| 8:01pm | UFO Valkyrie fails |  | | | I continue to burn through shows at an alarming rate. This time it’s UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie (aka UFO Princess Valkyrie) that gets tossed into the reject pile after 4 episodes. Two principal things peeved me the most about it: First, damage to others: The comic property damage is an enshrined... | | |
| 10:43pm | Yumeria (Dreamworld) |  | | | I hoped to see another Magikano and somewhat surprisingly, the art was similar. I even rushed to check the production studio For Yumeria it’s DEEN, but for Magikano it’s impossible to determine. However, “similar” does not mean “same”. I don’t even have a single... | | |
| 9:27pm | A Celebration of Mahou Shoujo | | | | Now as someone who has read my Twitter will know – the webpage for the Nanoha movie has recently been launched! Now for those of you grumbling that StrikerS was a pile of old codswallop, let me tell you this – it’s the original loli-riffic models ^^. The premise is that the story is set between... | | |
| 6:43am | Nagasarete Airantou 01 |  | | | I clenched my teeth to complete the episode. Did I just say that animation in Tayutama was sketchy? Now I’m sorry about it. This is sketchy. But a bigger issue is the stupidity of the protagonist. SDB mentioned recently somewhere (possibly in someone’s else comments and in a different context)... | | |
| 4:25am | Macademy Wasshoi! #07 — Behold Metallis’ Majesty! | | | | BEHOLD IT, I SAY. Impressions: Another pretty fun episode, although I thought that the ending was pretty predictible since Eneus mysteriously vanished through the entire race and you can’t change the status quo halfway into a series. I’m also not a huge fan of what appear to be the big... | | |
| 3:38am | Magikano ends |  | | | As was predicted by many, the ending sucked balls. But I was ready to it because it was certain from the beginning that Yuri wasn’t getting any action, and also because the number of useable screenshots per episode was crashing ever since the swimsuit episode. The best screen from the last DVD... | | |
| 11:34am | Disgrace upon the tanukis of Hontou Ni-Land | | | | Shame on me for not diving into Seto no Hanayome earlier. While it enjoyed some buzz at the time of its airing, I brushed it aside since I preferred my bishoujos with legs. Oh the near-tragedy of almost missing the greatest comedy since Magikano! Yes, I have to thank comrade-in-anime Zyl for taking... | | |
| 6:07pm | Seto no Hanayome Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Seto no Hanayome: Gonzo’s attempt at comedy, and what a fine attempt it is. It’s very much the spiritual successor of Magikano: both series share directors, both feature cute girls and both managed to take an incredibly clichéd premise and turned it into something worthwhile. Seto no... | | |
| 3:14am | Magikano begins |  | | | This is the second time when I watch a series because of the top rotation at Chizumatic. The first was Cosplay Complex, and what a disaster it was. I thought the lesson well taken, but one picture was just irresistible. I still consider Megumi of Muteki Kanban Musume the most beautiful character design... | | |
| 5:54pm | DNA² Review - 81/100 | | | | There aren’t many shounen romantic comedies that I’ve actually liked. Most of them end up dull, stereotypical, clichéd, uninspired, too much focused on moe, et cetera, et cetera. Though once in a while, one comes along that’s actually worth it. Examples of this are Magikano, Umisho... | | |
| 9:38pm | Kero Kero Chime Review - 83/100 | | | | This time, I wanted to check out something I knew absolutely nothing about. So that’s why I went for a strange obscure shoujo-adventure from the 90s. Don’t ask why, I’m not sure myself. Anyway, to my surprise Kero Kero Chime actually turned out to be good. Talk about overlooked!... | | |

| 9:19pm | Rage of Sasa’s cobloggers |  | | | Without extra ado, here goes an opinion on Bus Gamer: This show has horrible animation — Gonzo, how low you’ve fallen, having to animate this stupid story –, the character designs are ugly, and not a single hole has been closed. Usually first episodes are the best because that’s the... | | |
| 6:59pm | Bus Lamer - The Crappiest Show Ever? | | | | Like how I did that? “Lamer” instead of Gamer? LOLOLOL? no. Not even that horribly horrible pun can quench my rage. I’m so angry right now, you dont even know. Imagine coming back from a long day of classes and horribly average test grades and with the hope of grabing a little R and... | | |
