| 6:45pm | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 15 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume teams up with a bunny-youkai in order to get rid of an evil spirit. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) It’s really good to see this series back again, and I’m interested whether the second season will be able to top the first season. Unlike shows as Shikabane... | | |
| 7:34am | Winter Anime Impressions – Minami-Ke: Okaeri | | | | Asread animation studio has been raked over the coals by much of the anime fandom for their lackluster second series of Minami-Ke because it couldn’t compete with Studio Doumu’s first season. I think much of the vitriol was uncalled for because the second season was still better then most of the... | | |
| 12:43am | The 512,000th ‘Genshiken Was Awesome’ post on the interwebs | | | | I caught the first season of Genshiken in late 2004/early 2005 and enjoyed it. But it didn’t strike me as awesome. It didn’t exactly leave a strong impression on me; I had forgotten what happened in the first season by the time the three bridging OVAs and second season aired in late 2006... | | |
| 5:11pm | The music of D.C.if (Da Capo if) - The magic restored | | | | Inspired by the numerous comparisons of D.C.if’s end scene to a similar one in DCIISS, I revisited Oto-nee goodness in DCIISS 12. It was TERRIFIC. I remember again why I had betrayed my imouto-roots to band behind Otome. I remember why I’ll be getting the DCIISS DVDs. But I also remembered... | | |
| 3:00pm | Shikabane Hime - 15 | | | | Short Synopsis: Makina again gets the chance to meet the ones who killed her. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7.5/10 (Good) Whoa, there surely have been some changes between the first and second season. Some were expected, others not, and both seasons now have their own advantages and disadvantages. Thankfully... | | |
| 2:28am | D.C.if ~Da Capo if~ 01 |  | | | Whoa, this OVA was so not what I expected. I thought it’d be a lighthearted romp through the Da Capo world again, but it turns out to be something like D.C.II.S.S. instead. For starters, yes, this is a Kotori End OVA, but guess how they’re making it happen? .. ..they killed off Nemu.... | | |
| 8:12pm | Minami-ke: Welcome Back #01 — He’s a Witch! | | | | Burn the witch! Impressions: No real surprises with this one. I enjoyed the first two seasons, and I’m sure I’ll like the third. Unfortunately, while there’s always quite a bit to talk about, there remains very little substantive to be actually say, especially after 20 some odd... | | |
| 5:58am | My 5 favorite anime of 2008 |  | | | Although I only had time to watch a small handful of all the anime that aired in 2008, I enjoyed pretty much all the ones I watched. But of course, while some simply came and went, there were a few that really stood out and reminded me why I like anime so much. So I decided to kick off the new year... | | |
| 10:44am | Vampire Knight Guilty Ep 13- Why? WHY? Why does it have to end like this? |  | | | Zero comes to Yuki’s rescue. No, he won’t be taking any girls with him. I swear that this is going to be my very LAST post of 2008 and the FIRST post of 2009. Please bear with it. Argstupid. Baka Zero. Kaname just have to play mastermind and controls Zero like his worthless chess pawn in... | | |
| 8:00am | The 18th Day of Christmas 2008 - resolving resolutions | | | | Well, one year ago I made a bunch of New Year’s Resolutions of sorts, in terms of anime viewing, as to what I definitely most absolutely must had to see (or experience, or rave about, in a few cases) over the next 12 months. And while it’s apparent that the last year in the anime fandom... | | |
| 7:00am | Reverse Vampire’s Top 10 Anime Shows (And YES, the list is biased) |  | | | CCS, anyone? The New Year has arrived! To end of 2008 (With so many ups and downs) and hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone living in this planet. Economy crisis, natural disasters, political crisis and global warming, GO AWAY! (Well, except for global warning. You can’t get rid of that.)... | | |
| 3:18am | Ef:cross medium review extravaganza! | | | | let’s go in Chronological order. A while ago (a few months before the first season aired, I think), I stumbled across this little game called Ef the first tale. With it, I was disappointed beyond words. Naru Nanao’s soft and bright art turned stark and cold, Tenmon’s captivating music... | | |
| 9:59am | Junjo Romantica 2 Review - 75/100 | | | | Junjo Romantica: it may have been a yaoi-series, but it was an actually good one, focusing more than simply hawt bishie-on-bishie action, it explored what it meant to be in a relationship with another person. I hoped that the second season would be much of the same, continuing where the first season... | | |
| 7:11pm | Jigoku Shoujo - 65 | | | | Short Synopsis: A woman whose father was struck by a car calls Jigoku Tsuushin. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 (Awesome) OMG! OMG! OMG! At times like these, I just have to resort to pure and utterly biased fanboyism. Enma Ai is back in action, baby! This episode was so beyond all expectations that... | | |
| 8:33am | The 14th Day of Christmas 2008 - found my music | | | | found my music - Some of the best themes of 2008 anime Part 14 in the 12 Moments in Anime Countdown Counting down a few of my favorite songs from anime in 2008; I can’t claim to be a music enthusiast in terms of knowing terminology, or knowing musical theory, but anime music does make up a large... | | |
