| 10:03am | Saiunkoku Monogatari - 75 | | | | There are three episodes left. Then, what the heck is a recap-episode doing here? This shows more and more that the creators just need to take a break for a year, and get their budgets and planning fully sorted out, because right now it seems that they just can’t keep up with their own schedule.... | | |

| 2:46pm | Porfy no Nagai Tabi - 03 | | | | Oh my god, what a wonderful episode, considering that we’re only three episodes in, and we barely even scratched the surface of the real potential for this series. Seeing Porfy and his sister finally reunite with their father was such a heart-warming scene. The creators really know what they’re... | | |
| 3:00am | Saigar Update: Group C Round 1 |  | | | Almost, maybe, kinda GAR? Not really. Maebara Keiichi (607) beats his opponents, Aizawa Yuuichi (140) and Shades & Grenades (77), to death with a baseball bat to secure victory. Yuuichi’s sarcasm couldn’t save him this time. Alleluja Haptism (355) beats Ikari Shinji (233) and Jean Valjean... | | |

| 2:38pm | 2007 Summary | | | | And so it’s finally time to say goodbye to 2007. It’s been another great year, and what way to close it off better than with the obligatory end-of-the-year-rankings and -awards. Like mentioned before, this post has turned out a lot bigger than last year now that I’ve had multiple days... | | |
| 11:56am | Dropping Shugo Chara | | | | I think that the end of 2007 will be the best time for this, so yeah, I’m going to drop Shugo Chara so that I won’t take it along into 2008. I’ll still continue watching it, but I don’t feel like blogging it anymore, for a variety of reasons: - First and foremost: the 51 episodes.... | | |
| 3:02pm | Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette Review - 94/100 | | | | And finally, the behemoth of the series that is known as Les Miserables -Shoujo Cosette has ended. For the revival of the World Masterpiece Theatre, the classic novel by Victor Hugo was chosen to get an adaptation, and the result has become terrific; a masterpiece in terms of story and characters.... | | |
| 2:23pm | Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette - 52 | | | | What an awesome way to end such an awesome series! Even though there was nothing of Thenardiére and Azelma, we get something that’s even better: the death of Jean Valjean. I didn’t believe that this series would be able to make me cry after the revolution ended, and thankfully I was so... | | |
| 9:55pm | My Top Ten Anime of 2007 (I Can't Help Myself) | | | | Especially because my list will be so different from most others, I just can't stop myself from posting it. Some of these shows have clear faults, but their strengths more than counterbalance their faults, in my opinion.

| 4:56pm | December Summary | | | | If you’re wondering why the rankings for this month are a bit earlier than usual: well, I wanted to have a bit more time to work on my end-of-the-year-list, with the most memorable and un-memorable series of the past year. It’s going to get a bit bigger than last year’s, which to be honest was... | | |
| 11:28pm | Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette - 51 | | | | Angedemystere, you were right. Thenardier gets more than enough closure for this episode. His final plan was way more desperate than I imagined, when compared to his cunning plan of the third arc, where he basically tries to blackmail Marius with all the things he knows about Jean Valjean. Not really... | | |
| 10:44pm | Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette - 50 | | | | Oh my gawd! Thenardiére lost weight in prison! That was quite a shock to see how much she had changed. ^^; And yeah, I totally forgot about the wedding, which took place in this episode. It was really cute, especially seeing some old faces back again (Cosette’s friends from the monastery return!... | | |
| 10:05pm | Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette - 49 | | | | Awww, how incredibly sweet. It baffles me to realize how much time this series is spending on wrapping up all its stories. Most series aim to have their conclusion at their final or semi-final episode, but this of course makes things very hard to wrap up properly after everything is over, and most... | | |
