Congrats to Eva and Biribiri. Next set of matches, I want to see Shiho win but have to face reality. Meh, I just have to believe! Oh, and there’s also some girl named Haruhi up next. C’mon Ritsu!

So just when you think K-ON was having a bad Saimoe year, two characters from the series advance on the same day. Unfortunately Index had to lose in the first round. Maybe if all those votes for Kaori went to her instead nevermind. Azunyan is just as nice. And Taiga...

I think. Emphases ‘base’.Like many people, I started watching anime seriously when Evangelion was out on VHS. (That was ‘99 in NA, i believe) But the last 4 episodes where so confusing/convoluted/stupid that I was all “WTF”....

The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this...

It was of course obvious that I was going to end up blogging this one, since I really like Bee-Train’s...

First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... Sun, 29 Mar 2009 18:50:00 GMT http://aloedream.animeblogger.net/archives/266 http://aloedream.animeblogger.net/archives/266 Ah, and good. After all the reflections [optional RSS], I am not sure what else to say about this delightful series. It was a lot of smiles, some doki-doki, delicious characters, and finished clean.I haven’t necessarily changed my thoughts on the nostalgia of it all, and I may never rewatch it,...

I've actually gotten pretty tired of bullying as a plot device because it's always the same damn thing. However, I was watching Great Teacher Onizuka,...

As such I’m going all out to clear my mind of this cancer that has been infecting it yet again...

I pushed my watching of many of the new winter shows into the current week so I could try to finish a few lingering shows of 2008 I wanted to get too before 2009 started. I was only partially successful, Shigofumi got watched finally but I still want to get...

The only requirement is that they premiered in 2008 (sorry Shion and CLANNAD EDs!).  I’m also judging it more on the song than the animation of the ED. In any case, let’s get to it#10...

In the year of 2008, there was quite many hits and misses. There’s no in-betweens, no so-sos, no kindas, sortas, or littles. Well maybe but I’d...

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:03:06 GMT http://aloedream.animeblogger.net/archives/241 http://aloedream.animeblogger.net/archives/241 In light of the approaching New Year, it is once again time for year-end reflections. Do we wonder if 2008 was a good year for anime? Without a doubt, 2008 was no 2007, yet there was an abundance of good in 2008. Where did 2008 win, and why will I remember this year in anime?In the SeasonFor my considerations,...
