| 2:55pm | Sora no Manimani episode 7 | | | | Around episode 4 I thought the subbing for this anime had settled down into a regular weekly pattern. Instead we get two weeks with nothing and then two in two days. It’s like busesmecha anime. None come along for several seasons and then 5 show up in one seasonhopefully.This time I’m going... | | |
| 1:00pm | Opening doors to new interests |  | | | Some consider a strength of anime to be the sheer variety in the topics that shows cover. From this summer 2009 season alone, we have anime featuring mahjong, baseball, vampires, witches, butlers, maids, newspaper delivery services, alchemy, and lesbians. Of course, that’s not to say live-action... | | |
| 9:19pm | Sora no Manimani Episode 07 – Last Time’s Regrets |  | | | After many slow weeks of waiting for episodes we have two fansubbing groups working on SoraMani and now two episodes released rapid fire. And it couldn’t be at a better time too as the show is really going into high gear lately. Several meaningful conversations this episode, a variety of great Hime... | | |
| 4:44pm | Sora no Manimani Episode 06 – It’s a Sou-nii! | | | | In this episode we’re introduced to Nozomu Souma, the underclassmen’s new teacher who Mihoshi knows from her childhood. Plans are made for the school festival, Hime renews her efforts to get close to Saku, and the new teacher’s involvement in the astronomy club doesn’t sit well with Saku.... | | |
| 3:27pm | Sora no Manimani episode 6 | | | | When it comes to the more popular anime, one can engage in fansub loyalty. For example, I always wait for gg subs to watch Bakemonogatari. With Sora no Manimani, it’s a simple case of ‘beggars can’t be choosers’. Not that there was much wrong with ASenshi subs, although you have... | | |
| 4:00pm | Sora no Manimani 5 - In the Region of the Summer Stars |  | | | A rather implausible plot premise turns into a rather beautiful evocation about the constellations and the reason why people began to stargaze. Let’s keep this review short and sweet, much like the show itself. First off–perhaps it’s because I’ve never seen student government... | | |
| 4:02am | Loose Odds and Ends |  | | | As a reminder, there are no new episodes of Basquash or Fullmetal Alchemist this week because of the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics. A new episode of Bakemonogatari, however, will be airing later today. Speaking of Basquash, I really like the full version of the current ending song and... | | |
| 8:17pm | Sora no Manimani 02 |  | | | The show begins with the introduction of Makita Hime; a girl with some nice bouncing red hair (also very fluffy)! She’s the hawt-babe among the first and second year students, but as a set of flashbacks would have you know, it wasn’t always like that. Her hair was ridiculed constantly during... | | |
| 6:56am | Summer 2009 Anime Impressions – Kanamemo | | | | I’ve tried to write this impression post several times already but every time I’ve tried to, I just can’t convince myself that I’ve accurately pegged this show. Episode 5 was able to convince me of my opinion but you might be surprised to find out how. Rating: episode 1 – 6/12 B- Rating:... | | |
| 11:16am | Sora no Manimani episode 5 | | | | I know most of you reading this will be nerds and therefore have little to no interest in sports, but the English Premier League is starting today and by god am I pumped! Arsenal are going to prove everyone wrong and win the league this season. Come on you Gooners!Now though lets focus on what | | |
| 12:11am | Sora no Manimani Episode 05 - Operation Star One | | | | Continuing from Fumie’s discovery of the Astronomy Club members passed out on the floor of their hovel after a night of stargazing at the end of the last episode, President-for-Life Fumie decides to punish the club for such “absurd, shameless, filthy” behavior and bans them from the holding activities... | | |
| 4:26pm | Summer 2009 Mid-Season Report Card | | | | We’re about halfway through the Summer 2009 season, so it’s time to see where all the series that I’m watching currently stand. Number of episodes watched are in parenthesis:1st Tier 1. Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom (19) Phantom has shot up to the top of my list as one of the... | | |
| 2:00am | Sora no Manimani 4 - Starcross’d | | | | Is this the hinge episode, where all anime comedies start transitioning to becoming More Serious? Sora no Manimani is this season’s sleeper show. Aside from a burst of initial fangirling, there hasn’t been much written about it on the blogosphere; for the most part, it’s because the... | | |
| 8:35pm | Sora no Manimani Episode 04 - Space Camp | | | | (Post is a week late, but I wanted to wait until it was out subbed so that everyone can get a chance to watch it. AonE was faster than the estimate they gave me, so good for them. Here’s to hoping 05 is out soon.) Discussions of an overnight astronomy camp during the summer come to fruition and the... | | |
