| 6:00am | Moyashimon = Earthworm Dragons RAWR! | | | | Tiny microbe riding a giant face-worm?? The “WTF” factor in this show is just beyond compare. I mean, it’s worse than Ghost Hound, honestly!

| 8:30am | But Clannad Sucks! Did I Miss Something? | | | | Dear Reader, I am in the midst of a deep conundrum. I faithfully watched Clannad up until episode 9, the conclusion of Fuuko’s story arc. And I hated it. I was too busy rolling my eyes to be able to shed any tears. Yet the rest of the blogosphere has been filled with nothing but “FU-CHAN... | | |

While School Days was undoubtedly the most talked about show among the summer anime this year, Potemayo was the real sleeper hit, in my opinion. The sheer silliness of the concept and the slapstick... | | |
| 11:00pm | The 12 Days of Christmas | | | | On the first day of Christmas my true love (anime) gave to me As we begin the month of December, the time for celebrating the joyous Christmas season and the end of the year, it seems only fitting that we also take a moment to celebrate some of those memorable anime moments from throughout the year... | | |
| 10:01am | Kaiji 7 & 8 - What a Noob | | | | The heck with strategy, it’s time for some fisticuffs! Gentei Janken finally comes to an end, but not without a few twists. (For some reason this screenshot just makes me laugh uncontrollably.) OK, I would’ve just decked Funai right in the mouth at this point. Actually, Kaiji gets the... | | |
| 10:40am | The Anime Apocalypse | | | | Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb internet. It’s all over. The end is nigh. Third Impact, Haruhimageddon, Heaven’s Gate, the Anti-Spiral Apocalypse, the Wrath of the Ohmu, the Coming of Akira - call it whatever you want, but the message is clear. It’s the end of the... | | |
| 6:17am | Fingerprinting Schmingerprinting, Japan Still Rocks | | | | Amidst all the furor over Japan’s newly implemented policy of fingerprinting every foreigner entering or leaving the country, as I was reading through the various comments on different blogs and news sites there was one particular type of reaction that stood out to me. Many people were making... |
| 2:00pm | I Am Boss! | | | | Minami-ke’s Kana-chan apparently thinks that she is boss. And certainly, in addition to frequently bending Chiaki to her will, she seems to have the show’s male cast pretty well under her thumb. What she does not realize, however, is that someone else has already laid claim to that title:... |

| 6:39am | Kaiji 06 | | | | ZAA PAY-PAAAH!* In gambling, even the best laid plans can go awry. Fortunately it seems as though Kaiji is pretty good at thinking on his feet. * Kudos if you get that reference.
