| 6:00am | Best in Anime 2008 – Part 1: Character Awards | | | | I start with the character awards partly because I feel once a show establishes a great cast of characters then it’s 70% of the way to ensuring that I’ll like it.

| 3:58am | Haruhi-chan Anime Not Even Started Yet |  | | | It seems the only major confirmed Haruhi title, “Haruhi-chan”, has not even begun production, leading many to doubt whether a 2009 release is likely.

| 8:58pm | Ga-Rei -Zero- | | | | “Jeez, I said NOT to call me Sister!!“ As always with awesome shows like this, I jumped on the bandwagon halfway through the season.

| 6:19pm | Ga-Rei: Zero - It made me post again. |  | | | OK now, this is just ridiculous. I’m two episodes in and it’s driving me nuts. This is such an odd emotional roller coaster. For the life of me I can’t understand building up the characters and then killing them horribly at the end of the episode. All I can think of is tragedy and... | | |

| 8:01am | Top Five Anime for Fall 2008 | | | | I’ve been reluctant to post my top 5 shows for the fall season for various reasons but with the first of season’s shows ending – it’s time. One of the reasons for the delay was that this has been a good season for anime and it made it hard to whittle the list down to just five. Another reason... | | |
| 4:50am | Dreams of the Year Behind: 2008 | | | | In light of the approaching New Year, it is once again time for year-end reflections. Do we wonder if 2008 was a good year for anime? Without a doubt, 2008 was no 2007, yet there was an abundance of good in 2008. Where did 2008 win, and why will I remember this year in anime? In the Season For my considerations,... | | |
