| 4:12am | Utawarerumono OVA #01 — Gratuitous | | | | I almost went with "Gratuitits." Impressions: Well, this was extremely disappointing. Taking the production away from Oriental Lights and Magic did not turn out for the best here. If all you want to see is the girls from the show sitting around in a bath topless for a little while along... | | |
| 8:00pm | Summer 2009 Anime Schedule | | | | The new summer season gets going tomorrow and Thursday, with two new series: Umi Monogatari and Fight! Ippatsu Juuden-chan.Just in time for the season, here is a weekly anime schedule. I use these to help me keep track of the shows.

| 7:57pm | Tears to Tiara - Blu-Ray volume 1 |  | | | Today, after some customs delay and courier problems, I finally received the first volume of Tears to Tiara. Having got a PS3, I chose the Blu-Ray version (priced 8,192 yen, quite steep if you hear me): as I preordered it soon enough, I got the first presse edition, which, according to CDJapan, was... | | |
| 1:16pm | Guin Saga - 10 | | | | Ah, I remember how the last time an anime toyed with large-scaled fantasy wars, we got stuck with Utawarerumono, which in the end never really caught on. Thank god Guin Saga is doing a good job this time. Its individual ingredients aren’t that impressive, but together they form a very capable... | | |
| 12:58am | Tears to Tiara #06 — RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI VII | | | | SHE WILL DESTROY YOU! Impressions: Well, they made Arawn torch Llyr’s clothes after all. Great work, Arawn and Riannon. I want to know why she didn’t take Ria as her husband. I think that would have been far more amusing for all involved, and probably would have avoided the weird public... | | |
| 7:16am | April Summary | | | | I think that this is the first time that this ever happened ever since I started including ratings in these summaries: none of the shows I’m watching has a rating of 9/10 or above. But that’s logical since the only awesome show that continued from the past month was Hajime no Ippo, and that... | | |
| 1:02pm | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Tears to Tiara | | | | By my count, I only have seven more spring shows that still need a first impressions post written after this one and I think this is the last fantasy hack-n-slash anime for the season. Tears to Tiara is a visual novel adaptation with the source material created by the same people that did Utawarerumono... | | |

| 3:08pm | Eden of the East - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: Saki and ‘Akira’ arrive in Tokyo. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) Okay, thanks for some of the comments. I think with this I established my blogging schedule for this season (do note that the days are in my timezone, not necessarily at the day they air): Monday: Shangri-La,... | | |
| 12:40am | Tears to Tiara 01 - Did I Hear Wincest? | | | | I swear it was the fact that it was a Leaf/Aquaplus game first that drew me yeah, that!Is it weird that I watched this and don’t know whether to hate it or love it? What I can tell about the first episode is that there is no payoff yet, I have been cock blocked. The first episode didn’t... | | |
| 9:55pm | Tears To Tiara #01 — Darkest Show Imaginable | | | | Bring night goggles. New Season Disclaimer: I prefer to give every show a chance. You never know when your dream-eating insect wielding Mai HiME knockoff will turn out to be a psychological romantic thriller, or the strange moeblob show will be full of wit and urine jokes. However, my preferences... | | |
| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |
| 1:00pm | My Quest To Play Tears To Tiara Before Anime Release |  | | | A while ago I decided to download the available visual novel games that have been fan translated, as there aren’t any quality games that are translated officially. Well Tears to Tiara was one of those games and I kind of let it sit until I got time to play it. However when I saw the anime that were... | | |
| 9:00pm | Our Spring 2009 Picks |  | | | Well, as this site has always done the spring post here isn’t so much to tell you what is out there, but what the people on this site will be watching and blogging, so you know what to expect from the posts. As a recent post has mentioned this site will be doing a LOT more posts that just go... | | |
