| 10:11pm | Summer Update: Crap! Someone Beat Me 2 It!! (News) | | | | Photo from akibanana.comThe last time I updated this blog was in June? NO! It was in April! I skipped a whole 4 months? Must be because I've been losing hope in my future in the anime industry. =_=;; Here's the truth: For about 3 years I've been planning my life so that I can get a job as a professional... | | |
| 5:55pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #08 — “I AM YOUR FATHER” | | | | Now there’s a lasting image. I’m not late. I’m 2 hours early for the rerun. Impressions: Gee, have I noted Shaft’s massive reuse of footage and cheap techniques this season? Not exactly the strongest episode of the season. We pick up right where we left off last episode,... | | |
| 2:03pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group F – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Maria, Mikuru, Mizore, and Nagisa. Kagamin is gone. Mikuru is in. Maria showing a huge level of support from her fans. And everyone else, as predicted. But yes, there will be a new Saimoe champion this year. Full results after the jump Group F-1 Results:1位 748票 (Maria @ Hayate no Gotoku!!)2位 611票 (Ryuu... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group E – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Mikan, Rika, Francesca, and Minori. 4 for 4, however a bit on the predictable side — just glad to see Rika’s sweet face again, にぱー☆. Looking at the next set of matches, I see former champion Kagamin and main Clannad heroine Nagisa. It’ll be interesting to see how they’ll... | | |
| 2:04pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group E – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Yami, Shimako, Tomoyo, and Miyuki. Congrats to Tomoyo, even with the low voter turnout. Though I’m a bit saddened by Shiki’s loss. Anyway I’m looking at the next set of matches, and I notice Yui there in what has to be an easy win for her, right? If not I’ll be at a... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group D – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Elen, Amu, Koromo, and Hanyuu. Hurray for Hanyuu! What an impressive early show of support for her campaign. And Koromo managed to pull ahead of Izumi by just a measly two votes. (A major sigh of relief there.) Well believe it or not, K-ON is now 0-3 in this main tournament. Full results after... | | |
| 6:12pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 6 | | | | I'm sure we've all been told how it's better to catch measles when you're a child rather than face it when you're an adult, but in the world of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei that apparently isn't the only "disease" which you should prefer to face in your youth So begins episode six of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group D – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Karin, Alicia, Erica, and Mizuki. Due to all the Comiket releases and excitement over the weekend, I almost forgot to vote. Well today’s results may not seem all that surprising. But seeing Mari come in dead last in her group was disappointing. Don’t know why I thought the results... | | |
| 11:53pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #07 — Dammit, Horie | | | | She’s bloody everywhere this season. Impressions: The first part was kind of odd; simultaneously mundane as well as increasingly bizarre. It started out being just about getting nailed with unexpected extra costs (like having to buy ice after buying meat from Horie Yui, or ink for a printer),... | | |
| 3:31am | Bakemonogatari #1-5 – Vampires, Heavy Crabs and Snails. | | | | People are always divided on shows. I guess it’s just human nature, we all have different opinions. Bakemonogatari seems to have copped a little flak lately but fair enough. It’s odd. The long periods of pan shots in some places could be annoying. The pages and pages of text that are shown... | | |
| 3:32am | Tomonori Kogawa's Cool Cool Bye | | | | A lot of OVAs were produced in the 1980s, most of which have been forgotten today, usually for the best. Some have been forgotten undeservedly. Cool Cool Bye (1986) is one of the ones that's been undeservedly forgotten. Not only does Cool Cool Bye boast one of the most awesome titles ever, it also... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group C – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Mio, Kyon no imouto, Konoka, and Momoko. Another K-ON character is eliminated. Another Saki character advances. Saimoe now takes a break for 4 days. Full results after the jump Group C-3 Results:1位 488票 (Sakam oto Mio @ Strike Witches)2位 379票 (Yoshi no @ Minami-ke Okaeri)3位 190票 (Asakaz... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group C – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Louise, Tsuruya-san, Kyou, and Kotomi. No surprises here. For the next match, I was tied between Mugi and Becky, but I think I’ll go with Mugi just because she doesn’t get enough love as the others from K-ON. Full results after the jump Group C-2 Results:1位 413票 (Louis... | | |
| 9:42pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 5 | | | | If episode four of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was ever so slightly off the show's usual comic pacing, then thank goodness for episode five, which once again had me struggling to breathe with laughter at times.First up on the agenda is the issue of "back-scratching" as Nozomu calls it, or otherwise... | | |
