| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 8:38am | SHort VN reviews (Would a bishi kill you, HUH?) | | | | The game is about Bishoujos, I KNOW. But would a bishounen kill you? Huh? It didn’t kill Touka Gettan. Yes, purely because of these ugly people, I’ve dropped Edelweiss, a game that was translated into English by Mangagamer. They’re called VISUAL novels for a reason. If you won’t... | | |

| 9:41am | Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 06 | | | | Well, talk about a different atmosphere in this episode. For once, nobody died and instead we’ve now come to fleshing out the characters, with Shannon, Jessica and Kanon being the first. What the hell is going on is still pretty much a mystery, but we did get quite a few new answers to what... | | |
| 3:29pm | Touka Gettan Review - 80/100 | | | | Touka Gettan is part of the “WTF am I watching!?”-series. From the creators of Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito comes an equally eccentric series that will have just about everyone confused as hell in the first five episodes. Its big selling point is of course that the episode aired backwards:... | | |

Just some random last minute things: I picked up Asako Nishida’s art book. It came out 7/2... | | |
| 7:56pm | Hayami Saori -- the new Kawasumi Ayako or the new Shimamoto Sumi? | | | | I keep rewatching episodes of Eden of the East, partly just to hear more of the beautiful voice of Hayami Saori 早見沙織. The 17-year-old Hayamin is coming into her own with her starring role as Saki.In the thread about her on 2channel, the Japanese discussion board, her growing number of fans have... | | |
| 7:56pm | Eden of the East - 01 |  | | | OP: “Falling Down” by Oasis – Wow. Just wow. I absolutely love the OP.

| 11:31pm | Rage Against the Book Cover, Perverted Ones | | | | I write in an unhealthy, verbose manner, but this sums up my feeling, year in and year out, about approaching new anime on a seasonal basis, with more feeling than I can ever imbue within a bunch of words. So I echo. It’s definitely important to call out and evaluate stuff that is detrimental,... | | |
