| 6:43pm | Free skikes, and endless land | | | | The problem with writing an anime blog for any length of time is that I’m prone to repeating myself. I’ve had this ache to write about something, anything, over the last month or so, but there are only so many times I can say “this is good, that is bad” without feeling as though... | | |

| 10:03am | The Daily Dose |  | | | The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun anime was announced in a flyer and an onscreen image at the end of the final episode of To Aru Majutsu no Index. I'm sure Omni will talk about it more when he writes that up.The trailer for Kōkyō Shihen Eureka Seven: Pocket ga Niji de Ippai has been posted on its... | | |
| 12:48pm | Eureka SeveN Movie Trailer | | | | It’s out, and it looks awesome. It makes me want to see the movie even more now, even if they are reusing footage from the TV series to save time and money. The TV series was already very well animated so there won’t be much of a disparity, and I get the feeling that unless you’ve... | | |
| 11:45pm | Eureka Seven: Seven Swell? More Like Seven Crescendo | | | | I'm pretty sure that's not ROY G. BIV order, but that's okay. Alas, “Seven Crescendo” is not quite as delightfully alliterative, and anyway the Seven Swell Effect isn’t much of a crescendo, even though Eureka Seven is. Upon my seemingly never-ending plate of “series... | | |
| 12:54am | Linall’s Top Ten Animes | | | | Holy shit this post is overdue. And I’m going to delay it longer by wishing Lumi a happy birthday before I start. See Lumi was the first one to suggest that we all do Top Ten lists, so I thought it would be appropriate to post this on her birthday. Because I totally knew when her birthday was... | | |

The films are different in style, approach and content, but they represent a snapshot of the current... | | |
| 2:23pm | No, Anime is NOT Creative. | | | | In response to a recent blog post I chanced across on animenano, I’ve felt compelled to respond with a post of my own. Saturnine says all the good blogs link to each other in posts, so I shall do some linking because that makes me a good blogger right? The post I shall address is by some small... | | |
| 7:42pm | Xam’d is Over, Sobz. Spoilers. | | | | Generally, I measure how great a show is not by logic, but by how many times I weep and repeat the words "Shit this is fucking awesome" in the midst or after the ending of the show. In the case of Eureka Seven, I teared 56.24 mililitres and said "Shit this is fucking awesome" 61325... | | |
| 9:55pm | A rare find, Megahouse Anemone | | | | Released in 2005, Megahouses Anemone was a figure I’ve always wanted yet could never get my hands on. Ever since I saw Eureka Seven I wanted figures of the three main girls, I got Talho and Eureka but Anemone was so very hard to track down. She’s been top of my list of figures to look for,... | | |
| 4:06pm | Make Way for the New with Super Robot Wars K AND GODANNAR SERIOUSLY WHOA | | | | Super Robot War K has been announced for the Nintendo DS, and the lineup consists almost entirely of shows that have aired in recent years. While it’s kind of sad to not see some of the old guard there, it’s also a big deal that they would include shows like Koutetsushin Jeeg, Gaiking:... | | |
| 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... | | |

Of course, not without some over-thinking on anime!So, on the 26th or so I finished Eureka Seven. In the excitement, I held off a couple days on any watching. Funeral finally moved in on the 28th. We already had plans... | | |
| 3:12pm | December 2008 Stats | | | | December was definitely the best month of 2008, with the highest number of visitor and also breaking 100k monthly unique visitor mark. December was a good month for me because I gotten the first year-end bonus of my working life and it felt really good to be rewarded with almost 2 months worth of pay.... | | |
| 4:24am | The 2008 Best Themes Post | | | | I am totally stealing from CCY and cuchlann, and doubtless countless others, to bring you this post, a window into the mysterious workings of musical things in my mind. Expect it to make even less sense than usual! Opening and ending themes and sequences oftentimes hold a special place in my heart,... | | |
