Leavitt on the noitaminA programming block, and its relative success at its TV time slot compared to other shows. Alex... | | |
| 3:25pm | Sentai Rescues Sola, Shigofumi, Nabs Tytania | | | | Sentai Filmworks has announced its August slate of releases, which includes three new titles: Sola, Shigofumi, and Tytania.Sola Sola is a harem drama revolving around a young man whose hobby is taking pictures of the sky, and who meets a girl one night who wants to see the sunny sky but can’t... | | |
| 10:18pm | 2009 Honor Roll Part I: The Strategists, The Ruthless, and The Heroes |  | | | Unlike that honor these do not require a beheading With the passing of 2009 we thought that it was time to recognize those who showed individual competence during the course of the year. While it is the habit of many to judge series here we prefer to recognize the characters that made their shows a... | | |
| 5:32am | Which Autumn Series do you want me to blog? | | | | Now that it’s September again, I’d like to return to a yearly tradition for this blog in the form of a little contest I hold every year. It basically consists out of a poll of the series that are going to be airing in the upcoming fall season, and me blogging whatever series that received... | | |
| 8:31pm | Guin Saga - 21 | | | | Haha! This series is getting closer and closer to the big climax. Or at least the big climax that’s going to close off the first of hopefully many Guin Saga seasons. To be honest, out of all the shows I’m watching right now that are about to end, this is the series that I’m rooting... | | |
