| 2:42pm | Cross Game - 24 | | | | I’d like again to hijack this post for a bit to post up some impressions of the past half year of anime. Now that most of the series of the past Spring and Summer Season are about to end, it’s time to reflect on them again, and how they matched up to previous years. My general impression... | | |
| 6:50am | What I’m looking forward to Ver2 | | | | Yes, my post on the fall season. It’s shorter and less flashy than Sakura’s, but it’s still here anyway. Darker than black Comet of Gemini Studio Bones+lots of blood+some answers?=There’s no way in hell I’m going to skip this series. I wonder just how big of a role Hei... | | |
| 7:42pm | Yotsuba&! Volumes 1-6 – Thoughts & Impressions | | | | Huge huge HUGE thanks to Yen Press for sending me this to review!! About the Mangaka Azuma Kiyohiko is the creator of Azumanga Daioh as well as Yotsuba&!, as well as other hentai manga as well. Due to the way he writes his name there has been debate over whether he was a guy or gal. He has several... | | |
| 2:04pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group E – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Yami, Shimako, Tomoyo, and Miyuki. Congrats to Tomoyo, even with the low voter turnout. Though I’m a bit saddened by Shiki’s loss. Anyway I’m looking at the next set of matches, and I notice Yui there in what has to be an easy win for her, right? If not I’ll be at a... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group D – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Elen, Amu, Koromo, and Hanyuu. Hurray for Hanyuu! What an impressive early show of support for her campaign. And Koromo managed to pull ahead of Izumi by just a measly two votes. (A major sigh of relief there.) Well believe it or not, K-ON is now 0-3 in this main tournament. Full results after... | | |
| 11:05am | xxxHolic – AnotherHolic (Novel) | | | | I like xxxHolic. I’ve been reading the manga since Del Rey started publishing their English print of the series all those years back. I also like Nisioisin. Minor translation niggles aside, I really liked Zaregoto (insert usual bitching about the second volumes non-release). I also really like... | | |
| 1:36am | Bakemonogatari is Brilliant… But It Put Me To Sleep. Twice. | | | | And yet I’m still watching it, anyway. That’s not hyperbole, either. This series literally made me fall asleep on two separate occasions when I was trying to watch it. Just, face on the keyboard snooze. I don’t know if it’s something subliminal in the funky music or what, but... | | |
| 6:58am | Angel Diary Volume 09 – Thoughts & Impressions | | | | Review copy kindly provided by Yen Press About the Mangaka Kara is the name of a manwha-ga-duo: Yoon-Gyeong Kim & Eun-Sook Jeong. And to quote them, their name comes from the Hebrew word for ‘to invite’. Kim and Jeong first met each other when they both were in their fourth year of university,... | | |
| 3:13pm | Introducing a New Blogger on Riuva… | | | | Since most of the other guys, with the notable exception of Ascaloth, haven’t really been active, I’ve been looking for some fresh talent to come onboard the site. If you’re looking to blog on anime, manga or any other topic with the slightest bit of relevancy, do email me or use the... | | |
| 3:17pm | Faust Volume 2 | | | | You know, I’m kind of surprised that this actually got released. This isn’t me being negative about the content, rather that the first volume came out in August last year and has since done an exceedingly good job of consuming shelf space at my local bookstores. As much as I’d like... | | |
| 4:15pm | xxxHOLiC Shunmuki 2 | | | | In contrast to Lupus’ drive-by shooting and Aroduc’s pastrying of this OVA ep, I thought the whole journey was worth it just to see Yuuko’s expression after Watanuki’s declaration that he will do whatever he can to fulfill her wish. Not that they didn’t make pertinent... | | |
| 2:01am | My journey through Umineko Ep1 | | | | 00:10: OMG, BEACTRICE. Haha, they used the game image! OMG Akiko Shikata, the song sounds awesome! OMG, I can’t believe that this is an anime!!!!! What the hell, I sound like a rabid fan girl. Ack, I don’t care anymore. I’ve been in love with Umineko too long to worry about how I... | | |
| 8:25am | Why does everything I like have to be like this |  | | | The following image is what started this FANBOY/NERD RAEG rant: Gatoh Shoji, what the fuck are you doing? Why are you writing anime scripts instead of finishing Full Metal Panic? Why do you hate your fans so much? The last book was published more than a year and a half ago, and ended on a unsettling,... | | |
