| 12:24am | Hyakko 01 |  | | | Not as crazy as I expected, but a decent start, especially once Torako (the main character) got introduced. Ayumi, a freshman at Kamizono High School, gets lost on the way to her class, and wanders around until she finds another freshman, Iizuka. After realizing that non-newbie Iizuka doesn’t... | | |
| 12:12am | Linebarrels of Iron 01 |  | | | Not bad, Gonzo. Compared to Dragonaut, this is absolutely great. The episode opens in 2019 (they skipped most of the manga-canon flashback) with the protagonist Kouichi attending school and getting bullied. Yes, he’s one of those wussy guys who wants to be a hero. This is completely different... | | |
| 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,... | | |
| 2:23pm | Antique Bakery wrap up AKA rocks fall, everyone dies, disney style |  | | | So Antique Bakery is now over. And now to be blunt and honest, the ending sucked. Except, you know, the ending. So what went wrong? To be honest, I have felt that Antique Bakery has gone downhill since episode 5, with the stories becoming poorly executed and just coming across as lame. Chikage’s... | | |
| 2:30am | Crystal Blaze Review |  | | | What, an anime review? On this blog? It’s more likely than you think. Episode 12 was finally subbed and put on the Internet, after basically a three month drought. The ending, like the rest of the series, was decent. Let’s take a look at what makes this series tick Crystal Blaze... | | |
| 1:08am | Cosplay impressions of AWA 14 |  | | | CJ has the news from the con while I post pictures of cosplay. Again, I was happy to be part of a cosplay group from my anime club this weekend, so I wasn’t bored all the time. Also being in pictures means I don’t have as much time to take them all day. So there are fewer, but my album... | | |
| 12:21am | Anime Weekend Atlanta Wrap-Up |  | | | I wasn’t planning on going over everything that happened at AWA, especially since I wasn’t even there. (Crisu was though!) But since tons of very relevant tidbits happened there, I might as well summarize them here. First of all, Funimation indirectly confirmed that yes, the release date-less... | | |
| 2:40am | Touching on AWA 2008 |  | | | Well I totally missed the announcement about Toonami until CJ posted something. And I was here ^^;; Not that I’m big on panels. I seem to go to cons solely for the photography and the dealer’s room. With the money I pay for admission, I ought to be going to panels and writing down important... | | |
| 10:59pm | Woah, Did I Just TOTALLY Miss Our 1-Year Anniversary? |  | | | FUUKO! CELEBRATE WITH FUUKO! *dances* . ha. I MISSED IT, BIG TIME. ‘Cause, you know, it happened to be right around the time I started yucky public school. Yes, it has been somewhere around 396 days since Borderline Hikikomori had its first post (the domain was claimed in March 2007, but it sat... | | |
| 10:14pm | Cartoon Network’s Toonami Block Allegedly Ending Tonight |  | | | According to ANN, Cartoon Network’s ‘Toonami’ block will reportedly cease to exist tonight after 11 years of existence. It was revealed at Anime Weekend Atlanta this morning that a special announcement regarding the cancellation will appear on CN during the 10:30-11 pm EST timeslot.... | | |
| 12:53am | Simon and Nia (FMA ending parody) |  | | | This is awesome. Simon and Nia FMA ending parody, I admittly have never watched FMA, but I still found this really cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =1szjLGaj840 Sorry for really short post, I have to do homework. And yes, almost all of my post are TTGL related it seems. Sorry to anyone not into... |
| 1:23am | Exploring Peach-Pitt |  | | | Mein Gott! What happened to me? Matsuricon, a very bad cold, and a couple tests this week put me out of commisson. School is a beast this year, so I think we’re just going to be getting impression posts from me for now. Anyway, I am also terribly behind in Antique Bakery, with FOUR episodes... | | |
| 7:18pm | Attempting a lecture on mahou shoujo |  | | | Take your average anime club in America. It probably has a lot of mainstream fans — people who watch DBZ, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop Well you’ll mostly get a lot of shounen fans. Said shounen fans probably won’t take magical girl series very seriously. Or they’ll approach it... | | |
| 10:30pm | Fall 2008 Anime Preview |  | | | School has started for some of us, and that means fall’s right around the corner~~! Fall 2008 has a bunch of new anime (no definite number yet, since some series’ airdates are still up in the air) and there’s much debate over which anime will prove to be hits. Janette wants mecha,... | | |
