I do not quite understand why GONZO allows them to show The Tower of Druaga, Sword of Uruk without any in-video ads. Wasn’t GONZO on the brink of bankrupcy? Maybe... | | |
| 2:37am | Goodbye, 2008 | | | | and good riddance. It was a crummy year, and I generally had other things than anime on my mind.

| 5:25am | Strike Witches Ita-Bento |  | | | This picture of an edible Strike Witches’ Gertrud Barkhorn nori (seaweed) decorated rice comes to us via Danny’s.

| 12:27am | Best and Worst Anime of 2008 |  | | | The last day of the year and a time to talk about what the best anime of 2008 was.
