| 4:55pm | 12 Moments of Anime Day 12 - The Tragic Life of Yuuko Amamiya | | | | In a way, I hate to wrap up this project with this episode, especially with this post going out on Christmas Day (which itself is rather ironic if you know Yuuko’s story), but I found episode 6 of ef - a tale of melodies to probably have the single most impactful moment in any anime series in... | | |
| 8:00am | Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 - #01: KimiKiss 24 | | | | Well, one year of anime fandom and insanity all, subjectively, comes down to this. With the gravity I’ve created for a situation like this, somewhat on purpose, somewhat or not, I suppose I should look back a bit on how this little ‘project’ (as I speak with my evil-genius mentality)... | | |
| 5:49am | ef melodies is on hold, and episode 6 isn’t helping | | | | So, I’m putting ef ~a tale of melodies~ on hold for as long as I feel like, probably until I’ve got nothing better to watch.

| 12:49am | Ef a tale of melodies 12: It’s over? | | | | Although I have some problems with this episode, it ended with the best thing that they could have possibly used: a singing extravaganza by the female cast!

| 8:50pm | ef - a tale of melodies - Episode 12 (Completed) | | | | So, ef - a tale of melodies comes to a close, and it's Christmas! (Why do I get the feeling you may have already noticed this?)

| 8:36pm | ef - a Sequels of Some Disappointments, Shh. | | | | The more I think about it, the less I want to write about ef. 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. However there were a couple shocking continuity issues, one which is best cemented by the... | | |
| 8:00pm | ef - a tale of melodies - 12 [Final] |  | | | Himura goes back to Japan in order to face Yuuko. Impressions: This episode was absolutely brilliant. There was a lot more of the story focused on Himura then I thought there would be, but it turned out great in the end. I thought, although I predicted it, Himura facing Yuuko’s spirit was great.... | | |
| 8:00am | Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 - #02: the two tales of ef | | | | “Seventeen years it had taken him to learn?what kind of meaning was hidden beneath the walls of text. O cruel, needless pretentiousness! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the world of logic and sensibility! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything... | | |
| 10:35am | ef - a tale of melodies Review - 77,5/100 | | | | 2008 has been a bad year for Shaft. While I can’t speak for Hidamari Sketch, their only two other series this year were simply sequels for series that didn’t really need one, and both of them featured a drastic decrease in quality. While ef - a tale of melodies didn’t decrease in... | | |

| 4:58am | ef ~ A Tale of Whatever #12 — It’s Over! | | | | Which means no more Kuze ever. Whew Impressions: Well, it’s over. Not a horrible ending, though I felt pretty much no closure on the Kuze/Mizuki side whatsoever. They timeskip to Christmas (well, I honestly don’t remember when the surgery was taking place, but I assume "Not-Christmas")... | | |
| 3:24am | Dame-dame on Waiting For Haruhi |  | | | Suguru laments the long gap between releases: I remember someone at Kyoani mentioning at one point that they wanted Haruhi to be like the Gundam franchise for them–someone needs to go to Kyoto and tell them you don’t built a franchise by just sitting on a one-cour series for years and throwing... | | |
| 2:50am | [Ascaloth] ef ~a tale of melodies~, Episode 11 | | | | The tragedy of the past is over and done with, but the seeds have been sown for the stories yet to be.
