| 3:02am | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 4 ~ oshimai |  | | | I couldn’t think of a better way to end this then calling this last part the end, so you get your oshimai instead. This final entry has a whopping eight categories so this is where the best of the best lie. Our focus here is on the story and direction of the show and overall how it was handled... | | |
| 10:41pm | Kyoto Animation’s New Spring Anime or We’re Still Waiting for Haruhi Season 2 | | | | Official Site I thought the announcement of a new season of Haruhi starting this April sounded a bit unbelievable. A couple of days before the mis-interpreted news broke about the first season of Haruhi being replayed starting in April, I came across this site mentioning Kyoto Animation was going... | | |
| 3:34pm | January Summary | | | | It’s definitely been an interesting Winter-season so far. I know that I’ve ranted pretty often about the lack of new concepts this series, but when you look at the big picture, then this is promising to become an excellent season. There are many quality sequels airing right now, and especially... | | |
| 7:41pm | Shikabane Hime - 18 | | | | Short Synopsis: Sougi takes care of his old friend, while the Seven Stars pull a particularly nasty trick on Makina. Episode Rating: 8/10 (8,5/10 for the first half) Ah, who cares about the stupid fanservice! The second season rocks! I’m really surprised. When the fanservice started coming with... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 3:58pm | 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... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 3:04am | Top 10 Anime of 2008 | | | | It’s that time of year againtime to rank the top 10 shows of 2008. Of course, the usual caveat: this only includes shows which I watched, which this year was only about 20, so it was a kind of slow year for me. Nevertheless, this list still boasts a pretty impressive list of shows. 10. Birdy... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 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.

| 3:31am | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 2 ~ character | | | | The second part of AIA ‘08 focuses now on what makes a show unique and that is the numerous amount of characters, each with their own personalities, preferences, hobbies, you name it. They give life to the show and they are the stars that get seiyuu their money in their wallets. For this year,... | | |
