| 11:00am | Interesting 4-Character Kanji Words: Yuju Fudan | | | | There's an interesting category of vocabulary words made up of four kanji characters, which probably represents a grammatical construction left over from the distant past when Japan was still adapting the Chinese writing system for its own use. They're fun to study since the meaning of the compound words... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 4:43am | End of 2008 - Languid Year | | | | Interesting “Fact” Ok, so I was talking to my friend and he brought up a very interesting point: In most (if not all) romance genre Anime, there is a bloody sidekick - either to support a love or to just be a clown. That person does NOT have to be a male character but tends to be male. Lets... | | |
| 1:40pm | 2008 Summary - Part I | | | | Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year. This time, I decided to split this entry in two halves, otherwise the list would simply become too huge. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, after Porfy no... | | |

| 3:15am | 3rd and 4th Days of Christmas - Fast Talking and Self-Mockery |  | | | As I have a much larger article to write tonight I’ll keep this one short and sweet. The 3rd moment is a memorable, cleverly written scene from episode 3 of the slice of life/action/loli dramedy Kure-nai–the three way conversation between Shinkurou, Murasaki, and Yuuno. The rapid-fire,... | | |
| 12:01pm | Chaos;Head 11–12: Takumi’s final delusion? | | | | The only part of the episode that made sense The only way to understand the sudden change of character in Takumi in episode 11 and 12 (and to salvage what was otherwise a psychological thriller) is to interpret the events in episode 11 and 12 as nothing more than what took place only inside Takumi’s... | | |
| 8:00am | Twelve Moments in Anime 2008 - #01: KimiKiss 24 | | | | Well, one year of anime fandom and insanity all, subjectively, comes down to this. With the gravity I’ve created for a situation like this, somewhat on purpose, somewhat or not, I suppose I should look back a bit on how this little ‘project’ (as I speak with my evil-genius mentality)... | | |
| 4:38am | Narcissu: a brief review of a brief visual novel | | | | I conceptualized a sort of satirical visual novel as a joke this morning, called She Dies At The End. It would consist of a girl (and obligatory male protagonist fawning over her) surviving numerous dangerous, dramatic perils over the course of a day, the D.N.Angel Domestic Deathtrap so to speak, only... | | |

| 7:07pm | 3rd Day of Christmas: Milking a Meme |  | | | While the School Days series completed its run in 2007, “Nice Boat” was a meme that remained popular through the beginning of 2008. It climaxed with the animators and writers of the series recognizing the prevalence of the meme and using it to their own advantage during the Magical Heart... | | |
| 12:50am | Funimation set to announce 10 licenses in 10 days | | | | As per AstroNerdBoy: FUNimation sent me this little blurb. Not sure if you have seen the podcast yet but we’re doing a big announcement thing. Starting 12/22 we are going to announce a show a day for 10 days. Ten license announcements and not even at a convention. Wow. That should cause quite a... | | |

| 6:02pm | Kannagi - 11 |  | | | Kannagi After Story. Summary: Jin wonders why Nagi takes so much such interest in the strange mahou shoujo anime she is watching, and as she imitates the heroine’s moves, this eventually leads Nagi to requesting that her magic stick be upgraded. This causes Jin to bring up the fact that Nagi... | | |
| 5:53pm | Weekly Digest - 12/07/08 - Harem Anime | | | | God I hope this doesn’t happen I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the feeling of a harem Anime. Some people actually like this - my guess is that they like it when all the girls wants to be banged by one guy. Well, for me, I hate it. I hated it since the beginning I saw Shuffle! It... | | |
