| 8:07am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 0: Introduction and the Anti-Awards | | | | It’s finally time for me to write up my favorites and top picks in anime for 2008. Between waiting for some series to finish, wanting to marathon a couple of missed series, and catching the new season of anime – I didn’t have the room in my writing time to do this until now. I also wanted to be... | | |
| 12:16am | Harima, WTF!? | | | | One of the great tragedies, or at least inconveniences, in life is not being able to choose who you’re attracted to. You like who you like, but damn Harima, Tenma? How can you just not see the awesomeness of Eri? Or anyone else in the show not named Tenma for that matter. At least his blindness... | | |

| 4:09pm | Jigoku Shoujo - 68 | | | | Short Synopsis: Yuzuki continues to try and prevent people from pulling the string without much success. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent) Haha! Another excellent episode this time. This series’ finale promises to become better than the two previous seasons, if it’s already this... | | |
| 3:10pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 16 | | | | Short Synopsis: Senkawa&co visit a refugee camp for a school project. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 (Awesome) ZOMG, is this really the same Birdy the Mighty as the first season? That first season was a nice series and all, but the teen-aged romances got into the way, with especially Senkawa... | | |
| 6:49pm | Shikabane Hime - 17 | | | | Short Synopsis: Sougi and Itsuki tell about their background. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent) Now this is more like it! This is exactly the reason why I came to like the first season so much, and I’m glad to see that the second season is going to be more than a weak sequel of the first.... | | |
| 5:10pm | Winter Anime Impressions – Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 | | | | The first season of Birdy was one of the highlights of the summer. It wasn’t perfect but it did an excellent job in developing the story and it’s animation was above average bordering on great. I’m hoping that A-1 Pictures received a little more money to do this season because that might be all... | | |
| 12:00pm | Winter Anime Impressions – Shikabane Hime: Kuro | | | | The second season of Shikabane Hime started the week after the first season ended with a different set of animators, much like the second season of Minami-ke. I’m hoping desperately with this recipe for a better result then what we got with Minami-ke.Rating: 7/12 BI’ll keep the story recap light... | | |
| 3:27am | Autumn '08 Reviews | | | | Better late then never the autumn season restored my lost interest to anime. From the harrowing experience of Ga-Rei and ef to the insanity of Macademi and Kemeko to the vanilla-taste of Yozakura and Kannagi, oh I shouldn't forget Chäos;HEAd. Also several other shows continue into the winter, namely... | | |
| 10:10pm | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 16 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natori returns and invites Natsume to a hot spring? Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent) Best episode of the second season so far! This most likely is because it involves a recurring character again: Natori, and indeed confirmed my suspicion that the best part of the second season... | | |
| 3:58pm | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 15 | | | | Short Synopsis: Birdy meets her childhood friend again. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 (Awesome) Whoa! I somewhat expected that the second season would be better than the first, but such a huge difference in quality, I never saw coming. The first two episodes were quiet and set up the basic premise... | | |
| 6:43pm | Shikabane Hime - 16 | | | | Short Synopsis: Ouri continues with his training to not die. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 (Enjoyable) The fanservice. wtf This series was supposed to be subtle. What the heck is up with the new ED? Why does the first scene of this episode start with a naked Makina? Seriously, I don’t mind a... | | |
| 10:57am | The post for the study of the adaptation of visual media | | | | Or just another post with scattered thoughts comparing the Genshiken manga and anime. Manga and anime spoilers abound. Fateful Encounter. In the manga, we were not shown how Saki and Kousaka met in university. The anime opened with her trying to pick him up but then having him recognize her as a childhood... | | |
| 4:56am | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 5 – Jan 11) | | | | A very light week of anime this week for me. 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... | | |
| 12:00am | Toradora: Slice of Life Frontier | | | | We Remember Love has lavished attention on Toradora! I think it’s the anime that has gotten more attention here aside from Macross and Gundam. I’ve even been one of the few fans that have taken Kitamura seriously. In the most recent episodes (13 and 14) Toradora! I believe has elevated... | | |
