| 2:08am | Initial D? In MY Lucky Star?! | | | | Sweet mercy, the animation, the entertainment, the fanservice, and the lulz, just shot straight through the roof this week. We are already seeing the directorial switch coming into fruition here. It's been awhile since I've been so excited for a series. 18 more episodes to go. Buckle up~... | | |
| 12:59am | Heroic Age Episode 4 - The Planet Titaros | | | | The Argonaut docks at the planet Titaros (not a Greek word, just one they’ve made up that sounds Greek) to refuel etc., but the Silver Tribe sends a Nodoss, Carcinos (which means “crab”! Hee!), to test Age’s strength. Vehicular leaping and slightly ropey animation | | |
| 10:15pm | Kamichama Karin - 06 |  | | | So while I was hoping that they’d do more on the school festival this week I guess this will be a 2 ep or 3 ep arc. Anyway Kazune’s been training Karin to learn to “run away” even if she gets a bit physically hurt. Karin is angry that he wants her to run away instead of | | |
| 9:22pm | Dennou Coil (Cyber Coil) Episode 1 - The Children With Glasses | | | | OP - Prism (Ayako Ikeda) - the OP animation itself is nothing overly exciting (more interesting) although it’s well done. I love the song, though; like the show, it’s got a good mix between the technological and the soulful in its mix of synth noises and more acoustic instruments. | | |
| 9:59am | Fun Friday AMV (5/11/07) “Stop Watching Anime and Go Outside!” | | | | A recent batch of AMV awards were given out on the Web, and this video by dokidoki won both Best Comedy and Best Lip Sync. Played to the song “There Is Life Outside Your Apartment” by Avenue Q, the video is all about an anime junkie whose friends drag him outside to experience other joys... | | |
| 9:03am | Nodame Cantabile - 16 | | | | With’s Chiaki’s orchestra members assembled, he conducts Mozart’s Oboe Concerto in C Major K.314. Though he notices Mine snuck in and told him he’s not needed as there are enough members. Once playing, he notices how everyone is good, especially Kuroki, the oboe soloist. Back... | | |
| 8:53am | Weekly Oricon Top 30 - 5/14/07 | | | | All the times in the past that I’ve spoken bad about the OriconI’m sorry. Nothingabsolutely nothing compares to this week. Not only is there almost a total lack of new content, but what few debuts there are aren’t even all good. It’s a really, really depressing | | |
| 6:13am | Terra e 01-05 - Retro Sci-fi at its Finest | | | | Why in the world would a seventies science-fiction manga be turned into anime in 2007?This is the question I’ve been pondering since I first heard that the anime Terra e was in production. The manga ran from 1977, ending in 1980, in which year an anime movie of the same title was released. | | |
| 12:40am | Ookiku Furikabutte - 04 | | | | Chiyo’s fanboys, strike outs, old Ren VS new Ren, hitting or not hitting forkballs, Tajima’s weakness?!, Hanai’s competitive side, pitcher and catcher getting closer and closer, and Kanou’s secret inOokiku Furikabutte 04 - Play 「—レイ」The Mihoshi players | | |
| 3:20pm | UVERworld - endscape PV (Terra e… OP) |  | | | UVERworld's latest song endscape is featured as the opening of the series Terra e which I actually ended up watching only two episodes of (and blogged just the first). Despite that, I remember how much I liked the small bits of it played in the promos and how the TV-size version didn't quite | | |
| 1:26pm | Japanese College Students Can’t Read | | | | It seems like the “Is our children learning?” issue over here in America has finally reached Japan. In an article in the Sankei Shimbun, a reporter writes about stories heard from a junior college teacher in Kyuushuu whose students have trouble reading. At the start of the semester, he | | |
| 2:12am | Naruto -Shippuuden- 233 | | | | So it was a bit disappointing that the first half of the episode was spent on discussion while the last 5 min or so is where the real action was. I guess the good stuff is actually next week and not this week. So when they met up with Itachi (or so you think it’s Itachi) there was of course | | |
| 1:50am | Chicago Sun-Times orders sushi, performs DNA tests on food | | | | I don’t know why the Sun-Times decided to write an article about DNA testing their food. I mean, I do it all the time — it’s how I know that I’m getting the quality food that I ordered. Sure, the DNA testing may cost hundreds and thousands of times more than the actual food, | | |
| 12:17am | DVD Review: Ah My Goddess: Flights of Fancy | | | | Man, am I sucker for romantic comedies. So, what I got in the mail was the start of the second season of Ah My Goddess, a series which I haven’t watched the first season of. So naturally, I’m the perfect person to review it! In all seriousness, though, this is a decent series.What | | |
| 6:00pm | FiguNews: ALTER - 1/6 Saber PVC (Maid Ver) [Fate/hollow ataraxia] | | | | What do we have here again? Another Saber in maid costume. First impression isn’t too good. In my opinion, her face sculpt looks slightly off. It is almost like ALTER trying to differentiate this version from others, but maybe a little too much. Personal take? GSC’s version of Saber in | | |
