| 6:36am | Summer '08 Season Review | | | | In general the shows that were completed during the summer season were very weak. With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices. Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:... | | |
| 1:11pm | 1/8 Louise PVC [Uniform Version] | | | | Today Alter announced the preorder of a really cute figure of Louise from the anime seriesZero no Tsukaima: Princess no Rondo. She is scheduled for released in February 2009 and will be retailing for 6,800 yen. Absolutely love the pose since we get a nice peak of her pantsu. =P~~ | | |
| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |
| 4:16pm | Zero no Tsukaima ~Princess no Rondo~ - 12 [Final] |  | | | Everyone fights against Gallia’s giant golem that tries to stop their return to Tristain. Impressions: This episode was pretty good. I still don’t think it’s quite as epic as the second season’s climax where Saito fights thousands of enemies, but it was still a pretty good episode. I pretty... | | |
| 1:09am | ToraDora! - Teh Rie doesn’t get old | | | | Wow, the guys are having bad first episodes! One would think I would get tired of Kugimiya Rie playing yet another small tsundere loli with a temper problembut seeing that I managed to finish “Zero no Tsukaima Princess no Rondo” riding on Rie power, I think that won’t ever be the... | | |
| 8:25am | The Fall Call: Fall 2008 Anime Preview | | | | I know, I know, I’m late– things have gotten very busy with my project. But here it is: your Fall 2008 anime preview! A couple of interesting trends this season. First off, I was struck by how many shows this season are the directorial debuts for the people helming them. Hyakko (Michio Fukuda),... | | |
| 2:23pm | [Anime Bento] Watchlist Fall - Winter 2008 | | | | What are you going to watch this Fall? As written up earlier on my previous post. Here is a list of anime I would like to check out at least the 1st few episodes. I will be updating throughout the post with additional videos PVs for each series as I find them. Currently a bit busy with other things... | | |
| 10:02pm | Zero no Tsukaima Princess no Rondo | | | | The third season of Zero no Tsukaima was just as I expected, “meh”. It seems when I have my expectations for an anime set very low, I can take it’s crappiness a bit better. If I had high expectations for this third seasonthis post would be filled with rage. I don’t have much... | | |
| 5:40pm | Zero no Tsukaima 3 Review |  | | | I made it through another season of ZnT, and even low expectations were not fulfilled. Watching ZnT is like listening to a crappy broken record, where things keep resetting and repeating. Unlike everyone else, however, I will probably keep watching ZnT sequels as long as they keep coming out. I’ve... | | |
| 4:42pm | Noteworthy anime OSTs - 10 personal picks | | | | A common thread runs through my favourite anime scenes - Great music. I remember choking up in Asatte no Houkou ep 8 as “Kasa” hit a crescendo during a very poignant moment; cheering on Sasuke as he battled Orochimaru in ep 29 against the high tension flute notes of the Naruto soundtrack... | | |
| 1:58pm | Zero no Tsukaima PnR - 12 (FINAL IMPRESSIONS) | | | | Its the final one and all is back to normal except for Louise. Anime Impressions: To sum it up this episode featues Louise temporarily losing her magic, Tabatha tries to explain to Lousie the cause of it from a book she was reading. Sheffield uses her Giant Golem to track down and find Louise and... | | |
| 4:11am | Zero no Tsukaima 3 12 (Final) |  | | | Summary: Louise dreams that she lost her Void power and wakes up and finds she lost her Void power. She then wisely decides to subtly experiment casting Explosion in the woods, but it doesn’t work. This causes a crisis of faith, and Louise can only seethe jealously as Tabitha gives Saito... | | |
| 6:21pm | Zero no Tsukaima - Princess no Rondo 12: Wings of Freedom |  | | | IT’S PRINCESS NO RONDO’S FINAL EPISODE! Don’t be fooled, though. The title isn’t what you really think it is. Let’s just say it’s one savvy way to wrap things up.With Tabitha suddenly rescued (without even a fight?!), the group heads back towards Tristain, where Gallian... | | |
| 4:01pm | Zero no Tsukaima III ends |  | | | I don’t really have anything good to say about it, except for the awesome costumes the girls were wearing when they were infiltrating Galia. Otherwise I think this season was even more messed up than the second one was. While the initial half was pretty enjoyable, no thanks to Tiffania(Noto-sama... | | |
| 1:50pm | Zero no Tsukaima III Finale |  | | | Zero no Tsukaima seems to have shed its oppai anime aspirations, for the moment at least, in order to deliver a finale which many fans have been surprised to note is actually rather final. However, it does not appear many have any serious doubts that there will be a fourth season, and the success and... | | |
