| 8:25pm | A Yuri Epiphany, Podcasts Ship | | | | It took me nearly 3 years to realize why Simoun is so awesome. Partly because I had to borrow something that didn’t exist until just recently.

| 3:21pm | Best Themes 2008 ERRATA, or, I Kick Myself | | | | (errata for the previous post) My amazing ability to forget the most random things in my absentmindedness never ceases to amaze me. 90% of the reason I started the “best themes of 2008″ post was to post this, and, yet, I completely forgot to.

| 6:09am | A Quickie on Mental Bandwidth | | | | Author’s notes are often interesting because they point to interesting things. That is if you can read past the knee-jerk-ish explanation and suppress the reactive instinct to point and laugh about his seems-totally-wrong-to-me assumptionsand bring it down down to his level. Generally speaking... | | |
| 8:02pm | DiGiKerot on Simoun |  | | | Beta-Waffle: The thing with Simoun is that, really, there isn’t any kind of real story to it. Events only really happen in this show in order to force the characters into particular situations for the sake of inter-character drama - it’s a show which revolves entirely around it’s ensemble cast... | | |

I can’s believe this, for the first time in months I’m actually writing an episode post (Code Geass doesn’t count ).. The power of Clannad is strong.. My friend and I were watching it together, and... | | |
| 5:50pm | Eureka 7 OST Favourite - Sprinting Spirits | | | | A big thank you to Ivy who pointed me to the Eureka OST. We’re kindred souls in anime music indeed.

| 9:15pm | Yuri Anime: Simoun, Volume 5 (English) | | | | Sometimes, the worst part of a choice is the time before the decision is made. The doubts, the waffling, the feeling of "what if?"In Simoun Volume 5, all the choices are made, the cards are dealt and the fate of not only the Sibylla of Chor Tempest, but all the people whose lives touched theirs, is decided.I... | | |
| 10:52am | Gurren Lagann Volume 3 | | | | Once again, any inclination I had to start watching those Simoun DVDs was cast aside yesterday as the final episodes of Gurren Lagann arrived, and were promptly watched.
