| 9:35pm | Memory Quilt: Antique Bakery |  | | | There’s not too much for me to say about this one, actually. Antique Bakery, a show I watched and followed on this blog last summer. It was an alright slice of life with a great first half and lousy second half. However, Antique Bakery had a very good opening and ending theme, with entertaining... | | |
| 9:20pm | Ristorante Paradiso - 08 | | | | Okay, so now that this show is nearly at its end (three episodes left), we’re finally able to see whether it used its time well or not, and whether the series composition knew what it was doing.

I really wonder what’s going on at the time-slot when this show isn’t broadcast, and where... | | |
| 11:06am | Final Thoughts: Antique Bakery | | | | When Keiichirou Tachibana chucks in a well paid job to become the proprietor of a patisserie, it seems an unlikely move for a man who doesn’t even like sweets that much.

| 10:43pm | Higashi no Eden -- Godly Voices and Animation | | | | I've been eagerly awaiting the first episode of Higashi no Eden, which aired in Japan a few hours ago.It did not disappoint.First, for me, is the godly voice work of Hayami Saori.

| 9:04pm | Spring 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Spring of last year brought about some awesome (and notorious) series, and this year’s lineup looks just as epic. Still a ton of crappy porno adaptations, but loads of new or manga-based franchises to wow us. Due to time constraints (also known as REAL LIFE DESU) we may not be blogging as many... | | |
