| 2:23pm | No, Anime is NOT Creative. | | | | In response to a recent blog post I chanced across on animenano, I’ve felt compelled to respond with a post of my own. Saturnine says all the good blogs link to each other in posts, so I shall do some linking because that makes me a good blogger right? The post I shall address is by some small... | | |
| 12:20am | One Outs 16 Review ーワンナウツ | | | | Rating: 16: 「Trick Stadium -トリックスタジアム This is One Outs at its best. Even though they only actually started playing baseball at the end, the episode threw lots of new elements into the mix to up the ante yet again. The previous game felt a bit... | | |
| 3:34pm | January Summary | | | | It’s definitely been an interesting Winter-season so far. I know that I’ve ranted pretty often about the lack of new concepts this series, but when you look at the big picture, then this is promising to become an excellent season. There are many quality sequels airing right now, and especially... | | |
| 5:13am | Vote for your Favourite 2008 Anime | | | | Hy look, it’s anotehr Anime-Source survey (: I have a lot of fun with these. I especially like to see the results of what anime fans think.

| 9:26pm | Speculating on the Spectacle of the Bespectacled Girl | | | | Glasses on a girl are not always a plus. But they are never a minus. Sometimes I wonder what kind of reputation I have around the otakusphere. The taste for harem shows that I developed early in my anime-viewing career, starting with Key’s crying shows and fluff-drama pieces like Shuffle and... | | |
| 12:17pm | One Outs 12 ーワンナウツ | | | | Rating: 12: 「Invincible Pitching Style -必殺投法」 Welcomed escape from the dominating moe trend in anime though it may be, my enthusiasm for One Outs is beginning to wane. I’m actually really surprised by my disaffected response to this episode because... | | |
| 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,... | | |
| 8:00am | The 18th Day of Christmas 2008 - resolving resolutions | | | | Well, one year ago I made a bunch of New Year’s Resolutions of sorts, in terms of anime viewing, as to what I definitely most absolutely must had to see (or experience, or rave about, in a few cases) over the next 12 months. And while it’s apparent that the last year in the anime fandom... | | |
| 9:42am | Princess Nine Review - 80/100 | | | | I remember how I one had a very strange bias against sports anime. I’m still not sure exactly why it was, but after watching shows as One Outs and Princess Nine, this bias is completely gone. Princess Nine makes baseball look fun. You shouldn’t go into this series as a baseball-fan, however.... | | |

| 3:27pm | December Summary | | | | For December, I decided to write my summary a bit earlier than usual, so that I can gather a bit more time to work on my 2008 Summary, where I list my highlights of the past year. Overall, this has been a very straightforward month without many big surprises: the series that I expected to do well did... | | |
| 8:00am | Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 - #02: the two tales of ef | | | | “Seventeen years it had taken him to learn?what kind of meaning was hidden beneath the walls of text. O cruel, needless pretentiousness! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the world of logic and sensibility! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything... | | |
| 1:11am | One Outs 11 ー ワンナウツ | | | | Rating: 11: 「World`s Fastest Man -世界最速の男」 As usual, episode 11 is another solid piece of entertainment. If you can get into the premise at all, and dig the over-the-top mind games then this anime is a consistent winner. It’s one of the few anime... | | |
