| 2:42pm | Cross Game - 24 | | | | I’d like again to hijack this post for a bit to post up some impressions of the past half year of anime. Now that most of the series of the past Spring and Summer Season are about to end, it’s time to reflect on them again, and how they matched up to previous years. My general impression... | | |
| 11:18pm | Summer '09 Previews | | | | With several shows that I enjoy carrying on from spring; add 14 new ones, plus Haruhi new episodes, Zetsubou Sensei 3rd and Ookami 2nd season; this summer looks very promising! The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this... | | |

| 9:53pm | Senjou no Valkyria - The Chronicles of Awesome | | | | Valkyria Chronicles looks and feels pretty damn nice. That’s pretty much all I feel like saying and thus ending the post here, but at least for the time being I try to avoid turning this blog into a one man’s /a/. But let’s see here: Cute girls - check. Soldiers - check. Cute soldier... | | |
| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |
| 8:20pm | Never Fear ~ クリス is Here! | | | | Hello thar! It’s been a while I know. I spent a couple weeks in Tokyo last month and have since been finding ways to raise some cash in hopes of returning for a bit in March. I still haven’t found a full time job yet, so you can imagine things have been a bit of a pain in the ass. Tokyo... | | |
| 6:36pm | Impressions: A slightly less oversimplified view of Allison and Lillia | | | | So Author pointed out, my past impressions post contained a vague description of why I liked Allison and Lillia. It could be I don't have any taste, but I'm going to try to provide a better review of the series. In brief, the show is divided roughly in half between four main characters. Allison and... | | |
| 4:41am | Cameron on Allison and Lillia |  | | | Awakened from his eternal slumber by Coburn, he dumped almost a momotatesque summary on us. It included a surprisingly positive bit about Allison and Lillia: I had a lot of misgivings about this show after the first episode. Hell, I had a lot of misgivings about this show after the first arc. But as... | | |
| 12:29am | Impressions: NANA, Honey and Clover, Tytania and a lot of other ones | | | | So I haven't been around, but I've still been watching a bunch of stuff. I don't know if I'll hit it all here, but I'm going to try to get the highlights. NANA: So I started watching this show because of Paradise Kiss. I still think ParaKiss is an amazing show, despite leaving the side characters in... | | |

| 8:25pm | Mushi-Mushi?!? ~ Yeah I’m Still here… | | | | Hey all. Sorry for the long wait between entries. Despite my lack of employment the last month has proved to be rather busy for me, between drama, family stuff, side work, and looking for new work. Anyway, it’s that time of year again, Christmas. Can’t say I’m a huge holiday fan, but... | | |
| 10:49pm | Allison to Lillia: the end of the line at last | | | | It’s with no small amount of relief that I’ve completed the epic disappointment that was Allison to Lillia. I feel as though the characters are now put out of their misery: when they are so lively and engaging it feels like an act of cruelty to even watch them go through such an embarrassment... | | |
