| 12:20am | Zombie-Loan Vol 04 – Thoughts & Impressions | | | | About the Mangaka The mangaka this time is rather unusual, since Peach-Pit is actually a female duo. Sendo Banri and Ebara Shibuko have had success after success, though they did go through three other group names, before settling for Peach Pit. Every piece of work they have done has gone on to become... | | |
| 5:54pm | Why Do You Hate Fillers? | | | | Fillers, for most parts (and especially true in Naruto), serves no significant contribution towards achieving the end story other than dragging it out so the anime does not overtake the manga. This is to make sure that there are always materials for the anime to use, which is ironic in way since they... | | |
| 1:04pm | Shugo Chara Doki! - Episode 63, Lulu’s perfect christmas! |  | | | And yes, it’s a Christmas episodeLesson for today: If you don’t accept the gifts that others give you, they’ll be sad. ^_^The first part showed Lulu with her completed jewelry.

| 2:41am | CJ and Janette’s New Year’s Special! |  | | | Consider this to be like one of those pointless anime episodes where lolis the characters celebrate a random holiday while reminiscing or something Except, you know, we’re gonna be handing out awards. Best Engrish: CJ: “What ’bout my star?” from Macross Frontier. Awesome song,... | | |

| 1:05pm | Best Anime of 2008 | | | | Maybe it’s because I didn’t watch as many anime as I did last year due to work, but it seems like the overall quality of anime released this year wasn’t as high as last year. That doesn’t mean that the series that came out this year are bad. It’s just I find that there... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 10:23pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 64 - I got a Catboy for New Years! | | | | Okay, I didn't get a catboy, but Amu did. More on that later. The guardians are enjoying their new year at the local shrine when they run into a couple of kids who are supposed to be doing entertainment. Rima takes entertainment very seriously and somehow winds up making everyone practice balancing balls... | | |
| 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)... | | |
| 9:50pm | 9th Day of Christmas: When Plaid Was Popular Again |  | | | Running for over a year (60+ episodes) and still going is the magical Shugo Chara!, which was significant to me in being the new, modern staple of the mahou shoujo genre since Cardcaptor Sakura. Here the down-to-earth Amu just tries to live her life but is suddenly thrust into a world-saving mission.... | | |
| 12:50pm | Shugo Chara Doki!- Episode 62, Rima Versus Nagihiko! They’re Rivals?! |  | | | Yep, they are rivals all rightWow! My first episode review turns out to be none other than Shugo Chara Doki! Well then, I should start reviewing on it then ^_^The episode starts with the stupid Easter workers catching X eggs in order to modify Ikuto’s violin into something really powerful. Easter... | | |
| 10:55am | Shugo Chara! | | | | I can’t believe this one flew past my radar! After remembering (for whatever reason) a line in Renai Blogger where Hinano goes about wanting a certain manga of Shugo Chara, and after seeing a blog post on T.H.A.T. involving Ikuto from Shugo Chara, I felt that it was one of those shows that weren’t... | | |
| 8:08pm | Telepathy Shoujo Ran - 26 | | | | Short Synopsis: Ran and Midori use the power of love to get rid of the fox deity (hey, what else did you expect? An “Everyone dies”-ending?) Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 (Enjoyable) Ah crap. Of course, I should have noticed. That’s one major headdesk moment. Remember the episode... | | |
| 7:31pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 63 - Happy Christmas! | | | | Christmas episode. Actually quite charming minus the ten worthless minutes near the end. Lulu's family is throwing a party, and Amu's family is invited (through Amu's mother's magazine connections). Lulu is shocked to see Amu at the party, but Amu doesn't know that Lulu is the one who's been causing... | | |
