| 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... | | |

| 5:16pm | 12 Moments of Anime Day 9 - Wilhelmina vs. Sabrac | | | | Perhaps the single best fight I watched this year was the one between Wilhelmina and Sabrac in episodes 20 and 21 of Shakugan no Shana II.
