| 7:48am | Orion on Juuden-chan, Umineko, and others |  | | | Warmed up after the metablogging, he decided to deliver some smackdowns. I understand [Juuden-chan] really pushed the envelope in terms of what you can get away with and still be on broadcast television, what with masochism and urination in every episode. Or so I hear anyway. I couldn’t deal with... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Groups G & H, Day 2″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: Haruhi/Eruruu tie and Nagi. Since both Haruhi and Eruruu ended up in a draw, the two will advance to Round 3. So instead of a Top 32 contest, we’ll have a Top 33 — a first in Saimoe history. The last time two contestants ended up in a tie was on August 8th, 2007. Evangeline and... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 4:30pm | T.H.A.T. Fall 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Deadpan lolis, my favorite Welcome to another edition of the T.H.A.T. anime preview! Out of a total of 26 series covered in this preview (I excluded the kiddie shows/educational stuff as usual), the statistical breakdown goes like this (some categories overlap): Sequels: 8 Spin-offs: 3 New Shows: 15... | | |

| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group H – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Yomi, Yumiko, Zange, and Chika. Congrats to all our winners who made it past the 1st round. Glad to see Zange survive. Was pulling for Rina but unfortunately she fell short of enough votes. And two Saki characters were eliminated on the same day. Anyhow, the 2nd round Group matches begin September... | | |
| 7:34pm | All You Need Is KILL | | | | I find myself in something of a quandary here. Typically, I tend to like to write about the translated novels I read. Well, all the translated novels I read which aren’t Vampire Hunter D – I don’t even want to think about where to start writing about those. I’ve also made it... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group H – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Sanya, Rena, Nodoka, and Tomoki. 2 of the 4 Saki characters from yesterday advanced. A Rena vs. Nagi rematch from 2007 is now going to happen in the second round. For today’s matches, I hope Zange pulls off the win.

| 12:42pm | August Summary | | | | Overall, I’m very pleased with this season. There were unfortunately a few series that disappointed this month, but at the same time there were also a lot of shows that exceeded my expectations about them. I think that the most notable of this season is that it’s the very first season in... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group F – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Ana, Ami, Kuroko, and Yue. Azunyan versus Index next! An extremely hard choice to make for me personally, but in the end I decided to go and support Index. Yui is my real representative for K-ON anyway. And also, go Taiga! Full results after the jump Group F-2 Results:1位 325票 (Ana... | | |
| 2:03pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group F – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Maria, Mikuru, Mizore, and Nagisa. Kagamin is gone. Mikuru is in. Maria showing a huge level of support from her fans. And everyone else, as predicted. But yes, there will be a new Saimoe champion this year. Full results after the jump Group F-1 Results:1位 748票 (Maria @ Hayate no Gotoku!!)2位 611票 (Ryuu... | | |
| 7:21am | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Spice and Wolf 2 | | | | I think this will be the last summer anime impression post I do. There’s at least one other show I’d write a post up about (GA – Geijutsuka Art Design Class) but the subs have been really slow and I don’t want to wait another month to get enough episodes to be able to do a post. (I’m not... | | |
| 7:07pm | Unfunny Internet Meme Comics – Dead Kero Week #2 | | | | Further to yesterdays post, here’s my entry into the random world of fanart for Saki’s inexplicably popular Kamigaki Megumi. I do wonder if her random, and relatively minor, internet fandom will result in her putting in an appearance in the upcoming individuals tournament qualifiers –... | | |
| 10:42pm | Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 6- Next Please | | | | Well I was somewhat unimpressed with the conclusion to the past arc of sorts. The combat was a bit boring, although it was nice to see Misa doing some herself. But the combat wasn’t particularly interesting, just throwing swords around and making blue ball barriers. Also, large chunks of the... | | |
| 3:54am | What the Heck Am I Still Watching? | | | | Just trying to take stock of all the anime things I’m following in a serial manner. I don’t think I’ve ever done it here, but there are some loose threads I want to write down. They are ordered by no coherent rationale, but they might be, I don’t know. Mobile Suit Gundam: 8th... | | |
