| 3:47pm | Zettai Karen Children is not my cup of tea. |  | | | So while the shota and the erojiji were raving about this show, after watching it I just couldn’t feel the same way. (Although I am sad they didn’t invite me to their live viewing ) One thing that really annoyed me is Hirano Aya’s voice acting. It’s like she was trying so god... | | |
| 1:19pm | Sunday Delay and Absolutely Lovely Children OP/ED | | | | Sorry, I’m going over to a friend’s place for Bocce, BBQ, and to watch the opener for the new season of Doctor Who, amongst other sordid activities. You’ll just have to watch the girl sentai squad on repeat until I get back and drown myself in the four things airing today. Well, three... | | |
| 2:13am | Zettai Karen Children - 01 (LIVE) |  | | | We’re going raw with this one. And by raw, I mean RAW. I was idling online in Smash Bros while doing some reading for English, when Aroduc invited me to watch Zettai Karen Children live with him. I was definitely up for it after such a boring day of crappy anime, so this is where we ended up.... | | |
| 2:06am | Absolutely Lovely Children #01 — It’s Tsunday! | | | | Let’s have some fun tsun! Impressions: Some gents of Spoonsubs and I (and Totali too) watched the first episode as it aired on a live stream straight from Japan. That’s the reason for the low quality of the caps. Apologies. I actually ended up taking about 250 since I just randomly tapped... | | |

| 8:58pm | 49 New Anime: preview, staff, cast, story, pic | | | | As usual, what looked like a poor season is actually shaping up to have a number of interesting shows. Nothing so far looks like an instant classic, but there are always surprises. And with 49 shows (including OVAs), there could be plenty of surprises.Hirano Aya returns to anime in a big way, starring... | | |
| 7:59pm | Why People Hate Hirano Aya | | | | There is a large body of Japanese otaku who actively dislike Hirano Aya. She and Mizuki Nana seem to have the highest negative to positive thread ratio on 2channel.I usually put it down to two things: first, that otaku have a limited and conventional idea of how seiyuu should sound; and second that they... | | |
