| 3:46pm | Hi, who likes Kanon and has 2 minutes to spare? | | | | http://www.internationalsaimoe .com/voting/ At the rate things are going, I don’t think I can have pretenses any more. Maybe you’ve read my previous post trying to hype Shiori Misaka of Kanon for ISML 2009. I’ve decided to do all I can to help her for one round, and anything I do,... | | |
| 11:55pm | Moe Makes You Crazy (a.k.a. the Shiori Misaka post) | | | | (Hey, if you don’t have the time to read a 1000-word post filled with passion and energy, that’s cool. Just click here to jump to my main message, and it’ll all be good. It’ll make a lot more sense if you read the whole article, but I just need a little favor, real quick. If... | | |
| 3:29am | New Blog Launch: Saimoe is very serious! | | | | As you remember, I was more than non-trivially fervent about J-Saimoe this past fall, and with the kicking into gear of the International Saimoe League over the last few weeks with their preliminary rounds, I’ve got Write a Lot of Overanalytical Stuff Over Mostly Useless Popularity (But Really... |
| 9:26pm | Speculating on the Spectacle of the Bespectacled Girl | | | | Glasses on a girl are not always a plus. But they are never a minus. Sometimes I wonder what kind of reputation I have around the otakusphere. The taste for harem shows that I developed early in my anime-viewing career, starting with Key’s crying shows and fluff-drama pieces like Shuffle and... | | |
| 5:38am | White Album is the worst kind of anime | | | | I hate White Album. It is going to cause me lots of pain and I know it. First off, the art style. The character design and animation by itself is passable and decently good-looking, and like the direction of the story, strongly reminiscent of True Tears. But the art direction otherwise, makes me wonder... | | |
| 7:39am | Podcast it Red: Maria+Holic Episode 1 from me and the SuperFani crew | | | | “Please dim the lights after all, it is my first time.” After three failed attempts (and one viewing of the final episode of Kannagi in a moving car, having not seen past episode 4 previously), I finally manage to bring my awkwardly sarcastic (and as we learn, sadistic) wit aboard what... | | |
| 7:59am | The Final Day of Christmas 2008 - taking aim at 2009 | | | | “But your poorly-crafted charm of endless night That’s no match for my power controlling eternity. The dawn is getting closer. This is the end of your imperishable night Now the dawn will come!!” Well, all good, bad, and tl;dr things must come to an end, right? It’s New Year’s... | | |
| 8:00am | The 18th Day of Christmas 2008 - resolving resolutions | | | | Well, one year ago I made a bunch of New Year’s Resolutions of sorts, in terms of anime viewing, as to what I definitely most absolutely must had to see (or experience, or rave about, in a few cases) over the next 12 months. And while it’s apparent that the last year in the anime fandom... | | |
| 8:00am | The 17th Day of Christmas 2008 - time for a cup of tea | | | | Part 17 in the 12 Moments in Anime Countdown So I redid the quotes for probably 90% of the rotating blogroll. Today was kind of a day devoted to you guys out there in the otakusphere. A meta day. So here’s to you, Mr. (Ms.) Crazy Anime Blogger. For all the time you’ve put into your passion,... | | |

| 9:40pm | The 15th Day of Christmas 2008 - Club Nayuki | | | | “Club Nayuki” is this hip imaginary place in my head, a VIP locale for some of the underdog, underloved, or underrated characters in anime. Christened after a certain Miss Minase who gained quite the following in the great battle of Kanon, it’s a place I often reference when referring... | | |

| 8:23am | The 13th Day of Christmas 2008 - and the rest… | | | | “Well, I’m no demon. I’ll play with you until morning.” Yeah, those of you who know me from last year know I’m not much for stopping at just 12 Days of nonstop posting. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m cocky and want to see how far I can push myself. Maybe I’m... | | |
| 8:00am | Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 - #01: KimiKiss 24 | | | | Well, one year of anime fandom and insanity all, subjectively, comes down to this. With the gravity I’ve created for a situation like this, somewhat on purpose, somewhat or not, I suppose I should look back a bit on how this little ‘project’ (as I speak with my evil-genius mentality)... | | |
