| 3:03am | A Shoujo Protagonist Moment of Epiphany | | | | Real Life has been rather colorful as of late, and while I had to cut it short due to certain realizations on my end, it allowed me to Level Up in Life (or so I hope), leaving me more enlightened than ever. Unfortunately, I had to step on someone’s toes in the process, and I’m really sorry... | | |
| 12:00am | Hatsukoi Limited is Where all the Males are Limited | | | | I’ve grown rather fond of Hatsukoi Limited. It feels every bit the generic junior/high school hijinks romance comedy with some dramatic elements. What sets it apart for me is the gorgeous character designs by J. C. Staff, that to me, is superior to their work on Toradora! Why is this a critical... | | |
| 12:00am | These Mothers are Showing a Bit of Character: Happy Mothers’ Day! | | | | There’s really a ‘We’ in We Remember Love, beyond the guest posts of bloggers you may already know of, this blog is a family and friends operation and for special occasions like today we all come together. Today we remember our love for our mothers: our Mamas, Mommies, Mums, and Nanays... | | |
| 4:05am | the innocence |  | | | So I checked out Hatsukoi Gentei, subbed by the ones who also brought us Itazura na Kiss, m.3.3.w. I do appreciate that they try to sub shows that may not be as popular because shows like ItaKiss and this new one are actually fun to watch. As I said before, the character design screams Ichigo 100%,... | | |
| 2:35pm | March Summary | | | | An interesting month this time. It featured a lot of very awesome finales, but also quite a few disappointing or lacking endings, unfortunately. What surprised me is that most of the shows whose endings went right are the ones who still have some sort of second season or OVA waiting, or at least whose... | | |
| 9:54pm | 48 Spring Anime -- full previews: story, trailer, cast, staff, pic | | | | These may be difficult times in the anime industry, but you couldn't tell it from the number of anime being produced. Forty-eight titles come out this spring -- series and OVAs -- about the same number as last spring.But quantity doesn't necessarily imply quality. Nothing here seems like an instant classic.... | | |
| 12:06pm | February Summary | | | | A bit of a boring list this time perhaps, since it looks mostly the same as last month’s with perhaps a few small differences. Nevertheless, this was a very good month. The winter season has proven to be an excellent one, and quite a few series spent this month getting even better than they already... | | |
| 7:37pm | [Ascaloth] CLANNAD ~After Story~, Episode 14 | | | | Now that they have taken the vow which has engendered one of the greatest changes in their lives, the Okazaki couple are about to face even more changes, and it is these changes which, given enough time, will make the idyllic memories of their halcyon days just that; a memory. As the places where their... | | |
| 12:00am | We Remember Itazura na Kiss | | | | It’s been suggested to me by my blogging overlords that Itazura na Kiss is relevant to my search for anime that deals with the ‘ever after’ part of love-story arcs. My wife and I marathoned Itazura na Kiss and we found it nearly equal parts infuriating, and awesome. This post isn’t... | | |
| 8:38am | 2008: Year in Review |  | | | 2008 was a interesting year for anime, as there were sequels to previous seasons of many series this year, along with new orginal shows, and manga adapted shows also. I thought that as a whole, anime in 2008 offered something for everyone. Best Male Lead: Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass R 2) Runner... | | |
| 5:10pm | 2008/2009 Winter Anime Menu | | | | Super delayed preview, as always! woohoo!! Better late than never, right? It’s that time of the year when the chefs get together and actually post something to bring you this comprehensive list of animes due this season. Without further ado, we bring to you this almost complete list of this sequel-filled... | | |

| 4:28am | 2008 in Review: Picks of 2008 |  | | | Another year passes. Man, it’s hard to believe I’m already in to my 9th year of being an otaku as well as my 4th year of blogging. Time sure flies. I’m now well over 1500 posts with nearly 16k comments, and it’s thanks to everyone’s support that I’ve gotten so far.... | | |
| 4:00pm | Final Thoughts: Itazura na Kiss | | | | High school underachiever Kotoko has always adored her handsome and smart schoolmate Irie Naoki- so much so that even the bluntest of rejections isn’t enough to cool her ardour. Even so, it seems highly unlikely that anything will develop between them- at least until Kotoko and her father end up going... | | |
| 5:15am | My Favorite 2008 OPs (and Yours?) |  | | | Let’s do something we haven’t done here before on Anime Diet: end-of-the-year lists! Our first list is favorite OPs of the year, drawn from the various anime shown throughout 2008. My personal top five OPs are: 1.) Kaiba OP, “Never.” A deeply heartfelt, mostly-correct English... | | |
