| 10:12pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 1 | | | | I don't know what the opposite of "Zetsubou shita!" is in Japanese, but if I did that's what I'd be shouting at the return of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, even if it's only in three episode OVA form. It's been a while Zetsubou Sensei, but boy am I glad your back.Indeed, never mind simply returning, this... | | |
| 1:22am | Month by month | | | | I did searches at amazon.com and calendars.com for “anime calendar.” The results were pathetic. Between the two sites, 2009 calendars included only Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach and Pokemon, and something called “Domo.” Bleah. Therefore, I paid a visit to YesAsia.com, where I did... | | |
| 11:00pm | SHAFT - Studio Studies Part Three | | | | Now that I’ve covered what I consider the best along with the most influential studio, I have to talk about my personal favorite, SHAFT. SHAFT was formed in 1975, which comes as a surprise to me because besides their first single-handed production in 1987, Yume Kara, Samenai (which I only just... | | |
| 1:23am | Lengthy Anime Titles | | | | The top10 most longest talking about anime titles here! Also, it can’t be the sequel/prequel of anything. No semi-colons, hyphensyou know, title additions. These are the original titles. It makes it more overwhelming when it’s in Japanese I’ve seen only one episode of the #1 winner.... | | |
| 2:52am | Poll results, and a new poll | | | | 28% of the voting visitors to this page would most like to see Denno Coil licensed (my choice, too, but I don’t vote in my polls). Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei came in second with 19%, followed by Potemayo with 14% and, Banner of the Stars III with 10%. The other shows, in order of decreasing votes,... | | |
| 4:25pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - 01 |  | | | OP: “Kūsō Rumba (空想ルンバ)” by Kenji Ohtsuki and Zetsubō Shōjo-tachi - This is the trippiest and most awesome OP I have seen since..Zoku ended. I love you, Shaft. | | |
| 10:35pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #01 — A Proper OVA | | | | Traps, panic, and evolution. Impressions: Honestly I forgot this existed, let alone that it was coming out this week. It was very enjoyable all around, and definitely one of the better Zetsubou Sensei episodes, although it really was a bit think with the KyoAni references, especially given that I... | | |

| 3:21pm | Kemeko Parody & Service: Zetsubou + Clannad |  | | | Minigun wedding anime Kemeko Deluxe seems to have strengthened into a very worthy title in its second episode, and keeps up the comedic service, whilst introducing some parody elements – Clannad and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei are both given appearances. Personally, I can’t help but think the parodies... | | |
| 8:49pm | Kemeko Deluxe! #02 — Sayonara Zetsubou Tamako | | | | Somebody working on Kemeko likes Shaft. Impressions: Ugh. The first minute and a half was completely reused footage, so including the opening, 3 minutes of stuff we’ve seen before (or will see in the episode). It’s the second episode, why would you do that!? Oh wait, nooooooow I see... | | |
| 12:08am | Toradora a fun start, better Kugimin |  | | | Another Kugimiya Rie series can mean only more swooning moments for fans and more facepalms for critics. Yes she has the same voice practically, but as long as a market exists for loli tsunderes and the fans (like myself) exists, then she’ll be around. In Toradora, though, she takes on a deeper,... | | |

| 8:26am | Tuesday Rumble: September 30th | | | | How I became ‘perverted’Maintaining a reputation can be difficult sometimes- one minute you’ve convinced everyone you’re as sweet and innocent as they come, the next you’ve gained a reputation for being a bit of a pervert. The latter isn’t true, of course, but how could such a misunderstanding... | | |
