| 1:56am | Absolutely Lovely Children #11 — The Promise of Hot Springs | | | | Well Kaoru is right. Impressions: Not a bad episode, but it felt kind of lacking at the same time. There was a lot of manservice. A LOT of manservice. Every time the camera zoomed out on one of those scenes, I started flinching, knowing it’d stop just sort of them actually having to censor... | | |
| 8:00am | The birds and the bees with Naisho no Tsubomi | | | | Where do babies come from? With nothing to watch and time to kill earlier today, I ended up watching the first episode of Naisho no Tsubomi. With a cast that included Nazuka Kaori, Koshimizu Ami, Kanda Akemi, Shiraishi Ryoko (who I am loving in Zettai Karen Children), and Kobayashi Sanae, I figured... | | |
| 2:30pm | Zettai Karen Children - Minamoto baiting ftw! |  | | | The beast within is unleashed!ZKC 9 brings you fanservice goodness galore as Minamoto Kouichi is tormented by the girls who have suddenly grown older. And very much endowed indeed ^^.In his (first of many probably) bid to tease Minamoto, Hyoubu Kyousuke hypnotises him to see the three girls under his... | | |
| 2:05am | Absolutely Lovely Children #10 — Shake ‘em Like a British Nanny! | | | | Thunderbirds are GO GO GO! Impressions: Another awesome episode. Minamoto and his fear yet longing for the adult girls is going to be a great source of humor for many an episode to come, as will Kaoru’s fantasies about the girls in adult form and what they should be wearing. Service, service!... | | |
| 9:48pm | Zettai Karen Children… | | | | I have yet to figure out what I am really liking about Zettai Karen Children (and why I am really watching it). I’ll stick with it for now, but it’s not as zany or as funny as Hayate no Gotoku was or Kyouran Kazoku Nikki is. However, Aoi is made of top-quality AWESOME. | | |
| 4:00pm | Not A June Preview So Much as an Ikki Tousen Preview | | | | Who cares about spring or summer? It’s Ikki Tousen season. Just a quick preview for Ikki Tousen, which starts in a week and there’s one other show in June, so may as well hit that too. I’ll cover all the rest once you know there’s something to cover about them. Ikki Tousen:... | | |
| 3:36pm | Nijuu Mensou no Musume - 07 | | | | In case you were wondering: yes, there indeed was no Nijuu Mensou no Musume last week. The creators sure chose the most annoying time, after episode 6’s huge cliff-hanger. Still, I’m glad that this series is back now, because this episode was really worth it. It wastes no time in developing... | | |
| 2:06am | Absolutely Lovely Children #09 — Za Adulto! | | | | I liked this so much, it gets twice as many caps. Impressions: Oh lord, this episode was the funniest thing I’ve seen since man probably some random Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei episode three months ago or more. I especially loved Kyosuke’s dirty look at his squirrel while it was preening... | | |
| 9:33pm | Hirano Aya -- Riot Girl?? | | | | Hirano Aya's first full album comes out on 16 July, and the name of the album will beRiot Girl.I can't help but compare this with the original Riot Grrrl movement. To quote Wikipedia: "Riot grrrlis an underground feminist punk movement that started in the early 1990s. Riot grrrl bands often address issues... | | |
| 8:39pm | Awaited singles released! - Sadly disappointed | | | | I’ve been waiting for the singles of the OP to Code Geass R2 and the OP and ED to Zettai Karen Children to be released for a while now. Sadly, the OP to both shows are not really all that good, and the shortened versions are actually more superior. I’m not much of a fan of Orange Range... | | |
| 3:06am | Zettai Karen Children - Episode 7 Review | | | | This show continues to grow on me – it’s feeling more and more like a combination of Power Puff Girls and X-Men which is a good thing since I’m a fan of both.Rating – 12/12 Perfect, best episode yetThe Children miss their second day of school to do training which leaves their classmates wondering... | | |
| 11:40pm | Zettai Karen Children ep08: 절대가련 칠드런 8화 | | | | Click pictures to enlarge them. Spoilers ahead so please be cautious. Babel or any ESP related facilities have too many holes in their security. Every episode, "common people" get their hands on latest weapons developed by Babel. They should really do.. 글 전체보기 | | |
| 3:34pm | Absolutely Lovely Children #08 — Darth Squirrel | | | | Making Sith lords with robot animal familiars everywhere proud. Impressions: Somewhere between Kyosuke’s Magneto-esque rantings, the psychic technobabble, and the fact that I’m trying to force my brain to function on a chocolate muffin and two hours of sleep, much of this episode flew... | | |
| 4:30am | I like Zettai Karen Children | | | | The doujinshi are off to a nice start. I’m definitely a fan of the Aoi x Minamoto and Shiho x Minamoto pairings. Keep it up guys. | | |
| 3:26pm | Bandai Entertainment Countdown is Up | | | | So apparently that countdown that was pending? It’s now up on Bandai Entertainment’s splash page, counting down to 5pm PST on May 23rdI think. (That’s the time if the countdown is correct, but before the countdown loaded fully it said “T-2008-05-23 17:00:00 GMT-07:00,”... | | |
