9. Seiji Mizushima

   Accidentially noticed his name at ANN while looking at the chart for Oh Edo Rocket... Of course I knew him, he directed Dai-Guard. One click shows that he also worked on Hanamaru and old FMA. Not sure if Gundam 00 is to his credit of a genius director though.

   P …

10. IKnight is back

    When Russians say "leave like a Brit", they mean "without good-byes". IKnight is a true Brit, then. His last posting was just a bit over a year ago. Now he's back without any unnecessary messaging. The revival was not entirely unexpected, as he was leaving comments recently.

11. Mitsudomoe continuation

    ANN reports (h/t Thomas by e-mail):

    Kubo indicated in the comment section of his Tuesday entry in mixi that Mitsudomoe will run for one kūru (one quarter of a year), go on hiatus for another kūru, and then run again for a second kūru.

    Does anyone not know what …

12. Oh Edo Rocket ends

    

    Seeing Oh Edo Rocket, I was suddenly ashamed to watch crass, poorly made stuff like Strike Witches and Ookami-san [1]. OER is a living proof that well-made, thoughtful anime does not have to be a sleep-inducing festival of pretentiouseness (like Mushishi, for example). And what qualifies OER as well-made the …

13. Kokidokom is down

    Bluehost suspended kokidokom.net today, and with it went Simplicity, Anime Princess, Hey Say Anime, Anime^2, and Metanorn. Disasters like this are inevitable for second-degree re-hosting (anyone remember Riex Randall forgetting to register Dasaku's previos domain?). Certainly getting in bed with Bluehost - the same jerks who took down Hinano's …

14. Mitsudomoe 09

    While watching, I compared Mitsuba and Futaba to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. It was an exaggeration, naturally, but I think a permissible one. It was a neat segment.

    

    This may be a good time to admit that starting some time around episode 5 or 6, I began practicing fast-forwaring …

15. Funi's well-hidden treasures

    Calaggie twittered that Funi posted Furuba to Hulu. My search for it on Youtube proved fruitless, so I guess it's not there. Oh Edo Rocket is definitely there though. It is not in the list of Funi's "shows", but it can be found if one searches among 2600+ "uploads". I …

16. Mitsudomoe 08

    

    The time has come for me to break sharply with Aroduc regarding an episode of Mitsudomoe, even if for one segment only -- the 4th one. His take:

    [08] was absolutely killed by a truly godawful fourth part.

    And that is because:

    And the last part was 50% insert song and …

17. Sankaku translates Akamatsu

    I am going to give a full-quote treatment to the post at Sankaku Complex (always NSFW) (via) that translates remarks by Ken Akamatsu, the mangaka behind Love Hina and Negima:

    Certainly, the moe boom is finished, and from last year on I think we’re seeing the following phenomena:

18. The curse of ep.7

    In the comments (not body) of the post at Chizumatic Steven writes that AsoIku 07 has severily tried his patience:

    I'm having a strange reaction today: I don't want to watch the rest of this episode. [..] Last night I thought I'd pounce on it first thing this morning, but it's …
