| 6:21pm | 12 Days of Christmas Day 1: A Really Sappy Iku/Doujou Hug |  | | | This year, we’re going with the whole “moments” of anime theme, as proposed by CCY. And it should be pretty easy, considering how many epic anime we watched this year Episode 10 of Library War was full of tumultuous conflicts, all of which poor Iku managed to get involved in. Her... | | |

| 2:51am | Winter 2008 – 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | I figure it’s appropriate to start writing this on Turkey Day. Physically, I’m stuffed and yet I’m trying to figure out a way to have another piece of my Mom’s apple pie – it’s simply impossible to make a better pie crust then hers. Mentally, I’m stuffed from the huge number of great fall... | | |
| 10:48pm | CJ on Library Wars |  | | | Apparently, she liked it enough to call it “the most lovable series I’ve seen in a long time”, despite “the shoujo-tastic ending”.Copyright © 2008 Pete Zaitcev ( (67.159.26.141) ) | | |
| 3:45pm | [Impressions] Library War (Toshokan Sensou) | | | | This is probably the first series in a loooooong time to make me rewatch episodes less than 24 hours after initially viewing them. It’s that good. And while I could go on and on and gripe about the shoujo-tastic ending, and how the series neeeeeeeded to be longer, and how some of this series... | | |
| 7:04am | Star Crossed Three Year Anniversary | | | | Oh boy, time flies by fast. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been ding this for three years at this point. Last year I celebrated this by showing some statistics (props to Google Analytics), which is what I’m going to do this time as well. General Statistics: Up till now, I’ve... | | |

| 5:48am | Happy Halloween | | | | Happy Halloween to all who view this blog! I have no wallpaper/picture/Anime/Manga/ etc-goodie gift for you, but instead I have something of both lesser and greater value. Depends on how much you read Manga from OneManga.com. I can’t guarantee that my treat to you all will work forever, but if... | | |
| 8:59pm | It’s Raining Toshokan Sensou Goodies! | | | | I’d have to admit, this is one sorry excuse for a Toshokan Sensou post. Then again, don’t we all love to see merchandise?! And besides, it’s always fun to showcase stuff like these, they serve as Badges of Fanaticism An idle mind is the devil’s playground, they say, or the... | | |
| 9:21am | Developer’s Diaries: A World You May Not Understand |  | | | Daniel, as Britishly modest as ever, seems to be downplaying the ridiculous amount of literature he’s been recommending to me–all of them stellar–in our quest to produce something of value as would be befitting our internet identities. I’m his mutual bitch friend in that regard,... | | |
| 12:58am | 2008 Anime DVD Sales Ranking |  | | | Here we have the rather interesting DVD sales ranking for 2008 anime, in this case focused on the first volume as a proxy for total popularity. There are a number of interesting results within the list, but the top and bottom are likely not surprising. These numbers are the number of DVDs sold over... | | |
| 2:16pm | Toshokan Sensou Author Hiro Arikawa’s “Top Runner” Interview | | | | After more than a month, I finally caught a glimpse of ToshoSen author Hiro Arikawa’s interview in NHK’s Top Runner (this is actually the 3rd rerun already, the 1st and 2nd of which was way back September), thanks to the power of live Japanese TV streaming! Rawr! But one thing I realized after watching... | | |
