| 5:21pm | The Index Post To End All Index Posts | | | | It’s time for Nova to yet again whine about To Aru Majutsu no Index but this time is different - different because I promise that this will be the last post I’m ever going to write about it. As such I’m going all out to clear my mind of this cancer that has been infecting it yet again... | | |

| 8:22am | Zero no Tsukaima III OVA - A Sartorial Mystery | | | | Despite wearing nothing else but a revealing bikini, Queen Henrietta still dons her tiara.I’ve already mentioned this elsewhere, in various discussions about the OVA, but it still bears repeating: why?That tiara is beginning to seem less like a symbol of office than some sort of cartilaginous ... | | |
| 2:44am | eyeVio |  | | | image ID#6077Last Thursday Sony Japan launched their YouTube like service called eyeVio and they invited me go attend the launch party. I thought to myself "oh crap!" as all my normal civilian clothing was in the wash and had nothing to wear. Reluctantly, I decided to go in the only thing that I had... | | |
| 6:52pm | Zero no Tsukaima ~Princess no Rondo~ - OVA |  | | | The existence of this OVA came as a surprise to me, but I followed the series so of course I had to check it out at least. It was pretty stupid I have to say, stupid, but very fun to watch. It’s pretty much expected that an OVA for this series won’t be anything important that has anything to do... | | |

| 7:04pm | The Hidden War Within Japanese Visual Culture |  | | | Japan is up in your moon, alright with your otakus Or so you thinkI don’t know if you should take this account, since I might be the only one noticing and giving some “importance”. But take a very long look at a piece of popular otaku visual material. Let’s try an anime adapted... | | |
| 10:15pm | How To Make An Ita-Keyboard | | | | The making of an ita-keyboard, featuring the girls of Idol Master, is shown in this video. A rather unusual choice of itafication indeed The project took the maker 10 hours, and cost a rather modest ¥2,380. Player 1 Nico. It looks as though the lack of characters on the keys is deliberate, as... | | |
| 9:49pm | How To Make An Ita-PC | | | | This interesting video details one approach to making a desktop ita-PC, a PC whose moe qualities (or more likely, obsessively involved construction) induce pain in the viewer, as with an itasha. In this case, a rather tsundere Zero no Tsukaima design is opted for The total cost, including the case,... | | |
| 3:27pm | Touhou Doujin Anime - A Summer Day’s Dream | | | | Another futile attempt for Touhou anime? I think not. Old post may be old, though. Well, I’ll be. Just when I said I wouldn’t do episodic blogging, lots of interesting stuff pop out. FuyuComi may not have that much riches, but at least it offered some pretty decent (or semi-decent) stuff.... | | |
| 11:22am | Thoughts on Toradora! An Emotional Storm Brewing in a Water Glass | | | | I’m sure most of us who have tuned in for the current season are aware of Toradora!, a light novel adaptation being produced by J.C. Staff. I had my doubts about the show, partly thanks to already seeing how the production group has handled some of its previous works in novel adaptations. In... | | |
| 11:08am | Hidden Gems in Anime | | | | Japanese animation is fun for people from all over the world because the stories appeal to us even though we may not have the same cultural background as Japanese viewers. While anime is usually bouncy and fun, it's amazing how often you can find depth in unexpected places when you dig beneath the surface.... | | |

But the more dangerous, the more people want to pry itbut once you enter, you won’t be coming out. Before I start with this,... | | |
| 12:00pm | 2008 in Review: The Good, the Bad and the WTF?! |  | | | This post is dedicated to the good, the bad and the WTF’s of this year. It’s really been an interesting year.. Heh, I was supposed to post this yesterday, but with all the shopping, satelite tracking, celebrations and epic rickrolling, I only finished it today. I guess this will be my... | | |
| 1:05pm | Best Anime of 2008 | | | | Maybe it’s because I didn’t watch as many anime as I did last year due to work, but it seems like the overall quality of anime released this year wasn’t as high as last year. That doesn’t mean that the series that came out this year are bad. It’s just I find that there... | | |
