9. Jeff Lawson awakens

   This must be an Autumn of revival. First CKS, now Lawson. But, of all things, Endless Eight?! He must be still sleepy and disoriented.

10. Netflix lulz of the day

    I watched v.5 and v.6 of Moribito and went to order more, when I noticed that the section is full of whiny "reviews" which actually ask where the v.5 might be. And indeed, v.1-v.4 and v.6 are listed on the left, but v.5 …

11. Popotan in 1 minute

    I guess I didn't even give Popotan a time to begin, let alone fail, before deciding that I had enough. I might have given it a better chance in a barren spell, but now I have 3 or 4 in-season shows, Mahoraba rewatch on R2, and true tears, not counting …

12. CKS on Akane Mishima

    Chris arose from the dead with this:

    (This makes me unconvinced that Akane actually is as terrible a shot as she seems to be. It doesn't even have to be deliberate and conscious on her part. Really, humans are startlingly kind when you get down to it; outside of cliched …

13. Tsumugi's tube in K-ON

    I asked a friend who dabs in synths, what the vacuum tube was doing in Tsumugi's station.

    

    The answer was:

    Very likely a korg product. They added a tube to the electribe series, and the triton extreme.

    tbh, it's kind of a gimmick. They noticed guitarists pay silly amounts of …

    A visit to website of Eclipse shows download counts: 21239 for Kimi ni Todoke 02, 23532 for Ichizon 03, and 70282 for FMA:B 28. In other words, Ichizon and KnT are about the same, and FMA is far ahead. Who are all those people? I don't even think I …

15. Hazards of Ani-nouto Kremlinology

    Zyl writes:

    Though it's faintly ominous that Arashi merits its own category but not GA:GADC.

    As categories proliferate, I'm getting increasingly stingier with awarding them: my sidebar is not endless. So, these days in order to gain a category, an anime has not only be remarkable, but also prompt …

16. K-ON: Azusa lands

    What a bomb (beginning of ep.9).

    

    I'm disturbed and cannot watch any further... for now.

17. Scrumptious rounds up early Kimi ni Todoke

    That sure was a lot of quotes. Now my biggest fear about Kimi ni Todoke is that it may disappoint all these people by a failure of directing, or leaving a continuation hook, or any other reason why anime fails utterly.

18. Stripey's Top 5

    In regards to Stripey's Top5 meme, I documented changes to the composition of titans before, but to summarize for the meme:

    1. Azumanga Daioh
    2. Haibane Renmei
    3. Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight
    4. Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann
    5. Nodame Cantabile (original)

    Shingu, not unexpectedly present on SDB's Top5, is pushing from …
