| 10:24pm | Thanksfest 2008: The Re-thanks-ening | | | | Let Miyuki represent you, the fansubber/blogger/animator/rea der Well, I may not be trying to feed turkey to my computer monitor, but I’m still having a very anime Thanksgiving here, in my dorm room, typing up a sequel to last year’s post, giving a little bit of love back to some of the... | | |
| 12:49am | One Outs 06 ーワンナウツ | | | | Rating: 06: 「Low Spinning Fastball -低回転ストレート」 Yet another edge-of-your-seat episode of One Outs. One Outs is proving to be the most entertaining series available this season, and more entertaining than Akagi and Kaiji were. This is largely due to... | | |
| 4:05pm | Kaiji Finds a Home on Joost | | | | In another case of Japanese companies working directly with an Internet distributor in the States (after, y’know, that major CrunchyRoll coup), Nippon TV and Dentsu have just announced that along with entertainment company Yoshimoto Kogyo, they’ll be providing some Japanese entertainment... | | |
| 1:59am | When in Doubt, Call for a Time-Out [aka Time for One Outs] | | | | Had I stuck with my initial “plans” for Sunday — writing backlogged blog posts, tweaking the blog theme, or studying for the upcoming JLPT — it would’ve turned out dull and boring (and totally geeky =P). But I slacked off, and got enticed to watch the last two episodes... | | |
| 4:32pm | It’s Hard to Score on One Out | | | | One Outs is the sports/gambling manga-turned-anime about some kid swindling money from people who look down on him and one-upping said folks for profit and excitement. It starts out with hobos and joes but it turns into pro. It’s a good recipe. The tags would be baseball, bishie, and JUST AS... | | |
| 6:10am | October Summary | | | | Okay, so since this list already is huge for this month, I decided to omit the OVAs in this list, along with series that have already finished and belong to the previous season, like Chi’s Sweet Home and Wagaya no Oinarisama, in an attempt to keep this list a bit overviewable (although I do want... | | |
| 7:55pm | Sports anime |  | | | As I mentioned in the season update, One Outs is being talked about, if not as a top drawer show. Now the apologists of sports anime made their point in Jen’s comments (hat tip: saturnine). Impz summed it up thus: I cannot agree more. The issue with such shows is that it will be terribly under-watched... | | |
| 10:05am | One Outs = Total Sports Anime Ripoff | | | | Decided to watch One Outs episode 1 last weekend since it’s been subbed, and my initial impression could be summed up as: Toa is Hiruma’s long lost twin, not to mention they exude the same aura too. I’m sure TheBigN can attest to this. So you can say that we’ve got some (Hiru)MANservice... | | |
| 8:07pm | Kurozuka - 04 | | | | Short Synopsis: Kurou remembers what happened to Kuromitsu, and the story takes an interesting turn. Highlights: Matrix, anyone? Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 I remember that during the winter-season, I was very annoyed with Madhouse for some strange reason. If I recall correctly, then apart from... | | |
| 5:04pm | Someone Save The Kaiji Live Action Movie | | | | I must be lagging, since I only came to know about this piece of news at Canned Dogs almost 2 weeks after the post was up. When I read the title of the post, I wanted to rejoice over news of the movie. After all, I loved the anime.Then I continued on to read the Related posts:Laughable 20th Century Boys... | | |
| 3:44am | First Impressions: Casshern Sins | | | | Synopsis: In a world where robots outnumer humans, Casshern kills humanity’s hope, Luna, setting the world’s ruin into motion. Casshern Sins is a revamp of the entire Casshern franchise, discarding the continuity of the original Neo-Human Casshern series from the 1970’s, where... | | |
| 7:22am | Kurozuka - 02 | | | | Short Synopsis: A violent killer visits Kuromitsu. Highlights: Production-values are less than in the first episode, but nonetheless gorgeous. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 As for One Outs, I’m very surprised at how underrated that series has become, considering how well-received Akagi and Kaiji... | | |
| 6:56pm | One Outs #01 — Spitball | | | | Well, I’m out. New Season Disclaimer: I’ll make a post for almost all new series (barring sequels) with a wrap-up and bullet point opinion of each once the premier week is over. Remember that these are just my kneejerk reactions to the first 20 minutes of shows, many of which in genres... | | |
