| 7:59am | The Final Day of Christmas 2008 - taking aim at 2009 | | | | “But your poorly-crafted charm of endless night That’s no match for my power controlling eternity. The dawn is getting closer. This is the end of your imperishable night Now the dawn will come!!” Well, all good, bad, and tl;dr things must come to an end, right? It’s New Year’s... | | |
| 11:40pm | Aria the Animation: Episode 6 | | | | With Athena, it’s hard to tell whether she’s extremely spacy, or autistic. If she’s always spaced out, does this mean she really has a lot on her mind all the time, so much so that she often fails to notice things going on around her? The theme of the episode resolved around the spacy... | | |
| 5:12am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Happy Action Fun Time |  | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs Part 3: Fun Phrases Part 4: Scintillating Soundtracks And so I finish with moments that made an impact on me in some way, shape or form. It makes me realize just how much has gone on this year that’s been interesting and fun to keep... | | |
| 4:50am | Dreams of the Year Behind: 2008 | | | | 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 Season For my considerations,... | | |
| 5:51am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Scintillating Soundtracks | | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs Part 3: Fun Phrases Unlike the openings and closings of anime this year, good standalone series soundtracks (that is, good in my subjective lack of taste sense) have been hard to find for me, which is a little sad. That said, there were some... | | |

| 5:05am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Fun Phrases | | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs There are some phrases said that just stick in my memory long after they’ve been said in anime. Those or phrases that are interesting enough, absurd enough, thought-provoking enough, or awesome enough (the latter makes up the majority... | | |
| 9:40pm | The 15th Day of Christmas 2008 - Club Nayuki | | | | “Club Nayuki” is this hip imaginary place in my head, a VIP locale for some of the underdog, underloved, or underrated characters in anime. Christened after a certain Miss Minase who gained quite the following in the great battle of Kanon, it’s a place I often reference when referring... | | |
| 8:59pm | Jonathan Tappan on Aria (the Animation) |  | | | His reviews are noted for sharp wit that makes me laugh hard (not sure if it’s intentional): Oddly, the inhabitants of Neo Venezia seem to be predominantly Japanese. Or maybe that isn’t so odd. If the real Venice were to sink into the mud, who would be more likely to create a replica as a tourist... | | |
| 4:49pm | Anime 2008: A year in review | | | | How the hell am I supposed to open this post? I’m talking about every single anime in 2008, the best and the worst in every category. I haven’t seen everything this year obviously, such as Aria, ef, Shigofumi and DMC, but I’ve had a chance to check out pretty much everything else. Anyway,... | | |

Thus, I am very proud to present to you the 13th Annual Epic Win Best of the Year Anime Award Show, where the awards are made up and the points don’t... | | |
| 5:05am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Awesome OPs/EDs | | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People This year was insane with the amount of anime openings and endings that I liked, and it was hard to narrow down the amount to a “reasonable” number so I didn’t really attempt to. But these ones here (coupled with Youtube videos) are the ones that... | | |
| 8:23am | The 13th Day of Christmas 2008 - and the rest… | | | | “Well, I’m no demon. I’ll play with you until morning.” Yeah, those of you who know me from last year know I’m not much for stopping at just 12 Days of nonstop posting. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m cocky and want to see how far I can push myself. Maybe I’m... | | |
| 5:24am | Merry Christmas Once Again from Epic Win | | | | みんなメリークリスマ ス! Merry Christmas everyone! I hope Santa Claus brought you all lots of rare figures and doujinshi and moe goodness this yuletide season. Alas, I didn’t get any of those, even though I went so far as to leave a tray of mochi and a box of Pocky out by the fireplace... | | |
| 11:48pm | Update on the ARIA Bookmarks |  | | | Yosh! Collection Completed!Nine months ago, I had received one of my most cherished acquisitions, the complete ARIA manga collection, the Cielo Artbook plus the third ARIA Posterbook. On top of that, the mangas all came with a special ARIA bookmark. But sadly, I got too many doubles (3x Akira, 2x Alice,... | | |
