| 3:05am | Saki 19 – A difficult illusion |  | | | I had to stare at this several times before realizing that it is actually drawn correctly. A first glance suggest it’s Nodoka’s arm on top but it really isn’t. The right hand sticking out of the sleeve plus the darker skin tone makes it Saki’s arm. I blame Nodoka’s hair,... |
| 1:23am | Branching out to Twitter |  | | | I’m going to be branching out to Twitter for anime thoughts and opinion questions that are simply too short to fit into a blog post. The only other updates you’ll see on my twitter are from weread, so no tweets about everyday life and teenage drama. I invite you to follow me on twitter... |
| 1:14am | Baseball Playing Girls episode 6 |  | | | What an adorable episode!Not taking responsibility--you're not doing it right. There’s not too much for me to say. The episodes are most episodic, with the story wrapped up at the end.This is going to lead the birds and the bees talk I think Akiko’s the most complex character in the show,... |
| 3:57pm | Aoi Hana 5+6 |  | | | It’s like watching an impeding train wreck. Each episode the relationship between Sugimoto and Fumi seems more strained, and they seem closer to breaking up. In this episode, Fumi realized that Sugimoto still has feelings for the teacher. Uh oh Sugimoto dismissed this by saying it was all in the... | | |
| 2:26am | Memory Quilt Patch: Gunslinger Girl |  | | | I was introduced to this show when I picked up these dvds at gamestop on a whim in freshmen year. 13 episodes long, I was fascinated by Gunslinger Girl. I loved the premise of turning the girls into weapons, what that would entitle, and the emotional cost. It really caused me to think deeply and reflect... |
| 12:26am | Why do people like Haruhi? |  | | | A common question often asked of Haruhi, ‘Why is Haruhi so popular?’ After all, the show focuses around this bossy self-centered girl who pretty much gets whatever she wants, even at the cost of other people. That’s not what we’d call a very nice person. So why is it so damn entertaining? ... |
| 5:14am | Endless Eight #8 |  | | | “One tsundere moment can wash away the pain of 600 years”Haruhi was extremely cute in that scene. I guess I’ll have to forgive her. :(And my congratulations to Kyon. Good going.~Crisu |
| 3:05am | Pandora Hearts 16-18 |  | | | These episodes did not include enough Alice. They also illustrated that good transition from one plot to the next makes for a good story that doesn’t leave the viewed going ‘Huh?’. This was accomplished by having one of the worst transitions I’ve ever seen in an anime from point a to point... |
| 2:56pm | Baseball Playing Girls episode 5 |  | | | The uniforms are so cute! I absolutely love them. I also have this cosplay feeling brewing…but I don’t know how I’d pull off their hats. Suggestions anyone? Kohou is so cute! It was also pretty cool seeing her transformation from being unhappy to being happy in this episode. We now have a team... |
| 12:36pm | Sora no Manimani 2+3 |  | | | This is just mildly disturbing Episode 3 actually did make me want to go visit my local planetarium, although I haven’t been there in years. That’s a sign of a pretty powerful anime, when it makes you takes action in the real world. I’m also very impressed by the amount of character development... | | |
| 12:57pm | Hetalia Axis PowersxK-On crossover |  | | | One of my friends was nice enough to link me to this awesome video which featured the characters of Hetalia Axis Power doing the theme song of K-On. Yui=Italy, America=Ritsu, Japan=Mio, and England=Mugi. Even better, most if not all the characters from Hetalia Axis Powers make a cameo somewhere in... | | |
| 7:53pm | CCY-Senpai wa 17sai v. 0.1 |  | | | We all figured lolikitsune’s in-joke adventure, also known as his visual novel, would stir passions, spark controversial discussions, and just plain piss people off. But this material is beyond the Drama Llama’s wildest dreams. Naturally, few people are going to get seriously pissed over... |
| 12:53pm | Baseball Girls Musume 3+4 |  | | | The show seems to have come together very well in the 3rd and 4th episodes, proving to be a lot stronger then when it first started out. I really admire the determination the girls have that makes up for their lack of skill as one problem after enough is placed in front of them. They do hit a roadblock... |
| 2:15am | NEEDLESS 3+4 |  | | | This remains to still be good clean fun. So while we’re still introducing characters, it seems that moving into the story. Which is a tad bit confusing, but as long as we’re still having epic battles, I don’t really care. At this point, one would think the constant battling is getting old,... | | |
| 6:01pm | Aoi Hana episode 3+4 |  | | | Looks like we get some girlxgirl action. To be honest, I don’t really like Fumi’s girlfriend. Something about her bugs me, although what exactly, I can’t tell. Finding out her backstory didn’t really help. So she got her heart broken by a teacher, and then decided to go out with girls? Um…that’s... | | |
