| 3:40pm | The Weekly Ratings Return… 6 June 2008 (as I forgot the Week Number). | | | | Due to the start of the holidays, I had to miss watching anime for a while and this prevented the weekly rating post from being written. As I caught up on my backlog, I got confused by the numerous series I was following. Like I’ll miss out on episode 6 and start watching 7, only realising halfway... | | |
| 9:17pm | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 09 | | | | Whoa, such a difference from the previous episodes. This episode takes all the focus away from Minamo, Haru and Holon, and instead focuses on Souta and especially his father. As it turns out, he’s a businessman, and he’s the chief of the unit that keeps the metal up and running. Perhaps... | | |
| 5:36am | Summer Season Preview | | | | Well, it’s time to start looking at what the next season has to offer again. The summer-season is again going to be relatively small, but there are quite a number of potential gems in it. There’s also a wide variety of different genres; there’s slice of life, action, adventure, mystery,... | | |
| 1:24pm | Real Drive ¦ RD Sennou Chosashitsu - From the Depths of Confusion | | | | So Real Drive had some gusto concealed beneath its dry and confusing first few episodes after all. For those of you unfamiliar with Real Drive, let me say that it’s a series with a unique and interesting premise, continuing on Production IG’s quest for a niche market in obscurity. Much like Ghost... | | |
| 6:00pm | When the sky turned blue | | | | Gone a bit quiet around here, ain’t it? Last update was a couple of weeks ago, so I figured I’d pop-in a quick “Hello, not dead yet”. The truth is that, since finishing Ghost Hound, I’ve not been watching nearly enough (good) anime, so, aside from a few sarcastic paragraphs,... | | |
| 3:57pm | Spring 2008 Impressions: Serious Business |  | | | I’m quite amused to hear that suspension of disbelief still becomes an issue nowadays. What, you want realism in a medium where oversized eyes are a norm, saving the world is perfunctory, and girls develop mysterious terminal diseases that require a guy (who also conveniently pops out of nowhere)’s... | | |
| 7:55pm | 6 Hours to Utopia! Almost there… | | | | Wow it’s 3 am now, less than 6 hours to my last examination of the academic year. After this, it’ll be a 3 month long non-stop otaku party! With that in mind, it has become an impossible task to motivate myself to hit the books for the last stretch. Unfortunately, this is also the worst/most... | | |
| 6:58am | Impressions: Kaiba – somewhat better than five fingers and a palm | | | | Oh Kaiba… how people will lavish over you. How you will stroke people's brains and make them think about things. How you will bring together people. Okay, so enough of that. When I read one of the first reviews of Kaiba, I'll admit I was a bit skeptical. Call it Curmudgeon's Law. Call it "Cameron... | | |
| 9:07pm | Ghost Hound final thoughts: everyone is connected here too | | | | I’ll admit up-front that I loved Ghost Hound right from the outset, even during those tentative episodes when it wasn’t clear whether there was method in the madness (SE: Lain) or whether it was a monumental misfire in which Konaka and Nakamura lost sight of their goal of entertaining the... | | |
| 9:08pm | xxxHolic - 28 | | | | And this episode is exactly why I fell in love with the first season! This episode features Watanuki and Yuuko, exploring a certain concept again, just like many episodes in the first season did. Now that I’m watching this series raw, I have even more respect to the fansubbers of this series.... | | |
| 3:04am | Spring Season… ka. |  | | | I dunno if it’s just me, but it seems like there is a ridiculous amount of new fansubs this season. So far I’ve got around 10 new shows, but I’ve sampled way more than that. Some are prolly a few weeks back, but let’s try and count them xDKanokon - prolly one of the first subs... | | |
| 8:16pm | Spring’08 Week 3 Progress Chart | | | | On Sundays, we’ll chart the progress of each of the anime series I’m currently following. By progress, I obviously mean how shit or good it is at the moment. Amatsuki - Why have all the science gone to? Lead male, like all Fukuyama Jun characters, attracts lots of women love. Heroes get... | | |
| 5:58pm | The meaning of life, according to Ghost Hound | | | | “There’s a field of thought which postulates that the only reason this universe exists is because we humans do. [] I’m consumed by the thought that this world itself may be nothing but an illusion. That “Snark” in the Abstract World may be my real self, and my physical... | | |
| 5:57pm | Welcome Back, Lovely Hanazawa Kana! | | | | Everyone knows the bestest best seiyuu in the whole wide world, including Mars and Venus, is the delectably cute Hanazawa "Kyoooorrrrr-chan" Kana right? If you were not aware of this fact, do take note right now. Also, if you fucking google her name, MY SITE COMES IN SECOND PLACE. This shows... | | |
