| 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... | | |
| 11:15pm | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 1 ~ genre |  | | | Every year, fresh from the Land of the Rising Sun, an overflow of anime in all directions surges out, and we, as technophiles, catch those torrents. In the year of 2008, there was quite many hits and misses. There’s no in-betweens, no so-sos, no kindas, sortas, or littles. Well maybe but I’d... | | |
| 2:03am | Best anime of 2008, and the anime year in review, part 1. | | | | Well, at the stroke of midnight, 2008 ended and the new year began, and whether you spent the night partying with family and friends or you spent your time reflecting on the past year, I hope you enjoyed the night.

| 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,... | | |
| 4:24am | The 2008 Best Themes Post | | | | I am totally stealing from CCY and cuchlann, and doubtless countless others, to bring you this post, a window into the mysterious workings of musical things in my mind. Expect it to make even less sense than usual! Opening and ending themes and sequences oftentimes hold a special place in my heart,... | | |
| 10:58pm | The Final Say - My Anime Of 2008 | | | | As the year comes to a close, I felt it was high time to take a look back at some of the titles that I had enjoyed throughout the last twelve months. The following titles that made it on this list never went through any stringent requirement checks, since I am not particularly demanding. While these... | | |
| 4:49pm | Anime 2008: A year in review | | | | How the hell am I supposed to open this post? I’m talking about every single anime in 2008, the best and the worst in every category. I haven’t seen everything this year obviously, such as Aria, ef, Shigofumi and DMC, but I’ve had a chance to check out pretty much everything else. Anyway,... | | |
| 5:00am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Beginning With Interesting People |  | | | By TheBigN I don’t know if I can do this next year, what with how the end of second year and the beginning of third year of med school (if I make it that far) goes. But more than about actually being able to see plenty of anime in 2009 is I’ll be motivated enough to keep track of stuff... | | |
| 5:51am | Marathon 2008: Second Round | | | | Well, the [in]finite queue is not friendly, but the biggest issue comes from decidig what I’d like to marathon ^__^ Timing is important. So here is a few of the recent things I’ve finished: Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei FInished, not a very good marathon candidate, but god do I love those... | | |
| 2:59pm | 12 Anime Moments in 12 Days (Day 5) - May: Addition by Subtraction | | | | Looks like Fumika and Chiaki’s trip stateside is delayed until further notice Someone’s not happy (points at self) I think it’s time for me to get involved in the Christmas Spirit. Finished my last exam for the semester yesterday. To follow up on the aside bro-ham brought up... | | |
| 2:17pm | J.C.Staff tracker | | | | When a series like Magical Index goes from “Best show of the year!” to “Holy crap, I hope this gets better” in the space of three episodes, the voices crying “J.C.Staff aren’t as good as they used to be” are rising again. Part of being a J.C.Staff fanboy is... | | |
| 8:17pm | Jigoku Shoujo - 56 | | | | Short Synopsis: A guy who gets bullied joins a Kendo-club. Highlights: These cases are getting more and more extreme Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent, although that may not be exactly the right word) Okay, new theory: either one of the following two must have happened somewhere between the... | | |
| 10:40am | Initiation. Chaos;Head Episode 1 | | | | Yes, at last. The first episode of Chaos;Head has aired hmm, a few days ago. That’s right, I’m slow with getting materials. But anyhow, moving on with the preview. Preview! But before that, some impressions about the series. I’ll still put it here, even though some of you will browse... | | |
| 10:52pm | Yozakura Quartet #02 — Rin Sucks | | | | At least give her a new outfit so she’s not in something garish from 1910. Impressions: Well, on the upside, Rin will probably stop being a pissant little whining brat now. On the down side, we have to sit through an entire episode of her angsting it up pretty hardcore which even rubs off on... | | |
| 10:29pm | Some quick first impressions: Kyou no Go Ni, Ga-Rei Zero and Inazuma 11 | | | | Kyou no Go Ni Short Synopsis: Our lead character does pretty much the same as in the OVA Highlights: and actually does a better job at it. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 There really are too many teenage-antics series this season, but the best ones so far for me came from Hyakko and this series. It... | | |
