| 4:01pm | Fall Anime Impressions – Skip Beat | | | | I guess you can find sad girls in more places then just snowTotally shifting gears now, my impression of the first episode of Skip Beat. I thank those people that commented about this show back when I did my preview for this season because I probably wouldn’t have watched due to approaching my limit... | | |
| 11:00am | Kannagi – Nagi Yuri Raep Anime |  | | | Superb petanko miko anime Kannagi seems intent on pursuing tastefully restrained service in the same vein as past greats such as Minamike, with the third episode tantalising viewers with Nagi’s underwear and lack of any cleavage whatsoever; Nagi even seems to be revealing a slightly alarming taste... | | |
| 7:12am | Clannad After Story 3 - You Can (Not) Count on Me |  | | | Admit your fetishes, Tomoya, that's the real reason OK, I was wrong. The arc is as much about Mei as it is about Youhei, and about what it means to be a responsible brother. Curse you, moe cosplaying hot Sanae for being such a red herring! Leave it to Key to turn around a pretend “romance”... | | |
| 1:21pm | T-That’s Impossible: A Retrospect on Saimoe 2008, Round 3 | | | | Analysis\ up when I get the chance, but since I’ll be away from the computer for a bit, I’ve got to push this post out the door: G3-2 Results: Show ▼ Tsukasa (Lucky Star) defeats Nagi (Hayate) 1080-889 H3-1 Results: Show ▼ Noe (true tears) defeats Suzu (Nagasarete Airantou) 972-555... | | |
| 12:58am | 2008 Anime DVD Sales Ranking |  | | | Here we have the rather interesting DVD sales ranking for 2008 anime, in this case focused on the first volume as a proxy for total popularity. There are a number of interesting results within the list, but the top and bottom are likely not surprising. These numbers are the number of DVDs sold over... | | |
| 5:18pm | Enough of That Already: Saimoe ‘08 [3EF-2] results and [3GH-1] preview | | | | Can I still dramatize Minami-ke? I can still dramatize Minami-ke. The third round has been a rough mix of incredible blowouts and intense battles; we’ve seen all four Clannad girls annihilate the competition in varying amounts. We’ve seen Nanoha and Shana go toe-to-toe for 23 hours in one... | | |
| 6:18pm | Waki Exposure Anime Legends |  | | | A selection of the finest moments of sexy waki exposure in anime, being quite extensive at sixteen minutes. Can’t say I recognised many apart from Heart-sama, Minamike and Haruhi Surely you can do better? Player 1 Nico. Doesn’t Haruhi look awful now? Even Heart-sama has the better of them... | | |
| 5:48pm | Duel of the Dark Horses: Saimoe ‘08 [3EF-1] results and [3EF-2] preview | | | | Things are looking bad for the Minami-ke ticket that could seemingly do no wrong one round ago. Now, faced with hate votes, strategic votes, and worst of all, Key characters (and I only use worst in the ‘garners ridiculous amount of votes’ sense), two of their girls got crushed pretty roughly,... | | |

| 2:41pm | First Impressions - Toradora! | | | | Instant Classic. That’s about the best way I can describe Toradora. It takes the best from various anime series and assembles it together into one series. At least that is my impression after watching the first two episodes. Takasu reminds me of a mix of Hideki from Chobits and Sawamura... | | |
| 2:30pm | Name Brand Battle: Saimoe ‘08 [3CD-2] results and [3EF-1] preview | | | | Have you had enough KyoAni yet? Even the most hardened of fanboys might admit that yesterday’s match was a bit overwhelming in Overly Popular Characters, and only one girl was unlucky enough to stand up to them The unexpected popularity of Minami-ke gave their core trio strong showings in the... | | |
