| 4:43am | End of 2008 - Languid Year | | | | Interesting “Fact” Ok, so I was talking to my friend and he brought up a very interesting point: In most (if not all) romance genre Anime, there is a bloody sidekick - either to support a love or to just be a clown. That person does NOT have to be a male character but tends to be male. Lets... | | |

| 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... | | |
| 10:57pm | Ga-Rei Zero episode 12 - End ~ Last paradise | | | | Get your tissues ready In a nutshell, quite easily one of the best endings seen this autumn season and I am glad that they went out with a bang. Yomi has to be one of the biggest tragic characters of the year, Kagura being the most depressive (if you don’t consider a certain character from ef~... | | |
| 4:49pm | Anime 2008: A year in review | | | | How the hell am I supposed to open this post? I’m talking about every single anime in 2008, the best and the worst in every category. I haven’t seen everything this year obviously, such as Aria, ef, Shigofumi and DMC, but I’ve had a chance to check out pretty much everything else. Anyway,... | | |
| 3:44pm | Five figures that I want - Sadly, they don’t exist II | | | | We all know the feeling of loving a certain character but since the character is either a side character, not popular, or just for some odd reason a figure hasn’t been made yet. This is my top five figures I’ve been wanting for a long time but haven’t found yet. If anyone is interested you can... | | |
| 9:22am | [Ascaloth] ef ~a tale of melodies~, Episode 12 | | | | His days with his beloved Yuuko a thing of the past, Yuu sets out to create the future of his dreams, a mirror image of his home city in a beautiful land, a reflection of a happier past before tragedy and sorrow struck the original city, and at the same time the reflection of a happier future which has... | | |
| 4:52am | Episode of the Week - 12.27 - ef - a tale of melodies - 12 [Final] |  | | | Xebek: Did you honestly expect any other episode would get Episode of the Week? First off, there weren’t that many great other series going on. Even still, this was a great episode for this great series. It finished it off beautifully. I admit, I cried at the end. This series captivated me and this... | | |
| 6:41pm | Kannagi - 13 (Final) |  | | | And it ends. My final impression is included. Summary: The previous shrine managers wonder if they should check on their visitor, an acquaintance of the grandmother of the house. This turns out to be none other than Nagi, but when the mother of the house asks if she feels like she is ready to go... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 3:27pm | December Summary | | | | For December, I decided to write my summary a bit earlier than usual, so that I can gather a bit more time to work on my 2008 Summary, where I list my highlights of the past year. Overall, this has been a very straightforward month without many big surprises: the series that I expected to do well did... | | |
| 1:22pm | ef - a tale of melodies ends |  | | | I didn’t like it as much as memories, but at least melodies ended things off well. I honestly lost interest after the irritating emo arc of Kuze and Himura around after the middle of the series. Yuuko’s sudden death also didn’t help out. T_T. Well, for an ending episode, it’s... | | |
| 9:30am | Sometimes, all you can do is say farewell | | | | I think it is a mistake to view ef - a tale of melodies as a sequel to ef - a tale of memories. Instead, I think the two series are best seen as a single work (like Omo, I am tempted to explore the games and the graphic novels, to see what they add to the five intertwining stories). That work tells... | | |
| 6:11am | Omo on ef in aggregate |  | | | Omo addresses the question if parts of ef form a sequence or something else: As the second season, ef - a tale of melodies, comes to an end, it becomes increasingly clear to me that the two seasons were planned in conjunction. It also makes me wonder if I can truly appreciate the core content to the... | | |
