| 6:35am | Spice and Wolf, Shigofumi and Hatenkou Yuugi |  | | | Haha, I said I’d be back didn’t I? I’ve been procrastinating (by that I mean playing PatchCon and taking my mid-terms). Really I have. So there’ll be no episode summaries (really, am I the best you can do?) but rather a few scattered thoughts about everything. Soyeah. First... | | |
| 9:33pm | Shigofumi, at a glance. Suddenly, yandere! | | | | OSHI- Wow, yet again blindsided by a show that I knew nothing about. The winter season is actually shaping up to be quite decent, now if only we could get ourselves some Minami-ke O subs and a faster group for ARIA. Shigofumi is about a service for the dead where they are allowed to write their final... | | |
| 7:42pm | Shigofumi | | | | At first, I was thinking, “Here’s another shinigami loli with white hair going to the world of the living to make people happy, so I’ll give it a try.” And during the first 15 or so minutes, it was just near or in the ballpark of what I predicted, but it had a little twist towards... | | |
| 8:04pm | January 2008 Anime -- First Impressions | | | | Based on one or two episodes, here are some first impressions:true tears -- After two episodes, this is the cream of the crop, for me. Beautifully directed, with interesting characters, and silences full of meaning. The animation is almost KyoAni-level. Takagaki Ayahi is outstanding as the electric... | | |
| 11:58am | Shigofumi ~ Stories of the Last Letter - 02 | | | | The second episode was slightly less impressive than the first one, but still this remains a good series to blog. My main problem is that the influences of Code Geass’ writer were noticeable, and this episode just lacked the subtlety of Jigoku Shoujo. Still, the only real flaw of this episode... | | |
| 10:42am | Winter season preview - A few interesting things indeed | | | | Finally, I have finished researching the series I want to watch next, and as you might have noticed, I am looking much more forward to this season than the last. Especially since I ended up watching nothing but Kaiji regularily - which didn’t even appear on my list. I hope and expect my predictions... | | |
| 11:43pm | Young VA Hayami Saori Gets New Role | | | | Hayami Saori 早見沙織, 16, played heroine Momoka in Touka Gettan, and sang the ED. She was outstanding at both, in my opinion.Now she has been tapped for one of the four main roles in a new anime, Wagaya no O-inari-sama 我が家のお稲荷さま("O ur House's Fox Spirit"), about a household protected... | | |
| 9:17am | BOST TV - Creating A Market For Niche Titles | | | | This afternoon I watched the first episode of Keitai Shoujo on BOST TV, the newly launched anime digital distribution service. (Is it pronounced bost or boost?) It was a nice quick experience considering that anime was my only option for my region (USA) - I didn’t have the privilege to pay to... | | |

| 5:24pm | Autumn Season Preview | | | | When I first glanced upon the list of series that were slated for the Fall-Season, I thought that this Season would be even worse than the Fall-Season of 2006. Thankfully, I was wrong; there are quite a few interesting series out there, and there are way less shounen and harem-series than last year.... | | |

Daniel, a newly-chosen tsukaima, has been assigned to her, and is none too pleased about it. Rumor is, no tsukaima has ever lasted long under her tutelage.Daniel finds out the hard way exactly why this is | | |
| 3:40pm | Back in action | | | | Hello everyone, I’m back, and I know I already broke some of the promises I made, sorry about that. First of all, my internet connection is now fix, sort of, well, at least it’s now acceptable. I currently have a 1 Megabit connection, but I’m still nowhere near getting the 8 | | |
| 9:17pm | Shinigami no Ballad vol 2 - “Death can never separate the heart” |  | | | A life was lost a very time ago. As Momo quietly looked from the far distance, a man who used to be a boy, met up with a young girl to the amusement park. The girl was quiet, not speaking a single word as both of them feel the coldness in the air. Surrounding them are beautiful lights that sparkle | | |
