| 10:40pm | Yakushiji Ryoko No Kaiki Jikenbo - Episode 7 | | | | When a fellow 'Blogger tipped me off that this episode of Ryoko's Supernatural Case File was about a killer mangrove, I wasn't sure exactly how literally I should take that information given our often light-hearted discussions about the latest anime. Well, it looks like I should have taken it serious,... | | |
| 6:26pm | Battle of the Backlog: summer 2008 edition | | | | So far I’ve found only two new shows for the summer season that have really caught my attention and even then one of them, Eve no Jikan, isn’t following a weekly schedule.

| 6:00am | Weekly Anime Review (Aug 17 - 23) | | | | I know people from all over visit this blog but did anyone else feel autumn making it’s presence felt last week?
