| 1:38am | Saimoe 2008 - My Picks | | | | The prelims are over and it’s time for me to choose my favorite contenders for each block. These are just my completely biased picks for each block, you probably won’t see another Saimoe post until each block as 2 characters battling against each other. List stolen from Certifiably Insane.... | | |

| 11:52pm | Hosaka x Haruhi – Together at last! | | | | So we’re surfing around the interwebs today and we find the greatest video ever! It’s a video of Hosaka (from Minami-Ke) mashed up with Haruhi. When we found it we were happier than Brett Farve would be if he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Who ever created this is a god. ... | | |

| 4:06pm | [53] Afro Samurai Revisited |  | | | ↩[52] Introduction Perhaps Japan is rather ethnically homogenous, or I am under the impression of such a fact. So then maybe the lack of blacks in slice of life anime is justified not because animators envisage an utopian, ethnically homogenous Japan, but rather, they are correctly portraying the... | | |
| 12:10pm | Natsume Yuujinchou episode 3: Houston, we have comedy | | | | 2008 has been a Good Year for anime so far. We’ve had Geass R2, Kaiba, Spice and Wolf and many other really good shows. What 2008 has completely failed in is bringing us some decent comedy! I mean so far we’ve just had two sequels with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Minami-ke, neither of which... | | |
| 11:53pm | The Return of the Hosaka Award | | | | It’s been so long since we’ve had a Hosaka award winner that we feel it’s necessary to explain what this award is all about. ‘The Weekly - Funniest Scene not Involving Hosaka - Award’ highlights gut busting funny moments in anime. The award is obviously named in honor of... | | |
| 8:55pm | Kyou no Go no Ni | | | | I got the first urge to rewatch Kyou no Go no Ni OVA (Today, in class 5-2) at the time Minami-ke: Okawari started to get average to boring. I missed the first season and knew that both series were written by the same author, Koharu Sakuraba. Lack of time prevented me to do so and | | |

| 3:45pm | And More Sequels: ‘Umineko no Naku Kori ni’ and ‘Kyou no 5-2′ | | | | Moon Phase has two more pieces of new anime news (but Black Lagoon is one we– or at least I –have been waiting for since 2006, so it got its own post). Still, we shouldn’t diminish either of these: Umineko no Naku Koro ni (the newest sequel to horror series Higurashi, natch) and the... | | |
| 4:12pm | Minami-ke - Honestly needed more Mako-chan | | | | Well, this is my first anime related post in a while. I’ve been busy working a lot of hours so I have no time for anime. Anyway, I finished up the first season of Minami-ke. It’s labeled as a comedy and slice of life, but I would say it’s predominately a slice of life than a comedy.... | | |
