| 6:00pm | Bad Writing vs Bad Translation | | | | The Eureka Seven manga was released by Bandai Entertainment alongside their anime release. For those of you who haven’t read the manga but have seen the anime, it’s a different take on things with I think less solid storytelling but still has its good points. However, the dialogue in the... | | |

| 1:25am | Zaregoto, Eureka Seven, and the GLB | | | | Sakura media had a sale, so I picked up a novel, a manga, and a mook.

| 3:05am | Dis Content | | | | Instead of making new content, I decided to rearrange old content. Spring inspires a change. The last two themes I had used paper texture and grunge style, so decided to go with no texture and minimal decoration. Load time should be a lot better, if my host server is running well.

It was “ok” for a generic guy-lives-with-a-lot-of-girls- whose-parents-are-conviniently -away-on-a-trip kinda anime.
