| 3:59pm | ef - a tale of brilliant anime wasted on the masses |  | | | ef - a tale of memories could very well be- no, it is the Lucky Star of Autumn. It’s easy to bash for reasons like “random visual crap”, “distracting”, “confusing”, and equally as easy to hate for the very same reasons, which are, by some coincidental measure,... | | |
| 10:14pm | The Watchings of Yesterday - 07/10/21 |  | | | Well yesterday, I did something incredibly stupid. I started another series, and after one episode, realized it could be quite tough to finish. Maybe I should have given Bokura no another episode, but I just didn’t feel up to it. I have got to stop starting new stuff like that. The giant robot... | | |
| 9:25pm | New season! (Genshiken 2! Ghost Hound!) | | | | So, as a new anime season rolls in, these are the shows that I have picked up (so far).Genshiken II: This was a given. I've been excited about this show ever since I learned that there was, in fact, going to be a second season. Somehow, I love this story so much that, although... | | |
| 5:37pm | Juxtaposing Bokurano and Claymore: The point of adaptations |  | | | What I mean by “the point of adaptations” isn’t “the point where adaptations start sucking”, but more of like “what is the point of adaptations?” After all, regardless of how good or bad an adaptation will be, you’ll always have the grassroots insisting... | | |
| 6:56am | Fall Season III |  | | | Let’s see around 10 new shows added to my list I suppose that’s fair xD Hmm let’s start with the ones I’ve decided not to follow: Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun: Too much fanservice. Plus it’s a bit embarrassing when your mom is sitting right beside you while you’re... | | |
| 9:35pm | Bokurano - 24 - End |  | | | Final Impressions - Series Review It’s finally over and when it’s all said and done Bokurano was the most unique of the Spring Anime 2007 lineup. Bokurano was much more than a typical mecha anime. It was even much more than a non-typical mecha anime, even if that’s possible. When you experienced... | | |

| 11:44pm | Bokurano: final thoughts | | | | So, Bokurano finally reaches its conclusion. It’s disappointing to see so few of us have followed this show to the end after all that controversy, because all things considered the ending isn’t too bad at all. Hopefully these musings will help you see the show in a better light, or at least... | | |
| 10:41pm | Bokurano 21 and 22 | | | | And so, we lose one who is possibly one of my favourite characters in the show. His family issues are brought to a head and after a period of ‘they can all just die’ syndrome, he finds it in himself to fight for her sake - or rather, which is more telling, fighting so she can continue her... | | |
| 2:20am | Dragged kicking and screaming to 2.3 | | | | If there’s one thing that derails a two-week daily blogging frenzy, it’s cross-browser CSS bugs. The reason why it’s taken so long for my WP 2.3 upgrade, apart from the lengthy persuasion that stemmed from a dialogue with Owen over the virtues of tags over nested category lists, is... | | |
| 3:59pm | Big Dreams Little Tokyo: Inside wants out |  | | | Much like my fellow bloggers, I was given the privilege not too long ago of reviewing Dave Boyle’s to be released movie, Big Dreams Little Tokyo. Much unlike my fellow bloggers, this review is late for a variety of reasons, all too embarrassing to mention here. I digress. To say that BDLT is... | | |
| 2:30pm | I thought these were called sandals. |  | | | EDIT BY MIKE (3:12 PM): This post was falsely accused of having been stolen by Animenano by our AntiLeech plugin. The plugin has been ‘uninstalled’ (Bokurano music starting). Sorry, Animenano readers. :) From Anime Corporation News - Viz Media, T.U.K. to Offer Bleach Footwear Viz Media announced... | | |

| 8:46am | Suteki Tantei Labyrinth - 02 | | | | To give a quick rundown on why I’m not blogging the other series so far (emphasis on quick): - Bamboo Blade is fun but the black-haired girl is annoying. - Sketchbook had a boring second episode, so I dropped it. - Nougami Neuro’s mystery is so shallow that it can’t even fully... | | |
| 3:26pm | Recent viewing | | | | Just a memo of a few things that caught my eye in recent viewing. Starting from the most recent, Gonzo's new show Dragonaut is directed by Studio Torapezoid member Manabu Ono, so I was somewhat curious about it. The chief animation director is Tadashi Sakazaki, whom I remember for the boat chase in... | | |
