| 8:43pm | Editorial: Empires in Anime |  | | | Empires in anime are a fairly common phenomenon, especially in science fiction series. Looking at Japan’s history with being an empire and encountering others, here’s a rather too long post about how I see history perhaps influencing anime in the portrayal of different kinds of empires. This editorial... | | |

| 7:17pm | Favorite Anime of 2008 | | | | As if anyone cared, here's my personal list of top anime of 2008.I'd say "best" anime, but "favorite" is more accurate. I can't imagine how to be objective about this. We all have our own likes and dislikes. Even adding up points in various categories -- animation, story, characters, etc. -- seems pretty... | | |
| 9:27pm | Hakushaku to Yousei: A Bower of Britsploitation Bliss? | | | | Suddenly, Lelouch is out-collared. Hakushaku to Yousei is not exactly the show of the moment, but it has a certain charm, especially for viewers who, like me, don’t watch many shoujo romances. Besides, I have what you might call a semi-professional interest in Britsploitation, and if 2008 had... | | |

| 4:32am | Hakushaku to Yousei - Episode One |  | | | I admit that I’m a bit of a sucker for time period shows, and hopefully as this show is set in the Victorian period, I hoped that this series would be a show that I would regularly watch. Hakushaku to Yousei’s main leads are Lydia Carlton (she has caramel coloured hair), who is a ‘Fairy Doctor’... | | |
| 6:43pm | Hakushaku To Yousei Ep 9 - Drunken Edgar and A Bitter-Smutilicious Moment |  | | | SQUEEEEEEE!!! I have to apologize for not replying to the comments of the previous entry.

So please, read on and join me as I savor this episode to its last smutty detail.... | | |
| 6:34pm | Sasaki Nozomi -- One of the Moe-est Voices in Anime | | | | I am addicted to the lovely liquid lisp of seiyuu Sasaki Nozomi (Nanami in Bokura ga Ita). I think she and Hanazawa Kana have the most moé voices in anime.The problem is, she doesn't get many roles. I heard her most recently last Saturday, when she played Kaede in episode 9 of Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae.... | | |
