| 1:40pm | 2008 Summary - Part I | | | | Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year.

| 11:05am | Kurozuka Review - 82,5/100 | | | | From the director of Death Note, Kurozuka is Madhouse’s latest action series. This time, it’s packed with lots and lots of Japanese-styled horror, and comes in a package that just oozes style.

| 10:51am | Kurozuka - 11 | | | | Short Synopsis: Kuro attempts to get rid of the final two villain-henchmen. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) This is going to be a short entry, since it was a minor episode anyway: it just meant to set the stage right for the finale of the show. Thankfully, most of the episode was spent on the... | | |
