| 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... | | |
| 5:35pm | 2008 Was So-So | | | | In terms of the anime year, the anime released for 2008 was subpar. It does not compare to the ever excellent 2007, simply one year ago! As per usual, Anime-Source is planning the end of the year survey. I’ve been brainstorming on what I might select, but from all possible titles, he “best”... | | |
| 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.

| 7:59am | The Final Day of Christmas 2008 - taking aim at 2009 | | | | “But your poorly-crafted charm of endless night That’s no match for my power controlling eternity. The dawn is getting closer. This is the end of your imperishable night Now the dawn will come!!” Well, all good, bad, and tl;dr things must come to an end, right? It’s New Year’s... | | |
| 4:48am | Favorite Anime Characters of 2008 | | | | Ah, yes, the fall season is gone and the winter season has started. That means a brand new year in anime has started. To welcome that new year, I once again will show my favorite characters of the previous yearfrom Winter ‘08 season to Fall ‘08 season. Any character between those season... | | |
| 4:00am | THAT’s Official “Best Anime of 2008″ Post |  | | | The gift of moe The post of the title is pretty self-explanatory, but what the hell. I badgered several of the THAT authors into indicating along with me what they thought the best anime of 2008 was. Some of them (including myself) could not contain themselves and split their selection. Regardless,... | | |
| 8:22pm | 2008 Summary - Part II | | | | I originally wanted to wait with posting this until Porfy no Nagai’s final episode got released, but its time is nearly running out here. The Share-uploaders have a very cruel sense of humour: out of all the episodes they could have picked to delay, it became that one. In any case, here’s... | | |
| 7:00am | Reverse Vampire’s Top 10 Anime Shows (And YES, the list is biased) |  | | | CCS, anyone? The New Year has arrived! To end of 2008 (With so many ups and downs) and hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone living in this planet. Economy crisis, natural disasters, political crisis and global warming, GO AWAY! (Well, except for global warning. You can’t get rid of that.)... | | |
| 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,... | | |
| 5:51am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Scintillating Soundtracks |  | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs Part 3: Fun Phrases Unlike the openings and closings of anime this year, good standalone series soundtracks (that is, good in my subjective lack of taste sense) have been hard to find for me, which is a little sad. That said, there were some... | | |
| 3:08am | 39 New Winter Anime -- full previews: staff, cast, pic, story, trailer | | | | The winter season is usually the least exciting of the year, but there are always surprises. Last year, there were true tears and Spice & Wolf.

| 6:45am | Beyond the Blogging Crossroad Part 2: Why I Blog | | | | Moving on from where we left off, and on to the question of “Why do I blog?”. Why I Blog Before answering “Why I Blog”, I guess it would be but right to answer the question “Who am I (as an anime fan and as a person)?” first, in the hopes that the answer to the former question can... | | |
| 8:23am | The 13th Day of Christmas 2008 - and the rest… | | | | “Well, I’m no demon. I’ll play with you until morning.” Yeah, those of you who know me from last year know I’m not much for stopping at just 12 Days of nonstop posting. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m cocky and want to see how far I can push myself. Maybe I’m... | | |
| 6:22am | NARUTO: Shippuuden ep. 80-87 |  | | | [ Episode 80-87: Race to Catch up ] YOSH! [ Episode 80: Last Words ] Pretty straightforward episode for me. If this episode didn’t make you cry or at least feel like crying, even just a little, then you must be a robot or are cold as ice. I felt that Asuma’s death was handled very well,... | | |
| 7:15pm | Unfulfilled Expectations or a Drastic My Anime Blog 2008 Primer |  | | | By TheBigN So according to others, I was apparently supposed to be part of the “12 Days of Christmas” craze that’s sweeping the blogosphere, and I’m kinda confused on how that impression came to be. I’m planning on doing what I did last year with the “Impressions... | | |
