| 7:29pm | Maria Holic episode 4 |  | | | It’s really nice to see this start to move in an actual direction. Especially since we are 1/3 of the way through. It’s actually really hard for me to write about Maria Holic, as almost at the end of every episode I’m pretty much fangirl squealing inside, and just want to write... |
| 7:23am | Clannad Catch-up - Smiles and Tears | | | | Insta-catchup of episodes 11-15 in one sitting in the middle of the night, then 16 earlier today. I had been waiting on widescreen releases all winter break, but being stuck at ep10 while trying to dodge spoilers from the rest of the community was finally too frustrating. So I got myself caught up... | | |
| 11:57pm | Maria Holic episode 3 | | | | The animation in this episode reminded me of a cross between Utena and Veggietales. Wow, I really procrastinated on getting this post up. But in truth, there’s not a whole lot to say about this episode. Is was short and sweet, and kinda a let down. There wasn’t as much artsyness, much... |
| 2:48pm | Hetalia Axis Powers 1 | | | | Due to a lot of drama, and now the episodes are being distributed through Animate and cellphones, the quality sucks. While yes, it’s not really their fault, blah, blah, blah, but wow, it’s really awful. Show itself was fun though. For anyone keeping track of the drama (I may do a post... |
| 3:28am | International Saimoe League 2009 preliminaries | | | | Preliminary rounds for the 2009 International Saimoe League are in progress. After a fairly successful opening year in 2008 with Fate Testarossa taking the crown, the tournament hopes to achieve new heights of voter participation and community recognition in 2009. Major changes include a move to a... |
| 10:40pm | Poking Fun at Engrish Song Titles | | | | A while ago, I was boredly checking out some of the drama CDs and OSTs in the Nanoha franchise, looking for more Nana Mizuki (and other seiyuu) goodness. Then I spot this song called ‘Snow Rain’ by the talented Ueda Kana and my logical non-fangirl side brings my squeeing to a screeching... | | |
| 2:24am | Chrome Shelled Regios 02 | | | | Deadly games of Capture the Flag make for interesting drama, I’m sure, but they’ll never be as interesting as the Engrishy OP song. Layfon meets up with the 17th platoon to tell them he can’t join, but Nina ignores his whining about his part-time job and tests his battle skills.... |
| 7:49pm | Index - 07 - 09 | | | | Shock and awe, I know, but I’m working on catching up on this series. And I’m glad I did, I really liked this pack of three episodes. So let’s take a little look at what’s under the hood. Episode 07 is very much a relief from the action and drama of the previous few episodes. For the most part... | | |
| 9:28pm | Chrome Shelled Regios 01 | | | | THIS IS MOAR LIEK IT! If I only watch one Winter series, I think it might be this one. Maybe. The episode opens with this buggy transport thing containing civilians getting attacked by this flying insect creature monster ugly frickin’ thing that looks like something out of Men in Black. I kid... |
| 4:08pm | Earl and Fairy final impressions | | | | As we wrap up, there’s still one major problem with this Nothing’s really as disheartening, as a series that does well, and then just falls to pieces, which is exactly what Earl and Fairy did around episode 7 or so. It took out a lot of the fantasy and replaced with all this political... |
| 11:44pm | Maria Holic Episode 2 | | | | Artsy haremness seems the best way to sum up this show. I’m actually completely in love with the show at this point. I’m throughly entertained by the antics, and the artsy/mind warpy effects. There were chibis, many different colors schemes, even pages from the manga and all these... |
| 4:12pm | Maria Holic Blues | | | | Well, that’s one more series I won’t be blogging this season, unless someone can point me in the direction of possible subs. Maria Holic has pretty much been yoinked from all legal interwebs, apparently it was being distributed by a network that didn’t really like their stuff online.... |
| 2:15am | Have you ever? | | | | Have you ever read or watched something that by no right you should like as much as you do? Well, I have recently. My library has a bit of an obsession with Shojo Beat manga, and as such, I’ve become a bit of a Shojo Beat manga junkie. Usually they don’t stand out in my mind, they’re... |
| 6:03pm | Funi’s Licensing Spree: What They Got, And What They Seem To Have Missed | | | | Funimation had been seriously hyping up their New Year’s “New Show A-Go-Go” licensing announcement spree. They left clues hidden around their website for us to decipher, and promised a new show announcement every day for 10 days up until New Year’s Eve (starting on 12/22). Turned... | | |
