| 11:31pm | Top Picks – Spring 2009 Anime, Part 2: Genre and Misfit Awards | | | | As I’m writing this, I’m half-surprised to see no one mention a certain show not getting any awards and I’d be even more surprised after this part so I figured I should mention it’s lack of showing. The show in question is the Full Metal Alchemist remake. The reason why it hasn’t shown up... | | |

To help reach that point it... | | |
| 7:01am | Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou Series Review | | | | I continue trying to finish my winter season series reviews before the spring season ends with a review to the sequel of one of the best slice-of-life series in recent memory – Natsume Yuujinchou or Natsume’s Book of Friends. Before it started, I was a bit apprehensive; on one hand, I was excited... | | |
| 7:39am | Munto TV Series Review | | | | Munto TV is notable for a few reasons and it’s long actual name isn’t one of them (“Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Seikei”). The first is that it’s based on the Munto OVAs that are an original creation by Kyoto Animation. The second is that by running during the winter season of... | | |
| 7:08am | Paranoia Agent Series Review | | | | Paranoia Agent was my first experience with the master Satoshi Kon, though it wasn’t until later that I would connect the dots to his other work. This title earned a spot on my top 10 most influential anime post but I’ve been waiting to rewatch it till I could watch it with my sister (she was too... |

Video Is the Next Big Step in Anime | | | | Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Gainax has been one of the most important studios in anime for well over a decade.

| 7:42am | Summer 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | This seems to happen every time, just when I’m finally feel like I’ve got used to the season’s mix of shows, a new season comes along and offers a completely different set of shows to watch.At the start of the spring season, I was unsure if there’d be as many quality titles as the past several... | | |
| 6:44am | Is It Possible to Go Home Again? Or, My Thoughts on the New Haruhi Episode. | | | | A week ago, everyone and their brother was talking about Haruhi and there was good reason do so – the reairing of the first season of Haruhi included a completely new episode. This momentous occasion definitely deserved all the attention it received and I wanted to chip in but, at the time, it all... | | |
| 9:04pm | Milestone Reached – 250,000 Hits for The Null Set | | | | Back in January I celebrated my first year anniversary of The Null Set as well as reaching 100k hits on December 31, 2008. At that time I said I was blown away with getting 100k in under a year of blogging, and I still am, but I pondered if shooting for another 200k hits in 2009 was feasible. As you... |
| 7:00am | When an Anime Becomes a Keeper | | | | Probably due to crazy amount of work that’s always accompanies the end of school, I’ve noticed the pace of releases for several spring shows that I’ve been following has slowed. I’m not one of those people that get angry when a sub shows up “late” – I realize people have lives; however,... | | |
| 5:54am | Video Game Review – The Sims 3 | | | | I thought I’d do something different, a video game review. Anime and blogging have cut down how much time I devote to video games but I still dust off the controls and play games like Civilization 4 and Medieval 2: Total War.I was never a huge Sims player but I bought the first two Sims in part because... |
| 10:32am | Eden of the East – Thoughts and Speculations Through Episode 7 | | | | Frequent readers of The Null Set probably have probably noticed that amount of new posts have slowed a bit. This isn’t due to real life concerns or a lack of desire to continue blogging or even a diminished desire to watch anime but because I have so many ideas for posts and they are all tugging me... | | |
| 6:46am | Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 Series Review | | | | With spring impressions out of the way, I’ve got some time to finish up the previous season’s anime. First up is one of the best shows of the winter season, Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 but before we get there, I wanted to mention a couple new additions to my series review posts starting with this... | | |
