| 5:49am | Battle Programmer Shirase Episode 1 | | | | Mitchi here, and I'm back! It's been a while since I reviewed for this blog back when I did Bokurano, but I'm back with another random, obscure anime to add to your radars: Battle Programmer Shirase! "I'll give you a piece of advice: Don't piss him off. The moment you do, your bank accounts will... | | |
| 12:00am | I don’t mind mindscrews, I really don’t; so just tighten it, deeper! | | | | [SPOILERS WARNING: For Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (up to episode 08), and Bakemonogatari (up to episode 05)] Yeah I enjoyed The End of Evangelion, I even enjoyed the end of the TV series. I enjoyed Perfect Blue and Paprika. I enjoyed Akira, and enjoyed reading Bokurano. I don’t mind being messed with,... | | |
| 12:00am | Unwelcome to the NHK: Light Novel is So Heavy | | | | I just finished reading Welcome to the NHK. It is not a pleasant book. I’m not writing a review, so don’t expect a recommendation either way. Why not? It’s partly because NHK is a deeply personal story. It’s not an autobiography in the strict sense, but the preface, and the... | | |
| 12:00am | Missing: My Moral Compass (Bokurano took it away; I suspect the Dung-Beetle) | | | | I read all of Bokurano in under 18 hours on and off. This is a superlative kind of pain. I realize that I sometimes consume media precisely for this kind of experience. I like how fiction can hurt me this way, and Bokurano hurts. One way to describe the narrative is cruel, in a crafted work this could... | | |
| 7:11pm | Bokura no Garadoubla | | | | One of the most amazing and shocking reveals in the world of giant robot villainy was the discovery that Mazinger Z’s infamous first two adversaries, Garada K7 and Doublas M2, were actually once a single sentient entity known as Garadoubla. Garadoubla turns out to be a heroic figure to the Mycenae... | | |
| 3:50pm | Argento Soma Review - 80/100 | | | | Argento Soma is one of the post-Evangelion series. Like series as Betterman, Reideen and Dai Guard, and even awesome series as Figure 17 and Bokura no, it features a series of smart and very hard to destroy monsters that need to be destroyed, and the lead characters have some sort of huge mecha that... | | |
| 3:00pm | What if Bokurano were in SRW? | | | | Bokurano is a manga by Kitoh Mohiro, creator of Shadow Star: Narutaru. The centerpiece of Bokurano is a large robot called Zearth, and so one technically is able to call it a giant robot manga, though as you might expect from the man who created Narutaru there are some serious twists. When it was adapted... | | |

| 1:37pm | Shangri-La - 13 | | | | Oh my god. I’m not sure who exactly was responsible for the dogfights in this episode, but I have to say, that these were the most visually pleasing scenes that I have seen this season. Yes, that includes Guin Saga and Eden of the East; it was THAT good. With this episode, Gonzo has really shown... | | |
| 1:07am | Viz Media Launches IKKI, New On-Line Manga Magazine | | | | Oh! Look!! Viz is launching an on-line manga magazine!

| 1:03am | Japan Jury Duty |  | | | There has been demonstrations going on due to the introduction of Jury Duty in Japan this July where citizens will be called upon to decide the fate of the prosecuted. Folks who don't have a good reason not to attend when called upon will face fines up to 100,000 yen. Folks who are found to be giving... | | |
| 8:41pm | Tsubasa Shunraiki - 02 | | | | Okay, so I don’t know why I’m still blogging this show, even though I’m SO not the target audience. I really am a terrible manga reader: as an example, I’ve tried for a year now to get through the Bokura no, and even though it’s one very big heap of awesomeness, I’m... | | |
| 9:15pm | Sanpei Yuuko -- shounen shoujo | | | | I first heard of Sanpei Yuuko 三瓶由布子 as Koshimizu Ami's girlfriend. She and Ami even had a mock wedding reception on the radio.But she is a lot more than just a "yuri seiyuu." She, like her friend Ami, is one of the top young talents working today. Her work as Nakiami in Bounen no Xamdo is strong... | | |
| 5:35pm | 2008 Was So-So | | | | In terms of the anime year, the anime released for 2008 was subpar. It does not compare to the ever excellent 2007, simply one year ago! As per usual, Anime-Source is planning the end of the year survey. I’ve been brainstorming on what I might select, but from all possible titles, he “best”... | | |
