| 1:00pm | Pride Comes Before A… Fall 2007 Previews: Dragons, Magic, Mecha |  | | | Now that the two main first impressions posts are over, I guess I can start to slack off or something. There isn’t a whole lot that I’m expecting in the shounen, action-packed side, but that might be due to how I don’t carry a lot of expectations with me when I watch new shows, unless... | | |
| 7:56am | Moyashimon = Mushishi + LocoRoco | | | | In a season overflowing with sequels and generic “been there, done that” plots, Moyashimon’s unique premise and unusual, lighthearted style is a breath of fresh air. Basically it’s Mushishi, but instead of mysterious and sometimes sinister creatures that live in your eyeballs,... | | |
| 11:06pm | Hige vs The Autumn Season, Part Two | | | | Rental Magica First I have to compliment the pace of this episode. Rarely is anything in anime this brisk in its first episode and I'm praying it will keep it up throughout the run, as it could be the difference between me watching and dropping. The premise of magicians for hire seems quite unique... | | |

| 5:27pm | Mission Statement: Autumn 07 | | | | I’m not going to do a full preview because I don’t have my finger as on the pulse as so many others have. There’s not a great deal of new stuff that’s caught my eye anyway, but here’s the shortlist (i.e. it’s a list that’s very short) of what you can expect... | | |
| 1:49am | Mushishi Vol. 1 - Anime DVD Review | | | | The literal translation for “Mushi-shi” sounds sorta like “Bug Tamer,” but I think the actual meaning is a bit more interesting. At least, if you’re not into entomology Story: Mushishi are not bugs. They’re actually pseudo life-forms that were around before life even... | | |
