| 7:25am | I shouldn’t do this, but… |  | | | I am. Insert Maho Filler. Merry Christmas.Touko should be more open with her holiday cheer. By TheBigN, and I’d assume the rest of DMAB as well. :3 |
| 7:15pm | Unfulfilled Expectations or a Drastic My Anime Blog 2008 Primer |  | | | By TheBigN So according to others, I was apparently supposed to be part of the “12 Days of Christmas” craze that’s sweeping the blogosphere, and I’m kinda confused on how that impression came to be. I’m planning on doing what I did last year with the “Impressions... | | |
| 1:59am | Jim Morrison, John Paul II, and….. er… Zange-chan |  | | | By Nomad(The damn weather needs to pick something and stick with it)OttoJim Morrison (of the Doors) had a famous bit in which he he shouted, “When I was back in seminary school, there was someone who put forth the proposition that you could petition the lord with prayer YOU CANNOT PETITION THE... | | |
| 2:54am | Studio 4C short: The end of the world |  | | | by dm I watch a lot of anime, but what really excites me is independent animation projects (pretty much from anywhere in the world, though I’m most focussed on Japan). Things like Pale Cocoon and Aquatic Language (from Eve no jikan’s Yasuhiro Yoshiura and Rikka Studio), the clever Kakurenbo.... |
| 4:32pm | Some Macross F Vocal Collection Nyan Tama: Blown Away By Love Power |  | | | By TheBigN(yan Nyan) So the awaited third “OST” for Macross Frontier has come out, and as the vocal tracks really stand out from the superb background music for me, I’m elated. I haven’t even really begun to go through the entire album, so I haven’t listened to the epicness... | | |
| 2:39am | Time of Eve episode 3: “Koji and Rina”, the lovers |  | | | The real star of the show --- yet another of this season's Nagis By dm Episode three of Time of Eve (Eve no jikan) is now streaming at reformed pirates Crunchyroll. (DVDs soon, please. Crunchyroll just whets the appetite.) As with the previous two episodes, this episode introduces another pair of... | | |
| 3:16am | Initial Impressions on Toradora: Well, It Certainly Grabbed Mine |  | | | By TheBigN As a pretty self-conscious person, one of my characteristics is a nagging worry that I’m drawing unwanted notice to myself. I assume that my appearance is very noticeable, but I tend to overstate things, and it does help that I feel like I put myself out there in the open enough... | | |
| 3:00am | Thankful for Anime, 2008 |  | | | By TheBigN When I did this last year, I thought I was a little unique for setting it up the way I did. Turns out that this same format (and the title even), had been done for years past by one Jason Miao. Goes to show you how originality is hard to come by (orz). But it still is a good time to be thankful... |
| 3:07am | My Delusions As A Fanboy: Got Your (Scape)Goat Handy? |  | | | By TheBigN Despite me getting annoyed by the end of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (mainly just execution problems, and that might be another story), there are still plenty of moments that made me feel glad that I actually took time to watch the series. One specific moment came during episode 7, one... | | |
| 1:10pm | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 9: Girls on Film |  | | | When I see Yoshinoya-sensei in action, it makes me feel guilty, since I feel like a kindred spirit on some senses. In terms of things that “matter”, things that she “needs” to do, she’s a chronic procrastinator. I totally understand having priorities that take personal... | | |
| 10:43pm | On the Suspension of Disbelief |  | | | By Nomad(Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated)OttoAs you may have noticed, I haven’t posted in a fair while, this is for three very important reasons:THE GOOD: Quals, which I passed, meaning that I’m no longer a masters student, but, rather, a doctoral candidate. whoooooooooo... | | |
| 5:00am | So… Elections… |  | | | I had planned to vote for someone who was a uniter. Someone with a message that inspired people, whether to keep going on in life, to keep on fighting even when it seems impossible to win, or to strive for a greater happiness for themselves (because things can always get better). Someone that I could... | | |
| 1:00am | A Quarter Of A Million Hits Later… |  | | | And nothing of value was lost. Or gained. By TheBigN But seriously, considering how long it took for Drastic My Anime Blog to garner 100,000 hits, getting 150,000 hits more was much quicker. No matter if you come here for that one Yoko pic (or the post that came with it), a greater meaning of Highschool... | | |
| 6:12pm | Vote for Miyako Redux! |  | | | By TheBigN While I thought that Miyako might be able to get past Rena in the last round of Saimoe, I was surprised when the result actually turned out to be so (lol @Rena taken home). Against Tomoyo, I still have faith that she can come through, but I’m not sure that others believe as well. If... | | |
