| 9:57am | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Review - 92,5/100 | | | | One thing I love about watching anime is that sometimes, there are these series that come from absolutely nowhere and blow you away. Tokyo Magnitude is one of those series. It’s based on a “what-if” scenario: what if modern-day Tokyo were to be hit by a massive earthquake? This... | | |
| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 4:15am | What I wouldn’t do to see Kyoani go under instead of GONZO | | | | I’d rather rewatch Vandread again than even try rewatching Lucky Star. Gonzo really doesn’t deserve to go under. Sure they might have released a few shit shows and such, but during their prime they released some great stuff, and there is always that potential to release something great... | | |
| 12:57pm | The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Second Season Review - 77,5/100 | | | | Well, so that’s it for this season.

| 10:57pm | 07 Ghost - Episode Twenty Two |  | | | This episode of 07 Ghost starts off with Bishop Lance deciding weather or not bishop candidate’s pass or fail the bishop exam/test.

| 12:16am | I really want to buy a geeta now! | | | | With all these pretty girls, you’d think there would be a guy in the Light Music club. I finally finished up K-On after trying to finish it a few times but then dropping it due to time and/or losing interest. I think it was a really straight forward show. It was far from being a disappointment... | | |

| 9:46am | 20th Century Boys Live Action I and II |  | | | I finally took time to watch the live action 20th Century Boys movies. Man, those movies really are damn long, clocking at 2 hours plus each. So well. How were they? Pretty good actually considering the amount of source material they had to work with. I’ve already finished reading the whole manga... | | |

The different approaches to animated filmmaking learned at each respective studio consequently provide the foundation for these directors. Some started out at Toei Doga but... | | |
| 2:22pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - The Cipher | | | | Hell yeah! I’ve been waiting for this for more than four months, but Birdy the Mighty Decode’s OVA is finally here. While it’s not exactly what I expected it to be, I don’t care. It’s always awesome to see more of your favourite series of the year. So yeah, basically... | | |
