| 7:31pm | Absolutely Lovely Children #31 — Not Suitable for US Broadcast | | | | The rare PG-13 ZKC episode. Impressions: No, sadly, it’s not for nudity, but rather for all the swearing that Mary and Ken do. Don’t they know that there are children present? A kind of weird episode overall though that was mostly a rehash of the previous Aoi-centric episode only with... | | |
| 3:23am | Absolutely Lovely Children #30 — Angel or Satan | | | | Plus a delicious boss fight! Impressions: An absolutely spectacular episode all around. The first 18 minutes or so was basically just wacky comedy with the girls being their greedy little impish selves the entire time, along with all the fun and laughs that both Mio and Muscle Okama bring. That alone... | | |
| 3:39am | Absolutely Lovely Children #29 — Za Adulto Returns | | | | Sort of. Impressions: Well honestly I didn’t really like this episode all that much. Minamoto wasn’t really as embarassed by the fake girls as normal since he knew that it was just the perfectly legal Hanai using their forms. On the other hand, he couldn’t stop thinking about them... | | |
| 8:36pm | Out with the old anime, in with the New | | | | FINISHED! * Allison and Lilia - solid B+ adventure * Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - brought out my inner fangirl; late-game cockblocking was a little annoying, but in line with the show’s general demeanor * Itazura na Kiss - This got dull, but I finished it anyway. Needed morelulz. * Special A... | | |
| 5:51am | Absolutely Lovely Children #28 — Old, Horny, Pedophillic, and Hot | | | | Rarely do all four coincide. Impressions: Ah Fujiko you silly horny old woman. She does look pretty good for her age, and finally provides a reason as to why Kyosuke doesn’t just level BABEL and do whatever he wants. It does sort of make the chief kind of redundant now, but I wouldn’t... | | |
| 9:24pm | Tomatsu Haruka -- Birth of a Star | | | | I haven't been a fan of Tomatsu Haruka's 戸松遥 ,voice until now. But in the first episode of the new show Kannagi, she was absolutely outstanding. Her voice dipped and soared, turned and shifted, going sure-footedly from offended goddess to stranded innocent to loopy comedienne to regal mother-figure... | | |
| 10:58pm | Hirano Aya's New Single Sneaks Into Top Ten | | | | Hirano Aya's new single 涙 NAMIDA ナミダ (Tears, Tears, Tears) is at number ten on its first day on the charts. It is the ED to the new anime Hyakko, in which she is part of the four-member main cast.And as it turns out, today is her 21st birthday.The single was written and produced by Tsunku♂,... | | |
| 5:50am | Zettai Witches, Lucky Children & Macross ZC |  | | | Episode 27 of tame loli anime Zettai Karen Children has sprung more than a few surprises, with no fewer than three different crossover cameos appearing in the episode. Perrine, Sanya and Eila of Strike Witches all appear in the classroom, the girls of Lucky Star also appear in another background (with... | | |
| 6:19pm | Absolutely Lovely Children #27 — Strike Witches, Lucky Star, and Gomzo | | | | Oh lord, what the hell happened here? Impressions: Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of silence please for Over the Future World. *sigh* I really don’t like the new OP. In fact, the whole episode felt pretty weird. Gonzo had a hand in producing this episode (and I think will be heavily contributing... | | |
| 3:45am | Absolutely Lovely Children #26 — The Queen of Catastrophe | | | | I’d let her ruin me any day of the week. I’m still on vacation for another couple days. Yes yes, this is late, but I don’t think I’m going to get to Kyouran Kazoku Nikki until tomorrow regardless. I watched about 5 minutes of it and my brain shut down. It’s another... | | |
| 1:51am | Absolutely Lovely Children #25 — The Children vs The Unborn | | | | Sadly, this matchup is way more even than it should be. Impressions: This week, on a very special Zettai Karen Children, the girls learn a valuable lesson about acceptance. Definitely not the best of episodes, though I guess it’s meant to ease us back into the whole ‘normals vs espers’... | | |
| 4:14am | 2channel Still Crazy -- 30 Hirano Aya Threads in the top 60 | | | | I guess 2channel being crazy isn't news, but I've never seen anything like this: of the top 60 most recently active threads in the 2channel seiyuus forum, 30 are about Hirano Aya. Normally, each seiyuu has only one discussion thread.And here I thought the madness was dying down. What makes it even stranger... | | |
| 2:11am | Absolutely Lovely Children #24 — Stockholm Syndrome | | | | From hostage to maid in one night well done, Minamoto. Impressions: Another pretty solid episode, though it got downright weird towards the end. Yes, even for a show with telekinetic laser squirrels, a monstrous Mio-clone fused to a bulldozer is downright bizarre, to say nothing of angelic Kaoru... | | |
| 2:17am | Absolutely Lovely Children #23 — The Coming Storm | | | | Now you’re thinking with portals. Impressions: An absolutely awesome episode from start to finish. We had it all, yaoi jokes, Kyosuke giving insane speeches, portal-(psuedo)loli, Sakaki kneeing a giant guy in the balls, and Kugimiya Rie this close to carrying on a conversation with herself... | | |
| 6:01am | Zettai Karen Children 01 |  | | | Bending to the persuasiveness of IRC, and having read what Aroduc had to say, I checked out the first episode of Zettai Karen Children. The series does not appear like anything for me to watch, but it’s absolutely amazing. The first thing that jumps out is the art and animation. I don’t... | | |
