| 8:59pm | Chara Design of the Week: Kawazoe Tamaki from Bamboo Blade | | | | Tama-chan's personality is not easy to define. At first, she seems like the usual emotionally distant silent girl (a la Rei) but she is really more comparable to Ruri-chan from the very similar anime, Martian Successor Nadesico. Tama-chan really isn't distant on purpose, she just doesn't exactly grasp... | | |

| 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:... | | |
| 7:25am | Shikabane Hime: Aka 08 |  | | | Summary: Ouri calls up Sumitori and puts him on speaker phone; the sound of Sumitori’s voice and the memories of Bamboo Blade are too much for Mitsuyoshi, and he drops his shikabane form. This allows Minai to take Mitsuyoshi out without taking damage from his curse. Minai is pretty pleased... | | |
| 5:35pm | 2008 Was So-So | | | | In terms of the anime year, the anime released for 2008 was subpar. It does not compare to the ever excellent 2007, simply one year ago! As per usual, Anime-Source is planning the end of the year survey. I’ve been brainstorming on what I might select, but from all possible titles, he “best”... | | |
| 8:28am | Kannagi - Enjoyable but nothing to write home about | | | | Crying animu. Kannagi started out fine but got old fast. I believe there was a lot of wasted possible potential namely with its side characters. It turned into a weak harem show which then tried to be DERP but only became angsty and emo. I don’t know how I stuck with it to the end to be honest.... | | |

| 3:01pm | New Years posts - They’re overrated and cliche - Looking back on 2008 | | | | HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ended up watching more in 2008 than in 2007, but not by much. Most of it is just due to tie in movies and what not, but still watching more and is watching more of it so I cannot complain. I still haven’t reached my goal of watching 100 or more shows in a year,... | | |
| 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,... | | |

| 9:32am | When I can love myself, I can love anime - Anime BANZAI | | | | I think we all need that reminder now and then that anime is cool and fun to watch. I don’t know about other people but I consider anime a luxury even if I haven’t bought a single DVD since 2001. It is just that enjoying anime and really liking it is tied to so many different other conditions... | | |
| 9:34pm | Kagami Claims Saimoe Supremacy | | | | Hiiragi Kagami, alias HIIRAGIIIII, has emerged as the winner of 2008’s Anime Saimoe tournament. All the more impressive was that her victory was over her own sister Tsukasa, in what is sure to remembered as a fierce battle where blood was not thicker than moe. Kagami’s status as the Moest... | | |
| 11:19pm | Minor Thoughts on the End of Saimoe 2008 | | | | With this year’s SaiMoe tournament at an end, it looks as if Kagami is the superior Hiiragi twin. Although I am happy that Kagami beat Tsukasa I am a little bit disappointed with this year’s event as a whole. For one the top eight consisted of characters from only a total of 4 series; CLANNAD... | | |
