| 1:00pm | My top five, aka the Special A |  | | | I previously mentioned four other shows in my “Special A” list (still thinking of a better name), an exclusive group of meaningful anime. Now that I think about it, I suppose it’s kind of like Jeff Lawson’s list of favorite anime. I just thought I’d list the other four... | | |
| 11:05pm | The 2 year marathon. |  | | | It’s been two years. The blog has been running for two whole years (apologies for the pun). So what now?To be honest through out the whole of year two, it has not been as eventful as the previous, at least in terms of number of posts. But I have to say, I had a lot of fun writing some of the posts... | | |
| 6:02pm | Piano 01-03 |  | | | Comparing Piano to Narue turned out to be a mistake. If anything, it’s more like Aria. Every one of the first three episodes ends with Miu saying, “this day sucked so bad, but it was wonderful anyway.” I like the designs. And there was no dumb garbage like wind in space with pantsu.... | | |
| 8:26pm | Aria the Animation: Episode 11 | | | | If Aria: The Animation were a novel, it would be difficult to fit in an interlude with the pasts of Alicia, Akira, and Athena. It would disrupt the flow of the story. The same goal as it pertains to the current Singles could be reached without flashing back in time. It’s funny how a series... | | |

| 3:51pm | My Blogger Harem | | | | Hinano delighted many with her eroge, which featured a number of female anibloggers, including herself, mainly because it pandered to the perversions inquisitive minds of the community, but above all else, the idea of portraying the people behind their online handles in two dimensions was a novel one,... | | |
| 12:00am | Before I Knew it, I Became a Gundam Fanboy | | | | In this post I reflect on some stardust memories. I was a mecha fan before I was an anime fan (if that’s even possible), but I’ve only become a fan of Gundam sometime after I started writing here in October of last year. It doesn’t mean that I love Macross less, there’s just... | | |
| 2:58pm | CNY Cleaning PC Games | | | | Its the Year of the OX and time to do a little spring cleaning. I recently discoverd that I have kept quite a bunch of game boxes from early PC games. I used to game a lot on PC Win95 WinNT and Win XP. I managed to snap a few photos of my favorite boxes before throwing them out for recycling. ... | | |
| 8:53pm | President Aria | | | | Aria the Natural, episodes 1-13, arrived in the mail today. I wondered if I’d get more postcards that I’d do nothing with. Instead, RightStuf! had a different treat in store for me. Even though I’m only a fair number of steps above amatuer at it, I love taking photographs, and photographing... | | |
| 8:25pm | A Yuri Epiphany, Podcasts Ship | | | | It took me nearly 3 years to realize why Simoun is so awesome. Partly because I had to borrow something that didn’t exist until just recently. It is Marimite plus Macross Frontier. I was going to talk about yuri but I think talking about Simoun is just a lot more fun for me. And maybe for you,... | | |
| 6:48pm | Avvenire - a quick look. |  | | | Just got back home from university and going to leave in a few hours to Manchester and since I am heading straight back to my Halls after the trip I probably won’t get to go home for another while. So, let’s take a quick look at Avvenire, the Aria artbook published last year on Christmas... | | |
| 9:46pm | Top Seiyuus of 2008 -- Poll Results | | | | Koshimizu Ami's Horo in Spice & Wolf was the top lead female seiyuu performance of 2008. That's what your votes said. And that's what I thought, too.Male lead: Fukuyama Jun (Lelouche in Code Geass)Supporting female: Horie Yui (Minori in Toradora)Supporting male: Kamiya Hiroshi (Michel in Macross... | | |
