| 2:23pm | Dennou Coil - A Circle of Children - 26 | | | | Ah, thank god. For a minute, I thought that the ending for Dennou Coil would end up rushed, but thankfully the series gets closed with one final powerful climax that nicely finished the series. Obviously, the ending itself doesn’t match up to some of the other series of the spring-season: Bokura... | | |
| 7:03am | November Summary | | | | + November Rankings + My general opinion of the current Autumn-Season is indeed that it isn’t as good as the previous Spring-season. There haven’t really come any epic series yet, like Bokura no, Towards the Terra or Kaze no Shoujo Emily, but instead of that, we’ve got quite a lot... | | |
| 12:16am | Dennou Coil 19-21: see you on the other side | | | | As cliff-hangers go, #18 of Dennou Coil took some beating with poor little Kyouko being dragged away by shadowy Illegals; it’s become something of a supernatural piece in which the cyberbody can be separated from the physical self, and by the end of #21 offers some head-scratchery that led me... | | |
| 10:55pm | Dennou Coil - 25 | | | | Haha! That was some major plot-twist at the end of the episode! I’m not going to say what it is, though. I’ll leave that up to the next and final episode of this series. There’s just so much potential for it! In any case, Mayumi turned out to be a small character in the end, whose... | | |
| 4:13pm | Ghost Hound - 06 | | | | One thing that I’ve been wondering about this series: what’s going to be the point? Will it just feature Tarou and the others exploring their fears, or is there going to be some kind of crisis or issue that will be introduced in the second half of this series? I originally thought that... | | |
| 2:00pm | Autumn season 07: preconceptions and the element of surprise | | | | With a forecast of chilly receptions, widespread mediocrity and a chance of a few scattered moments of greatness across all regions of the anime blogosphere the autumn season looked a little bleak, or so I thought. For sure, there’s been a lot of stuff that passed me by and provoked little more... | | |
| 2:00pm | The Autumn Season, a.k.a. THE ANIME APOCALYPSE | | | | This entry is brought to by the letters A, B and C. A certain Collective of Anime Bloggers who, this time, consist of CCYoshi, J. Valdez, Karura, Martin, Mike, Owen, Roxas and Xerox The fact that we can talk about anime in seasonal blocks underlines what an oddity the... | | |

| 6:14am | School Rumble begins |  | | | So, everyone on the Net goes mad about ef. Meanwhile, in the Region 1 I picked School Rumble by suggestion from Nanobot. He promised “amazing character development involving Karasuma”, and after watching 4 episodes I am pretty certain that cruelly pranked me. Karasuma is a side character... | | |
| 6:08pm | Star Crossed Two-Year Anniversary | | | | Yes, I’m proud to announce that Star Crossed is officially two years old now. Last year, I celebrated it with a new lay-out, though I’m not going to do this this year, as I like the current lay-out too much for that. Instead, some statistics, with the help of Google Analytics. I only installed... | | |
| 8:26pm | The Anime Review #5 | | | | Ghost Hound Eps. 2 - 4 The show took its time in laying out the main cast and their various connections, but by episode four we get a semblance of direction. Visiting the ubiquitous hospital where Tarou has eerie memories of his sister (who varies from conversational and alive to corpsetastic and fly-ridden),... | | |

| 3:22pm | Dennou Coil - A Circle of Children - 24 | | | | Yup, this really is a calm-before-the-storm-episode. The pieces are set in the right spot for the finale, and the characters mourn about the things that happened in the previous episode. Finally, the parents of the different children decide to take away their glasses, because it’s now really... | | |

| 6:19pm | From Xenoglossia to Repeating Themes in Soundtracks | | | | A lot of people didn’t think iDOLM@STER: XENOGLOSSIA was any good. Well, it wasn’t; but looking closer you can see that it’s not consistently bad or mediocre, but a mixed bag. I actually finished (if one can call watching just the first episode and 18-26 “finished”) watching... | | |
