| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 1:00pm | Opening doors to new interests |  | | | Some consider a strength of anime to be the sheer variety in the topics that shows cover. From this summer 2009 season alone, we have anime featuring mahjong, baseball, vampires, witches, butlers, maids, newspaper delivery services, alchemy, and lesbians. Of course, that’s not to say live-action... | | |
| 4:00pm | Sora no Manimani 5 - In the Region of the Summer Stars |  | | | A rather implausible plot premise turns into a rather beautiful evocation about the constellations and the reason why people began to stargaze. Let’s keep this review short and sweet, much like the show itself. First off–perhaps it’s because I’ve never seen student government... | | |
| 7:00am | valkyria rips off minami-ke character, mai hime scene | | | | What I expected from Valkyria Chronicles was a half-way decent strategy anime (a less ridiculous Code Geass) crossed with Yakitate Japan (with insects instead of bread) with a touch of biology, botany, and bosoms (Selvaria’s, of course). What I got was a lightweight slice-of-life and quite poorly... | | |
| 12:12pm | Next Episode: Baka-Raptor | | | | It’s that time of the year again when bastards compile into one show to inspire stupidity across the blogosphere.Rakuen: Are Chaneru~!Shin: YOOOSHAAA!!!Rakuen: Hai! Hai! You’re now tuning in to the LIVE replay of this edition of Next Episode!Shin: YOOOSHAAA!!!Rakuen: Yeah, so before Shin... | | |
| 12:00am | The Prince of Tennis Can Suck My Balls | | | | Yes, that’s me cosplaying as Atobe Keigo, Captain of the Great Hyotei Gakuen Tennis Club Hate is not the opposite of love. I hate The Prince of Tennis. I can no longer watch it without hurting myself. The most honest rating I can give it is about 3-4 hard facepalms per episode (the kind that leaves... | | |
| 7:07am | The Jealousy Yakitate Japan |  | | | Hayate! Maria! :O!!!!!!! Hayate is so daring! Oh lol, the plant makes an appearance! GJ, J.C. Staff! Seriously, Hayate has no sense of timing or reading the situation. Yes, I quite agree that Ayumu can be pretty darn cute sometimes. I’ve never really mentioned this so far, but I’m... | | |
| 6:37am | Beginner Anime | | | | Two major categories have sprung up in anime discourse. There are referential anime such as Yakitate Japan and Lucky Star, and there are anime which are designed to be watched with no prior knowledge of anime, such as Bleach and Naruto. In keeping with the concept that otaku culture is like a language... | | |
| 2:13am | A shounen action series … | | | | about baking bread? Serious baking is not for the faint-hearted. Azuma Kazuma, the protagonist of Yakitate!! Japan, is a sixteen-year-old with an immense talent for baking. He’s bumptious, naive and not terribly bright, but he is extremely dedicated to his craft. He has a special gift, “solar... | | |
| 6:26am | Instant Manga Reviews: Melty Blood and The World’s Best Surgeon | | | | I caught something at Otakon and I’m still feeling kinda bad, but I’ll try to get enough power to write it up by listening to No Border on repeat (although kransom and others pretty much got all you’d care about). Meanwhile, here’s some stuff I meant to post about ages ago. Melty... | | |
| 7:31pm | Hidamari Sketch x365 #06 — This Episode Made Me Sleepy Too, Sae | | | | Be more interesting, damn you! Impressions: A very Sae/Hiro centered episode, though part 1 was pretty much exclusively Sae and part 2 Hiro. This would normally be a good thing, but it really felt like they phoned it in for this one. I don’t know maybe I’m just getting a little tired... | | |
