| 8:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 7 - Anime of the Year | | | | It’s the Year of the Dango, doncha know Well, at long last we’ve come to the end of our little farcical award show. Much like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, the awards are made up and the prizes don’t matter, but it’s been a lot of fun to write nevertheless. Now finally,... | | |
| 8:00am | Happy New Year from Epic Win! | | | | Happy 2008! Here’s hoping your year goes “just as planned!” Yes yes, I know; we’re waaay behind the rest of the world on this “New Year” thing. Everyone else is already sooo over 2008 by now. Nevertheless, allow us to wish you a Happy New Year! あけましておめでとう... |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 6 - Music & Voice Acting | | | | Up to this point the awards have mostly been silly and nonsensical. The final two days of our award show, however, will be a little different. We’re putting aside the random awards in favor of a few more traditional categories. Today we’ll be talking about the best the year had to offer... | | |
| 10:30pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 5 - Action | | | | There was a time when the genre “Action” didn’t have the connotation of mindless protagonists, clichéd “take over the world” plots, and gratuitous vehicle explosions in every other scene. Then a very silly man named Michael Bay came along, and well…the rest is history.... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 4 - Drama | | | | A gripping and intense story is something that captivates us regardless of the medium, be it film, anime, theatre, or literature. The term “drama”, however, is used pretty capriciously nowadays and usually has the connotation of trite relationship infidelities or other such drivel. Disregarding... | | |
| 6:30pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 3 - Comedy | | | | As much as we all love a good dramatic, action packed series, there’s really nothing better for relaxing after a hard day at work than some lighthearted humor. Well, unless there’s a new episode of Aria, in which case everything else goes out the window. Fortunately, this year had a pretty... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 2 - Slice-of-Life | | | | The award ceremony marches onward, now with more silly categories and some slice-of-life awards!.. Sometimes you just need a good pick me up. Of course, personally I usually turn to caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol. When it comes to anime, however, there are time when you really just need something... | | |
| 1:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 1 - The Cream of the Crap | | | | Wai~! Wai~! Another year has come and gone, and with it a number of excellent and entertaining shows. It brought moments that made us roll with laughter, moments that made us shed manly tears, moments that made us smile and nod, moments that healed our spirits, and moments that made us thrust our hands... | | |
| 4:00pm | Merry Christmas from Epic Win | | | | Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! メリークリスマス! ¡Feliz Navidad! Joyeux Noël! Fröhliche Weihnachten! Wow, it’s been a rollickingly engaging past few months here at Epic Win. Let me just say that I’m personally astounded at the number of people who have read, commented, and... |
| 7:00am | Kaiji 10 & 11 - We All Fall Down | | | | The Gurren-dan motto of pushing and smashing every obstacle in the way has never seemed more sinister. But then, sinister and provoking is the kind of storytelling that Kaiji does best. Kaiji is essentially out of the frying pan and into the furnace. Though he’s escaped with his life from the... | | |
| 7:25am | Gurren Lagann, and ADV’s Streaming VoD In Review | | | | Click to see it full-size So I finally got around to checking out ADV’s new online streaming video service, and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed. There are some issues with the player itself, as well as the translations, but hey, you can’t complain too much when it’s free.... | | |
| 1:30am | Christmas Contest Winners! | | | | That’s right, I said “winners”. Since we ended up having so many responses to our contest, I felt bad only giving away one prize. To make up for it, in addition to the $30 Amazon online gift certificate grand prize, we decided to also throw in a $15 second place prize! So without further... |
| 5:10am | Wanted: Rampaging Hit-N-Run Truck | | | | RAMPAGING HIT-N-RUN TRUCK Description: This deranged killer has been sighted in a number of different anime attempting to run down innocent pedestrians in the road. The majority of the victims are female, usually young, and usually distracted from the oncoming peril by some form of emotional trauma... |
| 8:45am | 500th Comment Winner and Contest Reminder! | | | | Our Christmas Contest is still ongoing. I will be drawing names from those who commented to select a winner tomorrow, exactly one week after the contest began, so for those who haven’t left a comment yet, this is a friendly reminder to answer the four questions so that you have a shot at the $30... |
| 10:45pm | Bamboo Blade Is the New Costume Rape? | | | | Hooray, finally an episode in which Satori-chan gets to shine. And shine she doesmmmMmm tasty! =3 OK, so maybe it’s not quite Haruhi caliber costume raping, but Kirino and Saya’s genki/aggressive tactics (it’s like passive/aggressive but a lot happier) in trying to recruit Satori to... | | |
