| 5:38am | Kyouran Kazoku Nikki #16 — Candy Girl | | | | You are all my world. Impressions: Every minute I spend writing this is a minute that could be better spent watching Zettai Karen Children or the new Lupin movie.

Zero no Tsukaima may be up there, too.Strike Witches has over 44,000 posts. I suspect some... | | |
| 2:01am | Absolutely Lovely Children #16 — Let Me Sing For You | | | | Oh god, please don’t. Impressions: Damn. We went a week without using the OP as an insert, but then they had to go and use it twice during this episode, keeping the average more or less in place. Oh well, it was overall a relatively fun episode, but missing pretty much all of the seriousness... | | |

| 4:19am | Absolutely Lovely Children #15 — ELEPHANT MINDCRUSH | | | | One of the lesser known psychic attacks. Impressions: I have to admit that this episode started poorly as far as my brain was concerned.

| 12:46am | On Into Summer | | | | Extended weekend fuuuuuuuu~! Finished Vampire Knight season one, which was crap (started out well enough, but didn’t go anywhere interesting, and moved too slowly).

Well, we’ll see. First up is a show that continues to be my favorite show of the season.Kaiba,... | | |
| 1:47am | Absolutely Lovely Children #13 — Good Genes | | | | Her chest’s going to be huuuuuuuge in a few years. Impressions: This was quite a bit better than I was expecting it to be, but Kaoru’s family is almost as annoying as she can be. At least they’re nice to look at, even if they’re not the brightest bulbs in the world. I find... | | |

Le’see what happened in these final few episodes? So, Kally died, and then Ahmey dies trying to kill Druaga. The remaining climbers (minus, Pazuz and Neeba the... | | |
| 6:47pm | 2008 Summer Anime Preview Pool Party and Daiquiri Making Contest | | | | Hot fun in the summer time. Obligatory mention that I’m going to end up watching the first episode of almost everything except sequel series anyway and doing a very very brief summarized tagline once I have actual information and can form an opinion that isn’t based on marketing and smoke... | | |
| 1:59am | Absolutely Lovely Children #12 — Max, Your Shoe is Ringing | | | | A joke so old that it’s become topical again. Wow. Impressions: Every week I hope and I pray that the preview for the next week will have PANDRA finally forming.
