| 7:48am | Orion on Juuden-chan, Umineko, and others |  | | | Warmed up after the metablogging, he decided to deliver some smackdowns. I understand [Juuden-chan] really pushed the envelope in terms of what you can get away with and still be on broadcast television, what with masochism and urination in every episode. Or so I hear anyway. I couldn’t deal with... | | |
| 4:27am | Taishou Yakyuu Musume: Thoughts So Far |  | | | So, as this current anime season in Japan comes to a close, there have been a large amount of series that I’ve been watching that have been damn enjoyable. The interestingly epic combo (Bakemonogatari with SHAFT x NISIOISIN), the action-packed adventure (CANAAN), the juggernaut from last season (... | | |
| 9:09pm | Miscellaneous anxiety |  | | | As I said on twitter, I feel very anxious right now, and in an attempt to identify the cause of this unrest, I thought I felt the necessity of updating this blog. Maybe it’s that, maybe it’s not. I’m not posting because there have been little updates, but because there’s this... | | |
| 10:39pm | Andy Janes on Aoi Hana |  | | | I may boycott lezbanime even when made by J.C.Staff, but never fear, the animeblogosphere is diverse enough to have all your perversions covered. Here’s a what Andy has to say: Finally got round to watching the last 3 episodes tonight, really wasn’t worth it. The pacing in this show was... | | |
| 8:17am | Aoi Hana (Completed) | | | | This is something a little different from my usual episodic 'blogging, but I figured I'd link to it as it's still a new series that just finished airing in Japan so it seems relevant to the remit of this place. As this season is ramping down, and with it the number of shows I need to watch here is going... | | |
| 3:50am | Sep.16/2009 Anime News: Sasameki Koto Screenshots | | | | - Sasameki Koto Screenshots are up: HERE Go to the very bottom of the page and click on the pictures to enlarge them. It actually looks better than I thought. Though I have to say, after Aoi Hana, it'll be very hard for another Yuri series to impress me.. | | |
| 1:04am | Aoi Hana ep11 Impression (fin) | | | | >> muhootsaver Highly recommends this show. I watched this episode using crunchyroll streaming service. © 2009 志村貴子・太田出版/ い花製作委員会 Above images are from the official homepage: HEREOh man, I ended up jerking out some tears. T__T I can't complain if it en... | | |
| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 4:04pm | Yuri Network News - September 12, 2009 | | | | Lots of Yuri News this week!Yuri AnimeAnimevice reported that He is My Master is going to be showing on Anime Network Online and out on DVD, and Ultraviolet 044 (yes, *that* Ultraviolet - based on the crap movie, and wasting starring the voice talents of Paku Romi) will be getting a US DVD release. If... | | |
| 8:00pm | Aoi Hana – 11 |  | | | Fumi, Achan, and their friends have a Christmas party. Impressions: I thought this episode was great. They are finally getting into some of the more important things it seems. The episode just seemed to b very heavily focused on Fumi and her feelings. While the same could kind of be said about some... | | |
| 2:55pm | Aoi Hana – 10 |  | | | Sugimoto’s sister’s wedding takes place. Impressions: This episode was alright, but until the end it didn’t actually seem like it amounted to much. Sure the wedding is kind of a big event, but it’s really with some characters that didn’t seem to affect Acchan or Fumi. It kind of progresses... | | |
| 8:55pm | Aoi Hana Final Impressions |  | | | While there are many series I love, there aren’t many I’m willing to call a masterpiece. However, I do feel Aoi Hana deserves this title. Hehe What sets Aoi Hana apart is the animation. It truly goes over and beyond the typical water color look that I’m use to from... | | |
| 8:32am | Pandora Hearts - 23 | | | | Do correct me if I’m wrong, but this is he part where the anime seems to be going into original episodes that weren’t based off the manga, right? If that’s the case, then the creators handled it pretty well this time. This episode didn’t try to rush through revelations, or... | | |
| 11:58pm | Sweet Blue Flower: N Things List | | | | Just to posit some questions now that the anime has concluded: 1. The concept of mono no aware applies to yuri in that it is a phase for some people, where a perfect storm of hormones, social pressures, societal organization and adolescence make perfect such unions, despite their flawed and fleeting... | | |
| 11:36pm | Aoi Hana episode 11-Final |  | | | J.C. Staff? Why must you be a tease?Awwso cute. I was really hoping for an AkiraxFumi ending, with a kiss or something. Instead, we got Fumi realizing that Akira was her first love, and leaving it at that. Really, the actual story ended in episode 10, this episode was all about tying up loose ends.... | | |
