| 5:14am | Fall 2009 |  | | | So I heard you like sequels Most of this information comes from the chart at Denizen’s blog, as well as MAL and ANN. I’m excited because we’ll have three people blogging again, which means more series covered by SS!AB. I might cut my load to 3 new series (depending on episode counts),... | | |
| 10:58pm | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Taishou Yakyuu Musume | | | | Samurais make good baseball players.The first time I became aware of the existence of this show was from a trailer I saw back during the winter season. Something about the show instantly made me want to watch it and as a result I was disappointed when I found out that I’d have to wait till the summer... | | |
| 6:14am | Manabi Straight, a visual retrospective |  | | | I finally rewatched Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight, years down the road. A small concern appeared recently that Manabi’s magic was not there anymore, but it turned out to be unfounded. “POWERFUL x HAPPY”, “JUST AN SCHOOL GIRLS WITH HAPPY DAYS COME UP SMILING IN EVERYDAY LIFE”:... | | |
| 8:14pm | Zyl on Manabi’s fat head | | | | Due to some circumstances, I have set on rewatching Manabi Straight at last, this time from the comfort of a couch. And coincidentially, Zyl remarked today: Manabi Straight: It sounds like so much fun but I’m just defeated by the whole fat loli thing. I’m happy to report that the fat heads get... | | |
| 12:56am | Marketing Otaku Anime | | | | An alternative take at the eternal struggle of copywriting (read the comments there!) anime for an American audience–the shoppers of America’s big-box heartland–is that it really doesn’t matter. At least not in the way fans think of it. Let’s take a well-known import of... | | |
| 5:40am | Good Smile Amamiya Manami - Massugu GO! | | | | Flickr Link Sometimes I miss out on the first release of figures, then what happens? I cry and cry and cry and wish I hadn’t missed out on that figure. I beg people who have that figure to sell it to me. I didn’t bother getting Manami since when she was released back in ‘07 i was still... | | |
| 12:34am | SDS on advertising | | | | Ogiue Maniax: Is it all right to, in some sense, trick people into reading your book or watching your show? Is it simply a case that if you told most people that Saiunkoku was like, political shoujo, that it would turn most people away? Apropos that, a few bloggers I know admitted that they picked Divergence... | | |
| 5:12am | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – K-ON! | | | | I know just about everyone else in the anime blogosphere has already talked about KyoAni’s latest – K-ON!; it’s even gotten Jeff Lawson (still one of my favorite bloggers) to comment on it. Therefore, I probably can’t contribute anything groundbreaking to the discussion – I’ve never been... | | |
| 1:23am | First impressions: Asura Cryin’, K-on! and Tsubasa Shunraiki | | | | K-on! feels to me like a mish mash of things I’ve watched before. The characters remind me of Lucky star, the setting reminds me of Manabi straight, and the awesome singing at the end reminds me of Haruhi (speaking of which, is there anyone who HASN’T heard of how the new season is going... | | |
| 8:21pm | K-On! episode 1 review; An overload of sweet, Moelicious goodness! | | | | I thought I’d leave this series alone considering how many bloggers are currently covering it. But, K-On! has just too much sticky sweet cuteness to let it go, I’m drawn to A-On K-On! like a moth to a flame. This episode begins with us following a young, cute, schoolgirl... | | |
| 12:49am | K-ON! - 01 |  | | | OP: “Cagayake! GIRLS” by Aki Toyosaki with Yoko Hikasa, Satomi Satou and Minako Kotobuki – Huh..cute high school girls and a really bad, yet slightly catchy song by the voice actresses. Where have I seen this formula before? Summary: On the first day of high school, Hirasawa Yui... | | |
| 11:58am | Spring 2009 Season Preview | | | | Looking back at the previous season previews I done, Spring season always brings around my all time favourite shows for the year and I can only hope that still is the case. Just like other years, there certainly is a lot to choose from with over 40 series premiering (including all the kids shows etc).... | | |
| 7:35am | Tokyo Figure Show |  | | | image ID#25261Got a load of un-reviewed figures piling up so I thought I'd stick a load in a single post - do let me know if you prefer a single review per figure though. Taking these photos this morning inspired me with an idea. Already gaining experience organizing events like Tokyo CGM Night (still... | | |
| 2:51pm | TBE’s Mega Spring Anime Preview 2009 |  | | | A tad late for this but is better than never, March is here and what are our own picks of the anime in Spring. A quick breakdown on the list and I realized that there a couple of interesting animes out there. Lets see what we have in our mega spring anime preview. Titles are arranged randomly. Navigation... | | |
| 11:55pm | emphatic fight - one last call to arms, for fans of ef | | | | I think, if you’ve seen my posts over the last week or two, you know where this is going. So do I. And I ask you, with no regrets: http://www.internationalsaimoe .com/voting/ Vote Yuuko. And if you’re not convinced, read to the end of this post. It’s not even 800 words. It’s... | | |
