| 7:17pm | Gia on Azumanga |  | | | Gia’s article at AnimeVice reminds us about the 10th anniversary of the original manga run. It’s going to be three long years until the anniversary of anime. Azuma’s manga upon which it’s based is a 4koma comic strip, and in my opinion helped pave the way for later such strips... | | |

| 7:38am | Eri Kawai Memorial Album, "Himawari" | | | | As a huge ARIA fan I was surprised and saddened last year to hear the news of Eri Kawai's death.

| 8:04am | Winter Anime Impressions – Munto TV | | | | Continuing my impressions of the new winter season is the new show from KyoAni – Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Seikei or just Munto. The original OVA, from 2003 and 2005, is the only show of KyoAni that I haven’t seen and it is also KyoAni’s only original work. When I realized that... | | |
| 12:00pm | Winter Anime Impressions – Asu no Yoichi | | | | Asu no Yoichi was on my list of shows to watch but I didn’t really have high hopes for it because it looked liked it was a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy show with a heaping helping of fan service thrown in. But after Akikan, I was just hoping to see something at least passable. So did Asu no Yoichi... | | |
| 3:19pm | Comic Market 75 Day 1 Report | | | | Did Comiket really end just a week ago? It all seems so far away and dreamlike, except it’s one of those bad horror story dreams where you wake up and you’re out like 700 bucks and there’s a pile of doujin right next to your pillow. Also, a crystal skull. I decided to take day 1 of... | | |
| 5:51am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Scintillating Soundtracks |  | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs Part 3: Fun Phrases Unlike the openings and closings of anime this year, good standalone series soundtracks (that is, good in my subjective lack of taste sense) have been hard to find for me, which is a little sad.
