| 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... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Group G – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Evangeline, Kamyu, Mikoto, and Yoshinoya-sensei. Congrats to Eva and Biribiri. Next set of matches, I want to see Shiho win but have to face reality. Meh, I just have to believe! Oh, and there’s also some girl named Haruhi up next. C’mon Ritsu! Full results after the jump Group... | | |
| 6:55pm | Hirano Aya-only TV ep4 -- mangaka's assistant | | | | Another exquisitely amusing hour with Aya. She does some work as an assistant to Zettai Karen Children mangaka Shiina Takashi 椎名高志. And she actually seemed to do a decent job.Here, from Aya's blog, is a pic of the mangaka with Aya and his staff, including his wife, who is his main assistant:Aya... | | |
| 6:37am | Revisiting Zettai Karen Children |  | | | While I dropped it last year out of boredom (or maybe because I had been burned out of SynergySP stuff through the first season of Hayate no Gotoku!), Zettai Karen Children is now tons of fun again this summer. With HnG’s second season going down a different (and so much better) path, it’s... | | |
| 11:18pm | Summer '09 Previews | | | | With several shows that I enjoy carrying on from spring; add 14 new ones, plus Haruhi new episodes, Zetsubou Sensei 3rd and Ookami 2nd season; this summer looks very promising! The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this... | | |
| 3:05am | Karen Girl’s – MY WINGS | | | | I started watching Zettai Karen Children recently But I have to say, what got me interested was the discovery of this PV by Karen Girl’s. There’s a certain style of music I like, and this fell right into it. Of course, since I just started watching Zettai Karen Children, the OP isn’t... | | |
| 11:06pm | Anime Summer 2009 -- full previews w/cast, staff, story, trailer, pic | | | | Last summer, I could find only 30 shows to preview. This summer, there are 36, without even counting movies.And that doesn't include strong continuing shows, such as Requiem for the Phantom, Pandora Hearts, Cross Game, Before Green Gables, Mazinger Z, Guin Saga, Hanasakeru Shounen, Saki -- and new episodes... | | |

| 5:29pm | Winter '09 Short Reviews | | | | Only a couple of months late, but the new semester's schedule is really tough. Anyway, winter had a couple of good one-cour series and another couple of two-cour also concluded. Excellent:Maria Holic Good:Ride Back, To aru Majutsu no Index, Toradora OK:Akikan, Shikabane Hime, Zettai Karen Children Watchable:Asu... | | |
| 6:30pm | Absolutely Lovely Children #51 — And That’s Why We Won’t Lose! | | | | Now what’ll I do with my Sunday mornings? Impressions: No ending expected, and none really achieved, aside from leaving things open for a post-graduation second season. While it certainly would have been great to see the future esper war, this has always really been more presented like a western... | | |
| 4:28am | 2009 Spring Anime Menu: Boys Keep Out Edition | | | | Springtime is finally here (yes we’re late, don’t have to tell us), bringing with it a HEAPLOAD of animes!! ‘For You in Full Blossom’ is but apt to describe this season, with plenty of variety to cater to just about any audience. And since our beloved male chefs didn’t... | | |
| 6:37am | Absolutely Lovely Children #50 — I Don’t Wanna Grow Up | | | | I’m a Toys R Us kid. Impressions: Well, that was a little underwhelming. The whole big conflict was just Minamoto thinking that he had a good life as a kid, and getting a little pissy at the others for wanting him to give it up. Then a little "believe in us" and that was the end of... | | |
| 7:53am | Absolutely Lovely Children #49 — Everybody Loves Little Boys | | | | Leave it to Kyosuke to mindwipe an entire elementary school just to dick with Minamoto. Impressions: I suppose it was a decent episode, but it felt a little lackluster for being the show’s finale arc. Then again, Syobai has ZKC marked as ending in March, with more episodes in April, so maybe... | | |
| 2:51pm | TBE’s Mega Spring Anime Preview 2009 |  | | | A tad late for this but is better than never, March is here and what are our own picks of the anime in Spring. A quick breakdown on the list and I realized that there a couple of interesting animes out there. Lets see what we have in our mega spring anime preview. Titles are arranged randomly.
