| 6:37pm | Shakugan no Shana movie: red eyes and tears | | | | Excuse my ignorance concerning the second and first seasons - that’s pretty much the point of this review. The Shakugan no Shana movie is, I’m guessing, a worthy companion piece for the series but I’ll leave that judgment for when I’ve got that far (and judging by the state of... | | |
| 3:30am | Speed Grapher - The End | | | | Speed Grapher’s been on my To Watch List for ages, sitting in the dark recesses of my external hard drive, waiting. When I pulled it out last night and decided, with intense determination, to plow through all twenty something episodes of the GONZO production, I really wasn’t sure what I... | | |
| 11:40am | Nominees in for ~Show with best character personalities~ Vote Now!! | | | | The last poll is up—please vote! I find it unsurprising that Lucky Star was nominated most, with a total of 7 nominations. Darker than BLACK followed with 5, while Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Death Note both had 3 each. I gotta vote Minami-ke though, since the three sisters, and later the three brothers…they’re... | | |
| 8:18am | Mike’s Winter 2008 Birthday Roundup: the Threes |  | | | Yes, dear readers–that’s your duty too! Because I don’t have time to write full entries tonight and because as of this posting, it’s also my birthday. Whee! Let’s celebrate with some brief thoughts on Rosario + Vampire, Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Persona: Trinity Soul, Clannad... | | |
| 5:20pm | Nominees in for ~Show with best character design style~ Vote Now!! | | | | Once again, please vote in the poll to the right-side of the blog. This time, it’s a question about which show you think has the best character designs (visually). My personal favourite would be sola, but only because of Matsuri. I’d have to say the same for the next poll as well (best character... | | |
| 12:23pm | Anime & Manga News (Dec. - early Jan.) | | | | A recent Business Week article noted the rising popularity of manga in Europe. The article concentrated on France, Germany, and a brief mention of Britain. It mentioned that readers are looking increasingly toward the east for their comics rather than the west. Svenja Malis, an 18-year old German... | | |

| 1:19pm | The Anime Blog Poll: Which Anime Are You Looking Forward to In 2008? | | | | A New Year means all new anime! There’s bound to be all sorts of good anime, bad anime, and downright god awful anime in 2008, just like every year. And there’s bound to be fans who know exactly what they’re wanting to see. I have yet to sit down and truly plan out which new 2008... | | |

| 7:30am | Engrish T-Shirts | | | | It’s been a while since our last humorous entry, and we haven’t talked about Japan much since our post about Junky Healthy Taco Rice and other fun Engrish stuff, so we thought a good way to kill two birds with one stone would be to show you guys some of the funny Engrish-style T-shirts those... | | |

| 1:11pm | Gunslinger Girl -IL TEATRINO- - Moefication | | | | Well, I’m not sure that I’ve ever been this unequivocally disappointed in an anime series ever before. Darker than Black last year was underwhelming but this shoddy, under-funded series is a backhand to the original series, which had high-quality animation, serious dramatic themes and a dark,... | | |

| 2:36am | Saigar Update: Group B Round 1 |  | | | We laughed, we cried (especially me when the first draft of this post was lost), Saigar continues. L (403) deduces his way to victory against Ito Makoto (269) and Graham Acre (377). Personally, I’ve never seen L do anything remotely GAR. He lost to Light, the most obvious villain ever, while eating... | | |
