| 10:32pm | Xam’d: Lost Memories 9-14 | | | | The broadcast hiatus held back my appraisal of the series as far as ep 13 but after getting that far I was all settled for one of my usual ‘halfway thoughts’ type of posts. Except episode 14 gave the same effect as the book you can’t put down; the shocking events towards the end also gave... | | |

| 5:50pm | Eureka 7 OST Favourite - Sprinting Spirits | | | | A big thank you to Ivy who pointed me to the Eureka OST. We’re kindred souls in anime music indeed.

Lots of people... | | |
| 10:59pm | Woah, Did I Just TOTALLY Miss Our 1-Year Anniversary? |  | | | FUUKO! CELEBRATE WITH FUUKO! *dances* . ha. I MISSED IT, BIG TIME. ‘Cause, you know, it happened to be right around the time I started yucky public school.

| 7:39pm | So, What’s your Favourite for this Season? | | | | Wow, in a blink of an eye, the Summer of 2008 for anime is ending! This season has been pretty underwhelming, and a major contributor to a very lax anime blogosphere.

| 1:08am | Xam’d 3-8: yes! I am a long way from home | | | | It’s not often you’ll hear me say this but I wish I was an American who owned a PS3.

Fresh off episode 15 of this extremely hard-to-define (for me, anyway) series, I am struck by the notion that this is an episode format that series like Daughter of Twenty Faces need to have a bit more of. Not that what we’ve... | | |
