A-League Round 14
Sydney FC 3 df Queensland Roar 0 at Sydney Football Stadium
Sydney dominated this match almost completely, especially after the 20th minute send off of Queensland’s Chad Gibson. Only some superb goal-keeping by the Roar’s Liam Reddy denied the home side even more goals.
Sydney opened the scoring shortly after when Reddy brought down Robbie [...]

This episode kicks off with Makoto once again trying to play a prank on Yuuichi while he sleeps, and once again he’s wise to her. The next day, a yawning Makoto is brought down to breakfast with everyone else as it’s her first day of work. Unaware of the true nature of [...]

I’ve quite enjoyed the opening 4 hours of this one. Rather than traditional RPG elements, there’s been a big focus on mini-games and character development (along with flashbacks.) Actual combat has taken a back seat, but what’s there has been very simple thus far, consisting of a single physical attack along with a dodge.
The character [...]

Suzuka Volume 1, Negima volume 15 (which came with a DVD containing the Summer Special OVA) and NHK Volume 1 along with the December issue of Newtype.

Newtype came with a Haruhi supplement, featuring some lovely artwork — including this poster, which now [...]

Kanon - Episode 6
This episode starts out with a Yuuichi having a flashback to another of his and Ayu’s childhood meetings. He’s rudely disturbed by Makoto tossing a bunch of lit fireworks into his room, which he promptly tosses back out the door, scaring the living daylights out of her.
The next morning at breakfast, Ayu [...]

A cold and wet evening welcomed Sydney to Newcastle for their Round 11 clash. Sydney took an early lead through a well taken goal by David Zdrillic but, as has become the norm, were unable to hang on and eventually conceded a late equalizer after some sustained Newcastle pressure.
