| 10:37am | Kiri Komori Cosplay |  | | | The nearest thing the world has to a hikikomori idol, Kiri Komori of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, is cosplayed rather convincing below: If you need a 2D reference or are simply hungering for some more Zetsubou Sensei material, pay a visit to the erotic gallery of such. Another fine find from Wanderer... | | |
| 6:45am | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 3 ~ music |  | | | Third round and this time, it’s all about the music. You can have anime with voices, but once you cue the music at the right time, you get some pretty amazing results. Kudos to all the composers and arrangers, and the vocalists for all their hard work! Firstly, we’d like to get our Top... | | |
| 2:24am | Maria Holic gets Shafted | | | | I’m leery of Shaft as a studio, but Zetsubou Sensei was pretty good, and the premise for Maria Holic sounded potentially funny, so I figured I’d give the first episode a go. Unfortunately Shaft can’t just make anime. They have to take anime, whip out their dongs, wrap their dongs... | | |
| 5:46pm | Top 10 Anime Endings of 2008 | | | | I thought I’d make some top 10 lists for 2008, and the first is the top 10 best ED songs in 2008. The only requirement is that they premiered in 2008 (sorry Shion and CLANNAD EDs!). I’m also judging it more on the song than the animation of the ED. In any case, let’s get to it... | | |
| 7:24am | Maria†Holic ep. 1 | | | | [ Episode 1: A Mischievous Kiss ] My dream anime. 2009 is here! And to start the year off, this season I’ll be blogging Maria†Holic, one of my most anticipated shows for Winter ‘08. (I had to snag this one away from Leon.) To give a little insight on the series, Maria†Holic is a SHAFT... | | |
| 9:45pm | Budget Heroes | | | | As fans of anime and perhaps animation in general, it’s pretty easy to spot when something is well-animated or poorly animated. While a little trickier, it’s also certainly possible to notice good visual direction in a show. What’s more difficult is being able to notice when a show’s... | | |
| 8:30pm | Dreams of the Year Behind: 2008 Series Categories | | | | Behind schedule, but my top series in given categories for the year behind, 2008: Over-the-top Without a doubt, the second and final season of Code Geass takes the cake with it’s completely illogical left-field plot twists. Was it fun to watch, I guess it was involved, but simply pissed me off... | | |
| 4:46am | First Look Fair: Maria✝Holic |  | | | First review of the year! Akiyuki Shinbo strikes again–or does he? This new season show comes out earlier than most, courtesy of a free streaming broadcast. The aggregators tell me I’m rather late to the party, but since I’m beginning a brand new year full of resolution I’m... | | |
| 6:03pm | Funi’s Licensing Spree: What They Got, And What They Seem To Have Missed |  | | | Funimation had been seriously hyping up their New Year’s “New Show A-Go-Go” licensing announcement spree. They left clues hidden around their website for us to decipher, and promised a new show announcement every day for 10 days up until New Year’s Eve (starting on 12/22). Turned... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 4:50am | Dreams of the Year Behind: 2008 | | | | In light of the approaching New Year, it is once again time for year-end reflections. Do we wonder if 2008 was a good year for anime? Without a doubt, 2008 was no 2007, yet there was an abundance of good in 2008. Where did 2008 win, and why will I remember this year in anime? In the Season For my considerations,... | | |
| 11:44pm | Memorable Individual Episodes of 2008 |  | | | Let’s all watch together with Nagi-sama Like the title says, this post reflects what I see as the most memorable episodes of this year. These are in no particular order, and obviously don’t include episodes from shows I have not seen. Feel free to comment on my selections and add some of your... | | |
| 3:08am | 39 New Winter Anime -- full previews: staff, cast, pic, story, trailer | | | | The winter season is usually the least exciting of the year, but there are always surprises. Last year, there were true tears and Spice & Wolf. Here are some of this year's possibilities, followed by a complete preview of almost all the new shows:-- Genji Monogatari Sennenki is a new anime based... | | |
| 3:24am | Mike’s Winter 2009 Bandwagon Preview Post | | | | SouhI guess the fall season’s over. What’s up next on the menu next season? Summaries and info courtesy of THAT. There seems to be an awful lot of continuations and third seasons to shows I never completed, so I’ll have to skip over those. With that in mind, here we go. Kemono no... | | |
| 5:02pm | Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 2 | | | | Here on the cusp of Christmas, is there any better way to celebrate than with some more Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? Of course there isn't, which brings us untidily to the second instalment of the show's Goku OAV.Speaking of untidy, the animation for this particular episode is all over the place, but this... | | |
