| 3:20am | Episode 9: Summer is Over | | | | Claymore, worst ending ever, or punishment from God? A shockingly non-violent finalé makes us wonder, what was worth watching in summer of ‘07 anyway?

| 7:00am | What Makes A Good Anime OP? | | | | Steven Den Beste made an interesting comment last week in response to our choice of Lucky Star for OP of the Year in our Best of 2007 Anime Awards, and it really set me thinking. I know which OPs I like and don’t like, of course, but I had never really stopped to consider what criteria I use to... | | |
| 10:03pm | Please keep your MOE out of my GAR. |  | | | There is nothing more GAR than this: I was just informed by this post about the recently selected candidates for the 2008 Sai-Gar. Pardon me but Sai-GAR means MANLY characters, not MOE characters, Sai MOE ended so get your stupid loli/moe asses out of my man battle, Miss Furude, Miss Ryuugu and Miss... | | |
| 5:00am | First Thoughts on Gunslinger Girl - Il Teatrino - | | | | As a huge fan of the original Gunslinger Girl anime, as well as the ongoing manga, I’m definitely very excited about seeing how this new season will turn out.

| 8:00pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 7 - Anime of the Year | | | | It’s the Year of the Dango, doncha know Well, at long last we’ve come to the end of our little farcical award show. Much like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, the awards are made up and the prizes don’t matter, but it’s been a lot of fun to write nevertheless. Now finally,... | | |
| 1:21pm | Lookback at 2007: Moe and GAR |  | | | First of my multipart installment of looking back at 2007.

| 4:08pm | Year in Review: Potemayo | | | | 1. Potemayo You were probably expecting something epic, weren’t you? That’s how things went down last year, at least. Potemayo isn’t an epic show, however. It’s a simple show. So simple, in fact, that it’s a little difficult to write about. Yet, it seems perfectly... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 7:31pm | My Picks of Anime ‘07 |  | | | Best ” OVA ” - ARIA the AriettaOk, actually ARIA the Arietta was probably the only OVA from this year I saw, but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. Like everything about ARIA, it was great; calming, funny, whimsical, and slightly melancholic. Fortunately the OVA did not signal the... | | |
| 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.

| 6:30pm | Best of 2007 Anime Awards, Day 3 - Comedy | | | | As much as we all love a good dramatic, action packed series, there’s really nothing better for relaxing after a hard day at work than some lighthearted humor. Well, unless there’s a new episode of Aria, in which case everything else goes out the window. Fortunately, this year had a pretty... | | |
| 4:22pm | Dreams of the Year Behind :: 2007 | | | | And just when we believed 2006 was some sort of awesome the dawn of 2007. Alright, that’s probably not totally true. With the end of 2007 drawing near, it is time for year-end reflections. Yes, it is that time when bloggers confront their senses and memories with “best-of” questions.... | | |
