| 7:00pm | Twelve favorite posts of 2008: #11 My failure of a podcast |  | | | This is day two of a twelve day series of posts. These are not in any particular order of preference. These posts are simply what I enjoyed reading this year. You could kind of count this in CCY’s Twelve Moments of Anime 2008 project. During the end of summer, I thought about starting a podcast.... | | |
| 1:00pm | Twelve moments in anime 2008: #11 Detroit Metal City 07 | | | | Part two of twelve in my part of CCY’s Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 project. These posts are not really in any particular order. The last two moments probably have the most intentional placement. This post also contains spoilers. After lolikitsune had watched ef - a tale of melodies 06, he proceeded... | | |
| 5:48am | Learning Japanese - any suggestions? | | | | Short and simple: I want to learn Japanese again, but I don’t have the resources to pay for a class. I did take Japanese in freshman and sophomore years, but I don’t remember that much other than my hiragana and some words. If anyone in the blogosphere has learned Japanese (or most likely... |
| 6:56pm | Twelve favorite posts of 2008: #1 LianYL’s True Tears analysis | | | | I was thinking about making a single post with all twelve of my favorite posts of the anime blogosphere in 2008, but I realized I couldn’t think of all twelve yet so I had to settle with this. At least it gives me time to find more posts that I liked. This is day one of a twelve day series of... | | |
| 10:05am | Twelve moments in anime 2008: #12 ef - a tale of melodies 07 | | | | Part one of twelve in my part of CCY’s Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 project. These posts are not really in any particular order. The last two moments probably have the most intentional placement. This post also contains spoilers. ef - a tale of memories is still the only SHAFT show I’ve... | | |
| 3:00pm | Spell my name correctly: “IcyStorm” | | | | I think this is an important issue to address. This is like lolikitsune’s need for lowercasing of the “L.” “IcyStorm” is one word, and the “I” and the “S” are capitalized. Yes: IcyStorm No: Icystorm Icy Storm Icy storm Icystrum Icy Strom IcyStrom... |
| 7:15am | To Heart is rather boring | | | | I don’t think anyone considers To Heart amazing or a must watch. Perhaps it’s simply because of age, but To Heart simply doesn’t work its magic as a eroge adaptation (not that I’ve played the game) or a slice of life show. After watching other slice of life shows, I find To Heart... | | |
| 12:10am | Need bloggers for best anime of 2008 roundtable | | | | Reading through a GamesRadar article about the best co-op title, I thought a similar format could work for anime. We’re nearing the end of the year, so why not a series of roundtable discussions on 2008 anime? Ten of the most acclaimed and popular anime shows can be chosen and a small group of... | | |
| 7:00am | [Breakfast Talk] Your system of choice? | | | | Simple question. What is your system of choice for this generation? Is it the Nintendo Wii with its revolutionary Wii remote, the Microsoft Xbox 360 and its fabulous online service, or the Sony PlayStation 3 for its great media-playing capabilities? Perhaps you’re not into the consoles at all... |
| 10:12pm | Retagging and recategorizing | | | | The bulk of my posts have had their tags and categories removed. I’m in the process of reorganizing everything. I should also change the search function; I want it to search MY blog, not ANN or MAL. The process isn’t done yet. I’ll finish it by tomorrow afternoon. But for now, off... |
| 9:25pm | A desire to see snow and perhaps sorrow | | | | Kanon is still my favorite of the three (or four?) Key adaptations that Kyoto Animation have done. I believe Clannad is superior in its themes, and the protagonist’s growth as a person far exceeds the development of Yuuichi and Yukito. However, there is one particular thing in Kanon that really... | | |
| 7:59am | IcyStorm and lolikit discuss ef - a tale of melodies 07 | | | | Read our lovely, intelligent discussion regarding ef - a tale of melodies 07.TL;DR WARNING jicystorm 10:10:49 pm: did you watch melo 07? — lolikitsune 10:10:55 pm: no — jicystorm 10:11:00 pm: well regardless — lolikitsune 10:11:02 pm: i want to watch it when i’m more awake —... | | |
| 10:51pm | The best part of Scott’s yaoi post | | | | Scott of Anime Almanac just read a yaoi manga by the title of Gerard & Jacques. In some kind of agreement with Reverse Thieves, he agreed to dive into a manga from a genre he wasn’t comfortable with (in this case, yaoi) while the Reverse Thieves guys read a couple of volumes of everyone’s... | | |
| 5:30am | Naming my electronics; am I alone in this? | | | | I love gadgets and electronics. Playing around with them, tinkering with their settings, hacking them - you get the idea. I love them so much that I take the time to name each of them. My desktop compy is named Jessica, my iPod touch is named Vanessa, my Xbox 360 is named Yuki, and my old Nokia 6215i... |
| 7:25am | Do you have real life friends that are otaku? | | | | Most friends tend to have similar interests, whether they are fashion trends, video games, music, whatever. Judging by the anime blogosphere and perhaps fandom in general, many anime fans have friends that also watch anime. While that is also true for me, the majority of my closest friends do not share... | | |
