| 5:51pm | New Poll Question - Top Show of 2008 | | | | Before I put up my top picks of 2008, I wanted to know what the readers of The null set thought was the best show of 2008. I tried to include as many shows as possible but it turns out there’s a limit to how many choices you can have before the background of the poll gets messed up. So, I... | | |
| 12:00pm | Winter Anime Impressions – Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou | | | | The other winter title that I was really looking forward to was the second season of Natsume’s Book of Friends. The fall season lacked a quality slice-of-life show so I’ve been literally hungry for the return of Natsume and Nyanko-sensei.Rating: 12/12 PerfectI didn’t think Brain’s Base would... |
| 7:34am | Winter Anime Impressions – Minami-Ke: Okaeri | | | | Asread animation studio has been raked over the coals by much of the anime fandom for their lackluster second series of Minami-Ke because it couldn’t compete with Studio Doumu’s first season. I think much of the vitriol was uncalled for because the second season was still better then most of the... | | |
| 8:57am | Weekly Anime Review (Dec. 22 – Jan 4) | | | | Our lovable Corpse Princess as a baby.And just like that, the book closes on the fall season and 2008.Back at the start of the fall season, early October, the trees where just starting to change colors and it was still possible to walk around outside in shorts. Now at the end of the season, coats are... | | |
| 8:51am | Yozakura Quartet Series Review | | | | The next fall series I finished watching was Yozakura Quartet.Way back when I wrote my review of the first episode, I mentioned that the show didn’t do anything that really left an impression on me – positive or negative. Now that it’s done, the question becomes, was the show able to become memorable... | | |
| 8:00am | Ga:Rei-Zero Series Review | | | | I just wanted to give a heads-up, my weekly anime review that was due on Wednesday will be combined into next weeks’ – I’ve been playing way too much Harvest Moon: TOT for the wii.Sometimes a show’s creators are really willing to take a risk. When it works, it really works but if it doesn’t,... | | |
| 7:41am | Kemeko DX Series Review | | | | As a sidenote, this blog reached 100,000 hits on New Year’s Eve. A reflection and celebration would be appropriate but my 1 year anniversary is in a few weeks so I’ll just roll the two together. A quick thanks to everyone that helped this blog reach this level by commenting and reading.Going into... | | |
| 8:01am | Top Five Anime for Fall 2008 | | | | I’ve been reluctant to post my top 5 shows for the fall season for various reasons but with the first of season’s shows ending – it’s time. One of the reasons for the delay was that this has been a good season for anime and it made it hard to whittle the list down to just five. Another reason... | | |
| 2:36am | Weekly Anime Review (Dec. 15 – Dec. 21) | | | | I’m got a few hours before I have to worry about Santa showing up so lets try getting my weekly anime review written today.

| 12:03am | Soul Eater Wallpaper 3 | | | | I was looking at my computer desktop last night and realized I needed something new. After looking around at what I had on hand, I ended making more Soul Eater wallpapers. For some reason, it’s easy to find lots of nice artwork from that show. If you’ve looked at my other wallpaper, you’ll... | | |
| 9:02am | Anime for the Science Fiction Fan | | | | Ask a fan of science fiction (as defined as someone who reads science fiction) what they would like to see more of in the genre and one popular answer might be more quality SF on television. There is a limit to how often a person can rewatch the same few shows like Firefly, Stargate, and Twilight Zone... | | |
| 9:00pm | Weekly Anime Review (Dec. 8 – Dec. 14) | | | | One of the lighter weeks in terms of number of episodes that I watched in a long while but the over quality was still very high. What made it feel even less was that almost half of the new anime I watched this week (Index, Toradora, Soul Eater, Xam’d, Clannad) was watched with my sister. Since we... | | |
| 1:39am | Winter 2009 Update - KyoAni’s Munto TV series: Now, Not Later | | | | Like the title says, it know appears that KyoAni’s Munto TV series, aka Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai, will be starting January 14 and not in the spring.

| 7:20pm | Blog Updates and Poll Question - What’s Your Monitor’s Resolution? | | | | Firstly, I’m considering tweaking the layout to this site. I like the layout a lot as is but I think the area where the posts are is too narrow - currently the width is about 450 pixels. I’d like to bump that up to around maybe 600 pixels in width and also I’d like to widen my sidebars... |
