| 12:17am | Yahagi Sayuri -- Indispensable | | | | When Yahagi Sayuri 矢作紗友里 debuted at 19 as Karin, she knocked me out with her liquid, well-inflected voice.Now she has been a professional seiyuu for four years.

| 1:45pm | Aim for the Top Oneesama! | | | | I finally watched this landmark GAINAX franchise after picking up a (very cheap and almost certainly pirated) DVD box set from Stripey’s favourite R3 DVD shop. Both Top wo Nerae! OVAs have long languished as a ‘classic’ (defined as something everyone knows but very few actually have... | | |

| 12:51pm | Glass Mask Review - 45/100 | | | | The second half of Glass Mask is easy to review: a plot-hole here and there, but nonetheless evolving characters keep your attention till the end that comes way too abrupt. Nonetheless, standalone it remains an enjoyable though somewhat dramatic look at the career of a young theatre actress. So why... | | |
| 3:00pm | Yuri News This Week - July 5, 2008 | | | | This news report is 100% complete as of the time I typed it, but there are still plenty of Industry panels to come at Anime Expo, so expect more updates later on.Yuri AnimeA second Ichigo Mashimaro OVA has been announced, so members of the "Cult of Miu" rejoice!

| 1:22am | stupidity with fansubs: animenext day 2 |  | | | Between generally feeling exhausted from being up since 7:30am to the fact that the subway line that goes to our apartment was shut down for the weekend, thus making us not too excited about taking a roundabout way home at midnight, we went home early. We just ended up spending almost the entire day... | | |

| 8:47pm | Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora Manga, Volume 3 | | | | Short review today because 1) I'm sick (again!) and 2) there's basically not much to say about Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora, Volume 3. I'm pretty much out of ways to make fun of it, sorry. (Imagine this sentence being said in a "calling in sick" voice, with a few coughs for good measure on the end.)Kyoushiro's... | | |
| 5:13pm | Devil May Cry Back on Track, No Word on Gurren Lagann | | | | Let me say straight up from the get-go: I don’t really give a damn about the Devil May Cry anime. I’ve never played the games. I watched the first episode and was amazed at the mediocrity of the visuals for an anime based on such a popular game franchise. (They weren’t bad, but they... | | |
| 6:14pm | Yuri Manga: Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora, Volume 2 | | | | Let's play a game, shall we? I'm going to review Volume 2 of Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora as if Kaon and Himeko were the protagonists. Pretend you don't know they are not. Read it all the way through and then *honestly* commment about the series. Because my guess is, all you Kannazuki no Miko fans would... | | |
