I'm fairly busy with things in life, such as catching up on all the 2006 anime that I missed, getting an A in Calculus I, and maintaining a social life consisting mostly of LAN parties. However, I have been watching ... http://dstandard.animeblogger.net/?p=54 So Claymore motivates me once again to post, no surprise there. It seems that dramatic buildup is a specialty of this season of anime, with Claymore, Gurren Lagann, Kaze no Stigma, and Darker than Black all headed toward solid endings. This is definitely a welcome change from the seemingly inevitable ... http://dstandard.animeblogger.net/?p=53 "The silver eyed lion raged, his fury palpable in crimson waves, tearing through soft, all too human flesh. On the field of battle, they fell, one by one, bodies shattered and twisted, scattered to the icy winds until only a single warrior remained.

Fortunately, this anime has what it takes to maintain interest unlike *certain* others. (Nanoha Strikers) Episode 07 continues the trend of relatively meaningless missions, but manages to maintain something resembling suspense ... http://dstandard.animeblogger.net/?p=24 I guess I'll start reviewing the bleach manga at chapter 288. Chapter 288 slows down the action a bit, focusing more on the one sided dialog between Espada and the various main characters. Introducing eighth Espada Szyel Grantz's released form, this chapter does a good job of building suspense ... http://dstandard.animeblogger.net/?p=15 I'll be beginning my reviews of Umisho with episode 6. This particular episode continues the pace and absurd sensuality of the others. Amazingly, for a fan-service based anime, Umisho shines in it's ability to seem fresh with every episode without resorting to attempts ... http://dstandard.animeblogger.net/?p=6 ...there was one Anime Blog; now there are many, and this is one more. Albatross and I will be filling out the site as soon as our ambition allows so look for updates and encourage us! I still have some details to work out with the site theme, also.
