| 8:09am | Recent AMV Favorites | | | | Sturgeon’s Law would dictate that only 10% of AMVs are actually good enough to be worth defending. That’s a bit too pessimistic for me but I definitely think the vast majority are merely decent (including the AMV I made and is currently being blocked by Youtube). However, in the right hands, the... | | |
| 6:22pm | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 26 – Feb 8) | | | | There goes that New Year’s resolution for The Null Set – no more missing a week and having to do a biweekly anime review. On the plus side, I should have plenty to talk about. As a total aside, as I’m typing this up I wonder if other people have specific music they listen to when they have to... | | |
| 8:20am | Winter Anime Impressions – Meta Post | | | | Since my winter anime impressions were spread out over the past few weeks I thought it would be a good idea to combine the scores all in on place (and sort by their score) and link back to the individual entries so in case you missed one you could find it easier. Plus give any final thoughts on the... | | |
| 3:33am | Winter Anime Impressions – Kemono no Souja Erin | | | | I think this will be the last of the winter shows that I’m going to get to. This was another show that really peaked my interest. The author of the source material is the same person who wrote Seirei no Moribito and the animation house is again Production I.G. Rating: episode 1 – 9/12 A- Rating:... | | |
| 6:42pm | Winter Anime Impressions – Hetalia Axis Powers | | | | Because of some presumptive complaining, Hetalia Axis Powers had it’s television run canceled. The bruha-ha helped ensure that when this series was released over the net, even more people would watch. Which is what happened, the website hosting this show crashed from the high demand. I can’t help... |
| 3:38pm | Winter Anime Impressions – Genji Monogatari Sennenki or A Tale of Genji | | | | Now that I finished up with my look back at 2008, it’s time to get back to the current season with a few more anime first impressions. The first is from one of the shows I was looking forward to, Genji. This is based off of the world’s first novel, it’s a thousand years old and considered a... |
| 8:32am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 7: Top Anime #5 - #1 | | | | If Kure-nai hadn't flubbed it's ending so badly, it might have made the listWe’re finally here, the last part of my reflection on the best anime of 2008 – the top 5 anime. If you’ve looked at the other parts then this list probably won’t be much of a shock so let’s not waste anymore... | | |
| 8:28am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 6: Top Anime #10 - #6 | | | | Only a month later then just about everyone else .I thought 2008 was another very solid year of anime, with good shows to be found in most, if not all, major genre types. The fact that I became an anime blogger this year pushed me to watch more shows then I would have otherwise and I was rewarded... | | |
| 10:41pm | Kyoto Animation’s New Spring Anime or We’re Still Waiting for Haruhi Season 2 | | | | Official Site I thought the announcement of a new season of Haruhi starting this April sounded a bit unbelievable. A couple of days before the mis-interpreted news broke about the first season of Haruhi being replayed starting in April, I came across this site mentioning Kyoto Animation was going... | | |
| 8:02am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 5: Memorable Moments and Favorite Episodes | | | | Last year I had a single award given to the most memorable moment of 2007. It went to episode 10 of Manabi Straight when it’s revealed that the school festival will be held. This year, I wanted to go a little further in depth to spotlight my favorite episodes and memorable moments. Since I don’t... | | |
| 2:14am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 4: Music, Voice, and Animation Awards | | | | This show had one of the best pure filler episodes of the year.Or if I rearranged the words, the VMA Awards or the AMV Awards . It is certainly possible for an anime show to be good or at least watchable without stellar music, voice acting, or animation; however, it does definitely help. For example,... | | |
| 8:42pm | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 19 – Jan 25) | | | | Let me slip in my weekly anime review before getting back to my top anime picks of 2008.A relatively light week of anime this week, due in part from not watching any last or first episodes. I still plan on getting to a few more of the winter seasons shows like Genji, Kemono no Souja Erin, and Hetalia... | | |
| 8:52am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 3: Genre Awards | | | | Soldiering on, this next set of awards cover some of the many different types of anime out there. I enjoy many of these types of anime and this sometimes leads to odd pairings; for example, I remember watching Kaiba and Maid Guy back-to-back on several occasions. There are a few categories you won’t... | | |
| 6:15pm | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 2: Cast and Assorted Awards | | | | I should make a "Cutest Character of 2008" category so I could give him an award. Part 2 is somewhat of a mishmash of awards. I started out just having multi-character awards but while figuring out where everything went I realized I needed a spot to place various awards that didn’t fit... | | |
| 6:00am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 1: Character Awards | | | | I start with the character awards partly because I feel once a show establishes a great cast of characters then it’s 70% of the way to ensuring that I’ll like it. And it doesn’t matter what type of show, any show can be improved with good character development.Best Female Main Character Winner:... | | |
