| 4:24pm | Winter Season Preview | | | | The upcoming Winter Season will suck? Hell no! In fact, I see no way in which it isn’t going to be able to be better than the Winter of 2010.

| 7:43am | A 2ch Poster’s Reading of Anime DVD/BD Sales Charts | | | | Or “Sales Barriers for Anime” This was originally going to be named “how 2ch reads sales charts” but then I remembered that trying to classify any part of 2ch as a singular is a rather foolish thing to do unless you want hits.
